OK, how can I tell if this are genuine? Last time when i bought IEM it was through an RFDeal so there was a lot of feedback. These dealers are Fulfilled by Amazon..does that make them legit? There's no comment on this product and it's only $36...
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX-500-B-Stereo-Headphone/dp/B000WOGAJO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1287097741&sr=8-2Anyone have experience with the cx500? Is it fragile? How's the volume control?

No idea just by looking at the picture. I only checked after I had them in my possession. Risky? Yes it was, but for $30 I didn't mind too much.
The only way to be perfectly sure before buy is if the product is coming from an authorized dealer: Here's the list of USA online dealers.
If you do by them, this is how you tell: http://anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8392 | |

I received a fake set from boomdealz.

^ yeah so it's definitely a hit or miss right now, but it doesn't help that we'd have to deal with an american company. I mean, it's good that they'll fix it up and send you another set, but definitely a hassle if anything goes wrong.

Don't really feel like starting a new thread but just got a pair of studio beats and want to trade them for something better. I can't stand them and contrary to common belief there actually isn't any bass even when i set my iphone to bass boost. Maybe if you listen to some techno/trance songs but for normal volume/songs it's not there. Noise cancellation is pretty shitty too, but i'm looking for something that doesn't have NC. Probably go back to in-ears. Sold my image S4's because they didn't have mic for my iphone. They were about the same quality as the studio beats for normal usage :/
Suggest me a good in-ear to replace this garbage

Anyone get the iBeats by Dr.Dre? They're supposed to be really good for the price but I'm finding they're only a little better than the stock apple earphones

3 bills? I could see people spending that much on headphones, but I wouldn't spend it on beats.... There are so many better options even at that supposedly high price point.

I'm on/from head-fi.
Isolating > Noise Cancelling
IEM >>> Dynamic Driver "ear buds".
Sorry if I'm doing a little self whoring here.
But if anybody is interested, I've got a pair of "possibly new" Westone UM2 for sale.
I'm saying "possibly new", cause I sent them into Westone to fix the cable, and I think they just sent me back a new pair.
They dual driver "true" IEMs.
They are warm with deep and tight bass.
I bought them locally for around $350, but they definately aren't worth that much anymore, even if they are "possibly new".
hahahahaa
Shoot me an offer if you want, I've upgraded and they are just sitting in their case collecting dust.

Hey everyone, I'm pretty most of you guys are Audiophiles or just people interested in higher-quality sound. I'm selling my rare RP-HJE900 earphones for $150, it has a custom cable. I received them as a gift from a Relative that went to Japan and as far as I can tell, they're like $249.99 MSRP off of Audiocubes not including the taxes/custom fees. This here is my baby: http://www.revscene.net/forums/fs-pa...p-t633664.html The sound quality is absolutely astonishing for the price but as you will find out, I don't find myself using them enough.

i found that studio sound better than pro. 400 is too much for pro if you ask me.

they are cause they are more of a "studio monitor" than the heavier Bass Pro version. I'm sure Armind would prefer one that has a bit heavier bass as he listens to trance.
