    hi everyone,

     

    haven't looked at IEMs [and visited the forum] for a long time

     

    am thinking getting a IEM with a mic for a android smartphone, any suggestions?

     

    my last purchase was a westone um2, is there something in that range?

     

    i presume that models compatible with iphones will not work on android, correct? cos apple deliberate chose a different arrangement to the rest of the world...

     

    thanks in advance

    hmm? did u go over your budget? congratulations btw.

     

    super exceeded...

     

    tested the sf5 & atrio, but felt there was no significant improvement over my ep630 (maybe i didn't get a good fit)

     

    then tried sf5pro & um2, definitely can hear an improvement

     

    didn't like the sf5pro form factor (memory wire, plus stick out from ears too much)

     

    btw, the sansa clip sounds great :)

    hi all,

     

    have been MIA from sgheadphones for quite a while...

     

    currently using creative ep-630 (bought it to replace my spoilt e2c when i was jobless) with an old Pocket PC (HP RX4240)

     

    now that i'm working (since Oct 08), my hands have been itching to get something better for the daily MRT grind to and from work...

     

    music that i listen to: j-rock (e.g. luna sea, dir en grey), rock (e.g. muse, radiohead).

     

    any IEM suggestions? looking at budget of about $250...

     

    p.s. also thinking of buying sandisk sansa clip... but seems 8GB model not yet available in Singapore?

     

    thanx in advance for advice...

    wat about malaysian channels?

     

    listen to red104.9 (92.8FM in singapore) sometimes, but they are a shadow of their past...miss all the defunct rock radio stations...104.5, 103.7, 90.1...

     

    singapore's ria 89.7 is not bad (listen to their sunday 9pm rock show), but me don't understand the language, so just listen to the music, sometimes don't know what song title and artist...

    u need to know that shops know that u are asking around for the cheapest price...2 consequences,

    some shops give a low price to entice u, later say need to pay extra for this extra for that,

    some will very sianz to entertain u, give u a high price as they want to sell other less popular products

     

    i asked 2 shops for iriver u10 [1GB] a few months ago, got quoted S$400 plus, and heng i didn't buy on the spot, i went to the PC show [happening during the same time], searched for 2 days [couldn't find the small shop on the first day] and bought it for S$369

     

    the moral of the story...do your research b4 purchase, not after...so many stories of people asking "i bought ABC for S$xxx, is that expensive?"

     

    there is no law saying that a company can charge u a high price, u have to "huo4 bi3 san1 jia1" [compare prices among 3 shops before purchase]. but it is wrong for a company to charge u extra when they quoted u a lower price earlier

    hi everyone, need some help

     

    my office needs a audio system to record some radio programmes for archive purposes. many portable mp3 players have the ability to record FM radio, but i'm finding it quite difficult to find a "mini hifi" with such a function. any suggestions?

     

    the closest i can find are some of the DAB models [e.g. Pure Evoke-3], but these record only DAB, and on MP2 format [very sian to convert every file from mp2 to mp3]

    sorry ah, u are a bit vague, what functions u looking for?

     

    fm radio?

    memory size?

    recording functions?

    drag & drop?

    battery options?

     

    i suppose a flash player is more within your price range

    e.g. apple ipod shuffle, iriver t10, iaudio u3 [haven't heard them, but they received quite good reviews online]

     

    as for headphones, i would recommend the "plug-type", more isolating for external use

    e.g. shure e2c, sharp md33 etc

     

    u also have to consider how to split your budget between player & headphones...

    my njb3 refuses to die, but i'm getting tired of its big size...

     

    what i need in the new 6-8GB micro-drive player

     

    1. a good shuffle mode [njb3 shuffle mode is frankly quite dismal]

    2. FM recording in MP3 format [i've been spoilt by good recordings of njb3's fm remote]

    3. removable battery [rules out zen neeon, yh-j50, etc]

     

    looking at CES product launches, the only possible new product would be the iaudio 6. but i'm not sold on its looks

     

    i'm currently contemplating the iriver h10. but seeing that its out in the market for quite a while, i'm afraid that iriver will come out with something nicer soon. too bad that the iriver u10 doesn't come in a bigger capacity...

     

    any suggestions?

    since u mention creative...this should be first stopgtrhttp://creativex.creative.com/products/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=213&idSubCategory=214

     

    the zen neon 512MB looks suitable, travel charger is separate though

     

    prices valid in sg

     

    i've seen many in hwz rave about the iaudio u3, i'm interested also, but i personally need a much bigger capacity mp3 player
