    In-ear adventures ... The more info, the harder it gets :) Advice, anyone?

    "Welcome to Head-Fi Xstream!  Sorry about your wallet."   You've made some fine choices already in the IEM market.  Yes, I understand there are lots of choices in the market now for IEM phones.  However, you will never know which one is perfect for you until YOU actually listen to them.  ...

    The All New Earsonics SM3 Appreciation, Discussion and Review Thread!

    Quote:   I just received the Sensorcoms this week and IMHO they are far better than the stock double flange silicon tips Earsonics supplies.  They really open the high end and are super comfortable and easy to seal.  I'm really enjoying listening to the combo with a iBasso D10.  HIGHLY...

    The All New Earsonics SM3 Appreciation, Discussion and Review Thread!

    After 10 years of Etymotic ownership, I impulse ordered these (should have never peeked back here) and just received them today.   First impressions: The sound is exactly what I was hoping for.  Excellent soundstage, impact, just enough detail, but most importantly, they make the music I...

    Excellent Customer Service

    Just want to drop a quick thread over here and post my experience with Head-Direct. I ordered some PK3 headphones back in the beginning of October and they were promptly shipped the next business day. However, for some unknown reason, the USPS lost my package and I felt as though I got...

    iPod Touch or Zune HD?

    Get the Zune if you: 1) Love eye candy interfaces - the UI on the zune IMHO trumps the Touch experience and any other PMP interface. It makes me go "wow". 2) Love the Zune PC Client - you can ONLY use the Zune PC client to manage your music, videos, etc. - test it out before hand and see for...

    ZuneHD...so does it sound good?

    Zune HD’s UI: the full tour This is probably one of the best zune video UI demonstrations I have seen on the net. I can't wait til my 32GB pre-order from Dell arrives tomorrow to listen to KEXP on HD!

    The Zune is Dead, Long Live the Zune HD

    Quote: So my question to you all is, what good is an "hd" player that doesnt play hd videos? Because this new zune cant play HD, it only outs to HD, and possibly records it later if new equipment comes out for it. The screen cannot support hd video. I believe it's because the size of...

    iPod Killers... Please suggest/review

    OT: I couldn't help but laugh on the floor when I saw Chumley posted what I pm'd . Asking for sympathy are we? Too bad nobody wants to give you any because anyone who would have read this thread would have come to the same conclusion as I have. :runs away with the last laugh:

    iPod Killers... Please suggest/review

    OT: Quote: OK, raynman, here's the deal: that 'snarky' comment you cite of mine is a * JOKE *... the latter part, anyway... that's why I put the smiley there. Eh, of course I understood it was a joke. While it may have been a "funny" joke to you, it came across to me and I am sure...

    iPod Killers... Please suggest/review

    Always intresting to read these kind of debates Just my thoughts: To the original poster - No matter how prepared you are in paper and all the research you do over the net, actually having the chance to play with and use the device on a daily basis is the only way to decide if the player...

    Looks like the new Sony NW-HD1 player does support mp3...

    Would this be a good buy for someone who owns tons of MD's? I have a cuz who has everything Sony (even Sony stock ) and he is really excited to get this. This product actually blows my mind...the looks and features wise seem outstanding...well except for the part of the ATRAC conversion...

    if the iPod is $100 cheaper would you pick it over the iHP-120?

    Blah, another slugfest I'd just like to counterpoint this statement of "When I say 'easy', I mean no manual required. Ever." Please do yourself a favor and do a search on ipodlounge or better yet stay in touch with the forums there and tell me how many new users are asking for help...

    Colleges... doing a week tour with my dad

    Another plug for your local UW. I'm currently a sophmore and a pre-computer science undergrad. UW actually has a top 5 in computer science/ee program and sometimes besting even the top engineering schools in some published rankings. The new Paul Allen building is awesome to say the least and...

    Why I am miffed at the iPod

    Quote: you think that joystick'ed piece of plastic is better... Ugh. I honestly can't stand this remark. You wonder why iPod owners get so defensive about people who bash the iPod due to their "disadvantages" yet you see some of them making statements like the one's above. Go figure...

    iRiver or iPod

    Well said myself, aka me. None of the posters who recommended the iHP ever said anything to the likes of "iPod sucks" to be branded iPod bashers. People have choices and preferences. You can't make everyone always agree with yours.

    iHP 120 review by a former iPod owner

    If there was one thing I missed from the iHP it was the ability to que up songs while listening as GSTOM mentioned. My original creative jukebox had this feature and it was excellent. I prefer this play method over creating playlists that are saved because those playlists get old real fast. My...

    iHP-120 don't waste your money please!

    SpoonMan, Please put a #@&ing sock in your mouth will you? Your post was only made to insurge a flame bait war and was highly uncalled for. Explain to me then what is the difference when a negative thing is said about the iPod and you come in to save the day? Tell me, do find yourself...

    iHP-120 menu and navigation controls

    "On mine the joystick makes a pretty loud "click" sound when you press it. Moving it left/right/up/down is silent, as are the other buttons on the unit and all the controls on the remote are also silent." Hmmm...excuse my "analness" but I just wanted to verify this. Moving the joystick...

    iHP-120 don't waste your money please!

    hehehe Sorry if I confused you Jazz and Rizumu...i'm at work and time is of the essence. (well sometimes ) The very first time you heard the iHP you initally thought it sounded pretty close to your iFP correct? You thought the sound was okay? The second time you heard the iHP you...

    iHP-120 don't waste your money please!

    I smell a stinky fish. Being the first to own the iHP 100 and post my initial impressions, I really don't hear where you are hearing this "terrible sound". Perhaps you need an ear cleaning? I use the Ety's with my iHP and have found that the sound is of opposite as to what you write...

    iHP-100 new firmware out! (OGG)

    iHP user reporting: Good news and not so good news about this firmware: Good 1.) OGG implementation. It works. I have actually ripped a *selection* of my favorite songs in OGG. The sound is indeed impressive even when I ripped at 128kbps. Sounded close to 192 ripped Mp3's IMO. 2) Faster...

    The iHP vs. iPod Poll!

    Well having had to opportunity to use both, here are my reasons: I bought my iHP because I am by no means a music junkie. I have only 5 GB of music on my computer. After using the iPod 2G for 3 months for use in school and on commute, I quickly realized the remote on the iPod was extremely...
