Just installed a set of Liberators on my 325i's and I must say I'm impressed. I was beginning to think the 325i's weren't for me, but the Liberators have really made a difference. Using the standard bowls, the sound is pretty much still in your face, but with some extra breathing room. Think of...

Pretty nice so far. I'm auditioning them as I type this. I'll have some better impressions after a few hours. But so far, so good. Very even presentation with a very full sound. The new roadie case is a pretty nice addition as well. Again, kudos to UE for getting these out as soon as...

Or any cable upgrade, for that matter. I'm curious and feeling upgradeitus again. Anyone made the upgrade on their 580's? Any major improvement? Would it be better to save the $185.00 - $235.00, sell the 580's and upgrade to the 650 with stock cables???

First off, I've read tons of praise for the HD580s (so much so that I ordered me up a shiny new pair!). My favorite sounding IEM would probably have to be the UE Super.fi 5 pros. How does the HD580 compare to them, for those who have both? Just killing time until my 580s come in. Thanks!

In less than two weeks, my E500's started exhibiting diminished sound out of the left bud (all other earphones work fine, so it's not the "iPod killed my left earbud" thing). At any rate, I sent them back to Shure to have them take a look at them under warranty. They just received them today...

I shied away from the Ultimate Ears brand for awhile. I’m not quite sure, but for some reason, I didn’t take them as a serious audio manufacturer. I’ve owned the Shure E2cs, E4s, and Westone UM2’s and quite easily passed up the offerings from UE. Then, on a business trip, I happened into a...

Has anyone done an SQ comparison between a shuffle with no EQ to a 5G iPod using EQ. I'm curious if they sound similar or not because I'd like a more portable solution for the gym. I just may have to break down and buy a nano again, but if I could get away with a shuffle, that might be best...

I PM'd him, but haven't heard back. I'm needing a RA IC and like my straight Sky Blue Mini so much that I'd like to have a RA version of that cable.

Besides a more barren and empty wasteland of a wallet! I'd be using both the Super.fi 5 Pro's and my trusty UM2's with the Hornet, if I decided that I needed one. What could I expect in terms of overall SQ, soundstage, bass/treble response, etc.? Anyone out there make this same transition...

I'm getting sick of my lo-fi, camera bag solution for my 5G, 30GB iPod and Go-Vibe V3, so I'm very interested in the HeadRoom bags. I've got a TURBODOCK II and RnB 6" IC to consider in the mix as well. Any suggestions? TIA

I made the mistake of leaving my UM2's at home this morning and was forced to downgrade to an old pair of Sony MDR-EX 51's I had in my desk. Man oh man what a difference! Even though the MDR-EX 51's are very comfortable, I had to take them out after just a few minutes because the sound quality...

I noticed that when I plug my headphones directly into the SendStation line out, the volume is maxed and the onboard volume control has no effect. Is this normal? If so, why???

As far as DAP’s go, there’s a lot of talk about the iPod nano and the new 5G iPod. And, as far as IEM’s go, there’s a lot of talk about the Westone UM2 and how they compare to the Shure E4’s. What’s the SQ of the 5G compared to the nano and vice versa? Which set of IEM’s work best with each? Do...

I'm bored and sort of feeling upgrade-itus (again - I know, pathetic!) so I was browsing around and noticed that my local Best Buy has the 5G ipods in stock (both the 30gb and 60gb flavors). I'm still within my 30-day return policy window with BB and was toying with the idea of getting a ipod...

A little over a month ago, I was completely happy with NOT having a "portable audio rig" - probably didn't even know what that meant! Then, I bought an iPod nano primarily because my iRiver iFP-790 wasn't cutting it in the storage department. I thought the iPod was kinda cool and sounded...
