Looking for earbuds with in-line mic and IOS controller with volume control
I ordered and received 3 different earbuds for comparison (plus my existing Panasonic RP-TCM125). For the price, nothing beats the Panasonics. The bass may be slightly pushed up but overall very good. They just lack a volume control. I tried 2 models of 1More earbuds. The piston classics and...- geobrick

Looking for earbuds with in-line mic and IOS controller with volume control
Maybe I'll try those too but I don't see the 1M301 on the 1more website. I see them on amazon's site though. Why do you think they aren't on the 1more website?- geobrick

Thanks. They look good. I just ordered the piston classic. Is there one model you'd recommend over the others?- geobrick

Looking for earbuds with in-line mic and IOS controller with volume control
I'm looking for something reasonably priced that are better than the earbuds packaged with an iPhone. I also want the convenience of the in-line controller that can do play/pause/skip and volume up and down (so I don't have to take the phone out of my pocket to pause or change the volume). I'm...- geobrick

Martin Logan Mikros 90 On-Ear Headphones
I've got 2 pairs. I paid about $120 for the first pair then bought the 2nd pair for $60 a few months later. I'm not sure how many they made. Maybe they decided they can still make money at this price point so they keep producing new ones. Or maybe distributers all over the world have...- geobrick

Master Noise Cancelling Shootout: Sony MDR-1RNC vs. Sony MDR-NWNC200 vs. AKG K490NC vs. Bose QC15 vs. Sennheiser Momentum vs. Harman Kardon NC
I assumed with the username 'FenderP' you'd enjoy extra bass. I used a Sansa clip zip playing a variety lossless FLAC files. Mostly rock/modern rock/Indie. A lot of that stuff is purposely mixed to be "in-your-face" but not all of it is. The MDR-10RDCs seem to be favoring the frequency range...- geobrick

Master Noise Cancelling Shootout: Sony MDR-1RNC vs. Sony MDR-NWNC200 vs. AKG K490NC vs. Bose QC15 vs. Sennheiser Momentum vs. Harman Kardon NC
Based on FenderP's review, I ordered a pair of Sony 10RDCs from costco.com (the local warehouse didn't stock them). My initial impression is they're comfortable and the Noise Canceling is very good (but that's just in a home environment - haven't flown with them yet). The audio quality...- geobrick

Master Noise Cancelling Shootout: Sony MDR-1RNC vs. Sony MDR-NWNC200 vs. AKG K490NC vs. Bose QC15 vs. Sennheiser Momentum vs. Harman Kardon NC
FenderP, I'm about to replace my Sennheiser PCX-450 headphones because the ear pads are starting to come apart. (which seems to be an eventual problem on all headphones I buy except the velour pads on my beyerdynamic headphones). Replacement pads are $60 and the headphones are 5 years old so...- geobrick

Martin Logan Mikros 90 On-Ear Headphones
yep. $54. Might be worth getting another pair at this price. I bought my first and only pair for $129. This thread is getting too hard to read. The modifications are interesting but there are too many cable and off topic comments. It seems they're all enjoying the headphones and having fun but...- geobrick

Update: This has already past. Did anyone buy them? ********************************************** Newegg will have these for $68 today at 1:00PM pacific time but it requires a rebate to get it down to that price from $88. It's one of their shell shocker deals that will run from 1:00PM to 2:59...- geobrick

Martin Logan Mikros 90 On-Ear Headphones
They're $85 with free shipping on newegg's current shell shocker for another 6 hours. I paid $130 a couple of months ago and have seen posts on this forum since then with prices as low as $80 (all from newegg). I don't need 2 sets so I'm not tempted to buy again but thought I'd post here for...- geobrick

Martin Logan Mikros 90 On-Ear Headphones
I paid $130 last week and like them so at $110, even better. I couldn't see the deal on the newegg site today since Hotmail seems to be down and I never got the newegg daily email but their normal selling price for the Mikros 90 is now $150. If the discount code in the link above works, and...- geobrick

Martin Logan Mikros 90 On-Ear Headphones
I received the headphones earlier in the week and I was surprised at how good the bass sounded. It could be that I expected much less based on the reviews here. The bass is solid, the mids (voice and guitar) are push up a bit but not muddy. The highs are smooth. That's my initial assessment...- geobrick

Martin Logan Mikros 90 On-Ear Headphones
I wasn't really in the market for headphones but I get newegg's 'shell shocker' promos emailed to me everyday and once in a while there's a real deal in there. They advertised the discount relative to its list price so I checked amazon to verify (they were being sold there for $210). In most...- geobrick

Martin Logan Mikros 90 On-Ear Headphones
It's an interesting question. I listen to mostly noise (rock, pop, punk) yet I want neutral sounding equipment. I don't want the audio components coloring the sound intended by the artist/producers. Though in a noisy environment, it helps to have increased bass. I have some music that's more...- geobrick

Martin Logan Mikros 90 On-Ear Headphones
There are some very mixed reviews here but most are not glowing endorsements. Many comments say they don't belong in the $300 price range compared to some other headphones in that range but if they were less than half that cost, would they be worth it? Newegg is selling them today (for another...- geobrick

Noise cancelling cans
Quote: Yes this is a year old thread, but I just wanted to address the clipping issue. A friend of mine has the QC15 headphones and the clipping you referred to is real but easily corrected. There's a well hidden attenuation switch on the cord where it plugs into the headphones. It's well...- geobrick

Pioneer TRE-D800 & SE-DIR800C
I just hooked mine up behined a cabinet before I read this and I can't get back to it easily. According to the manual on Pioneer's website, it's 9 volts and 800mA. The center of the tip is positive. Here's the direct link to the manual. And here's the link to the product page.- geobrick
