Quote: It was stated in the deal thread (here, #8 & #9) that these IEM's on sale at Amazon are NOT the same ones listed in that thread.  I know these have a mic but how else do they differ? Or do they and am I just confused?

oooh V-Moda Vibe Earbud Headphones with iPhone Compatibile Jack - Chrome and Black in Corded Headphones at JR.com Thanks for that one! So far the best looks for the dough imho. Now to the meat, how do they sound? i'll do some searching around. These might be just what I want

Okay so after some looking it looks like the DENON C751's have it as of now. Its going to be a couple more weeks before I buy anything but if B&H's prices stick where they are on them the black ones are 105.00 +8.00 shipping. While the silver ones sure do look good they are 23.00 more so i'll...

Well, I'd like to say there's no budget concern here but we're talking IEM and Clip-style headphones so it shouldn't be too expensive. I'd really like to keep it under 50.00 but 100.00 is absolute max Anyways, the problem i'm trying to solve is that while at work (engineering firm. think cube...

ouch >.< Maybe something more built for a desk unit then? I don't wanna be stuck with a dead unit off of e-bay so for now I really would like to stick with current models only -.- I imagine this really does limit my selection but how about something like this thing here...

Okay, This is the "Portable Audio" Section right? Well, I've got a girlfriend with the seemingly meager need of having something to listen to while at work. She is allowed to have a radio/CD player on her desk at an *ahem* "reasonable volume" but absolutely cannot use headphones while at...

So, in cleaning out my parents basement, I found my dad's old pair of headphones. I think he bought them in his twenties or thirties, probably 25+ years ago. I just plugged them in and they sound pretty damn good. (I don't have a trianed ear per se, but they don't sound bad) Except for two...

Thanks for this thread. I'm going to be getting a pair of DT-880's soon, been kicking the idea of AT-900's around, but its comments like these, that make me sway towards the 880's.

bpr323: Thanks for your input. I definatley will be getting an amp, and don't mind doing so. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the AT-900's though. The main reason i'm leaning towards the DT-880's at the moment is that they seem like a pair of headphones that will "grow" with my choices...

I just say never buy from anyone with zero feedback. period. Sure, someone has got to be that first bider, but it won't be me.

alrighty. So the DAC is part of the soundcard. I suppose that makes sense. Anyone have any experience with DT880's or AT-900 and USB cards?

Sorry, I wanna be sure i've got this straight here though. A DAC as I know it is a Digital audio converter, something that converts audio into a format that can be read by multiple speakers (ie, 5.1, 7.1 etc...) IS there a reason I should get onne with a pair of headphones? (i'm going...

I can't tel with 100% certainty, but from these photos: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardw...deo-ipod.ars/6 It appers that the HDD is directly under the click wheel. I believe that what you're hearing isn't what most people hear when the HDD starts to go bad, its just the actual movement...

Hey, Thanks. What Do you mainly use your DT-880's for? -- As to "overkill" I'd think that movie SQ ought to be pretty high, esp with a DVD, not MP3 audio or anything. And I'd rather it be a slight overkill, than too much underkill. Right now i'm only looking at approx $100-$150 difference...

Been here before? In a hurry? Read the bold print. Hardbop: thanks for that info, thats a major difference I wasn't taking into account. I haven't ever used open phones, but think that they may be just the key I need when playing games, as I often have to play with one ear off to hear my...

AARRRGH Anyone have any input to swing me towards spending the extra green on the DT-880's and an amp, as opposed to my original decision of the AT-900's? I have read that the build quality on both sets of headphones is exceptional. I plan on using them with a USB audio device of some sort...

Thanks for your input. Sounds like i'm down to just two now then.. the M-Audio Audiophile USB or the Bit head... as the Headroom micro is outta my price range at the moment..

Thanks for the input. Is there anyone who can compare the two? Or just know if the transit is worth the price difference? assuming i'm not going to be using any of its recording/digital audio features? (yet... digital reciver/MD player may be in my future)

Hello all, This isn't my first time here at headfi, but i've finally decided to become registered and ask for some input from you all. Currently I use my Dell inspiron 9300 to play games with a pair of sony MDR-V600's I really enjoy these, but have just been looking for something more. I...

can you elaborate when you say it doesn't quite have the one click media access that the ipod does? I've not used the new ipod yet, nor this zen vision, so any extra info would be great!
