PeterDLai/gz76,

Yep, they are a hassle on the dust front. Just had to cover the thing to avoid scratches, so this does the job for the mo.

I'm planning to replace this with a RadTech Sleevz case (http://www.radtech.us/Products/SleevziPod5G.aspx). The case I'm referring to was shown in one of the earlier posts (sorry can't give credit/recall who had posted their rig with such a case). It looks like it'll meet my requirements of an unassuming, low profile case without the dust magnet symptom.

I got a translucent white silicone zCover for my Cowon X5, a friend of mine got the black one. Mine didn't show lint from the beginning on, his looked like it had a bad case of dandruff. But his stopped attracting all the lint after a month or two... I assume the case became less electrostatic, or something similar.

In any case, seems like lighter silicone cases aren't as bad lint-magnets as darker colored ones.

^you don't use foamies on your pk1's? My pk2's lose all of their bass when you take the foamies off. Why don't you use the foam?

There's plenty bass for me without them, and I find it more comfortable too. They're great phones for sure.

Rofl, the only rap you'll ever hear me listen to is a German "band" called Seeed.

Are you from Germany? I cannot imagine anyone hearing Seeed outside of German speaking countries.

Nope, a friend went do Germany over the summer last year for school, met some guys that introduced them to him, and he brought back a cd. Great stuff though!

I don't speak German either!

sounds great. after going through super.fi 5's (not worth the money) and shure e3c (uncomfortable and a little to much in the mids), ive been in love with the um1s for a long time. i use the R&B eq setting with rap and that pairs up well for me.

good to see another fan of the good stuff. d'evils is definitely my favorite hov track.
