Thats a quicker transition to receiving to review.

Yeah, I could write it after my trip but that would be in almost 2 weeks. I started listening to music yesterday at 5pm and didnt stop till around 1am.
 
Been up working around and listening more this morning from around 8 to 11. So I have more than 10 hours with them right now, and I can tell my opinion has changed from first opening to now. Wonder how that will change in the next 8 or so hours. Gonna try to review after 20 and give some of my favorite songs a listen to again, with a critical mindset.

My work allows me to listen to music for extended periods of time without interruption. As long as my tasks are completed without wasting time I get to do what I want and my boss is happy.
 
I have never reviewed headphones before and have not had a IEM pair of headphones in over 4 years. So it will be interesting.

Oh that is very handy! I have just finished school so i have had about 6 hours listening today with all different earphones.
 
When you review jut be honest and write how you feel about them !

I have had mine for about a week.  Also just rockboxed a clip+ for the first time in that week.  The R50 sound a lot fuller with the Future Sounds foamies recommended earlier but still don't pair as well with the clip+ as my Hippo VBs.  My iPod video on the other hand (also rockboxed), they sound perfect with and the Hippos sound a little too bassy on the low end/not clear enough in the upper mid range.  The R-50 are going to be married to my iPod and my Hippos are going to be married to my clip+.
 
I also own:
Brainwavs M2 - Always sound too muddy (stay in my computer bag just in case)
re0 - always sound good but "empty"
 
Always foamies... big freakin ears.  Only way they stay in.

These thing are built tough, I can't tell you how many time I've got the cord caught on a door handle or something and had them ripped out of my ears or ripped the jack out of the phone or mp3 player without damaging them.  I don't want to make this a habit but to know they can take some what of a beating and still stay together is nice.  Every time it happens though I think I just broke them so I need to watch my cord better.
