Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

Ahh my bad, so you'll be adding the second res. That's sort of the look I want to go for in my next build, when it comes to it. Either way the next case will be an SMA8 & have dual res.

Yup... just waiting on the replacement res and i'll add it... plus a little rebuild with the tubing.

I wear it to run so 100% total isolation is not a good idea, I might get run over! These are also more durable, as running i would be sweating, the LG with the cable might get snagged.

So I ended up buying one of these to try. They seem jacked up on the bass a bit to make up for the lack of isolation, actually! I tried modding them with standard earbuds (just plug them in the hole) and they became a bass heavy monster! :eek:

That being said, do you notice when changing songs/resuming playback, the right side starts playing before the left side amps up?

I don't notice any of that, isolation is not great but it's fine for the time of day I use it (when it's at dusk and no one around), and I don't find the right side play before the left.

However, I am struggling with trying to get it to connect at times, sometimes it is amazing like I was using it one day walking around, got in the car and it automatically pairs with the car and music out of the car speakers and cut off the headphones and then vice versa when i turned off the car. And then there are times when I put it on for a run and could not get it to connect and standing outside my house looking like an idiot fiddling with my phone.

Hi, yes it is and I love it :)

Awesome bit of kit with good selection of apps and widgets - used it for cycling, swimming, running and treadmill so far and it's brill :)

Built in HR is a great feature and the battery is great - used it on a fortnights holiday - 5 x 5k runs and over 20k of swimming and it needed a charge (was still at 40%) after a week and a bit (GPS use reduces the battery life) then a quick charge to top it up to full before we came home

Well damn, guess mine is faulty then if the right side begins playing before the left. Haven't had connection issues but have only had a few hours use. Emailed Plantronics about the issue, see what they say before I consider it a lost cause and send back. If I do, guess I'll try an LG Tone Infinium or something.

You should try putting earbuds on it for when you want some isolation, see how you think about it. :p

Just testing now, both sides plays a the same time.

Well, damn. This pair will have to go back or get exchaned then.

What I did mena with testing though, was to stick some earbuds on the ends of the tips and see how you thought of the modded isolation.

Blocking the holes will create more bass, and yours do sound faulty, sorry!
