That's quite a list. Which is the best one for under $100? I will be using it exclusively for TV shows and movies.

  Something like that, but doesn't hang on the neck, I need regular length cable that goes to my jean pocket. My job requires that I lift packages and move around a lot so I want something that doesn't tug. I'm currently using a Senn CX300; it works reasonably well but I have to adjust it a...

My job involves moving a lot of packages around. I can't use regular earphones since they regularly get tugged on; asymmetrical ones don't work much better. I just need something that is comfortable. Budget of ~30, anything like that out there?

My Senn Cx300 died, and I know ebay is full of fakes for those? What about other IEMs? I'm eyeing the V-moda vibes and the prices seem too good to be true, but I haven't heard much fakes of that brand. Any opinions?

So I found this site through google checkout: Sennheiser RS170 Kleer wireless headphones with surround simulation and bass boost Your Price: $177.11 - AValive.com - 1-866-93PRO-AV (937-7628) Has anyone used or heard of them? The 170 is $177 + $15 shipping. Don't know if I should risk it.

I'm dying for a comparison between these 3 headphones. What I really want to know is if the Surround Sound on the 170 is worth it.

I have a HD 280 pro and my ears start to hurt after a few hours of using it. It also makes a dent on my hair too, which sucks. Will the 600/650 be more comfortable?

I have a Senn 280 pro with hundreds of hours of burn in. Recently I've been doing some blind ABX testing. For all the songs I couldn't hear the difference between 128kb and 320kb. The only exception was a 192kb vs lossless file, where I could hear some static in the 192kb version. I always...

I think I can go a little higher with the budget. I was looking at the Little Dot II+; will that do what I want? As for the splitter, would that make the speaker and headphone output at the same time?

Anyone?

I have a HT Omega Striker soundcard and a Sennheiser 280 Pro. It needs to have outputs for speaker and headphone so I can easily switch between the two. I'm under the impression that all amps do this? This is the main reason why I want one. I have a budget of <$100.

It's listed at $20 at the official site which is more than what I'm willing to spend. So I found this on ebay, anyone know if it'll work? Click

Just figured out my mobo only has one pci-e slot so I'll go with the HT Omega Striker.

I'll use it mostly for music and some movies so it needs to do 5.1. I play little to no games so that's not really a factor. Suggestions?

I'm looking for a sound card where I can have both the speaker and headphone can be plugged in at the same time. I think the Audigy 2 has a software setting where you can switch between output to speakers or headphone. I want this to eliminate the hassle of plugging/unplugging the headphone...

I just prefer asymmetrical cords. It's easier to take out and put away.

Sorry but to be even more specific, any that are J style? My last question I swear.

Any that are ~$100?

I just realized the sound leakage on the cx300 isn't all that great. I can turn the volume low and still hear it. What are some IEMs that's barely audible to other people?

Quick question: are these Y style or J style?
