    Rock and Roll HOF special. Anyone watch it?

    Just catching up with the HBO special of the Rock N Roll HOF special on the HD Tivo with DD 5.1, and it's very entertaining. Skipped over Dion, but some very good stuff. And I think Ozzie had some work done. He definitely lost weight for the occasion. Kinda looked very fem. On the U2/Springsteen...

    Sony X 1061 (32GB) for $291 shipped

    Not sure if it's by design (Cyber Monday and all that) or Sony screwed up, but U.S. shoppers who want the 32GB X for $269 can get it at Sonystyle.com. With sales tax, the price is actually $291, which is still an excellent price. If it is a mistake (it was still in effect as of 2:40p EST), I...

    End of digital files on iPhone/Touch?

    Doubtful, as the SQ of these files sound dubious at best. But it is an interesting concept. Music service Lala heralds MP3-killing iPhone app - USATODAY.com

    Are my ears deceiving me?

    I posted on this elsewhere (im616 sale thread), and it's no big deal, but it is interesting. I recently got a pair of UM56 custom sleeves for my UM3X, and it's a great combo. But as it turns out, the UM3X also work very, very well with two other much less expensive IEMs, the Klipsch Image S4s...

    Sony S review on CNET

    Not that CNET reviews are much, but even she says the S Series is not worth an upgrade. Good price if you want a new Sony, I guess. And it knocks my Sony (A818) and other older models out of the box in terms of resale value. $109 for 8GB Sony is cheap, and $129 for 16GB is even better. But the...

    Anyone ever hear both the Westone UM3X and the JH5 Pro?

    I own the Westones, and love them. But want to know if anyone has heard both the UM3X and the JH5 Pro. Before taking the custom plunge, I wondered how different the sound sigs might be. I already know getting the higher level JH models would be a step up. Just wondering about the 5s since they...

    In Search of ADDIEM replacement filters, or why I hate Apple

    A cautionary tale ... do not lose the filters on your ADDIEMs (they can become unscrewed and fall out with the tips still on them). It happened to my teenage daughter, who is not too nice to her phones, and this is the result. The Apple In-Ear Dual Driver phones have little silver/metal...

    What I did on my summer vacation ...

    Decided to sell the Westone 3s (tired of using the tri-flanges and EQing them), and buy the UM3X. Smart move, I believe. After some extended listening, I prefer the more neutral sound sig of the 3X, though I will miss the W3s. If I could have afforded both, I would have kept both. The UM3X...

    Weird Westone 3 + Fuze issue

    So today a new Fuze arrived (8GB) and after loading it with tracks, I got out the Westone 3s and plugged them in. Problem is, when the plug is inserted all the way in, the DAP makes a weird e-clicking sound. If I pull the plug lightly, away from the hole, the music plays. But, if I touch it...

    Amp3 is both a DAP and an amp

    Since no one has posted here about it, there is an intriguing new amp (and a music player as well) on the market. It's called the Amp3 (from a Chinese maker name HiAudio). I own one, and use it primarily as a DAP. But today, I tried it out with my Touch 2G and LOD, and I think it rivals my...

    Another new interesting pair in the mid-fi price range

    Well, I once owned the Creative Aurvana in-ear phones (in another life, it seems). Didn't care much for them. Now, Creative has unleashed some new phones, and some hype-filled copywriting. Who will be the first to try them? Not me, not right now. They look like the B&O phones. Creative's past...

    Image X10 (re) appreciation thread

    I owe Klipsch an apology. Not really, but I am doing a flip-flop on their Image X10 dynamic phones. During my search for a pair of keeper dynamic IEMs for my collection, I tried the IE8 (just not my preference, though very nice IEMs), and now the IE7 (and my thinking was? Not sure. They were...

    Some IEM reviews

    Just got this via email (free subscription), and there are reviews of the NuForce phones (7s and 8s), as well as the Icon Mobile amp. Plus, on pages 146-147, some PDF links to Playback's reviews of other IEMs and canal phones. Problem is, they seem to give every piece of gear a very positive...

    Anyone have an interesting stand for their IEMs?

    This Buddha seems happy to hold the phone(s). The left hand has the PFEs, IE8s, W3s, X10s and Turbines. Right hand, assorted cables for DAPs. A keepsake from my grandparents that now has dual functionality.

    Phonak Audeo (PFE) Thread

    I realize there is another very long thread out there on the Phonak PFEs, but I figured it would be good to start a thread wherein PFE owners and curious Head-Fi'ers could come to post or read about this great value in quality sound (no, that's not from the marketing brochure). Thanks to...
