Maybe this is a dumb question, but I've been wanting wireless earbuds for a long time, but every time I look for some they seem to be IEMs only. However recently I found out about bluetooth mmcx connector cables and earbuds that support this option, however I'm seeing some info which says some...

Any idea where to get the BE5's? They always seem to be out of stock on the blox website which seems to be the only place to buy them, can't even get the BE3's anymore, glad I have a pair, but worried about when they die.

  By big step, I'm guessing you mean big step down in terms of quality? Do the Baldoor E100's fall on anyone's radar? They also seem pretty popular, but it looks like they have volume controls built into the cable, and I can't really tell if they are necessarily good as well, or also just hyped...

Not sure who is voting the tingo croons tg-38s to the top, but the ones I got sound like garbage, I don't think I've come across many that sounded worse aside from stock earbuds that come with audio devices. Even a $10-$20 pair of brand name buds bought at a retail store at ridiculous markup...

So the BE3 should sound a lot like the ES100 since they use the same drivers, just different housings?   I ask because I have a Yuin OK3 and used to have the PK3's before that. I love my OK3's, but want a pair to regularly bring to work and a pair for home, and looking for something as good or...

I have these 2 old record players from some older friends. They were stored in a garage and weren't selling at garage sales. I cleaned them off, and though the dust covers have some scratches and there's some minor rust on the medal outside the dust cover, aside from the bodies. On the SL-5200...

1. A portable amp with no DAC could take in any analog line out signal from any portable or not so portable source that can output a line out signal. 2. With the DAC you can use the amp with your computer and bypass all of the computer's internal audio hardware, bypassing the amp and dac in...

I am aware of the differences, and different options for the most part. I know that I need a iPod touch 2/3g compatible cable as I have a 2g touch and some of the pins require resistors or something like that. However I still wonder if it is possible to have a low profile plug with the...

I have been in the market for a nice new setup for a while now and finally decided on a pair of headphones (Sennheiser HD595's) and a portable amp (most likely iBasso D4). However I still need an LOD for my 2nd gen ipod touch, and can't seem to find anything i really like. I see the things on...

How long does she wear headphones for at a time? is comfort also one of the variables you are considering here? Also I can't say too much on the open vs closed thing, but I would imagine open headphones or semi open would likely be safer as it at the very least allows for hearing the...

I find amazon has good deals on black friday. e.g iirc ipod nanos' normally go for $190-200 on there, for the $200 ones anywa,y, but black friday usually brings them to $180 or less, and last year I recall the ipod touch I was planning on getting being as low as $340, instead of $400, so if...

Alright, thanks, what would be recommended for rock/metal/techno, and common pop music? I am looking for something like a can sized yuin pk or ok series type headphone, and from what i have heard, the grados are probably too high in treble compared to yuins and the sennheisers are too veiled and...

I've been researching the best headphone and amplifier to get for the past few weeks now, and was set on the Senn HD 595's, after deciding it would be better to get them than the 555's. I then began looking at portable amplifiers to use with my ipod touch 2g, through a line out of course, and I...

Do you think the D4 review will be out before christmas at least? or will you be getting the D4 in 3 weeks or so and go through a long couple week process of reviewing it before we see your opinion?

Good point, I can't seem to find out which op amps the D3 and D4 use, but they have the same DAC's, just the D4 comes with double the DAC fun. Though if someone can find the opamps or differences in the circuit that might be good to know. I know the P3 and D3 and D2 are all supposedly fairly...

What about the D3? it seems to be a step up from the D2 and seems like a pretty good portable amp, and is considerably cheaper than the D4, around $219 I believe. The only downside is that the iBasso website lists it at temporarily out of stock, which is why I think it is removed from their...

Okay, I've been doing some research, trying to find the right portable amplifier and a good budget. Right now I am considering the Mini^3, as it seems to be at a good price point, a great, deal, and works well. However, I have a few uncertainties from things I have run across in my searching...

Okay, my OK3 earbuds died not too long ago and are finally out of warranty. I am looking at possible replacement options and here are the things I have come up with. 1. buy new pair of ok3's 2. mod my G2A Yuin's to over the head headphones and buy a portable amp and ipod LOD for touch 2nd...

Wow, creepy, I have the X-Fi surround sound. I never got the analog 6 channels to come out, but it works great with dolby digital and dts passthrough in the optical to my surround sound system, and I've also been considering the HD555's though not sure on those yet, and not so much for movie...

Okay, so today the right earbud on my OK3's went, well actually the cable went down by the plug, but the right earbud goes in and out a lot. I luckily have Yuin G2A's to use as back-ups, but really I don't view them as a good permanent solution as They flap in the wind, meaning they sound like...

Could anyone who has these headphones maybe try and compare them to the Yuin PK or OK series? specifically the PK3 and OK3? I have been intrigued by these headphones ever since the first G1's were announced, right now I am seeing the G1A costs $54 with shipping and despite that being...
