    Suggestions for IEMs needed with a budget of 1.5k-2k to be used with Samsung galaxy S

    Try something from Xears. I have a Voodoo SGS and I find the Xears to pair well it, be it xb120 or td 100 II. Do not go for something with low bass quantity.

    Suggest a great 2.0(bookshelf) or 2.1 System

    Somehow, I feel with an AVR you compromise on music! But then, if convenience as well as movie watching is a priority, it is the way to go! You could get one of the HTIBs like onkyo 3100 or yamaha yht 196.

    Is paying 9.3k for COWON C2 16 GB really worth ?

    carbon, Imho, No! The C2 still has a resistive touch screen, which along with the not so user friendly UI would make it difficult to use. Also I still feel such large sums of money is better spent on good iems/ headphones. Instead of plonking all your money for eq(bbe), you can get iems with...

    Headphones for Jogging

    Meelec a151, its got a cloth cable, so no tangling,microphonics etc and Melecs usually are decently built. It would be around 50-60$. The sound signature is warmth personified and mid centric with decent bass and rolled off treble.

    Really? That much of an increase in battery life?

    Random IEM / Headphone Rants

    No, mine were cx300 not cx 300 II. Irrespective of what it goes for now, I reiterate my initial opinion that I feel these(the cx300s specifically, though as far as I have read the cx300 II are no radical improvement) are not worth paying more than 1.5k for. I would rather get a Soundmagic Pl30...

    Random IEM / Headphone Rants

    I dont know about the ones in the link. Mine were brand new and from Sennheiser on Amazon. And they were not fake, afaik. I had gone thru the head fi checklist of how to spot fakes, beyond that none of us can be too sure. If they dont provide service, then the premium you pay is just for the...

    Random IEM / Headphone Rants

    I didnt say I paid 1.5k, I said thats the price I feel that they should be sold at. As for me, I bought mine a few years back from Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX300-B-Earbuds-Black-Version/dp/B000E1FYQA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1336650096&sr=8-5 Do you mean to say, Sennheiser...

    Random IEM / Headphone Rants

    esanthosh, I used to have the Senn Cx300 and the last they are is balanced or detailed. Very fun, enjoyable sound, but thats about it. They were better than the ep630s though when I AB-d them at that point of time with my Cowon D2, Nokia n91 and iPod. The Soundmagic Pl30 I got later was far...

    Sansa Clip+ help needed

    Harshit, Sansa Clip Plus is an amazing player. I have one and I would buy one more without blinking an eyelid to keep as spare. The only chink in the armor of this other wise awesome player is limited battery life, around 9 hours and slight lack of power when it comes to less sensitive iems/hps...

    Tenzin, esanthosh did get the Hm5 and he wasnt too impressed. I suspect the usual head fi honeymoon period!

    Suggest a great 2.0(bookshelf) or 2.1 System

    Gannu, I have auditioned it and yes it has got decent power. It is adequate to be used with speakers that have good sensitivity and are a comparitively steady/easy load. As far as the sound goes, it is excellent and for 80$ you pay, it is even better! Edit...

    Suggest a great 2.0(bookshelf) or 2.1 System

    Gannu, the Topping Tp20 with an entry level bookshelf speaker pair is a way of going passive-separates route in this budget.

    Random DAC/Amp Thread!!

    tracerbullet, I use the hd555s with my Sansa Clip, udac etc and I find mids to be quite good for its class.

    Portable Player + IEM

    carbon, do look at the JVC Fx500 if the fx700 is out of reach. I have not heard the fx700, but I do own the fx500 and it is quite good! The bass is just awesome.

    Do speakers outdate less quickly?

    kvikram, I used to listen to this system a lot at a relatives place in the late 90's. Lovely sound. Speakers and amps dont get outdated so much. Ofcourse tech does improve. But there are lots of vintage speakers and amps which can give the latest hi end audio gear a good run for their money. On...
