Didn't want to go the SBAF upgrade route this time, but everytime I listen more than 30 minutes, all of the other IEMs become unbearable in certain ways. This is truly nicely done :D

Did you tried Shure KSE1500 or 1200
?

I haven’t tried those yet. I don’t like the idea to have to carry another brick, but I’m sure curious how they sound like.

So iriver is partnering with a font now?

You can tap the button again if you want to download it to your device.

My case is a bit different though, I was assuming 'liking' a song would put them somewhere I can access easily. I happen to run into songs I like when listening to different playlists while commuting, and thought that by 'liking' them, I'd be able to find them later. Adding them to my library is also a way, but I'll have to add them to a playlist manually to play them all.

Yeah, I was just saying that your library becomes playlist in itself but I understand what you’re saying

Actually not that prominent on the SDAC but once you hear it...

Thanks, but I might want to stay put for a while though. Heard Jason mentioned of a Vidar-sized class A power amp on Ad-fi, I also got a feeling they’re updating Rag soon...

Interesting. What thread was Jason’s comment in?

Yes I'm a bit crazy about schiit rumors...

I might have to buy extras again. I hardly use my Monk Plus ear buds but when you use them they sound amazingly good.

Shame about my small ears but those VE Monks HURT. Still, yeah, they do sound surprisingly good for the price

Being so cheap yet scaling so well, they’re the best for convincing friends that Amps/DACs do make a difference. It’s priceles seeing their face when they finally understands it.

I kind of feel like allowing the ads to show would be a way to support the forums/blogs/sites I love visiting though, so didn’t think of blocking them. But the IN-YOUR-FACE style on Ad-Fi is a bit too much.

It's Ok. They are all tastefully done.

Ad-Fi. Tastefully telling customers what the sponsors want to hear since June 2001.

Yeah... it's a good one. Have you listened to Macy Gray's Stripped (also a Chesky binaural)?

Will definitely give it a try, thanks! I’ve been using Chesky’s Ultimate Heaphone Demo album to test different gears for a while and found the album to scale extremely well with upgrades.

"eager to perform". I know that isn't a euphemism.

rock on for cellists!

Well, the cello part is definitely authentic, seriously. God, near field real instrument...

I think they would do equally well in a drop test...

I thought they fixed the zero crossing notch? If not, well, I would still #embraceTheNotch

Drop tests are also on my mind when I made the mental comparison haha. I’ll make sure I get a case for gumby.

I'll be honest: I did the same the first time I got to demo one. Given how ears are shaped, placing the curved front on backwards is just more intuitive.

Even if that is the case, if the Sennheiser had anything official to do with Dior for that commercial(?), you would think somebody would have said something.

I originally thought that the audible difference was because of the formats. Now I think it’s because Spotify has a secret tuning that can’t be turned off...

I feel that Spotify’s tuning sounds warmer at first, but there’s a lost of transients compared to iTunes.

People with cheap headphones do not care. Pump up the bass, rich midrange and some highs are enough. They spend hundreds on a smart phone/device but maybe 20 Dollars on ear buds. So hey.
