wow... so much fail in this thread by OP. I used to be in the Home theater business too. More of a videophile though. Never got into the audio stuff because to be honest its shit expensive. Sony is all marketing. They are way overpriced. I use to get cost and samsung is where id put my money if i was going to get a lcd or led lcd. IMO the blacks on the whole XBR line SUCKS. Sony and companies like Bose are the everyday persons "high end" crap. most of their money goes to marketing. Oh and just because Plasmas are being discontinued doesn't mean they do not give you a better overall picture quality.
oh and to who ever said that Apple should be in there too, i do agree to an extent. They spend a tremendous amount on marketing. But you can't argue that they have been one of the most innovative mainstream companies to date. Their laptops may be expensive but they have very very high build quality and customer service. Not outsourcing their call centers to India also increases costs. You have to pay to play. And mac os is more stable than anything pc has ever done and arguably better for many applications.
Oh and OP sony made the first oled but they have been falling behind to samsung. Samsung has the largest oled tv to date.

1. i say this repeatedly: burn-in is a stupid concept. you plug them to a source to listen, they are going to "burn-in" regardless of your intent. it's not as if you are about to run a marathon in a new pair of shoes and need to break them in BEFORE running the marathon.

Any good call on the Etymotics. My ER4P's don't leave my pocket!

I have some head phones that I had to break in also. I started with some White Zombie, then played a little Rage aginst the machine, after that I let them cool down for a while. Which is important, especially for your $400 headphones. I would let them cool down for a few minutes every hour. This ensures that they don't overheat. Good Luck!

While visiting the US on business, a colleague from Japan & I were discussing Japanese manufacturers for everything from electronics to motorcycles. His opinion coincided with mine - Sony is a has been. He is not impressed with them whatsoever. His opinion on mainstream electronics was Panasonic. I also agree with that one.
I would go out of my way to not purchase a Sony product.

just got my Ultimate Ears TripleFi headphones about a week ago for $200.. just couldnt resist since they retail for $400... i just love my music.
btw: to the OP, what do you prefer? the silicone ear tips or the foam? im guessing foam but some people prefer the silicone. also, un upgrading from a pair of Shure SE110's, and these are considerably better.
