Instead of having 5 tiny threads or 3 posts in a 50 page thread, I thought it would be useful to have a special thread for us from or in South Korea   Manufacturers to lookout for in South Korea:   Audinst: DAC/Amp maker that is known for their great value.   Cresyn: Dirt cheap...

do anyone have them or heard them both?? I have never had any proper full size headphones, Ive always been an iem person.   can you just tell me the differences and if there are any other in the same price range that I should consider?   and are amps necessary (i currently have the Cowon...

i recommended my friend to buy a R02PRO2 for 30 bucks, and when i listen to it (around 15 hours burnt in), they sounded SO good for 30 bucks. Exact same sound signature as my GR07s. They smashed my SoundMAGIC PL30s (my current backup iem that i thought sounded good for 30 bucks)   they even...

I'm going there soon and i just wanna know around how much an iPod classic and a Galaxy S (or a Nexus S) costs in Hong Kong in those second hand gadget markets.   And any tips when I'm buying them??   Thanks in advance

I'm thinking of using an Altoids tin in matte black (or flat black) colour just by painting it with some car paint, will that be okay to be in my pocket and stuff (iem case)?   are there anything i should know about matte black car paints??   thanks in advance

Samsung has always been the best feature phone and smartphone maker around.   They are one of the few companies that makes most of their own hardware while being the best at it, from processors to screens. SGS phones that are announced every year at MWC always sets the Android phone standard...

I saw these at Jaben Australa for 65AUD, the only review i could find was this. Its not in ljokerl's or ClieOS's multi iem reviews....    when i realised that this was Korean, i immediately went to interpark.com (korean shopping site) and found it for around 30AUD. The reviews on interpark...

looks really good, probably sounds really good (just look at the M/V80), I've always liked V Moda.   But this time not 'Jude Approved'   http://v-moda.com/crossfade-lp2-limited-edition-matte-black/   hmmm.....

Its only 90 bucks, no one??   is it really bad or something?? Its never talked about...

The only one I know is the Otterbox one but I want some that is padded in side.... I want to fit my J3 and my iems (sometimes 2 or 3 with sometimes ear hooks) in there.    I want one that fits in my pocket when I travel.   is the Otterbox the only option??

Apparently, these headphones work by transmitting the sound by auricle and skin without a direct impact on eardrums. So it leaves the ear drums alone. I have no idea how this works...   The product from this company that I'm most interested is their 300SE model, I could only find reviews for...

They are harder to carry than iems They often need an amp, which makes it even harder to carry around There are full size headphones that are more comfortable and probably better sounding (please remember i said probably) They stand out, unlike iems     Headphones like the Sennheiser...

Right now, I've saved up just enough for the GR07, 160 bucks from Hong Kong.    Apparently, they sound better than the IE8 and TF10 technically, the IE8 apparently has more soundstage and bass, and the TF10 apparently is more fun.   I'm currently using the Hippo VB and Cowon J3, there is...

I can read everywhere that they are being bricked by Macs. but most of them are from 7+ months ago.   are people still having this issue?? or has it been fixed??    please tell me if you are using J3 with Macs     thanks in advance.

everytime i don't use the my Hippo VBs for a long time....they sound a little bit 'un-durnt in' then it sounds better in about half an hour.......weird, i know...   i did notice that the VB sounded like 5 bucks headphones out of the box, but in 50 hours, its a completely different iem.

does all line out sound the same??   for e.g. will an iPhone line out be the same as the S:flo2 line out??   i know that the headphone jack sounds different but does line out sound different as well??

my lil sisters birthdays coming up, and my mom asked me what headphones should she get my sister.  (she's using her pink V Moda Vibe that was 15 bucks off ebay, real ones)   first headphones that came in to my mind was the: Klipsch S4, V Moda Vibe 2 (she likes v moda and their design)...

anybody tried these 'Xtra Bass' iems that came out January this year??   there seems to be no impression of these iems online (according to google and head fi search)....

I love my Galaxy Tab, its a brilliant device and I'm planning to use this until Honeycomb matures a bit (apps, smoothness, hardware, etc)   what are you using?? and why do you like it??

LOLOLOLOL our Head of Senior school is apparently a headphone nerd as well.   Last week, he told a student wearing Beats they are crap, overpriced and plasticky. He was also telling him how his Sennheisers sounds so much better.    not everyday you see a student getting told off for...

well....my title says it all, e.g. for the Senn HD515, cheapest on eBay is 85 AUD but on Amazon 50 USD (about 45 AUD thanks to the strong Aussie $)
