    Looking for something really different

    I've been satisfied with my RE0 over the past few months. It was fun at first, going back through my songs and hearing them in higher clarity. However, the RE0 really is kind of boring. The dynamics can be dreary, and warmth is noticeably lacking.   I've decided that I really want something...

    DEAL ALERT: Maximo iM-490 available at sellout.woot for $12.99

    I dunno, do it. Never heard them before but the im590 has a decent reputation 'round these parts.   Just thought I'd let y'all know.   Link Here.

    RE0 vs im716 (quick budget clarity IEM review/comparison)

    There can't be too many reviews, right? I thought I'd compare these two head to head, because they're in the same price bracket and because I don't think the im716 gets enough love for what it is today, overshadowed by the newer dynamic IEMs.   Intro   RE0   I'm going to assume...

    The Best of the High Isolation IEMs

    It's been maybe a month since I've asked a question like this. I was planning on buying something relatively cheap then (like a Fischer Eterna) just for airplanes because the isolation on my RE0 isn't where it should be. However, I realized that a) compared to my (now gone) E3Cs the Eterna...

    I need a better player (with all sorts of crazy features)

    For the past year and a half or so I've been using an iPod Touch 16GB 2nd gen. Now don't get me wrong, it's a great PMP; the apps are by far the best part, but as a whole it's well thought out and solidly built (this I can say from "testing" ). However, the battery is now far short of what it...

    Turbines vs Eterna

    They seem to be fairly similar phones, both price-wise and feature-wise. The Turbines seem to be more balanced, but both offer above average isolation and awesome bass. Can anyone here give a quick comparison? I'm especially interested in isolation and clarity. Also how do they compare to shure...

    <$50 IEM's that will take Shure Olives?

    Maybe you could try Comply tips? Similar to olives, but they might not last quite as long. They would open up a lot of options for you.

    Just curious... bass + isolation

    I don't plan to buy any more headphones over the next few months, but my next purchase will probably be something along these lines. I just want to find a fun, bassy set of IEMs with good to excellent isolation for trips. My RE0 are good IEMs, but I have to admit they sound tinny to me after...

    RE0, Grado SR60

    I've wanted to try a pair of Grados for a while and here's my chance. I found a pretty good deal on a pair of SR60s but before I buy them I've got a few questions. How do the sound signatures of the RE0 and SR60 compare? (Related to the last one) Is there more bass on the SR60? Will I really...

    Good phones under $60 or so (coming from IEMs)

    Hey, I know there are a lot of threads about this. I'm willing to buy used, but I am looking potentially for some fun phones (with powerful bass when called for). I don't really care about isolation, I'll be using them at home. I listen to rock, hip hop, a little rap. I know Grados are the...

    New motion city soundtrack album! (My Dinosaur Life)

    I've been listening to this album a lot since it came out a few weeks ago. At first I was a bit disappointed at the change in sound from the last album; this one is much more punk rock (darker sounding) than their last effort. But as I listened more it really grew on me to become one of my...

    looking for <$200 energetic phone for airplane, comfort?

    The title pretty much says it all. My friend wants to find a good pair of isolating headphones that don't rape his ear with deep fit for a long plane trip we'll be taking later this year. I know he wouldn't be satisfied with a flat phone, so I want to recommend something really energetic. He...

    iPod LOD worth it?

    Hey so I picked up a pair of RE0s a few weeks ago, and they're truly amazing. I've been thinking about picking up an amp to go with them for when I need more bass (so probably an E5 or something). I read somewhere that the iPod line out is still amped. I know it was like this for the classic...

    Best isolating tips for RE0

    I recently received my RE0s and I've been greatly enjoying them. My only complaint is that they didn't come with a real carrying case. While I don't generally like silicone tips, the softer black tips are quite comfortable. However, I'm going to be on a plane for 8-9 hours (that's just one leg...

    Reputable place to buy SRH440?

    I just found this place selling SRH440s for $77. I don't know how much shipping is yet, but it seems to be a pretty good deal. Are these guys for real? (Also, I'm stuck in an internal debate. Should I get these over a pair of RE0 IEMs?)

    RE0, SRH440, or SR60?

    Hey, I'm new around here. About a year ago I bought a pair of white SCL3s when they were being discontinued for $60. They've been great; the isolation is miles from my noise canceling panasonics, and they sound pretty good too. But since the end of hannukah (yes, I'm Jewish), I've found myself a...
