Hi Headfiers, I think it's time for me to buy my 1st headphone amp. From reading many reviews, I've narrowed it down to Meier Corda 2Move and Ray Samuel Tomahawk (They're supposed to be best amp for sub-$300) I'm going to use it for my SE530 and probably for near future, DT880...

Bose sound better definitely. But, it's kinda unfair to compare both of them due to their difference in price. I suggest, it's better to buy something else. If u r looking for IEM, Ety can be a good start. But if you don't mind earbud, Yuin PK2 or OK2 has very2 good sound quality.

Westone UM2, TripleFi 10 and SE530 are the best candidate for high-end universal IEM. SQ: [TripleFi 10 = SE530] --> UM2 (I have never heard UM2 before, but with only dual driver, I expect it to be lower than others) If you like nice bass, SE530 has exceptional good deep bass - but only...

Public concerns about safety of iPod listener. It's not uncommon to read in newspaper or witness that someone was hit by car as s/he didn't hear the car was coming when crossing the road. I always listen to my iPod while commuting and had couple of near-misses from cyclist, taxis and trams...

After listening PK2 for a week, I'm quite amazed with this earbud. It's definitely one the best buck for quality. Clear mid and decent high. But as many headfiers warned, the bass is weak. Too weak in fact. But definitely it's still a big leap from ipod earbud. It's also very comfortable...

Very2 cool. When it started, I heard the door is opening and thought my boss is coming and quickly hide my youtube

Put it around the cactus if you have one

Hearing loss is caused you listen ANYTHING too loud incl. headphone. When we use normal headphone, if the surrounding is too noisy we usually make our music louder which often exceed the acceptable level. IEM is used to prevent that. By isolating/reducing noise from outside, you still can...

I have never enjoyed either Blur or Oasis. I'm not sure if it's the band itself or the type music they play.

Sennheiser MX550 or Yuin PK3 for < $50 But for the best, it's either OK1 or PK1.

I do wear glass (with thin frame) and didn't have any problem with A8. Normally, it's very2 comfy and with ear clip, it will prevent the earphone from falling down. There are many occasions where I drop my iPod earbud accidentally and accidentally step on it. But, I do not feel comfortable...

How to take the sleeve off properly?! the default left sleeve seems stuck there. I'm afraid pulling and twisting too much will break it ... While for the right sleeve, there's no problem... Any trick/idea or is it normal!?

Sorry for asking noob Qn: Why do we need Line Out? Why can't use existing earphone out? If Line Out is connected to headphone straight-away, will it produce better SQ? If yes, why?

I presume the worldwide shipping is by using USPS First-Class Mail International Package which will take roughly 2-3 weeks? Will that be possible if I request shipping by using Fedex instead? How much is the cost to capital city in Australia? (please PM me if you need more detail) Thanks!

Nice review. Which amp did you use to drive PK1 and OK1?
