Update: The earphone started working again. I was cleaning my tips and let them dry. After they were dry I put them back on and I think the inside of the tip was still wet and there may be a drop of water that went inside the earphone and it render it useles. After a couple of hours maybe the...

After less than a year my left earphone from Westone 3 stopped working properly. There is still sound coming out of it but it's less than 1/4 of the power from the right one. I'm very mad because these are very expensive earphones, and I know that there is 1 year warranty one them so my question...

Bump. I would like it very much if someone who had experienced Super.Fi 5 Pro and then went with Westone 3 (or UM3X) can tell me if its worth the 150$+ and how they are better. Thanks!

Well after browsing into numerous threads about Westone 3 and UM3X I want those, since I can get a discount. My conclusion is too much information is not enough. I don't want to start another thread about W3 vs UM3X, but considering I am coming from Super.Fi 5 Pro, which Westone will I prefer...

I don't know how aggressive their discount is, but keep in mind that they are kinda forcing me to buy another pair of 200-300$ IEM instead of prolonging the life of my Super.FI 5 Pro for 20$. What other IEM would be equal or better than Super.Fi 5 Pro ? Would the Westone UM2 be an upgrade, or...

So I went to earphonesolutions.com to buy my second replacement cable for Super.Fi 5 because it stopped working in 4 months to get greeted by this message: ATTENTION: Once our stock is depleted on "UE cables" we will no longer sell them. If you have become tired of buying these to replace...

Just came back with a pair of ATH-M50. Compared them with DT 770 Pro/250 and prefered the M50. The M50 were on a demo rack and the DT 770 had to be taken out of a box so they weren't burned in.

I'm also interested in hearing people's opinion of ATH-M50 vs DT 770 Pro because there are my 2 choices.

I don't know. I understand the heaphone has drivers but an amp? How can burn in help? Btw the card is awesome.

Wait wait wait. Are you guys actually saying that my Xonar Essence STX needs burn in? Headphones ok, but a sound card?

- Yes - No - No, and found no noticable difference so not using it - No

Just installed the card. It sounds great! However I can't control the volume the big knob in the Asus Mixer. I can use the volume control on my keyboard, but the knob on the mixer doesn't work at all. I'm using Vista.

I understand what you are saying. The S639 is more bassy than any ipod. I was always disappointed with my iPods because they sound boring to me, no punch. The sony is just what I wanted, excellent sound un-eq. IMO, the bass is perfect. Not boomy and not over blown. The soundstage is...

X5 on S639 But that's because I have it and it's the best sounding DAP I have heard.

1 or 2 second an album? I'm more at 3 second per song! I'll try the latest firmware, and try using winamp or media player to transfer.

Anyone can do tests with their S639 to see how fast they can transfer data onto their player? I really bugs me that I can only go at 2.22MB/sec when my +4 years old iPod transfers at 15MB/sec.

Yes there is a drive letter. Is there an updated firmware? My device says 1.10. Is a flash player slower to transfer data with USB2?

Ok now the Sony player doesn't show (MTP) on the display, and on windows explorer (I'm using Vista) it shows like a regular USB Drive. However, the transfer is still slow, 2.22 MB/sec. I tried transfering the same data on my iPod and it's 14 MB/sec. Also, when there is no activity, the...

I just bought a new Sony S639 and everything about it is amazing except the time it takes to transfer song on the player. It takes about 4 to 5 times more time to transfer songs on that player than my very old iPod 4th 20Gb (the one with a monochrome screen). Is this normal for flash player...

I'm using my POD XT as my sound card for my computer and music listening from mp3s. I find that the quality is way better than my on board sound card. Is the Pod XT a good headphone amp for the HD650 or maybe the Denon 2000?

What is going on? I was about to buy an iAudio 7 because every single review on the web says that the strong point is the sound quality. Now I'm seeing more and more posts about how not that great it is. What? I have a dying iPod 4th gen and was really into that iAudio 7 because I wanted to have...
