    Reply to review by 'alan278' on item 'Noble 4'

    I'm also struggling with the fit and may return them  Tried all the different sleeves except the blue (which i cannot get to fit onto the bud) in each ear.  I'm not a basshead, but even so, I'm also not sure there's enough bass for me.  Amazing mids and especially highs - clean and great...

    Noble K10 vs JH Roxannes

    JHA earphones typically have that industry standard 2-pin plug, and JHA has a device (phone) controller/microphone cable.  The rox has a new 4-pin configuration.  Does jha provide a controller / mic cable for the rox?

    Heir Audio Problems

    OK thanks - maybe that's what this delay is about.  Seems they should have some auto-reply on their email or something.

    Heir Audio Problems

    Just putting a bump on this to see if there are any readers who care to comment or provide suggestions on how I can get better service from this company.  I'm out several hundred USD and a lot of time (emails, to/from audiologist & UPS etc) with nothing but a pair of buds I can't use.

    Heir Audio Problems

    I'm not sure where to post this, but I need to.  I purchased Heir 4A's almost a year ago and have had various problems.  Since the purchase was completely a result of reading threads on this site, I thought my experience should be made public here as well.   I do not doubt the many positive...

    Samsung Galaxy S 4

    Hi.  Deciding between the HTC One and Samsung S4.  Trade-offs either way and I settled on the S4 until I read an article this morning which said the S4 audio quality is not good.  Of course after looking around I've seen issues and differing opinions on both, so I'm confused now.   Music...

    iPhone cable (with mic) for UE or JH IEM's

    Quote:   Are the Westone and JHA cables still the only options for CIEM cables with phone mic/control?  And the Westone has been sold out (on Westone site) for some time anyway.   And yes its too bad they both only have the one button rather than discreet buttons also for volume...

    1964 Ears

    Quote:   I also went with Heir 4.a  in part due to the price reduction.   I would have gotten 1964 V3 (or possible a universal like 232, ue900, 4.ai) if that sale did not come up.   From what I read, the Heir 4.a was a closer match to my desired sound signature than the 1964 V3...

    [NEWS / DISCUSSION / IMPRESSION] Phonak Audéo PFE232

    Quote:   I am also interested in the comparisons between the W4's and 232's.  The W4's are $100 less expensive, but with the addition of the $55 phone/mic/controller cable for the W4's which comes standard with the 232's, the W4's are only slightly less expensive than the 232's. So keep...

    I already lost my MH1c's i got last week, but they were really good and i want another set - can't bring myself to pay almost 50% more (at $27) than the $19 i paid originally!  but they are certainly worth the $30 compared with others in that price area from my limited experience.   EDIT...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    Joker,   I've ordered the Phonak 232's but they have not shipped yet.  I was able to get them for $450 delivered. Now I am reconsidering, and your input would be appreciated. .   The review you give the 1964-v3 makes them very tempting.    I chose the phonak's in part because they...

    purchasing now with paypal could provide insurance against price decreases for 30 days.  there are many exceptions (doorbusters, one-day sales, etc.) but this could be useful.   earphone solutions takes paypal, so presumably if they introduce a higher percentage off coupon within 30 days of...

    Quote:   Unfortunately I cannot say because I have not heard the RE-Zero.   However I had the same decision to make.  I purchased the MH1C because of the controller/mic and the fact that it was one-third the price ($20 vs. $60).  It was delivered a day or two after I ordered it with...

    Quote: Yes the UE900's appear very good - I'm debating between those and the Audeo PFE 232's... the 232's are better for my use I think - at the same price or even for $100 more than the UE900's, i'll take the 232's.  But I'm waiting another few weeks to see what happens on pricing on both...

    [REVIEW] Sony MH1 – The Best Kept Secret

    I received mine from Amazon ($19).  It has just the SONY identification (not ericson).  It controls my recent model android phone (sprints htc evo 4g lte).  i do use an app ("Headset Button") - not sure if that's needed or not but I can control play, pause, next, last, volume.  The microphone...

    ++PORTABLE/IEM RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ i.e. Don't start a new thread: ask for advice HERE! [Please read OP]

    Hi all, and thank you for all the great information (and opinions) on this site!   Bottom line is I'm looking for new buds, probably relatively high-end ($200-$500) with a microphone and control in-line.  Isolation is less important than audio quality, and probably want an very accurate...
