How do you guys go about it? In my experience when inputting a volume controlled device (iPhone) into a separately controlled device (ie car stereo) the volume of the former is very important. Are any portable amps able to receive a "digital" signal (possibly the incorrect terminology) that is...

I tried the UE6000s and 9000s and was thoroughly unimpressed with the noise cancelling. As Lorspeaker said, its non existent. I'd prefer they dropped the price by $50 or whatever and removed it. The amp circuitry is fine, but just keep it passively isolated.

Don't know if I'm breaking any rules, but costcentral.com has some great prices on all models of MDR1Rs. Just picked up a pair of bluetooths for $245 shipped. The price seems too good, so I did some research about the site and everything came back legit. I intend to take them to a Sony store to...

      I reposted this from a different thread I started. Didn't know this one was available.   Hope you can help me narrow down my potential picks as well as refine my thoughts. I'm a student so noise cancellation (active or passive) and minimal leakage are of importance. I also...

I'm inclined to agree with you. Only variable I've added recently is the MDR1R. I tried it at the Sony store and was tremendously impressed. Quality bass and good NC/isolation. Any reason I should reconsider them? I don't mean to flip flop, I just want to make the most informed decision.

Quote: +1   Just tried them today in the Sony store. Very good active noise cancellation, nearly as good as Bose. But the overall sound is muddled and murky when active NC is engaged.   They look great too.

I would say I'm partial to noise cancellation, passive or active. Perhaps the effectiveness of active, but I don't the like the idea of sacrificing quality to achieve it. That's kind of my logic with the UE's, they have good sound passively.

TSU, and everyone else, what's your take on S-Logic? Obviously it ultimately comes down to me, but I know it's a very polarizing subject on the board. After reading some reviews, I'm looking towards the 580 right now. How might they differ from the UE6000s?

Thanks Red. I do love my TF10s, but I'm looking for an over-ear that's easily removed to speak to people. I'm in engineering school and it gets old pulling the TF10s in the lab to answer a yes/no question. Then the 'chore' of putting them back in to get the perfect seal. TSU, without asking...

Hope you can help me narrow down my potential picks as well as refine my thoughts. I'm a student so noise cancellation (active or passive) and minimal leakage are of importance. I also appreciate bass, but I'm not a basshead. Currently I have a set of TripleFi 10's that I'm in love with; they're...
