I'd have to go for the 67 Chevelle SS. Always wanted another one since I wrapped mine around a tree 25 years ago!

Here you go. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/jvc-fx33-mod-223642/

Welcome to the forum! You might try the UE Super fi4's, they are very small and your wool hat should fit fine over them.

Probably a Sony 618, or whatever replaces the Cowan D2.

I find this thread very interesting. I don't use public transportation to commute, heck, I don't even commute. Anyhow, what ever happened to talking to the fellow next to you when traveling this way. Is the art of conversation dead? Or does everybody want to live in their own little world?

Yeah, it's boring, but very functional.

I have the Super fi.4's and like them a lot, but then, I was coming from the JVC Marshmallows. I will also say that they sound really good with an amp. I use the Comply T400's and don't even notice them in my ear after a while. One more thing, I didn't mean to imply that the...

I'll speak only about the Fuze, because I don't have any experience with the others. The Fuze has very good SQ as long as you don't use the EQ. It's also very easy to use blindly. I work outside all day and keep my Fuze in my shirt pocket; it's really easy to change the volume, pause, or skip...

Quote: Originally Posted by Jessipoo If you want bass boost, I don't know if the player will allow this, but just lower the treble by 1 or 2 points. I did that in my crappy car speaker (2009 Toyota Camry) and it's actually great now! All other settings are at 0 and the treble is -2...

Well, I'm veerryy tempted also. If the FM tuner is better than the D2 I'm on-board!

Quote: Originally Posted by nywytboy68 TBH thats why, in a previous thread, I called the clip (and now the Fuze also) a "Naturalists" player. It's superb sounding but ONLY when the EQ is left off. The D2 and, to a lesser extent, Sony players are for the EQ "Fetishist"!!!! If the...

If these are your first IEM's, then it'll take a little while to get used to them. You may also need the smaller sized tips.
