Hey, as above mentioned in topic, where in SG can I buy the Sansa Fuze 2GB? Or is it not even released? Any idea how much? I saw the player on Amazon for about S$120 shipped. Like quite cheap but will not have local warranty. Sigh... Any help will be appreciated

Hey guys, are there any side effects from using IEMs? I used to dislike IEMs due to some discomfort after long use. So I considered getting closed-cans for a while. But now, after wearing Sony-Ericsson In-ears for about a month, I feel comfortable using the phones for about an hour. But I have other concerns too. Do IEMs cause more internal ear damage than closed-cans? Like permanent hearing loss or some kind of injury? I am comparing with closed-back headphones here because I know just listening to music for long periods of time can cause some kind hearing damage. And I am not comparing with open-back or earbuds as I use them outside. I usually listen to music at about mid-volume of a player so I do not turn the music too loud. Another concern is that IEMs usually have messy cables when keeping them in a sling bag. I heard coiling cables are bad so it results in messy cables after. Any solution for this? Just in case you are wondering, I might get a M3 with bi-flanges to upgrade my SE ones and maybe get a Creative Zen.

Could anyone give some review on the FC5/7 and the ES3/5? whether they are value for money and the SQ?

Hm... Actually I am not really much of a bass head. I mentioned stronger bass because it is mostly the bass that gets covered by surrounding sound. So let's say I choose to get a closed-cans, which ones do you guys have in mind? I would mostly need a strong bass and mids, while keeping treble neat. Hopefully not too bulky. Budget stays around $80. Here are some models I have in mind. Can you guys tell me the estimated prices of these models too? - Senn PX200 - ATH ES3 or 5 - AKG 414 - AKG K181DJ/K81DJ - ATH FC5/7

Hey guys, I am currently using a Koss KSC75. I would like to buy another set of Head or Earphones because when I use the KSC outside ( like in the bus), I am unable to hear much of the bass,if any. I know that the bass of the Koss is already weak in quiet places, so what would you guys recommend? Would a bass-heavy open earbuds or headphone like the iGrado work to get the bass on in public areas? Or do you guys think a closed-back pair of headphones will work? I do not mind hearing the ambient noise around and I hope to avoid IEMs. My budget is less than $100 hopefully around $80.
