I never thought about pad wear and tear affecting sound but you're right!

I won't hold my breathe for much given the price point. Expect there to be some quality cuts.

I'd try Craigslist if your in an urban city. You could probably even make a profit on them.

I'm loving my Touch, but i dont think it excels as an audio player. I use it more for entertainment overall. I jailbroke it and use it as a pda/ internet browser/ podcast player/ moderate music player. I use my ZVM for my music collection but tag along the Touch because of all the things it can...

my super fi 3's aren't half bad. id recommend them.

you can use MediaMonkey if you don't like itunes.

sf3's with bass boost on my ZVM are pretty bassy, yet the bass lacks some extension and feel to it.

why don't you just buy a set of larger headphones, and enjoy the comfort and clarity. whats the point in buying stuff you know your going to return, its not like your going to keep them. headphones in most cases sound better than their IEM counterpart cost wise, so stick with headphones unless...

burn in helped me out a bit, side note, i use shure (black rubber tips) with my super fi 3's and personally think its better than super fi''s tips as i personally get a better fit. Question: Did you try the FS Mod, makes the sound a little better IMO.

pretty sure its the same thing, just a rename. i think they plan to rename their entire old lineup into the "SCL" name. i remember hearing that somewhere at least.

side question: what exactly are the superfi 3's good at? classical, rock,etc ???

alright super fi 3 it is. thanks all.

I can pick up a pair of Super fi 3 for 60 bucks on amazon , close to the price of the CX300's. Isolation wise i don't really mind, the more the isolation the better, but then again I rather they be comfortable than isolation. I'll just be using these on my walk to school and on the bus for...

hmm i have a fairly large head, but then again im a pretty big guy at around the height of 6'3, so well into proportion It seems that the SR80's are now in my favor On a side note, are there any worthy cheap earbuds for working out or travel that fit my listening needs. I'll order the...

they are on the UE site. http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimat...escription.php i think that the super fi 3 are better considering that they're only like 20-30 dollars more. You can get the 3's for like 70 bucks.

I'm not about to mod/recable the KSC75's i happen to like the lifetime warranty the way it is I think I'm going to order the MS1's tonight when i get back from work. Thanks for the input everyone

Do you guys think that the upgrade from KSC75 to like a SR80 to MS1 is worth it?

Hey guys, i listen to most all rock , including alternative, classic, and punk. Bands I listen to include, Alexisonfire, Coheed and Cambria, Anberlin, The Fall of Troy, Foo Fighters, Incubus, Zeppelin, Hendrix, etc. I have about $100 dollars to spend. I can maybe stretch it to $120-130ish. I...

u can find the X3's at jaben.net http://jaben.net/shopping.html

how do the Koss KSC75's compare to a Grado SR60? Is the sound quality diffrence worth it?

I'm not sure where to go from the KSC75. First i was looking at headphones then IEM's and I'm just lost. I have 100 dollars max to spend on either a headphone or IEM. I listen mainly to rock music including indie, alternative, screamo, easy, etc. The KSC75's are great but i feel they're lacking...

you can buy them on creatives site, they cost $69.99 so a bit more than what i claimed at $64. They come in 5 diffrent colors as well. Not too bad, but I'll probably wait until they reach stores to buy mine.

Hey all, I'm on a tight budget and can only spend a max of $100 dollars.The lower the price the better . I don't have an amp and run off of my ZVM:M and Iriver H10. I listen to 99% rock and have seriously been searching the net and head-fi for some suggestions. Obviously the phones that fall...

Just thought i'd let anyone out there looking for a small mp3 dap to check out the ZEN Stone Plus 2gb. Its new and isnt on the market just yet, but it sports a screen and has the same body as the original Zen Stone. Check out the link http://www.epizenter.net/news.php?extend.294 and...

lol, do drummers need good looking earphones? and a quick note: you don't want them to go really high as your gonna be killing your hearing. you should just care about isolation and sound quality
