Without reading this entire thread... I wonder about updates to the experiences with V Moda's Bassfit (or Forza Metallo). I want the best with: -- wear like a necklace (more room for battery + less likely to lose / get knocked off) -- good (dangling) microphone -- a top audio codec (seems no...

Trying to figure out what audio sample rate the Beats X support. Android shows AAC codec is selected... But only 44.1khz... Any idea?

Wow thanks... Almost too good to be true ;)

Thanks! Based on looking at the Amazon reviews of your recommendation.... I'm going to tenuously add another requirement: no significant amount of Amazon reviews should claim very short product lifespan.

I know someone's gonna say "google it" or "search the forums" but there is surprisingly little on this... Single posts here and there, reviews by sites that are not trustworthy, inconsistent Amazon reviews... I have the Brainwavez BLU-100s, which are nice, but incredibly annoying running out of...

I found some replacement cables from lunashop, but they don't have that memory wire that shapes around the ear... Can that be bought independently?   The replacement cable may work - though one of the pins inside of the driver which sticks up into the cable is broken - but I could try...

I've gone through 3 sets of im-50s in the last few years... I really like them and they're my first ever IEMs. I like that they go around the ear and can't fall off. I like their sound quality. They also fit me well. I want another more reliable set of IEMs, but with those same qualities - and a...

It feels like there is enough knowledge between members of this forum to create an amazing "open source" IEM. I'm down!

I love this kind of discussion! Thanks you two!   Earfonia, I also did not like the low end nobles at all. I assume they use similar design and parts as the higher-end nobles, but I found the Kaiser 10 to be awesome!    I'm going to find a book or something on armatures and completing...

I recently demoed some really high-end IEMs (top of the line Ultimate Ears, Noble, and Aurisonics) and they raised a lot of questions in my head. Here are some of those questions:   1) What parts to they use? That is, do different manufacturers use the same drivers and whatnot? If so, I'd like...

I have the feeling if I'm going to spend over $200 on IEMs, then I might as well go for the aurisonics.

Bump!

Quick question: A dog just ate my IM50s (pretty epic story). They were my first IEMs and I really enjoyed them (had them for 2 months), so I'm fine stepping it up a bit. I'm willing to pay ~$150, and I'd like another pair of IEMs with bass at least as good and better fitting if possible. I also...

I wish someone would just make a better version of the KCS-75 that I could pay for... I guess I'll be buying cables to replace the broken ones.

I've gone through 10 pairs of KCS-75s and I'm about to buy another. What I'd rather do is spend more money on someone replacing the cable with something high quality - I don't have the time or patience to do this currently. I was also thinking about spray painting the nasty cases on these...
