Hey guys,   I'm looking for an upgrade to my Shure SE215 as I find the bass too overwhelming and lacking details and mids. I've narrowed down to these 3 and having a hard time to make a final decision.   Sony Ex1000, supposed to be one of the best with well controlled bass and good mids, but...

I just bought this to replace my lost Z1060. I have a pair of Shure SE215 at the moment, will this do the player justice or will it be better to upgrade? I'm currently looking at the Shure SE425, Sennheiser ie80 or the Sony XBA 3, leaning towards the IE80 at the moment because of the good...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a replacement for my lost Z1060 walkman. Will this be a good upgrade to the Z or should I save $150 and buy a second hand Z? I have heard the main difference is that the F has more detailed sound while Z has more fun (bass) sound? And that the F is more portable...

I appreciate the offer, but I suppose the new F886 is around the $350 price range as well. Anyone know if that is much of an improvement over the Z?   Thanks   Aaron

Hi guys,   I have unfortunately lost my Sony Z 1060 that was purchased 2 years ago and now in the market for a new player. Just wondering if there's any new models for a reasonable price around the $300 range I should consider as a replacement? The ZX1 sounds really good, but not sure if it'll...

Well, just made the final decision to get the 1080mkii, should be good enough for my needs. Thanks for the suggestions anyway but the MKIII is too big for my room and bit expensive too... As for the cables, since the PS3 is connected to TV via HDMI and all sound comes from the TV, should I just...

I just got the Z to replace my broken old Sony NW HD5, everything is good except one thing...the battery life. I charged it to 99% battery on the night before, only listened to about 2 hours of MP3 on it and the battery is now at 33%...this is pretty ridiculous since I've made sure to turn it...

  Hi guys,   I've bite the bullet and bought the Swan d1080mkii to replace my Altec Lansing fx6021, got a great deal too at $199 AUD. I still have time to change the order and tempted at the M50w and H4. How do these compare with the H4 or M50w? From what I gather, H4 is one of the top...

Hi, I've had my Sharp m33s for a long time now and bought them since they were getting good reviews back in the time. But are the new earphones much better than the older ones? I'm considering the Klipsch S4. Are there any other good choices in the similar price range?   Thanks.

i'm gonna replace my ex51s, and which is a better choice? i listen mostly on buses and trains so isolation is important, but is e888 almost no isolation? in terms of sound quality, e888 is much better than ex81 right? and ex81's earhook might be annoying since i wear glasses... any...

do u have any cracks on the buttons with ur HD5 yet? http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=215060 it seems that most ppl with silver units have cracks after awhile.....hopefully its only for UK models and not jap/asia models..

i heard the HD5 is made in Malaysia, is this true? and about how long does the battery last for u?

any1 suggests how to properly burn in the ex71/81? mines about 40hrs old now, playing mostly rock/soft vocals/pop...and the theres improved 'boomy' bass, but not on vocals... can u balance it by playing more soft sounding music instead of bassy songs?
