I'm planning to maybe get a NWZ-A818 in a few days (or a Creative Zen 8GB, or an iAudio7 8GB - just can't decide!), and from what I've come to understand the included canalphones are really surprisingly good. One review even said that you'd have to get phones for $100+ to really upgrade in sound...

So, I'm looking for a portable player, and these three (8GB models) have all grabbed my attention. Now I need to know which would fit me the best! They would all set me back more or less as much (though the Sony is slightly more expensive), so it comes down to which is the better music...

I bought a pair of AH-C551s the other day, and while I think they sound completely awesome in quiet environments (and there wasn't much noise in the store when I bought them, so I didn't really notice this then), it's a bit of a different story when I get on a bus or a tram; I can hear basically...

First of all I want to say hello, since I'm new to the boards! Anyway, I'm looking to get a pair of decent IEMs, and I think I've narrowed it down to these three: Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio Shure SE210 D-Jays I can get the Super.fi 3s and the SE210s for about the same price...
