Definitely not Malay for BOMB. Sorry. I know, poor sense of humour.

I did a fast comparison of the three headphones and found that I also like the HD381F, although to be honest, with orchestral music I found there isn't much difference between HD381 and HD381F. I found the HD381B to be too bright for my taste. Didn't listen more than 3 mins, as I really disliked the sound. The fit was very comfortable and feels quite snug. No need for heady mod, since it is not isolating. Another interesting thing is, the HD318F was the first pair I auditioned. In the first 10-20 seconds, it's treble sounded a little weird and then it settled down. Maybe it's all in my brain and I am just crazy. Nice pair of earphones.

Thanks faileas, that is good to know. I am using starhub. Will change my dns server ip.

Ah well, the problems seems to have disappeared for me too. Must be some issues on my end. Thanks guys.

Lately, I have been getting a lot of "server reset connection" type of failures with sgheadphones. Any one else got this problem? I don't have similar problems with other sites, so should not be an ISP issue. Thanks heady

Great stuff. Wow, I am deeply impressed. 2 AAA batteries with DC-DC conversion. Outstanding.

That youtube video is good for laughs. The question is not whether they look ok but do they still work.

Wise words, direcow. Fact is, not even everyone think burning in is necessary for headphones. While others swear even the AC supply cable needs burning in, which to me, is moving into the metaphysical territory, where physics cannot explain. Me, I just believe in burning in for things which move (eg. headphones, speakers etc) and also for capacitors which need to form during initial use. Things like wires, hmmm, I leave that to the believers.

Get a line-out-dock to use with the iPod and an amp, you will be happy then. Visit Stereo Electronics with your iPod and headphones. They will be happy to let you try stuff before you buy. But be warned, your wallet can get hurt.

Please be reminded that all discussions in the Classifieds are not allowed. Please use personal messages for your negotiations etc. Thanks.

Please use PM to negotiate. Mod

When using IEMs when jogging, please be aware of your surroundings. Wait you so engrossed, can't hear people warning you of traffic or hear the car horn. Be careful. Having said that, I also use IEM for exercise but only in the gym. Used a pair of MylarOnes, unfortunately they just died.

You got so many records? If can afford this, my kopi tiam uncle washing dishes act is over.

Good review of the HD381, Bram. Good to see you writing again. I think you are right about the "semi-open" nature giving the phones good mids. I find this is so also for headphones, not just IEMs.

Please read the rules - no discussion on The Classifieds. Mod

How did you....??? I must check my bathroom for hidden cameras now.

Aligning the cartridge is really a pain. Thanks for reminding me of it. Nowadays I leave it to a reliable vendor to do it and try not to think of doing it myself.

hmm... is there sound from the amp?

Don't understand. jacj6049 already offer to help you, why you asking for more assistance?

Sorry guys. The last few days got this guy started spamming the forum but he started slow and I tried to warn him informally and see what will happen. Don't want to be too nasty and see if he will respect our forum or not. Evidently he didn't care about offending any one. I have warned him, increased his warning level, etc. etc. And also removed his spam. Sorry to Singapura for the slow action. heady aka bouncer.

I am no expert but it seems hum comes from the nature of AC. If the signal wiring is not routed carefully, it is possible for the AC to induce DC current in signal wiring which will cause the hum. Other causes are ground loops. Google the term to read more about it.

I like the Cowon D2. Long battery life, plays Flac and also powerful enough for my earphones.

Hi Daptist, welcome.
