How does it compare unamped with other lower-end earbuds?

The pk2's sounded perfect without an amp, out of an ipod, yet was still nice when paired with the airhead. I heard the pk1's out of my ipod straight for a couple of minutes, but the volume was not high enough, and when it did go high, the lows were a bit recessed, and was not as pleasant as driven out of an amp, which brings out the lows, and to a lesser extent, the highs in order to balance it out more evenly. Without the amp, it sounds very distant, but the amped low end brings more body to the music, and the listener is placed closer to the music, but still gives some three dimensionality. Amping the pk2 is probably not necessary, but the pk1's have great body and low end, which can only be retrieved by properly amping it.

Looks even nicer in person. The enclosure feels overbuilt, and the semi-glossy finish accents it nicely. Solid and full, kind of like the sound signature.

Man oh man, WHY did this have to be the DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING!?!?!

I'm dying to try out some of the portable hardware, and the chance to try out Ray Samuels' offerings in particular would have been fantastic. *sigh*

So when's the next NYC meet? Just don't make it November 5th of next year, or I'm even more S.O.L. *pouts*

hey, congrats! please dont tell us you were dreaming of electrostatic cans during your honeymoon! the next big one is spring, but a few minimeets should pop up here and there.

We really need to have the next one in February, instead of April for those who are attending the 2nd National in Cali.

I'd be willing to host it at the Adria if you guys want (Did I just say that out loud or was I just thinking that?).

You couldn't move the wedding at the last minute? Where is your dedication, man? Your priorities are all messed up.

Congrats anyway...

Yeah, where's that dedication?

It's not like the meet is on the day of the wedding. It's the day before. What do you think you'll be doing the day before the wedding? Probably nothing too important that you couldn't get away for a couple of hours at least.

I attended my first meet (Headroom Tour) last year and the meet coincided with our moving day to the new house. I pleaded and cajoled my wife (don't worry, you'll get a lot of practice doing this) to give me a couple of hours to attend.

Now if you really had brains, you would have planned your honeymoon in the Grand Caymans and hang out with Santa and listen to his gear while your wife hits the shops. How many chances do you think you'll have to listen to the kind of gear Wayne keeps around?

Congrats on the wedding BTW
