Hi folks, I'm new here. I was wondering if anyone had good advice on a portable phone that is resilient in artic temps? I'm in Canada, use an iPod and want something better than the iduds, but the phones have to fit under my toque, so KSC 35's and anything larger are out. I own Ety 4p's but I can't have the isolation while walking.

Dude you are such a geek. We are only trying it out to iron bugs and stuff. I think the R-10's are the best in teh world for ipod use.

I'd suggest orpheus w/ a portable blue hawaii

That would work just dandy with about 10 car batteries in parallel.

I think the R10's are awesome with the iPod too...and they would work well outside if I covered the wood with wool for the wind and rain...but they cost a bit, trade a child to be for the R10's?

I hear the PS-1s are pretty ok.

The problem with using the Ps-1 is that it's not practical for portable use.

Expense, heavy for most users, comfort issues, it leaks sound in and out, cable has to be shortened, due to the weight it easily slips off if someone points there head up or down. the cups would protrude and not be desirable.

Yep, you are right, that is why I like your R10 suggestion. Comfy, cable can be shortened, light weight, can be covered in wool to act as a toque look a like and all it will cost is my next born son

Well the r-10 reference was a joke. That's just as impractical than the Ps-1 if not more so.

Gotta go with these...

Soooooo comfy!

**BRENT**

I have those, and with the KSC-35, it digs in the ears. With that thing, only buds or IEMs are safe. My solution is KSC-35, wool hat, then hood. When it's warmer it will be the KSC-35 drivers popped into a Portapro band over a baseball cap!

Duh!

Heh charlie, that's such a recording rig and not a listening rig...

k271s are pretty good for that. i use them when i am around the campus and i am in minnesota.

Bah, it's easy enough to just replace the recorder witha laptop!

It looked like a minidac..

It's a minime, and is connected to the IN on the dat, if I'm not mistaken...

its a mini dac...

this setup is so much better.

...ive always wanted a balanced portable rig

you can't see the power conditioner, but no worries, I have one and it's part of the portable rig.

Have you tried the K1000's with your iPod? Highly recommended!

My setup is iPod Mini(320K AAC)=>Pocket Dock=>Zu Pivot=>Headamp GS-1(pre-amp out)=>First Watt Aleph J power amp=>Stefan Audio Arts Equinox=>K1000. Portability is not an issue. I prefer hauling my rig around in a Radio Flyer.

I've been using a Skidoo Summit to haul my portable rig on...
