Thanks .. yes I agree and I don't own a single wireless .... but the beats and wireless is kids trying to be in fashion. I do have lot of good wired headphones - AKG 1000, Stax, Audeze, Senn HD600s to name a few ... but wireless I do need help in some recommendation ... budget tops at 199...

Kids want to get this ... street price I believe is $199 ... any suggestions for this price point other wireless headphones that are generally considered better value?

Thanks again - will try that out.

Yes I think so and it is my fault for not having been clear.   The earbuds fall off and if I have to push them a little hard ... therefore the Denon earbuds that I have though I like the sound I don't end up using. The etymotic ones go into the ear pretty well but after some time I start...

  Thanks for the link - the Sennheiser clips seems to be a good idea - choose your IEH and add a clip!   The ones I owned - Koss, Shure, Etymotic and Denon ... all of them are pure IEH. I do understand that the ear hooks type will not offer a pure sound isolation but that is ok for me because...

In past I have tried couple of In-ear models but they just wouldn't fit right / fall off / or cause discomfort. So I have given up on IEH. I do own decent full size headphones like the Stax, AKG 1000 and couple of Sennheisers. But as you can see these are not some I can take with me during...

I bought the unit from Audiogon from Bill who was recommended on Head-Fi. Anyone else bought from him? Is that a US unit? Seemed to be a nice guy. Would really be very disappointed to find out that I got a non-US unit

Got mine yesterday. Boy it sure has great looks! I have started to listen to this baby using the versatile Senn HD-600. As soon as the sound started to flow in, I new that MP-5 had a unqiue characteristics. Source was my Jolida JD-100 Tube CD Player. I have heard my HD-600s either by...

Where can I get the MP-5 for a good price? I checked eBay and there are prices being quoted around $500. But seems people have bought in the range of $200 to $300.

After trying them for few more days, I have decided to abandon my quest for the IEM - sadly but I believe it is the correct decision. Seems they just don't fit me that well. Though I am still tempted to try out the Etymotics. One thing is that the EP-630 does have bass and they do sound good...

Thanks for the tip. I have been trying so much that it is hurting. I will try it tomorrow.

Thanks folks for all the replies. Quote: Originally Posted by nsjong I bet nothing's wrong with the earphones. It's you. Either that you never tried IEM's before and they're not for you or that you're a basshead. I think you are right. Some how they just don't seem to fit...

I certainly did try all the three tip sizes, but to no change in my impression. Quote: but you did squish the earpiece into your canal right? Well I think I did. Maybe I can confirm by asking a question - if you had a conversation going on between two other people and you had...

Just got the Creative EP-630's and they are sounding so awful! There is absolutely no bass, they sound so bright and the worst - they don't feel comfortable. The bass is so weak for the ep-630's that in comparison my AKG-1000 sounds like sub-woofer. I tried all the three fittings that are...

Aren't the PX100 'open' design? iIf so, then listening at work (open cubicle), someone could possibly raise objection. Oski - your idea is good, I should have been a little explicit what I meant by 'in-ear'. Actually I meant the ear-buds type. It seems the choices are the Audio Technica...

Yesterday got myself a mini-ipod. Which headphones go well with the iPod? I am planning to use the combination at work so the 'Open' type could be a problem. Since I also intend to use these for travel purpose, headphones needing an amp would be somewhat impracticable. Finally, I don't like the...

It seems to be a project that someone is trying at crowthornetubes.com It is mentioned that the amp seems to have a problem in the lower frequencies (as I interpreted it). I searched the web but couldn't find much information on these monster tubes.

Link to the silver version doesn't work

For now I have decided to go for Stax SR 404 + SRM 313 driver. But I will in very near future get the AKG's. I certainly don't intend to spend more than the cost of the AKG 1000 for the amp. I am even thinking to pair with a used Pass Labs solid state amp. Long back I use to own a pass labs...

It's Franz from thetunerguy.com He is advertising on Audiogon. There was one used on Audiogon just two - three days back if you are interested - around $400 obo. If you do happen to buy them, please let us know your opinion of the amp. Happy listening!

Here is a picture of the Philips - they look beautiful. But remember beauty is just skin deep, they say ... ---------------------------------------------------------- unrelated to the topic under discussion. How do I paste an image that it shows up as a part of the message? Now it shows...

Ogrejelly - I am not a lover of bass at all and therefore I prefer phones like the AKG1000 and Stax. The reason I like Senn 600's is because they are balanced and cover the entire spectrum pretty well - the bass in the Senn's/MGHead is to my liking, anything more and I would discard them. I will...

I own this combo and simply love it. I love the sound of string instruments - guitar, mandolin, sitar, violin and the vocals coming out of this combo. Bass is decent too. You may want to do some tube rolling as lot of people have observed that the stock tubes don't sound as well. I bought...

... the reason for attraction was the various impendance settings you could have - bascially didn't want to have amps for the different headphones that I have / intend to collect. Unless of course my understanding that impedance matching isn't really that important, is incorrect. See, I have an...
