It seems the contenders areShure e2g Westone UM1 Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio Etymotic ER6i Notice that I did not mention the sony ex71s. They are worthless; this is a fact. Headphonereviews was pretty useless for this. All but the UEsfi3s (which were not reviewed) recieved ratings...

I picked up a cheap pair of broken CD200s, cheap because the right side is dead. This isn't all too uncommon in sony products, as the audio goes in on the left and goes through a wild course to the other side. I openend and unscrewed the headphones, but could find nothing wrong with the wiring...

Archos G-Mini, Ipod Mini, Zen Micro, and a slew of other products offering rougly the same things. Where can i find a nice comparison? Maybe a site with reviews of various models, or even better- One large article comparing many. thanks

Going off to school, so I need a slightly altered setup. My requirements: 1. Not much leakage (roomate) 2. Good containment 3. Comfort 4. neutrality 5. Street price of around $200 Thanks! I was thinking about some shure/etys, but I dont know how comfortable they are for...

Simple order. Just something to wear around town. ety/shures may be too isolated for this (I walk alot for pleasure). So, what will fit the bill? I have never tried isolation earbuds, so they may be perfect. Actually, around $70 would be even better. These are just for portable use, and I will...

EDIT: So now it is just clicking and hissing, and turning off. Can't updatefirmware; it just doesnt get picked up by my computer. I sent a message to rio, hopefully they can fix Some of you may remember my broken karma. It just kinda didnt work, so I went without a dap for a while, and got...

And it has been broken for a long time. It was broken before, and I used the infamous "bash it against somethign real hard" method, which actually worked. Too bad it just died again shortly thereafter, never to return... So what can I do? can I send it somewhere to be repaired? it is no...

Something in the back of my mind tells me that there is no major difference between the two, but I may just be going dumb... The 2ks are on sale somewhere secret for $160 shipped so i really wanna know if they are worth it, because my v6s died recently. Anyway, tell me what I want to...

Does the Xtra have any advantages on the jukebox? Jukebox has line-out, which is invaluable, but I'm curious... Thanks

saw these for sale, but there was no better pic... what kind of beyer are these? While i'm at it, are they any good?

so we have the 770s, the 770 pros, 770 pro 250ohm version, 880, 880 pro. So, like, what is the difference? Is this list missing anything significant? I was away from head-fi for a while... thanks

I'd have to say the Rio Karma. line out + amp + flac= superior to ipod with AL and amp

From what I remember, the CD2k is cheaper but better than the CD3k. Where does the 1.7k fall into this? are there more CD headphones? what is up with them?? thanks

If I try to start it up normally, it just shows the loading screen for a looong time and shuts off. If I boot into service mode, it throws me an hdd error. I do not think there is a way to fix this myself, so what do I do? Will it be cheaper to sell this broken and buy one on ebay? Or can I...

i need testimonials! people, i am too hawt for the forum search feature, and this will be a good place to gather and mesh all items from all of those carious threads

dap review has not been updated for a long time... the comparisons, anyway. and, when is the rio pearl? jeez

this thing is hot! all black, and sleek, i must have! so, what is the word?

its only $400, and it plays stuff, so why not? i am thinking abuot buying it....

i really dig stuff thats in different lagnuages other than english. stuff like Sigur Ros, or Jennifer Charles & Oren Bloedow. just recommend, and possibly link to some mp3s... thanks! /edit: just like 20 second song demos or something... things that the record companies have...

damn, theyre nice. as far as general quality goes, i prefer my eggo d66s *a bit*, but these have 10 times the soundstage, more bass, and they really sound wonderful of course, the pads they come with totally blow. they really are too thin. soooooo, where can i get beyer pads? someone...

i was *this* close to getting a 60gb zen, and i was browsing ebay just in case they had any, and for no reason i clicked on the apple tab, and bought myself a 10gb ipod. $165 +$9 shipping, oh yeah. it was sent today, and will arrive sometime within the next 6-8 weeks ( actually it should arrive...

i dig globe... of course, i heard of them on the closing theme to an anime... android 009. the closing song is genesis of next, and i totally love it. so, whats good, and where does one get this stuff?

i think the ******* bid $230 or something... i had a max bid of $210, which i was feeling was rediculously high, and i would shoot myself it got that high. luckily, it was steady at $177, with less than a minute left, then i refresh and there it is: pauly 1975 is the winner. they may be...

you heard teh title! or read, anyway... I wanna get a revo, but if i can have good audio on my lappy, that would totally rock. i cuold just switch between computers with the usb one, and considering that i have 6 computers, this may be helpful

its only $400 retail, so i will buy it if my next paycheck allows... hehe anyway, what is the difference between the two zen players? im off to sleep now, but i will check this thread in the afternoon when i wake.
