Hi, I've had a pair of hf2s for the past year or so, but I've recently noticed that the rubber on the cord is splitting. Firstly, will Etymotic accept this as a warranty repair? Secondly, what is their turnaround time?   Also, and perhaps most importantly, what should I buy to use while...

Just bought myself an iPhone 3G pay-as-you-go for £390. Definitely a good investment. Without unlocking it, the PAYG contract gives free broadband for a year. Or I can just unlock it and take it to another country (which is what I'm doing).

First off, I'm the owner of JVC Marshmallows (now broken after 2 years) and a pair of grado sr80s. Both of these headphones were great for me. I might even buy another set of marshmallows if I can find them in London. So I'm going to be in London on Saturday morning, and I have a few hours to...

count yourself lucky that it isn't too sensitive. I once had a model that kept pausing on me as the headphone cable moved in my pocket. I eventually convinced the Apple store guy to give me a new one

Well personally I've found that it isn't so much the type of battery, but more the percentage charge remaining that makes all the difference. I find that somewhere in the region of 15-30% charge gives the best overall sound. Fully charged batts come over all boomy at the bass end, and kinda...

Well I got my orange 2G Shuffle without reading any reviews, because I decided that it's what I wanted for exercise and easy syncing with my pre-existing iTunes library. Until just now I'd only been using it for that task, and no critical listening, but I thought I'd come here to check out what...

hehe, pointless but nice addition to iTunes: iTunes will give you cover art for free if you are missing cover art edit: hehe, beat ya devin! i'm just a bit excited with the "back to school" promotion still being on and me needing a macbook... and now i'll be able to get a worthwhile iPod...

new shuffles too! Even smaller?! Heck, they were almost too small to begin with! Apple's share price is gonna rise today...
