Thanks hockeyb213. Will the comply tips you recommend will fit the IE8's without any adjustments? There are a few out there and I'd hate to order ones with the wrong sized holes. (Shudder). Hey no criticism at all on the IE8's. The fact that they expose weakly recorded material's flaws only...

Hi guys, just got the Sennheiser IE8! Best I've ever listened to (coming from UM2). Listened to it for hours on my iPhone and the music was just so engrossing. I love these IEM. But one thing I've noticed is that in my lunch hour I go to the park and catch up on news podcasts. I've been using...

Thanks for sharing oicdn. I'm sure we're mostly just amazed it can be done and dead keen to see a pic of your unlocked phone. If you get a chance please reconsider and post a pic, for the doubters and for curious people like me that want to see something surprising.

The shuffle 1G is a flash player that is better sounding from the headphone out that it's bigger HD based iPod brothers. SQ is awesome. There's no reason a flash player can't out preform a HD based player (except maybe the Kenwood with it's in-built amp or an iMod). I guess there's a plethora of...

Just ordered a pair. Nick of time too - his deal finishes on the 10th and I figure it's a great price if they're half as good as you guys say they are. ZackT

Advise please folks... I totally stuffed my old UM2's in a case with my 2 first gen iPod Shuffles one two many times. Now the left side IEM isn't working... big sigh! What do you think i should do? Take advantage of the 5% + discount from our sponsor and get another one (this time in...

Hey, can anyone help me get my head around this site? http://www.musicgiants.com It doesn't work on my mac (doesn't seem to support Safari). Is it a lossless download site? What format? Thanks. ZT
