The battery only seems to drain really fast on me when I have the screen on.  If you spend a lot of time scrolling through the menus, changing songs often, or looking at pictures, the battery life may be a problem for you.  Listening to music with the screen off, I can go 2 hours and the battery...

So I've had these puppies for almost a week now.  I had never tried Etymotics before, and they are the most $$$ I've ever spend on ear/headphones, being a non-audiophile.  At first, both sizes of tri-flanges made my left ear canal HURT like a MOTHER!!!!  (However, they fit very comfortably in...

Bumping this thread because I would like to know about cleaning IEM cables.  I remember reading that with Shures (and other styles worn around the ear) the cable near the monitors should be cleaned periodically because of its prolonged contact with oils from the wearer's hair.   But what...

Hello gentlemen and gentlewomen,   I am excited to be getting these phones soon, but never having used an Etymotic product before, I have a few questions:   1) How long (on average) do the filters last?  I'm aware that the mc5's come with a set of extra filters, but I'm wondering if I...

How much are Portapro/KSC75/PX100 affected by burn-in and how long does it usually take before they're fully settled?

$70 for CX300 is mighty steep. I just bought a brand new pair direct from amazon for $20.

so many beatles albums better than sgt. pepp... Pet Sounds vs Abbey Road or Revolver would have been closer.

for sound quality alone: PX100 >>>> CX500 >>>> CX300 why bother with the 300s when the 500s are only 20-30 usd more?

I have read a few complaints by CX300 owners saying that the monitors get clogged with earwax quickly, and that there is no way to solve the problem due to the nozzle design. (I've never owned the 300s, so I can't claim to have experienced the problem firsthand) However, I do have a pair of...

koss/ksc75 hands down the best headphones that twenty dollars can buy.

it's a cross between the words enema and anima (pronounced 'ah-ni-muh). i'm sure you can get away with calling it either.

Why listen to a "high fidelity" acoustic album when you could listen to Pink Moon by Nick Drake? Folk music sounds so much more natural when it's not overproduced.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn is one of the greatest albums of all time. Saucerful of Secrets and Meddle are good too. However, Dark Side of the Moon and everything after it (including Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall) are trash in comparison. They're more like solo Roger Waters albums...

does anybody know for sure whether or not Koss is discontinuing them? or is it just RS?

17 bucks? there's no way they're real. i wouldn't ever consider buying cx500 on ebay. i paid $60 for mine online from J&R, which isn't too painful at all, given the warranty. i'd say it's worth it to spend the extra $40 and have the peace of mind of knowing that you're guaranteed a...
