Extremely professional sounding IMO, almost sounding like a paid review *check's orb's posting history*  Honestly, I don't need anything new soon, but if my current headphones break/have issues I would buy these without a doubt (cheap price, plus it's fucking Razor, they sponsored the TSL!). Thanks! I tried to make it as nice to read as possible On April 11 2009 13:41 Jibba wrote: How's the construction quality and what's their warranty? The wiring seems pretty thin so it might wear away after a while. I've gone through 2 pairs of V-Moda Vibes and the casing wore away on both before a year, largely because the connection to the bud was so stupidly designed. Construction quality seems nice enough atm, but it's always hard to tell these kinds of things when you first start using something. The warranty is one year if I remember correctly. The cable certainly isn't the highest quality. It's a very lightweight standard cable, nothing fancy. I just got it so I don't know if this is due to misuse or what, but I think at least two people have replied to the thread saying that the two cables came apart. This isn't a problem at all on the SuperFis by contrast, as the cable is extremely high quality on those and feels very sturdy.

Right now I'm using Nuforce NE-7s and they're very nice. Good quality (although the molds it shipped with weren't as good as the V-Moda molds, so I'm using those) and thicker cables/connection, plus it comes with a clip so I can redirect the tension away from the buds. I've basically decided not to pay more than $50 for earbuds, simply because I know even the best earbuds are going to have issues with the wiring after a few years. | ||

Not to say anything personal, but some people just don't take care of their headphones. I've had my SuperFis for over 3 years and I don't have a single problem with them. Also ultimate ears offers free cable replacement if your cable is broken, because they made it so it's easy to detach the cable from the headphone if you need to. Pretty good design imo | ||

I'm currently using V-moda vibes and have a pair of denon's on the shelf (great bass...harsh highs  ) If you can find a pair of vibes at your local costco i'd recommend picking them up (unless you'd like to support razer and TL :-p ) Sound is great but as jibba says the construction is stupid so take care of them. also some of them have different style cables for some reason, the one im using now seems to be more solid than my previous pair | ||

Needless to say it still sells as well as ipods do. as far as speakers, klipsch and polk are pretty good, and for OEMs sennheiser is pretty rape, then IEMs have a bunch of different brands/models, too many to generalize. but the bose iems are pretty bad from what i hear. | ||

Like the kinds of people that walk around listening to their ipods on the earbuds that come with the ipod (ugh.... I'd rather not listen at all... actually I'd rather scratch nails against a chalk board). Ever since I really got into audio a couple years ago I started watching everyone on the subway/etc and a SURPRISINGLY high number of people use the shitty quality ipod earbuds. I'd bet over 90% of those people would say bose is really high quality headphones if you asked them. | ||
