Need Help: iPod, Cowon or Sansa
I thought I'd reply to this thread even though it's almost a year old, in case anyone finds my response helpful. I've been considering the same question. The BIGGEST question to consider is - how/where will you be using the player? I have a Cowon D2+ that has served me well for almost 5 years...- genesisman

General purpose IEMs - <$50 - office, workout, travel
Sounds like the A151s will be my next phones! Thanks everyone! PS - You know, there's really a gap in IEM choice between $75 and $200, and $100+ is too much to spend on portables, IMO.- genesisman

Review by 'genesisman' on item 'Ultrasone Zino'
These are pretty nice portables, but not for use on anything but computers and portable players. The S-Logic sound takes a little getting used to until they're burned in, after that they're just fine. They can sound artificial though, and I 'm glad I didn't pay any more for these (they MSRP'd at...- genesisman

Review by 'genesisman' on item 'Panasonic RP-HT46-S Stereo Headphones with XBS Extra Bass System (Silver)'
These were a great little portable, folding over-the-ear headset I had and loved for a long time, with an inline volume control. Until one day when I folder them up, and got a whiplash effect somehow, breaking the headband in half. Not good.- genesisman

These are basic, generic, all-purpose phones, nothing special but they work.- genesisman

Review by 'genesisman' on item 'Sennheiser CX 400-II Stereo Ear-Canal Headphones - Black'
I was extremely disappointed with these, thinking they'd sound much better than they do. They sounded, weak, thin, and tinny, with no bass. After reading some reviews here and elsewhere I can't believe the rating they get compared with what I got -- so I'm wondering if I got a bad pair. But it's...- genesisman

General purpose IEMs - <$50 - office, workout, travel
Overall on Head-Fi, the Brainwavz M1 are rated lower than IEMs by MEelec, SoundMagic, and Dunu. The M2s are a possibility, if I can find them for a steal of a price. Speaking of Dunu and SoundMagic, I have a concern about the customer service reputation of these Chinese companies. I have...- genesisman

General purpose IEMs - <$50 - office, workout, travel
JK1 posted (post is hidden on site?) that the MC5s are $59, this is correct, I would get used ones if I decided on those. JK1 also mentioned the MEElectronics A151 ($50, amazon) and M21 ($23, amazon, rates lower). I've seen their name bandied about on various websites including this one...- genesisman

General purpose IEMs - <$50 - office, workout, travel
I'm looking for a good pair of general purpose IEMs, $50 or less, for office, workout, and travel. I want good sound, but since these will be for portable players and desktop computers I don't want to spend a lot of money in case they get lost, stolen, or stepped on. Looking for something that...- genesisman
