I posted the following in another thread: The KSC-75 are a bit more comfortable than the KSC-35 and, thanks to the rubber on the clips, stay on a bit better; however, their sound is a bit inferior to the 35, mainly because the latter have better bass. Overall, still a great headphone...

The 890 are more "plush" and larger, but I much prefer the sound of the DT 231.

Sorry for dredging up a really old thread, but this is the only thread I could find about the Apple In-Ear Headphones. I was browsing iPod sites today and saw this article about a "mod" for them. Anyone have them and some Shure eartips? http://playlistmag.com/features/2004...ones/index.php

I haven't posted in a while, but I have heard both of these models and, with all due respect to the reviewer, think they're getting far more praise than they deserve Quote: Originally Posted by Max Minimum Krishna, it's the CM5's that are about 50 bucks. the CM7ti's (ti for...

The only wireless headphones I'd spend money on are the xdream system or the Amphony system. Alternatively, Koss just came out with a wireless system that lets you use your own favorite headphone -- worth considering.

Long-time no post, I know Long-time Head-Fi members know that I've generally been, well, less than kind to the Bang & Olufsen A8. The few times I had heard them in the past I was quite unimpressed. Although I liked the design, I thought they sounded mediocre and were completely overpriced...

Quote: Originally posted by rodbac how can you guys STAND to have to worry about charging your player so often? That's just the point -- we don't. When I come home, I just plop the iPod in the dock. It gets charged, syncs any new songs, syncs contacts/calendars/notes/etc., and is...

Quote: Originally posted by 3Double Carrying around 40 gigs of music with you is really kind of pointless, since you can only listen to it for about 8 hours before you have to recharge. You call it "pointless," I call it "variety. I generally only listen to MP3s for a couple hours...

They only leak if you listen loud. At reasonable levels, they don't leak at all. If your KSC-35 are leaking a lot of sound, your bigger concern is hearing damage, IMO.

Quote: Originally posted by sygyzy Believe it or not, some people *need* 8+ hours. Open your mind to that possibility. If you actual read what I wrote, both here and in other threads, you'd know that I clearly have considered that possibility. In fact, whenever I talk about battery...

Quote: Originally posted by Theresamarie1 I wonder what design point issues are forcing the short battery life just like it's big sister. Same design issue as the regular iPod: size. Rio Nitrus is 4.32 cubic inches, iPod mini is 3.6 cubic inches. That's .72 cubic inches. That's a...

I think all of these 4GB players are going to be flops in the long run -- at least until the 1" hard drives drop in price dramatically. Right now there are too many nice 1.8" players for $300 (like the 15GB iPod, for example) that have more features and much more storage space. If these...

Quote: Originally posted by Skeeve Muvo gets my vote. Great battery life, no need for pointless software as it just shows up as a drive and it sounds great for a little player. The "pointless software" is part of what sets the iPod apart from the other two for me. iTunes lets you do...

Quote: Originally posted by Dweebgal wasn't the creative muvo2 4gb announced a while ago, he *could* have compared it to that. but that wouldn't be good marketing. I think it would have been good marketing, considering the feature sets. Except for longer battery life, the iPod...

Quote: Originally posted by austonia its not any more ridiculous than Steve Jobs comparing iPod mini 4gb vs. Rio Chiba 256mb. lol... why not toss in a Sock to the comparison as well. Hmm... since the only other 4GB player on the market was announced... oh, today, it wasn't exactly a...

Quote: Originally posted by insomniac MacDEF, do you think you could explain the difference in sound between the ipod and the zen xtra? I personally find the iPod to be a bit more accurate; i.e., flatter. The Zen was a bit more "exciting" in that it had a bit of emphasis at certain...
