You need to buy a seperate tv for your PS2. There are only 2 worthwhile converters out there (vdigi and x2vga) and both only run on progressive scan games. (so like 99% of the ps2 catalog is out) Plus theres the issue of native resolution. Even if you could pass through the signal to your lcd...

Battery. They suck juice like nobody's business. Id suggest an amp. Wall socket or 9v preferably.

Quote: Originally Posted by PYROphonez Well I'm really not sure if I want to spend that much. I think what I'm really looking for is something cheap and more portable than my KSC75's when I really need the portability. The 630 would fit that bill then although I dont find...

Crimes like this make the death penalty justifiable. Killing someone, meh, they dont have to live with it. Stealing their music and thereby soul, pure evil. Sorry about your loss. Heres hoping the story takes an unexpected good turn soon.

Is it really this bad? It sounds like they self implode after the 1 year warranty mark as if on cue. Anybody use IEMs daily and not have them die off for awhile?

Im wondering what the general feeling is around here as to the uselife of a typical IEM. With my cans I never worry much about it as everything I have tended to buy was solid and lasted for years. However, being new to IEMs and them feeling fragile in compairison, I wondered how long I should...

Fantastic for the money but I dont think they represent musical purity at all. If you have a low end portable IEM need to fill, theyre tops. I wouldnt want to use them as home reference however. I also dislike how grossly inefficent they seem. Your portable needs to have a bit of juice behind...
