Does everyone's doughnuts come sealed (no opening to put the buds in)? And I am loaning my PK3s to a friend who's first comment after hearing them was "Wow, earbuds with bass, these things sound amazing. You are going to make me buy these now!" He is, well was a stock iPod earbud user.

I believe my doughnuts came like that as well. I just slightly pulled them apart and quite easily put the bud in.

So far, everyone who has listened to them have been very impressed with my Pk3's. My gf was trying to make me feel bad because I wouldn't give mine to her. I told her I'll get them for her but shes going to have to wait for hers, lol!

I just got my pk3's and re2's in the mail from headdirect, I liked the pk3's. she liked the re2's. Super comfortable the pk3's are, and with good eq settings om my dap, it sounds great.

Ok, sorry, here's kind of a fatuous comparison request. How do the PK3 compare to the denon c751? The denons are 2.5x as expensive but seems they've fallen off the FOTM heap while the PK3 have permanent residency there.

The denons are my point of reference. I'd like to improve on them and am attracted by the PK's $39 price, consistent praise, and ease of use. As house phones I won't need good isolation. Do the PK3 keep up w/ the Denons? Or should I just cave and get Monster Turbines?

Oh BTW, they're for acoustic jazz like Mr. Shorter played, Thanks

PPS, I like the 751s but find them kind of dark and blubbery - loose base... actually I like them fine. The new phones would be for a secondary player - replacing the sony ex-82 that came w/ my A818.

Well, I am a big PK3 fan, but I never liked the Denons, to be honest. To me, if you are going to get the Turbines, you won't need the Denons (cause you will want to listen to the Turbines).

So to me, the PK3s, with a couple of days of burn-in and with the donuts, are the perfect phones for your needs.

I like the logic!

i cant wait to get my pk3's... i hate how long it takes!!

 

[koven]

i just got my pk3's in the mail!!

how do i get those donut things on? not sure how it's suppose to go...

and what is that copper adapter thing that they include?


also, how long should these burn in for? should i just leave them playing overnight?

 

[kretzschmar]

The doughnuts need to be pulled apart in the middle to open the seal, then just slide them on, it took me few minutes to figure out. The adapter is not needed if your just using it with your shuffle, and if I were you I wouldn't bother burning them in, just put them in and enjoy.

Oh and give us your impression of them, I just listened to mine at work all day (got them friday) and I find them extremely comfortable compared to iems.

 

[koven]

i'm enjoying them as we speak.... only been about 10 minutes but simply put, im AMAZED, i'll post a short review tonight probably

cant wait to get my Clip so it sounds even better

 

[kretzschmar]

awesome, I ordered an e5 also, and I am hoping it will be an improvement, but if not, I plan on using it to bring more bass to my grado sr60's.
I would lose my mind if grado came out with iem's.

 

[koven]

did u order your e5 from dealextreme or mp4nation? i'm curious how long it'll take dealextreme to ship this to me.. lol

 

[koven]

ugh.. i cant get these donuts on.. can someone give me some tips?

 

[kretzschmar]

I ordered mine from headdirect and I live in the us, so I expect about 5 day shipping. Just keep messing with the donuts you will get them on their soon enough, it takes a few attempts, just make sure you get the inner part separated

Takes some eye hand coordination. Don't worry if you stretch them a little bit, they have too stretching abilities. Try to just get one little bit on and then just try to pull the whole other side over the rest of the earbud. Not sure if that helped at all......... but good luck.
