    $18 JVC Marshmallow better than $140 Phonak Audeo PFE - how/why??!?!?!?

    Ok... so I've been on here periodically asking about recommendations for headphones to buy. For a while I had been using the Panasonic RP-HT355, but those were apparently being discontinued if I remember correctly, and I wanted better quality, more durable, better sounding/isolating, etc...

    Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to mourn the untimely demise of...

    ...the left side audio channel and the cables of my Phonak Audeo PFEs. I had only had them 3 months and had expected them to last 15 years. Quick review / rating, IMO: overall sound quality - quite good compared to cheaper ones I've used. (I haven't listened for any length of time with...

    About to get Phonak Audio PFE...

    Ok I'm about to pull the trigger on the Phonak Audeo PFEs, but before I do... I just want to be sure I won't regret getting the Etyomtic HF5s instead. How do they compare for durability, isolation & sound quality? Also, due to durability concerns, I want to not regret buying these, having...

    looking @ earbuds/ECH ~$50...

    Hi guys. I'm looking to upgrade from the cheap headphones that came with my portable player (and a couple other cheapies I've had). Several have bit the dust all within the past year, and another one (the one that came with my Creative ZEN, which btw has a broken LCD and I want to replace it...

    something better than Pany RP-HT355? $25-250 depending on when I buy

    First... a note about the very wide price range... If I buy within the next few weeks, $25 (or maybe $35) would be top price. If I don't buy something till November/December, I'm looking at $200-250 or so then. Hopefully my 1 or 2 pairs of $0.01 earbuds I have left (the other 3 or 4 are now...

    headband for RP-HT355 Panasonic?

    Does anyone know where/if I could get a replacement headband for my Panasonic RP-HT355 headphones? Right now I'm using a Sennheiser MX400 earbud. Pros: good sound. Cons: don't fit my ear, cord is WAY too short. Sometime I'd like to get some better headphones, but right now I can't afford...

    mini speaker for IFP-899? DIY or buy?

    Hi all. I'd like a speaker for my IFP-899. Attached is a picture of how I want to attach it to the IFP-899, and the approximate size I want it to be. this is a picture of a Pogo RipFlash Plus, my first flash-based MP3 player, which had a built-in speaker (it's above the display). My IFP-899...

    now that I am getting an iRiver 899... (cheap, tiny, low-med qual external speaker??)

    it doesn't have a built-in speaker (something I am willing to deal with). Is there a small speaker I can get (or I'd be willing to make one with parts if there otherwise isn't anything available)? The ipod speaker is too big and expensive, and I'm not necessarily looking for stadium-shaking...

    might get iriver 799 or 899, any better 1's 4 the price??

    I temporarily bought a 799 one to test it out, and so far I like it. Now, I need to take it back otherwise I'll be in the hole for $$ (unless I can find a way to not be in the hole...) then probably buy one on ebay (to get a good deal although $180 incl tax at Circuit City didn't look all that...

    good mp3/cd player for a friend?

    I have a couple friends (husband & wife - grandparents (don't remember their age but grandkids range in age from babies to teens)) who are looking for a good mp3 CD player. I have a Sony D-NS921F that has so far served me very well, but it's not for sale, and I think it'd be nice (unless we can...

    suggest a flash mp3 player/recorder?

    I like everything about the iRiver ifp- 895, 899, 795, or 799, EXCEPT: I want to be able to use windows explorer to transfer files to/from the device (also I want to be able to upload mp3's from the device.) I want expandable memory. (I also don't need a super compact player - I saw pics of...

    max budget of $120-150 incl. Senn HD-280...

    or should I choose a different headphone? (it's not isolating enough and the low bass (30 Hz and lower) just isn't strong enough for me. I don't want a canal phone though) If I get an amp with that phone, I want... one that runs on AA or AAA batteries (preferably at least 8 to 10 hours of...

    good flash-based (or durable HD) player with mp3 encoding?

    I'm looking to replace a Pogo RipFlash+ (256MB) mp3 player/recorder. I would like: at least 512MB or 1GB storage direct mp3 encoding (preferably at least as flexible and good as as the LAME 3.9x codec) via line-in (also I'd use a built-in mic IF it's decent quality) also direct ogg vorbis...

    Good < $100-125 phones? (isolation, sound, portable use, etc)

    First, my maximum budget is $100 to $150. (I may be waiting a while (probably a few to several months) to purchase, though. If something happens to the cheapies I currently have now, I might need to spend up to $25 on something in an emergency.) Many things I will be listening to (in random...

    good phones for ~ $100-150 (tops)?

    I would like sealed cans (I may be willing to try in-ear but I want to be able to try it to make sure it seals well, is comfortable, and sounds good (for the price I'm willing to pay).) if possible, for maximum possible isolation from outside sound. Also I would like something that has a fairly...

    need replacement cheap phones for < $10....

    the pair that came with my Sony D-NS921F had served me quite well but it is now only working in one ear. The earbuds that came with my Pogo RipFlash Plus are very uncomfortable (and have pretty much no bass response unless I turn on the bass boost on my AM radio), so I need to get another pair...

    anyone know about Pogo RipFlash Plus?

    I got some recorded mp3s on mine that I need to download, but apparently the file allocation table (or at least I suspect that) is corrupt. The RF+ doesn't show any songs on there, but it shows 210MB of 256MB memory used. Does anyone know how to get a raw memory dump from a USB device? The...

    good units for $120 to $160?

    I'd like: wide frequency response - my hearing only goes up to 16KHz, but I do want a crisp, clear high treble, and a punchy low bass (under 40 Hz). For an example of what frequencies of low bass I'm talking about, listen to this short clip of a Bosendorfer Imperial grand piano (11KHz mono...

    good voice/music/mp3 recorder for < $60-85?

    I'm looking into getting a mp3 voice recorder (maybe HD, but probably flash based) so that I can record some things, like live music, for my own personal enjoyment. I really would like to get something like an Archos Jukebox, Creative Nomad Jukebox, Ipod, or other similar device, but I don't...

    looking 4 closed phones under $100-150 with good all-round sound

    Ok... I would like to get a pair of cans soon in the $100 to $150 range, max. I would like the following: closed phones so I don't have to crank them up so loud in semi-noisy environments (using weed eaters & lawn mowers, occasionally, riding in a car, etc)... I currently max pretty much any...
