    My IEM days are over, per Doctor's orders

      Erm who told you that? Impacted ear wax is a sign that you did need maintenance.   You still need to keep your ears clean and healthy like every other part of your body. If you're a swimmer or spend time in the water you regularly use drops to keep them dry and free from infection. If...

    RHA T10i vs Shure IEMS

    T10i is not worth it.   You have to decide what is worth it to you. We are not in your position and can't tell you what to do. Good luck.

    NEW! Bose QC25 2014

    Overall I think the QC25 is better for travelling. The sound differences you guys have stated is true though. I'm just happy for the peace and quiet.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    I'm really missing my Blox while they are off in Thailand being repaired.    I went from 2 Blox, 2 Yuin, 1 Apple buds to nothing. Now my ears are hurting from wearing headphones and my ear canals are rebelling against my iems. I might just buy a cheap pair of Sony or Panasonic instore to tide...

    RHA T10i vs Shure IEMS

    I was just typing the same thing.    I have the 425s as well and they have a particular sound to them. You need to demo them first.

    Shure se215 LTD or Shure se315 or Shure se425? Upgrading from Shure se215

    Get the iems first, listen to them and then worry about the cables.   I use my 425s with comply Ps or Westone foams. Coupled with hardware bass boost when needed it's enough for me. Not as bass heavy as 215s but bass quality is much higher. Still it won't be enough for you.   Look at the...

    high end iems not as "high end" as I thought?

      Aye but as mentioned it can be preferred sound sig. I have the 425 and the Classic 5.5 and I like the pairing. It's not bright to me as there's a well documented roll off and the wolfson in the 5.5 smooths things, at least to my ears. I can compare the 425 to darker, bassier iems costing...

    Which model of Comply tips do you like best?

    I've used different types of Comply tips on various iems. I also have the Shures and Westone combo packs. In general the Complys don't last as long. I use the P series and they are really soft once they warm up with your body temp. I think they are more porous than the others which helps with...

    I've read these Murakami books and enjoyed them all: Norwegian Wood, Sputnik Sweetheart, South of the Border, West of the Sun, Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage.   I've started Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World twice but haven't been...

    Airtravel: IEM's vs full size

      I fly a bit. Long-haul 10+ hrs.   I use Bose QC25s. For me nothing beats them on a flight. I also take iems(Shures) but as comfortable as they are I cannot have them in for over 4hrs.

    I empathise but you did say you were going to take it to a separate thread.

    Travel insurance but carefully check the policy.

    IEM advice.

    Nice one the 425s are my daily driver. I'm using them with an iPod classic and an E12. How do you like the setup with the Oppo HA2? I'm seriously considering replacing the E12 with it.

    FiiO E12 Review

      No it's been spoken about before. It's why they made the Fiio E12a for IEMs.

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

    Headphonic were a bit noncommittal when I asked about my Shures. I think they like to push their recommendations list.
