It took me six trips to 3 different audiologists before I got an acceptable set of impressions. I guess CIEMs are such a small fraction of clients needing impressions they can't be arsed to take the time to do them properly. Anyway, I've found that it's best to go in with a sample photo of...

Cool reference. It's an equation that has to do with matter-wave duality, though I've always seen it written as λ = h / p

You've needed a 2nd refit on a 1964 Ears product? :eek:

After putting in my order for the V6-S, I'm seriously worried that it won't have enough bass. Can anyone tell me how the bass of the V6-S and V8 compares to, say, the Shure SE535?

For a "newb that doesn't know what he is missing out on" you came admirably close to an ideal level of peace and satisfaction on your first effort; you are to be commended! I'm reasonably sure they'll give you the Black Friday price on the V3; the level of customer service I've received from...

That's not true; mp3 encoded at 320kbps (or even v0) is going to audibly transparent for all intents and purposes, especially for the purpose of portable use. Don't take my word for it, feel free to conduct your own ABX test with apps freely available for both Windows and Mac (foobar2000, ABX...

Ordered a V6-S on Black Friday. Was wondering what type of cable connector it uses and if anyone had any suggestions for aftermarket cables. Did not get recessed sockets, btw. Thanks :)

Welp, just put in an order for a V6S. $580 shipped, probably the best value for customers of ever. Can't wait to compare them to my Shure's!

Trying to decide between V6 and V6S. The V8 is also on the table, but I haven't read much about it. I like the Shure SE535 / SE846, i.e. smooth treble / clear mids. From what I've read people say the V6S > V6, but I've heard some say the V6S can be fatiguing which concerns me as I'm really...

Is there a portable amp that is iPhone 5/6 compatible and can be used sans GSM buzz without putting the phone into airplane mode? Thanks :)

Not into modding, but thank you for the suggestion. I guess there's no such thing as a "cheap HD650," eh? Maybe I'll revisit the HD558...

After spending a lot of time with my Shure SE535, I'm finding the recessed mids / boom and tizz of my DT770 to be less appealing. I tried the HD558, which had decent mids, but the clarity was noticeably less across the board (not just treble), and I ended up returning them. Is there something in...

I just saw this image in another thread. I thought the Shure house signature was supposedly mid-centric and warm? So what's the deal with that FR graph?

Looking for a braided cable for portable use. Most of the cables I've seen look awfully bulky; I'd like something I can coil / stuff in small cases like this.

The far left one is made from the incorrect material and has a large void (hard to see) that wax wouldn't help, the 2nd from the left doesn't fill the concha (none of them do, really). They all have problems that might result in fit issues, not only in my own estimation, but according to...

Thank you all for the thoughtful replies, especially JackKontney. I am beyond impressed by Sensaphonics customer care. Kunlun, I'm glad to hear from you as well, as I've read many posts you've made with regards to the Future Sonics mg6pro, which is the monitor I plan on buying. Sensaphonics...

So, I've been to two different audiologists a total of three times and none of my impressions have been satisfactory. The first audiologist didn't seem to know what she was doing, as the impressions came out wrong even after Sensaphonics gave her specific instructions. The second one seemed to...

I'm looking for a pair of 'beater' headphones under $200 to use at my workstation. Closed back, similar sound signature to the Beyer T70 (my favorite headphone). Looking for neutral, detailed, and flat sound. Must be closed back. Thanks!

For the past 7+ years I have used an Airport Express and AirPlay (formerly AirTunes) connected to my receiver via S/PDIF. My first receiver was an el cheapo Sony 5.1 home theater in-a-box, and (ironically) it received the Airplay signal without issue. 3 years ago I upgraded my speakers to a nice...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.    I find that my Beyers only have an unpleasant shrill to them when plugged into the Mac / E10 combo.    I have an Asus Xonar DG on my PC, and I don't find the highs fatiguing at all even at high volume.    This has got me wondering:   - Maybe...

Right now I have a Fiio E10 and Beyer DT770 Pro 80's & MMX 300's (which I hear are just 32ohm 770's).   Looking to see if I can't upgrade my dac/amp combo. I'd like to stay under $250, but I can push $300+ for the ideal setup.    Looking for something to take the sibilant edge off my...
