  1. I thought the Creative EP630 or EP650 is good value for money... In the $40 +/- range.
  2. What about Phonak themselves? Maybe they can help... www.phonak.com.sg Else try Null Audio at www.null-audio.net
  3. Thanks for taking time to comment. I've been using the Jays for past 2 years, and am happy with it so far (of course have not tried others to compare). It does sounds good to me ;-) I'll wait out for the so-called international launch, and take the next step. By the way, have you done an ear impression before? I heard it needs to be done for customs. Any recommendations? Thanks!
  4. I just found out that the Jays can be customized... By Jays' partner in Sweden, starting in Apr 2010! Guess what? It's a plug-&-play type that let's you revert to the original buds if you wish. And the custom is made of silicone. No idea of the price though, and it's available in Sweden only at this time. http://www.jays.se/products/earphones/q-ja...stom-molds.html
  5. IEMs... Hmmm... I read about customs, but have not tried it before. It really fits well as the name suggest huh? Budget wise? $500? How much is the minimum for customs? I actually have a pair of Jays right now (can't remember the model. Could be Q). The original tips fits pretty well for short term, but if it's for 2 or more hours, tend to be pretty stuffed, especially if you are flying. Can the Jays be "custom"? Or only particular brands can be "custom"? Thanks!
  6. Thanks for this insight. After wearing the it for a period of time (say 2 to 3 hrs), I can feel that the cans actually presses on the cartilage of my ears, and gets pretty uncomfortable. Maybe the overall fit it kind of tight to begin with. Thus, I was hoping to get the cans that can actually fit my ears in it. Will check out your recommendations. Thanks!
  7. Thanks for the recommendations ;-) I currently have the ATH-ANC7, but the cans presses on my ears (kind of small I guess). Are these larger?
  8. Any recommendations? Besides the noise cancellation cans available in the market, does closed cans do the job well? Portability also important if I want to lug one around wherever I go... By the way, the cans must fit large ears :-) I find cans more comfortable than IEMs for longer journeys. Or has IEM fittings improve? Thanks!
  9. No luck. None of the shops have it on the 2 floors :-(
  10. I saw it last Saturday at Thomson Plaza branch going for $129.00. There's also a demo piece. Think only has white color, though there's a black version available overseas. Do you recall which shop was that? Or perhaps which floor? How long ago was that? I can pop by tomorrow to check it out. Thanks!
  11. So far no such luck. There don't seemed to be any shop selling it. Will keep trying...
  12. I agreed that the A01 sounds great when I checked it out. I was also surprised at the price, given that online prices are the same but in USD. The U10 certainly cost a lot more! That's probably gonna set me thinking. One other option is the Logitech mm28. That's the NXT flat panel stuff that's going for USD60. Need to hear it first though. Will update if I come across a reasonable price for U10.
  13. Thanks! Only problem is NX-A01 needs AC power. Thus not too portable on the go unless within reach of power supply. I'm still keeping a look-out. Else probably buy overseas.
  14. Anyone knows where to get the Yamaha portable speakers? There's a cube version (NX-A01) and a typical bar version (NX-U10). I heard the NX-A01 at Best Denki and the sound is great! Best Denki only has the NX-A01 going at $129. In US, they are retailing for at least US$179 online!!! Did we have a good buy here or what??? The advantage of NX-U10 is that it has USB and batter power in addition to AC. The NX-A01 only has AC, but it looks good. Thanks for any heads-up!
  15. Knock Knock Me blur. You are right. It's line-in. Not line-out. Guess I'll live with using it through headphone jack.
