I'm not getting them, but I suspect that the HE400's for $274 and the HE500's for $574 are pretty sweet deals:

"Budding" lover here. And one of these days you will be sick of me picking your brain about it!
 
And btw (just to make amigomatt feel better about going OT lol), I just found these acid-jazz dudes. Pretty cool! I think that jazz-fusion, acic-jazz etc is the kind of stuff that I ultimately would really like:

He400 is my main can, and I love it dearly, except for the cable. It uses an odd hook up and is quite long, so you end up paying a premium for a short cable, the cheapest on eBay being around 50 and on amazon around 80. Just ordered the amazon one, and the delivery window is pretty much the month of March.

Wrote an extensive answer on my phone, but the phone deleted it without sending it (I'm sure that's good news to many :-D). Was suggesting Lee Morgan, a Blue Note label mate, The Sidewinder is a good one of you like Hancock from the 60's. Cannonball is a great choice aswell, II'd recommend Something Else, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, or Know What I Mean, a great set with Bill Evans. More later...

I already asked for a comparison between the Tenores, Bassos, and the pistons and thank you for helping me out,but I was wondering if anybody could compare the Tenores and Bassos to the Creative Aurvana 3s, since they are only $60 right now, or the Brainwavs Delta because those are the only iems I have at the moment? Thank you for your help.

I made career out of writing about jazz, waynes world. I'll never get tired of you asking about it. I do have to say, however, that I know way more about traditional jazz than jazz fusion or acid-jazz (although I have some knowledge). doctorjazz and a couple of others, however, seem pretty adapt too in helping you on your journey

Through the utterly crosswired aspects of my mind, somehow talks of jazz reminded me that I finally got one of those random things I always wanted, one of my recently purchased vinyls is clear!

And just like wayne, I'm also getting into jazz a bit. Last night I got to hear some jazz from a headphone reviewer which i thought was good. I believe his name was Dale Thorn, not about him though as I enjoyed the "David Hazeltine - Fur Elise" song quite a bit. Looking into more songs, so I hope you'll help some of us that are new to jazz. (Directed at doctor jazz, eric, and others).

Is it just me, or does this song not sound completely lush and magical on the M200's?

Got the "enhanced" stock version of the Havi B3 today. Came with a nice case and extra tips which the previous one didn't.
 
Sound wise an hour in.... yuck. Bloated bass, boosted mids, dark, lacking treble, not very clear. Sounds like a completely different earphone compared to the first one I have.
 
Unless you can still get the "professional tuned" version from Havi, I'd avoid it.

I'm still waiting for my order. I'm worried I'd get the enhanced version because the seller had no idea. What was the packaging of the pro version?
