    Are there any good hi-output earphones out there.

    basically IEMs that sound truly loud when used with a smartphone. bass impact is definitely a plus but not necessary, I mostly listen electronic / dance type music.

    Are there any good hi-output earphones out there.

    I am looking for earphones that are fun sounding with a lot of impact. All the ones I have are starting to feel too clinical.    Currently own: EX1000 (too clean),  X10 Klipsch (distort too quickly), UE700 (not enough sound pressure)

    whats amps do laptop internal speakers use.

    I was just wondering about what kind of amps do internal laptop speakers use. Specifically the macbook retina speakers, I find them remarkably usable for casual listening and it seemed that the internal DAC power might not be enough by itself to drive such volume levels.   Let me know your...

    I discovered swan m50w and instantly fell in love with them, so I decided to go the 2.1 route.

    V-moda fell a bit too steam punk looking for my taste. Thank you for your recommendation though.

    Need Sub $300 headset recommendations.

    I am looking to buy some headphones that are comfortable to wear and are fun to listen. My main interests are Klipsch one, Phiaton MS400, Bose OE2, Bowers M5 and px-200i I know these are pretty main stream but thats because I have bought AKG K 240's based on the reviews but I don't use them...

    Most comfortable earphones.

    Hi guys, I was wondering which armature based earphones are the most comfortable to use for a long period of time. I am talking about only the physical aspect but suggestions about sound tolerance and fatiguing are also welcome. superfi-4 with sony hybrid tips are very comfortable for me...

    Wow I washed my SCL4, now it sounds like crap

    place it in a light stand maintaining distance from the bulb and nozzles pointing upwards for about 24 hrs, they'll be fine.

    All my iems are harsh?

    this song is probably the harshest one in my library. I am sorry I couldn't find an english song from the top my head. the female voice at the beginning of the song has very bad whistle effect. Andala Meghamala.mp3

    They are still harsh guys. I guess it's just how they operate.

    Klipsch Image (X-10) and Sadness

    I think that s4 is a good choice too but nothing can replace the bragging rights and good looks of the x10. that said, I owned the X10 for a while but I hated the sound signature of it but s4 seems quite worth it's price.

    Who makes the ADDIEM?

    good question, i was wondering about that too. as far as my experience goes I haven't heard that sound signature from any manufacturer I've tried.

    All my iems are harsh?

    I used foams for a while with my atrios but I was very unhappy with all the rinsing I had to do to keep them even barely clean but i never thought of using foamies for these, i'll get some comply tips and see if it smooths up. Quote: Originally Posted by mvw2 You might want to try...

    TSC IE 5 Impressions.

    Hello josh, it's good to see you here. IEMs in my opinion can match the sound signature you are looking for, quite well. try a pair of sony ex-300's or klipsch s4i from bestbuy they have a 30 day return policy so you can return them if you don't like them. Quote: Originally Posted...

    I use super-fi4, 5 pro and jays-d IEM's on a regular basis. I wanted to try something new and got apple iems to try out. First I hated them for no-existant mid-bass and in-efficience but after a while of quiet listening I started to like them quite well. they have the sweet hi-end, down to earth...
