HeadphoneAddict Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Amazon selling Klipsch Image X-10 IEM for $94.95 (without mic). I think these are usually over $200. The Mic version is $279 right now. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WAHFBK/ref=ox_ya_os_product
tyrion Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 They are very good but... I bought a pair for my law partner to use at the gym. I think we've sent them back 3 or 4 times. After 6 months one channel dies.
Torpedo Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Damn, that's really bad luck. I've been using the same pair for almost two years --someone here will remember -- and zero problems despite a daily basis use, wrapping the wire around the DAP. However I've developed the habit to place the cord over the ear instead of leaving it hanging, which might have helped to save them from death.
tyrion Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 I figured the first time he just got a bad pair but I think I've sent them back for him may 4 times. They are probably sending back refurbished ones but still, it's like clockwork, 6 months, time for a new pair. I think he decided to try something different. I may keep the next pair. I liked them when I tried them at CJ '08.
MexicanDragon Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Via a dragon down South, the annual UE $99 sale... http://ow.ly/1B06Ju Between these for 95$ and JHA's 15% off sale... It just makes me sad I don't need to buy them right now. **BRENT**
HeadphoneAddict Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 I didn't buy these discounted Image X-10 although I really liked them last time I owned them, because I have IEM coming out of the wazoo and I need another one like a hole in the head. Plus I need to put the $100 towards the SR-009 I ordered. Every little penny counts...
shellylh Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 They are very good but... I bought a pair for my law partner to use at the gym. I think we've sent them back 3 or 4 times. After 6 months one channel dies. I had these for about a year and had no problems, then sold then to a friend who has had no trouble with them. I really liked them when I had them so I bought a pair again to carry around as a "backup" pair of IEMS when traveling (and to watch movies on the plane) to replace the ER6i I have been using (hubby "took" my ER4P since he finds them easier to use than the custom Westone ES5 I won for him at Canjam).
grawk Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 http://dealmac.com/lw/artclick.html?1,523354,1852202 That's the iphone car mount I use. It works great, and for $10 it's a steal

However, if I ever see another post from you complaining about $ I'll ban you so fast your head will spin.

boomana Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 In 5 1/2 hours, HD600s on Amazon Lightning Deals. Don't yet know the price, but some of their deals have been pretty damn good over the past two days. I miss my Senns, and just might bite if the price is right.
CD44hi Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Oh, thanks. Now that the headband on my hd650 is busted, this would be great.
Torpedo Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 I love my Senns and bare pretty well with my sins, which doesn't mean I'm proud of either.
Knuckledragger Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Durr, where's the link to the lightning deal page? Me ma has been pestering me for a pair of headphones that are comfortable. She doesn't like supra-aurals.
CD44hi Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 well, now that you mention it, I went to look for the senn lightning deal and I can' find it. Vicky, linky please?
Nebby Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Tried to find a direct link but wasn't able to, however if you go here: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Friday-After-Thanksgiving-Sale/b/ref=nav_swm_bf2011_1126?ie=UTF8&node=384082011&pf_rd_p=1330612342&pf_rd_s=nav-sitewide-msg&pf_rd_t=4201&pf_rd_i=navbar-4201&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=09SJBJMR9NMN0WJ09PFX and change the filters to show all "upcoming" and change the category to "Electronics" it'll show up after four clicks on the right arrow
CD44hi Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Got it, thanks Edited November 26, 2011 by CD44hi
roadtonowhere08 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Sorry to be OT just a tad, but while I was looking at the Slickdeals thread about the upcoming HD600 deal, I found this gem regarding lossy vs. lossless: "Hearing the difference now isn’t the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is ‘lossy’. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA – it’s about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don’t want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media. I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don’t get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren’t stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you’ll be glad you did." - agenesis (Post #23) Edit: I see this is an often used quote from a while ago. Oh well. Funny anyway. Edited November 26, 2011 by roadtonowhere08
cobra_kai Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 That must be a joke... Somewhat on topic I picked up the 600s this time last year from Amazon for I believe 265
blessingx Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 With the Firefly series and UE Triple-Fi 10 hitting almost the exact same single day sale price for the last three years, curious if this will also be a repeat.
