      Stop it with the battery posts alrea...   Wait, different guy, nevermind.   Also, even though my Clip Zip is still alive, the wait for this is killing me. I can't wait to see a video review of it, to have a taste of the UI.

    I have a question, I'm used to having my Clip Zip in my pocket and, operating it blindly is quite easy. I see no dedicated volume buttons on the M3, what are the steps for changing the volume from several screens? including the playing now screen and, the media library browser. The same goes for...

    Getting a USB sound card this week; Creative Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 or Asus Xonar U7?

    I just bought the U7 last night, it seemed to have better overall reviews...I was so excited about getting my first sound card and, I just couldn't wait any longer :V. Also, the potentiometer from DX because, volume knob for my Sony...whatever it's supposed to be :3

    Getting a USB sound card this week; Creative Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 or Asus Xonar U7?

    I'm happy with the way my Sony DP-GA500 sounds through USB but, it has a tiny wheel to control the sound (which is on the back, along with ALL the inputs and outputs) and, offers only stereo sound through USB. I'm looking for something that has an easy way to control the volume (analog or...

    Getting a USB sound card in about a month; Creative Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 or Asus Xonar U7?

    Hmm, I'll see if I can get a reply this week, otherwise I'll ask in the computer audio section. Thanks for your replies.   In the meantime , I'll do some more research about both cards and, try to find a way to explain what I want/am looking for.

    Getting a USB sound card in about a month; Creative Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 or Asus Xonar U7?

    Yeah but, there's an entire sub-section dedicated to help and recommendations. Would this thread and questions fit better in the computer audio section than here?

    Need help! Nokia earphones not working on other devices :(

    That's because Nokia used a diferent (and older, not used anymore) TRRS standard as you can see here:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)#TRRS_Standards   You can press the button (and use some tape or something to keep it pressed) and, it'll sound just fine.

    Comply TS-200 or TSX-200, is the filter worth the extra money?

    Maybe I should've posted some extra info.   Even though having my IEM's insides protected would be nice, my ears aren't a wax factory and, I usually clean my ears before putting my IEM when I feel they're dirty. I've also carefully cleaned my IEM's filters several times, blowing away what I...

    Comply TS-200 or TSX-200, is the filter worth the extra money?

    I want to buy either a set of Comply TS-200 or TSX-200 (for my XBA-3) and, before doing so, I want to know a couple things about the TSX-200.   How will the filter affect the sound of my IEMs? Will the filter survive cleaning? What would be the best way to clean it?   I chose the spherical...

    I'm bummed :(

    This is the very first test I've ever done like this; I did it with 3 devices:   PC (no soundcard, just the realtek thing from the motherboard) to Sony DP- GA500 (magical box thingy that takes a 7.1 input through 3.5mm cables and ouputs it as 2 channel) to XBA-3. I've tweaked the eq a bit...

    Are Sony XBA-3 worth a 120-ish price? More details inside! :D

    Mercadolibre only has 1 seller for the Zip and, I spent a long time looking for it in local stores (also, online) but, the Zip was nowhere to be seen. I got it from an online store called Nettbee, it's in Guadalajara. Hopefully, it'll arrive this week, I have no idea of how fast Multipack is...

    Nope, it hasn't happened again and, I've been using them a lot. Also, I'll be getting my Clip Zip soon, I'll finally have an actual music player :3

    Are Sony XBA-3 worth a 120-ish price? More details inside! :D

    Keep checking their price, they returned to their regular price a day after I got my XBA-3...only to return to the ridiculously low price a couple days after that. It's not hard since they got it on their site :3

    Are Sony XBA-3 worth a 120-ish price? More details inside! :D

    That's why I got the XBA-3, not extremely expensive but, not a huge step-down from the XBA-4 ^_^. Also, yesterday, the right earphone went almost silent for no reason at all, I was playing a game in my PC and, the sound of the right earphone went into barely audible levels of volume. I tried...

    Are Sony XBA-3 worth a 120-ish price? More details inside! :D

    Yup, no problems at all on my side, from the store, bank (I paid using my debit card) or my headphones :3. 146-ish USD for the XBA 4s? Something is horribly right with those prices o_o

    Wow, you're right...and I just got them yesterday...o_o. Now they cost as much as the XBA-4 did when I got my XBA-3:

    Are Sony XBA-3 worth a 120-ish price? More details inside! :D

    Liverpool, you can even check the price at their site. I was shocked when they had a price that low (compared to Sanborns and other big fancy stores), not even Mercadolibre has a price as low as that O_O. And yeah, those silicone/foam tips are amazing, and did something even my NC-33 had trouble...

    Keep them stored until I need them, especially since they're good with the noise isolation part and, I'll be carrying them with me everywhere. Or, I may sell them if needed because I got them for less than half their price :3

    Are Sony XBA-3 worth a 120-ish price? More details inside! :D

    If you can get a pair to play with, that'd be the best way to decide but, in my case it wasn't possible, hence this thread. Now, compared to my EX-90 LP, this ones have a better sound in many ways but, the most noticeable way is that the sounds sound more...uh...separate? And thanks to that...

    Are Sony XBA-3 worth a 120-ish price? More details inside! :D

    I just bought them and...I LOVE THEM. Some obvious stuff aside (sound quality and build quality), the noise isolation is awesome, I won't need to carry my NC-33 with me anymore. I'm on a VW Beetle (the old one with a noisy engine) and, I cannot hear the engine! (I'm not the driver BTW). Even...
