for sure SpudHarris! i have an old pair of HD 590, PX200s and my new ath-m50s but i am still looking for a good pair of truly portable earbuds as my ears get sore using inner ear headphones... i hear yuin makes nice ones but have not been able to find any here in zurich to try out.

any suggestions?

I never use buds, but I do believe that Yuin makes the best available in that style. PX200's aren't bad though and still portable. I sometimes use igrados but if I'm truthfull I didn't have them when I had the XM4 so not sure if they were suited.

In ears are really the way to go, have you got sensitive ears or do you think you may not have got a suitable fit with the ones you tried? Most types now come with real soft silicon tips which may well suit.

ya its a premium phone..but i got it for half the price under a promotion for my plan .

hmm..been thinkin about Customs..but i doubt they can give the impact of Dynamic IEMs...impact is what i love for daily commute usage.

crappy + Sansa Clip + same sentence = does not compute

Agreed. The clip may be cheap in more ways than one, but it's the best SQ for the dollar, in my opinion.

You'll be surprised at how good the Yuins sound, so long as you get a good seal. I'm a TF10 user and was shocked at how competitive the Yuins were. Buy my ears are not made for buds

My little portable rig....

OMG, Re-size those images please!!!

Nice gold A820. I am surprised by how well the colour goes with it.

 

[F_Alonso]

Sorry, now the resolution should be OK.

The gold A820 was the one that attracted me too upon it's release. But then I found out that they only came in 4gb capacity and if I wanted a different capacity I'd have to live with black/pink/white etc. Such a shame since the gold is GORGEOUS.

 

[walkingman]

Actually there are golden 16GB A820 available, but they are limited by regions. Found one at Sonystyle Germany:

My current rig. iPod Video 30GB + LOD + iBasso T4 + UE resistor adapter + IE8.

I need that attenuator to make listening through LOD at reasonable volume levels possible.

My Sony is A828, so it has 8GB, but I live in Europe. On the other hand, we don't have here the white version of A820 at all.
