what holding me back from getting KSC75 is that the type is clip on. I don feel comfortable with that.

Prefer IEM or Earphone tongue.gif

Try Lear LE01, though the bulk just closed. I was suppose to get KSC75 from bulk, but couldn't wait any longer so gave LE01 a shot since it had favourable reviews and I tried EP-630 which I find the bass compromised the clarity of the music. I find LE01 performs just about right at all fronts for such a cost, its even better than my full sized Philips SHP2700. The only shortfall is the J-cord.

One man's meat is another man's poison, i guess. Would love to try crossroad x3/bijou myself and see how it compares with LE01.

On a short note, i recommend replacing the original eartips provided by Lear with Sony Ericsson ones, or any other eartips with larger accessible "holes", I find the original ones too small, blocking/not letting in enough of the sound.

Yup, good point there icon_rolleyes.gif does it fit? Sony ericsson eartips are slightly different from stock eartips right?

One question here I must ask: Can a phone perform better than a music player? I'm using my sony ericsson p1i with all the songs and earphones/headphones..Somehow I think my phone perform better than my punny lil Creative Zen V Plus, although there were rave reviews about how good the sound quality of the music player is..Quality aside, my phone somehow cannot afford to push itself up to the level of powering a pair of Senn HD 212 pro..I think it's quite power hungry, because my current rig doesn't seem sufficient to let it shine, to perform at its very best..It's constrained..Like not enough energy liddat..Please help!

Sony Ericsson eartips fit just perfectly, same as any other IEM eartips, i guess.

IMO, it would depend on the equalizer, on my SE walkman phone, it has a megabass feature, which when i turn it off, the sound quality which i thought was perfect suddenly turns to crap. Told myself not to expect much since its primary function is phone after all. But on my ipod, the sound quality is true to the source without equalizer turned on. I guess in your case, its time to change your music player? Or get an amp?

Added on February 15, 2009, 5:04 amThere's so many people saying music shouldn be so much about hardware, but more towards the artistic appreciation of music itself..well, if don't use good hardware, how will the songs sound like?likewise, if too engrossed in hardware perfection, wouldn't one be indulging in the hardware itself rather than savouring its use-reveal music in its very true self?

Oh, I see..I misplaced my eartips dy lar..haha, if not for the case, I would've used it too..darn tongue.gif

I'm using Megabass as well(P1i has megabass too!:D), and it sounds good when the feature is switched on. I agree, when the EQ is turned off, all sorts of crappy stuff runs out to play on the audio street..scary..Yea, I want to get an amp..but don't know which would be the best for optimum performance/price ratio..Which is the main reason this thread was created: to seek the best budget audiophile equipment biggrin.gif

FiiO E5 amp is a good start, and it's not so expensive (~RM 90 include postage).
I'm considering getting it soon.

Define your enough? To me it performs just about right for its price.

Yeah, FiiO e5 would be a good start. Though I use a Cmoy amp, custom built by one of the forumer here.
