Can anyone here recommend a good cable that can serve this purpose for staying wired but having good android controls for volume/skip tracks/pause?

I see a lot of chinese brands on Amazon with great reviews but I'm somewhat skeptical of Amazon reviews.  So I'm turning to the Head-Fi community to shoot me some suggestions for what to buy.  I'll be purchasing from Amazon Canada so that does limit what I can get.   Thanks for any help.

Without having access to either of these what could I realistically expect to get soundwise from these iem's. I'm currently using Monster Turbines and love em and the prices on these 3 option's are currently quite good. Thanks

So obviously I own a pair of the 210's...but to be honest they aren't the most comfortable to wear using any of the provided tips. Now apart from customs which I don't want to shell out that much for as I'm certainly not an audiophile...would moving to something like an Atrio m8/m5, Klipsch...

Newegg.ca has the Senn HD 255 and the 280pro for around $120 each. But I'm quite clueless as I've never owned a pair of full size phones before. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I'm wanting to keep my ears warm and listen to good tunes at the same time.

Ok...so I picked up a pair of 210's really cheap from BB and have read how the bass on these iem's is very lacking. Can this be overcome by the equalizer and dac of the D2 to produce better bass than normal.

I want to get a boombox that can play mp3's via sd card or usb stick. Does anyone have any experience with this and can recommend one. Great sound and bass is a must. I'm not sure if this type of item even exists.

Basically as the title indicates...from what I've read I'm pretty much sold on these.

So, I don't really mind the JBL's at all but the Shures on sale for $100 at Futureshop and so do you think it would be a worthy upgrade. From what I've read the Shure's are great except for lacking in the bass area...But would people also say that the JBL's are lacking in bass because if so then...

1. What is the difference between the m5 and the m8? just color? 2. Where is the best deal for these for a Canadian? Checked out ebay but shipping to Canada is roughly around $30 bucks...YIKES

Waiting for D2 to arrive, but have no clue what iem's to consider. I'm in Canada so that certainly limits my options and I do not want to spend $200+ for iem's. Any recommendations?

Has anyone had any experience with these iem's and can comment?

Lowest I've found so far is 75$ from NCIX.

What do you recommend?

I'm a postie and I currently use Koss Porta-Pro's but these don't cut it in the middle of a January winter for helping keep my ears warm. So I'm looking for recommendations for full coverage phones that give as good if not better sound than my Porta-pro's and for under $100. Thanks

I would like to purchase a comparable if not better set of cans to replace my porta-pro's within the same price range roughly.

What's the reason why the selection up here blows ass chunks compared to what the US best buy gets?

What do you think. I get the impression that we don't really get much of the selection that other parts of the world get when it comes to electronics...DAP's from this pov. As an example...Iaudio is hardly available at any stores here...NCIX being one of the few...the u3 isn't even sold...

I'm still waiting to see this player and how it performs but as of yet I haven't seen it available anywhere...now that could be cause I live in Canada and it takes forever for anything to show up here. Still though...if anyone's seen this player, drop a note.
