    How to deal with volume in Android and on flights

    I knew it would be simple enough to find an app, but I figured maybe someone knew of a good one already (I over analyze everything), and I was already asking a the in-flight question, so I figured why not toss another one out there  .Thanks.

    How to deal with volume in Android and on flights

    Odd pairing of issues, I know. I have a pair of A161Ps (which I am really enjoying - burn-in made a HUGE difference). I am about to go on a trans-Atlantic flight, and from previous experiences would low impedance headphones, I know that the lowest volume setting on an in-flight entertainment...

    IEMs ~$130 for sub-par sources

    I must say I'm intrigued by the RE-400, I just wonder about the fit/comfort for my ears.   Can anyone just say whether it's a big concern to worry about source quality with this level of headphones?

    IEMs ~$130 for sub-par sources

    I'm looking for a new set of IEMs to use with my phone, laptop, and occassionally, my Sansa Clip. Here are the priorities: Comfort - I'm envisioning something like the Westone UM1, which is the most comfortable set I've owned (I used the tri-flanges modded to bi-flanges). Bullet style always...

    Been away for 2 years, now lost. Need IEMs up to $100

    Hi all,   I first came here about 10 years ago, been through the KSC-35s, 2 pairs of Westone UM1s, the NuForce NE-7ms, and most recently, Munitio Nines. The Nines won't stay in my ears anymore, which totally infuriates me. They weren't the greatest anyway, so reason to upgrade! I need...

    in-line mic or low profile, need by 12/17

    Thanks for the reply, audioslave. I have a full-face Shoei, so no way the Munitio work for riding. I wouldn't even be looking for music out of them, just isolation and ergonomics. Do you have any problem using them over-the-ear? No issue with mic placement doing that?   Anyone have an...

    in-line mic or low profile, need by 12/17

    Every time I think I'm done here, I come crawling back...   My NE-7M's came apart two days ago. I thought I was going to get something cheaper (<$100) because I lose or break all my phones (KSC-35, 2x UM1s, NE-7M), but obviously I still have the bug.   I primarily listen to all manner of...

    NE-7M's and static?

    I've had my IEM's for a few weeks, and they sound great. Enter the problem: At work, I have a rolling chair on a plastic mat. When I plug my headphones into my desktop speakers, if I lift my feet off the mat, it generates static noise in my headphones. At least I thought it was noise, until I...

    nothing special, IEM's under ~$70

    I got my NE-7M's yesterday! Initial impressions: isolation and fit with the stock tips were fine. I have some extra Comply's along with the extra included tips to try out to see if it gets better. Personally, I don't like foamies due to the grunge factor. Initially, they sounded a little...

    nothing special, IEM's under ~$70

    Yeah, that was one of the first reviews I read after the ne-7m was mentioned. If you can attest to the fit/comfort level, I'm totally sold. Heck, I'm about to press the "Buy" button as it is, but now that the RE2 has been thrown in the mix, I have slight pause. My only reference point for IEM's...

    nothing special, IEM's under ~$70

    someone has claimed the ne-7m's are the best set under $150. do others feel that way too? if so, i'll order myself some tomorrow. are there any contenders if I up my range to $100?

    nothing special, IEM's under ~$70

    never really looked into Ety's, I'll check them out. the ne-7m's seem too good to be true. they're described as "neutral". does that mean they're "cold" and "analytical" like some sets are, or is just meant at face value?

    nothing special, IEM's under ~$70

    Hey all. I'm looking for a new set of IEM's, but it seems like there are a ton of new entrants since I last looked. I listen to all forms of music, with near equal frequency. I need something for portable use to drown out the horrors that are conversations on public transit. I keep seeing...

    separate gym and main pmp

    I actually just bought a 2gb clip for $30 SanDisk Sansa Clip 2GB MP3 Player - dealnews.com Do you guys think I should wait for the new Zune for the price drop? I don't need that much space. And isn't the Zune tethered to the Zune software? I really want something that will function as a drag...

    separate gym and main pmp

    Hi all, This year, I have lost a Cowon X5L and D2 (and two pairs of UM1s). Yay for me. Anyways, after taking the middle ground with the D2, I've decided I should get separate players for the gym and everyday life. Both players need to have good codec support (I have a poor, mishmashed...

    DAP recommendation

    Yeah, it's gonna be too pricey at first. I've been reading a little about the Cowon D2, and that might be interesting. The SD slot would be key. Does anyone know if media on the SD card is fully integrated to the music library (unlike the Zen)? Also, I'm not sure if touchscreens are really worth...

    DAP recommendation

    Hey all, I had a X5L, which I loved, until I dropped it so many times the battery stopped working, the left channel on the headphone jack stopped working, and it was stolen (or I just plain lost it). Now, I would like to get a flash based player. I have a pair of UM1s that will be the...

    ~$100 IEMs

    I decided to just get the UM1's again because the fit is supposed to be among the best (I know I barely noticed they were in), and like I said, one of my main uses will be for exercising. Maybe if I had time to try out something else, but I needed these ASAP. I guess I'll just be back here when...

    ~$100 IEMs

    that's a bit over what i want to spend. i was all set to just get the UM1's again, but the more i read on this site, the more confused I get.

    ~$100 IEMs

    I love the quick replies, especially seeing how I need to make a decision in the next hour or so. I did do a ton of research to find the UM1s and they were great. Too bad I can't just go to a store and find them, even in NYC. If I bumped the price range to $150, anything significantly better...
