I guess it depends on your idea of recent. I count 4 for sale going back to the 12th of January.

There is a 3move on the for sale board right now.

It seems like a flurry of Mustangs have popped up on the for-sale board recently. Is that a trend? What are people replacing their Mustangs with?

ha nice... and why? is it too noisy on Air Force One? do they have to double as a chew toy for the new dog?

Davicho - You make a good point that cars can be just as isolating. I have never understood how those high end cars that sell noise isolation are allowed to be made. More broadly...I suppose I was trying to carve out the issue that I saw developing on the thread in rational terms that could...

To celebrate inauguration day I thought I would put for a challenge to you head-fi'ers. What headphone rigs would you pick for Obama's and members of the new administration...and why???? W3's and an iPod for Pres. Obama? Grado's for the 1st lady? Portapro's, Fiio E3's and nanos for the...

congrats!

Something to consider is other examples...like a high noise worksite. Certainly people ideally want to be able to hear at a gun range or a factory but there is a trade off of protecting your ears vs. being able to receive the sound cues that might prevent an accident. Also you might...

I have no deductible. And in my experience, there was a minimum yearly fee that had several thousand in coverage so I worked it out to decide how much I could cover as cheaply as possible. They are going to insure things for the cost of purchase so you bring in receipts for...

yeah I agree that it sounds like a bad idea not to have your ears available while riding.

Your situation inspired me to post on insurance here: Personal Articles Policy Might be helpful next time around.

Hi. I just read a post about a head-fi loving guy who's dog ate his headphones and thought I would share a bit of info about insurance. It wasn't until I was I in my mid-20's that I realized I could get affordable insurance to protect much of my electronic gear. At the time I was buying...

What you might want to try is something like musician earplugs like the er20's. If I understand the principle - they are meant to block dangerously loud sound levels but allow you to hear normal sounds.

I tried out a pair of PK2's. I can't compare to the other headphones you are considering but the PK2's are a very nice earbud. $75ish seems fair to me for the sound quality. They are built solid as well. I am sure any of those headphones will be an improvement.

EFN these amps are never going to stay in stock if you keep talking them up like this.

I have a Fiio E3 and think it does help the er4p's and sony v6's I have used with them. I think it depends on the headphones and the sound you want. Hard to beat $10 price tag. There is someone selling a cmoy right now for about $15 on the forum. It is a bit beat up but might be an option.

So EFN are you going to hit us with a mid-burn up-date?

taelen - I have been testing out a pair of Shures 310 ($180ish) and they sound very lush with guitar rock, I can't see anyone not enjoying that match. I haven't heard the Ultimate Ears or the Klipsch.

Yuin PK2's I like the Yuin PK2's quite a bit. They have a nice relaxed sound and a particular kind of clarity. Materially they feel very solid for a little pair of earbuds. I also liked the packaging - they come in a little wooden box. The clarity isn't the crystalline grace of the...

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. tstarn06 - I am curious about those Nuforce NE 7's as a value buy. I don't know how much more time I have to put into this particular shopping session but it is a blast to have the chance to spend an extended time with a few decent...

Thanks for the encouragement yakuzaph. So after an online ordering suck (don't order from Electronica Direct over the holidays)...I finally was able to cancel my order of the Shure SE310's that where lost at a warehouse somewhere. I am back in NYC and was able to head over to my friendly...

Hi. Been 6 years now how are you? So my ipod finally died and I decided to replace it with something smaller and cheaper and put the money into a nice pair of portable cans. I picked up a Sansa Clip and dig it and am now on to the headphones. I am trying out the er4p, Shure Se310 (both to...

yep mindless crap phones...the last of which i swiped from an airline cause i thought they sounded better than my other crap phones. find headroom... sony v6's for a week or so. ahhhhhhhh. i even just bought my first pcdp so i can use the v6's more. not

thanks for the warning. i guess i'll go with a panasonic. ...the sl-sx280 or 390. not

anyone have any good reasons to avoid the sony d-ej621 pcdp to go with my new v-6's? it can get it for $70 bucks, it plays cd-r/rw. main thing is i want a cheap pcdp that has good sound and can handle the subway and walk to school. $70 is me going over my limit really...i'd perfer to...
