I joined in 2005 think it was, don't come around much..but still get emails once in a blue moon on updates threads..    I have that problem with my Senheiser's  the left ear always touches and rubs against the top...after long sessions my ear gets pretty sore :/ 

The E30 seems pretty much what I'm looking for, though I'm not sure if I could get used to cable going up and over the ear.  Is there a plastic piece or is it just all wire, looked at the pics from Soundmagic's site and it's really hard to tell.

Thanks for the replies, I really didn't want to start yet another "I need a headphone thread"  but I haven't seen anyone looking for less isolation.  Most IEM rec threads seem to want more isolation,  I had the Marshmallows for a brief time but could never get used to both the sound signature...

I'm going to be running ampless for a while, source will be a Nano 6g... I'm looking for an IEM that does not have a ton of isolation, I like to hear a bit of what goes on around me. I have pretty small ear canals, but my experience with IEM's is pretty limited at best.   Most of my music...

Quote: I was looking at there site the other day,  only there newer models work with the 6th gen.  How does your 6th gen sound with this new dock? 

Quote: If I knew what I was going to get back I probably would of kept my first gen too, I was a tad nervous though as it was getting warmer and warmer on recharges.    The funniest thing, I seriously think the replacement 6th gen runs even hotter...also nothing I have works on it...

Thanks Everyone, looks like I maybe wrong, I contacted ALO and they told me the earlier ALO LOD do not work on the 6th gen, Apple changed something and that I would need to get a new dock. I dug out my Turbodock I can't remember what revision 12, 14, I just can't remember and that doesn't work...

Well I just spent a wonderful hour and a half on the phone with tech support, senior tech support, and lastly someone to discuss "Apple's Polices" with me.    Senior tech support was trying to tell me that if the 3.5mm audio outputs audio to the iBuds, synchs and charges...then as far as...

Found this older thread on Apple, now curious if the 6g even works with docks https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592805?threadID=2592805&tstart=0

Well that didn't fix it...

Yea 1st gen replacement, if I knew what I was getting stuck with I would of just kept the first gen..though it was getting quit toasty in the last year or two.   Doing a restore on this thing now and see if that will fix it, been with out a portable source for 7 weeks now.

Just got a replacement Nano today, 6th generation, I tried both a Turbo dock (V12?  I can't remember) and an ALO bling bling dock to Govibe 5.  I'm getting no audio.  Do these new iPods only work with headphones connected, or do I need a different dock now?    Just one more thing I'm not...

I sent my first gen back to Apple after reading there email stating there is the chance of overheating and or catching fire.   Fast forward 7 weeks, Apple is finally sending me a replacement Nano, I checked the serial number on there site and the replacement is a 6th gen.   Can anyone that's...

Thanks,  I just tried that, still same unrecovereable error.   Can it be Patchmix?  Right now it shows ASIO Out31/32  Insert send out to PCI L/R there is S/PDIF   but that isn't ticked off, I tried checking it but it didn't make a difference   Anyone have a working session to use WASPI?

Well I got it working via ASIO, I was under the impression Windows 7 used WASPI  not ASIO.   Anyone have opinions on which is better ASIO, or WASPI, better in terms of Bit-Perfect.

I've searched and searched and can't exactly figure out what I'm doing wrong.  I'm trying to run a new PC with Windows 7 64bit, Foobar 1.1.8  EMU0404 PCI, Toslink out to external DAC.  I downloaded and installed WASPI in the componet folder of Foobar, selected WASPI Speakers EMU DSP. I get...

Sony BDP-470 Blu-Ray player, Fosmon HDMI cable (never herd of but looks good)   Sylvania HDTV still up in the air on keeping the TV or taking it back and trying to get a Vizo....Anything would have to be better then my 17 year old tube TV at this point,  few Blu-Rays, clothes.

Old fart checking in, I stop in occasionally, my health has side lined me and my pockets are way lighter then they once where...  Still rocking my Head-Five & Entech Number cruncher DAC... I hope to be able to afford some new cans in the coming new year :)

  Quote: Really likiing this band,  think I'll get both cd's from amazon if I can't find one or the other used   Quote:      There pretty cool too, far from heavy, more alt but I'm open to any suggestions of "good" music, clean vocals, and good lyrics.     Thanks again...

Thanks everyone, can't believe I forgot to list NIN, I love most of it, also I have Tools first album but it doesn't get much rotation I think I need to give it a few more listens.   Also thanks for the recommendations, I"m off to check out the above mention bands Gojira and Godflesh

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for, I want something deep, good lyrics, moody, heavy. I prefer something without or very little screaming and/or growling. In pretty consistent rotation lately: In Flames - Soundtrack To Your Escape, Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone, VNV Nation.. So something...

For the longest time I been running 2 sound cards, 1 EMU0404 (internal PCI) going Toslink out to a Numbercruncher DAC, then to a Headfive. In order to watch movies, skype (mic), games etc... I also installed an old internal Audigy (original not a 2). Well everything recently changed when...

Well this is my second pair of Senheiser HD485's, first one same issue sent back and got replaced under warranty a year ago. Now out of warranty.. The plastic tabs that hold the earpad eventually break off for no reason with age (along with the headband), well one of the tabs is trapped in...
