  1. I second this 1000% Thank you again to whoever pointed them out to me.


  2. If your battery lasts only nine hours from a fresh charge then there's something wrong.




    Sennheiser are the best. Great sound, very strong and for once don't fall out my ears.
  3. I'll be ordering the sennheiser-thanks for the advice
  4. Hey everybody! I have a question regarding the iPhone 3Gs. Does anyone know how long the lithium-ion battery lasts before starting to lose functionality? I know that the time will eventually get shorter and shorter between charges, so I would like to know if I should get the 3Gs or the regular 3G (only 8 GB, but it's better than nothing.)

    My mom and I went to the beach a couple of days ago. We had a lot of things to carry, so I put my iPod touch and headphones in my pocket. I eventually went in the water. However, I was in there for at least twenty minutes before realizing that my iPod was still with me. The iPod is dead, but amazingly, my Sennheiser CX-400s still work perfectly. I decided that it would be better to purchase a new one, as it was out dated and only held 8 GB.

    Thanks in advance for any insight regarding the battery.
  5. Dead pixels on my iPod classic 160GB Not sure what the warranty is on it

    February '08, so roughly 16 months. Would Apple do anything or not (besides take more of my money)?


    Unfortunately unlikely outside the 12 month mark. Is there an Apple Store near you? that would be the best bet as they may be able to offer some advice.

    An electronics device should last longer than 16 months. They may replace it depending on whenever the dead pixels started showing up. However, considering the classic is supposedly going to be phased out come September, they may not replace it and take your money for a new one.

    Lithium-ion batteries last around 500 charges before they start losing their full charge. At this point, lots of people are getting nine hours with everything switched off on the new iPhones, which is kind of pathetic for that price and that technology. But you need to recalibrate it each time, meaning let it lose charge once a month and charge it fully from there to get the best use out of it.

    Wait until the 3.1 software and see if the battery issues are fixed.

    Ahh, okay. Thank you very much for the insight Drew!
  12. I recently got a Iphone 3GS and am finding the audio quality to be quite unimpressive compared to my tiny old Samsung K3. It just lacks some dynamism, like for example the beginning of NLOTH2, at around the 12 second mark when the rhythm kicks in, has much less punch on my iphone, which affects a song like NLOTH2 a lot.

    And I haven't fiddled around with the EQ settings on either device so its not that.

    I'm using the same earphones (Creative EP-630s, I detest the iphone pack in earphones) for both as well.

    The only explanation I can think of (besides the iphone having a shitty decoder, which would be ridiculous) is that my iphone case stops the jack on my headphones going all the way in.

    But that shouldn't make a difference right? Cause i've done a few comparisions with the case on and off and any difference is likely down to the placebo effect.

    Anyone have similar problems?
