    I really like the Galaxy Buds Live. Like you, I can't do IEM's but these are extremely comfortable for portable listening. I use them walking the dog, doing stuff around the house and making phone calls. There are two different sizes of rubber fins included, and when I went to the larger one they really locked into place well. I really like being able to fully hear my surroundings too.

    Thanks for the impressions, sounds like they might be the ticket to fill the void in my lineup!

    I am putting together a cheapo system for a friend and bought an Audioquest Beetle for $25 on eBay (they are $40 from Audioquest via Amazon if you prefer that route.) The DAC is Meh or maybe Meh+ but I was surprised to see that the wall wart is claimed to be a linear power supply!

    I am not going to take the time to a/b with my iFi iPower, but if 5v 500mA 2.5W (with a micro USB connector output) meets your needs, might be worth picking up.

    For those who like Etymotic sound, Evo is $360 on Amazon. It was introduced at $500 and was sold for $400 during Black Friday. Current price is $500.

    The sale items are all open box. No other CA IEMs are being sold by headphonesdotcom, it seems.

    not sure about the center, but they are the best $500 of so pair list price speakers I have had in my tv 2.0/ 2.1 setup in years. Beat many speakers including KEF, Elac, Pioneer, Klipsch, Sony, Dayton, JM Reynaud and probably some I forgot.

    Well of course you need a new amp, otherwise it's gonna get jealous of your other headphones that have their own amps. That's just the polite thing to do!
