Concise Multi-IEM Comparison (FINAL UPDATE March. 1st, 2013)
As a relative newcomer it's great help for those starting out that there are such helpful guides made here by those who wish to impart their knowledge onto others. Very nicely detailed and in a novel new way where other's have looked at physical traits whilst the more intangible attributes are...- yimrsg

Review by 'yimrsg' on item 'Alessandro MS1i'
Value As a European, most Grado products sold here are almost prohibitively expensive when compared to our American counterparts. A Grado Sr80 retails for £108 ($167/€125)on amazon.co.uk whilst in the states its $99 (£64/€74) from headphone.com at present exchange rates, a significant...- yimrsg

Alessandro MS1 Questions (primarily for UK users, but all responses appreciated!)
I got mine in about 20 days from ordering I think and had no charge from the VAT. Think I got lucky with them slipping through excl taxes.- yimrsg

RE0 packaging
Mine came in a brown cardboard box about the size of 6 dvd boxes. It was too big to fit through the letterbox and which had to be signed for. Not sure what happens if there is nobody at home when the package arrives.- yimrsg

Re0 went in a washing machine :frown:
Hi Nankai, I wear my re0 to sleep and love them. I got them back in September of this year. Recently they went into the washing machine and came through relatively intact with only the glue holding the metal chambers on the left earpiece dissolving. The right earpiece seems to be fine. I...- yimrsg

[REVIEW] Head-Direct RE0 - a new contender for the best IEM
Just giving a bit of personal experience for anyone who wondered about build design/reliability. Mine went through a cycle in a washing machine (entirely not my fault!) and still work! I wouldn't recommend anyone doing any similar tests and before washing/after washing but was delighted they...- yimrsg

Head-Direct RE0 Appreciation Thread
I was looking for some to upgrade from my se110 as it wasnt holding my attention. After reading the praise for the RE0 in the other thread and the competitive price (i'd already spent 110 on an ms-1i so it was easy to justify it to myself). It is as others have mentioned its...- yimrsg

isuues with Alessandro!
Hi Captain73, sorry to hear about your story. My experience with Alessandro delivery is quite different. It took 10 days for my ms-1i to ship and be delivered to me in the UK. I ordered mine back 22nd July but was expecting it to be closer to 4 to 6 weeks (at worst) but was delighted to get them...- yimrsg

Whats the deal with skullcandy?
As regards skullcandy pricepoint (I'm a UK resident) they have increased their prices markedly over the last few years. I paid under £30 in Autumn 2007 for GI's and which now retails closer to £50 and is above that on the high street. Admittedly there has been some changes in design along...- yimrsg
