My first non-cheap IEM was a set of CX300's. I was never really able to get a good seal in my left ear with them, no matter which tip I tried. The sound was okay, but since upgrading to Etymotic ER4P's, I hardly ever use them at all anymore. In fact, when I'm not using the Etymotics, I almost...

Plenty of love for the Airhead from me! My first and only amp.

Full volume, or just slightly below for the headphone out. I use the max setting on my iPod Classic with the Total Airhead amp. You just have to remember to turn the volume back down before using it unamped, so you don't get an unpleasant ear blast.

About 10 days into the update, and no problems. Could just be a placebo effect, but for some reason the SQ seems just a tad cleaner and the soundstage a little more well placed in space. Anyone else notice this, or is it just me? Also, the menu is slightly less laggy, album art loads somewhat...

I'm using a Total Airhead amp from Headroom ($99 plus the short Cardas cable $14) with my iPod Classic and ER-4Ps, and I'm very happy with it. It doesn't really boost the bass, but it does clarify it a bit. Personally, I've always found the bass on the Etys to be just right for the majority of...

Here's another low price ($12.95) earbud to give a shot if you're bored. Similar to the Gumy's sound, but maybe a bit more detailed. Philips SHE2360. Note the "Bass Port"

This is the only warning posted about the Classic update 1.1.2. iPod classic Software Version 1.1.2 IMPORTANT: Before you update your iPod software to version 1.1.2, you will need to transfer any rented movies currently on your iPod back to iTunes. After the update is complete, you can...

Thanks for the input all. Perhaps the Grados aren't the best route for me now, as I am looking for a roomy soundstage. Perhaps the Sennheisers..... HD555's maybe?

I would assume this also. However, I'm not yet convinced it would matter, as far as SQ. I've only used my Airhead a couple of times using a wall adapter and I honestly can't discern any real difference... other than saving some battery power. Unless it made a HUGE difference, I wouldn't use...

Has anyone who has updated noticed any change or difference in SQ?

I know... amazing! I'm considering running them through the washing machine and letting them dry out on my dashboard to see how long it takes to completely annihilate them.

I'm guilty of posting favorable impressions of cheap earbuds lately. In fact, I'm currently listening to Mozart on the $10 Gumys I picked up at WalMart today (due to reading some of the recent posts you are likely referring to on the Head-Fi forum), and am enjoying them quite a bit. Do...
