Yes if they are the only people who sell them then they are sold out.- medex

Recommendations for computer speakers and possibly a dac. Any recommendations?
Maybe below $500 for all of it. Cheaper the better though. I had a bad run with audio-gd dac I bought a while ago. I honestly couldn't hear the difference between between it and the onboard soundcard or the xonar dx. Even though many people said I would. They have done a really good job as...- medex

Currently use my audio technica ATH-A900x headphones with the onboard sound card (Realtek ALC892). I use the onboard since my Xonar DX broke. I'd like to get a pair of speakers mainly for music, tv, movies and possibly some light gaming. I really like my 900X headphones and will likely use...- medex

etymotic customfit isolation?
I got the hf5's for their sound and isolation. Sound is great. I can only get great isolation with the gliders if I go really deep. I can get slightly less isolation with the foam's. The triple flange provides zero isolation on both, no matter how deep. Even with the best isolation of the...- medex

Cannot get good isolation with new etymotic hf5's/
Quote: I do pull my ear up, that's how the etymotic video shows us how to do it and it's how I've always done it even with shures. I have done the same with the grey triple flange and have gone as deep as I can go. It does not seal. I can hear everything fine. Yes the flange is on...- medex

Cannot get good isolation with new etymotic hf5's/
I recently got a pair of etymotic hf5's. I have been a shure user for a long time, so I am not new to iems. I returned a new paid of se215's due to the lead content. With both included sets of triple flange I cannot get a seal no matter what I try. I have a humidifier on and can ear it fine no...- medex

etymotic hf5 before buy concerns
I am looking to get the etymotic hf5's as they look pretty good for my isolation needs. The only concern I have which needs answering is on how deep they go. Is there a limit to how far they can go in? I ask because I am going to be using these mainly for riding the subway (which is very...- medex

Looking for lower end iem with isolation similair to shure's.
Quote: Quote: Well I don't carry a bag so they would have to stay in my pocket. They are too big for that. I tried it for a few days. It's just incomfortable to have such a bug buldge in my pant pocket. Another downside is that shure uses lead solder so you are...- medex

Looking for lower end iem with isolation similair to shure's.
I sampled a pair of se215's, they are nice and sound great but just way too big to carry to work everyday. I am looking for an iem with similair isolation as when riding the subway that's a huge benefit. The shure's are rated for 37db. The iems also can't sit far outside of my ears like the...- medex

Looking for IEM's at a fair price with great isolation that aren't clunky and built well.
I have SE210's which work well and while they do offer good isolation they are big. I don't carry a bag with me daily so the SE210's in their case are just too big. I am looking for a smaller iem that offers good isolation and is not as vulnerable. I want to have a small pouch where I can...- medex

Xonar DX vs STX
Yeah, from what I have read these Asian Dac things look to be just scams. I think id prefer something from a know company.- medex
