Hi all! First time posting here in quite a bit. Over 10 years ago this place helped me discover the Yuin PK3s which blew me away at the time for the price to value ratio and satisfied my needs. I recently found myself looking at cheap buds again out of boredom and realized they've come a long...

I've been planning to grab one of these in the next couple weeks, but came across YouTube impression videos mentioning the jack issues. Now I see in this thread they are planning a revision for February? Is this confirmed? Should I hold off a few extra weeks?

Anyone?

First off, allow me to bore you with some brief history just so you understand where I'm coming from!   About a year and a half ago I decided it was time to get some quality 'phones. Nothing crazy expensive, but a step up from stock and overpriced stuff that was selling on its brand. I was...

After searching for some quality/budget 'phones that fit my needs I'm finally satisfied with the PK3s! Couple of quick questions about them: - How much burn-in time did it take before you guys felt they had reached their max burn-in time needed? - My package came with 3 pairs of foam...

Need some help yet again. (If you don't want to read the whole post then please skip down to the questions, thanks!) I made a thread a couple of months ago looking for some advice on IEMs. My criteria was something $80 or under and it needed to sound good with both music and videos (Movies...

Looks like the ADDIEMs are next up in my journey to find the right IEMs for my needs. Basically, I'm looking for IEMs with good SQ, a mic, and at a cost of no more than $80. They'll primarily be used with my PC/included sound card and my Touch 2G. I made a thread asking for some suggestions a...

Got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is that my NE-7Ms have a slit in the cable that is causing problems. I noticed the slit straight out of the box and was ready to live with it. However, the sound started occasionally cracking and the only thing I can assume is that it's due to...

HeadphoneAddict, I noticed that throughout this thread you praised the E2c tips/NE-7M combo. I'm looking to grab some since I don't like the stock NE-7M tips and since I'm just not a foamie person. Can you let me know if these are the E2c tips you have been referencing: Shure - Black Soft...

First off, let me ask the questions: - Is there anyway to take off the shirt clip? - The foam-ish tips provide a noticeably better sound quality to my ears. A lot of the reading I did about these 'phones mentions the Complys. Are those a worthy upgrade from the foam-ish tips that come with...

Hmmm, hadn't heard much about the NE-7Ms. I did a little reading about them and they seem highly regarded for the price. The mic is a nice addition as well (Will work great with the various Skype apps). Thanks for the advice everyone!

OK, here's the deal. I'm looking at some earphones/IEMs around $70. I'm not too picky, in fact, I'm more of a budget audiophile who can appreciate quality sound that beats the garbage packed in with most devices. To get an idea of this, my best pair of headphones right now are the PX100s, which...

Need some help guys. I've seen this question asked/answered a few times, but always with different opinions. So I'm hoping I can get some more viewpoints and maybe find out what the general consensus is. I'm using a portable amp connected to my PC sound card. I can adjust the volume through...

Quick question guys. I'm primarily using my E5 out of the line-out jack on the back of my PC. What volume should I keep my sound card/master volume at (it goes from 0-100)? Should I max that and then amp from there? Or should I set the sound card volume to something else and then amp from there...

Nice impressions mcspectre! My impressions pretty much match yours exactly as the two pairs of headphones I have tested the E5 with are the PX100s and the EP-640s. I must say, I'm extremely impressed. I've never used a portable amp so I don't exactly know what I'm looking for, but to me...

I really can't answer the "worth it" question as I'm from America and am not sure whether or not that is a good deal. In response to the second half of your post, make sure you're buying them from a place with a liberal return policy. Not because they are bad headphones but because they have...

Just went to my local Radio Shack, I had them scan the item and they still have it at $24.99.

As someone who recently ordered and received a pair of AD700s, I'll say this, make sure you buy from a place with a good return policy. As I'm sure you have read, if you've done any research, the AD700s have a very unique loose fit. I initially wasn't worried because I have a big head but they...

Hopefully I can get some help from people who have a demo unit or people who have used the E3. I'm interested in the E5 because I need a cheap amp to help boost the anemic volume out of the jack in the back of my PC that can be used with headphones. Now, the portability aspect is not something I...

Thanks for the responses guys! I sorta figured if there was any loss that it probably wouldn't be audible with my headphones/system. And yes, I'm not looking at a long extension. As owners of the PX100 are aware, the cable is somewhat short, of course it's fine for portable needs though...
