In regards to comfort, may I also recommend getting your tips at Comply? I bought them for my Etymotic ER-4S and I'absolutely love them. My favourite tip type are the Comply P-Series which offer incredible amount of isolation.   This will be a godsend if you commute, and you'll not ever need...

I was hoping that perhaps a different type of LOD cable would perhaps fit my iPod Touch connector better, but after visiting the FIIO website, I think that was wishful thinking on my part.    The thing is that I can just sync just fine with Itunes... Why does God hate me?

Thanks for the suggestion goodvibes. I did in fact remove the case during my initial troubleshooting.

Dear HeadFi'ers,   I just locally bought a FIIO Alpen E17 which I planned on using with my 3rd generation iPod Touch, along with my Etymotics ER-4S. I'm currently using a FIIO L3 LOD cable; however, I have connection issues with my iPod.    The Fiio Alpen E17 with the LOD 3 works without...

I want to thank everyone again.

I want to thank you both AstroTurf and bubsdaddy for sharing your input.       My daily train and subway/metro commuting prompted my initial desire for noise cancelling cans. As previously mentioned I often have to deal with annoying loud people and cellphone chatter     After having...

Thank for the input.   The darned problem is that I have Buddha like ears. Earbuds never stick in my ears. I once tried an Apple's own brand IEM and they refused to stay lodged in my head as well.  So I'm somewhat apprehensive about that option. The wireless option is intriguing, but not...

Ok so don't shoot me...   I'm not not well versed with portable hi-fi equipment and technology. I have a small predicament and am not sure how to proceed...   My piece of crap Dr. Dre StudioBeats that I bought  from a colleague for $160 broke down and I plan on replacing them with a...
