As stated in the title, looking for a new set of high end iem`s to replace my phonak pfe 232`s (isolation was not sufficient for my lifestyle, my source didn`t play well with them). I am looking for iems that have good isolation and clarity whilst maintaining a relatively minimal build size as I...

after 1 year of regular usage, my ATH CK10 broke down, doesnt cover the warantee.   Im trying to find an iem that offers the same amount nor better Clarity and quality bass that CK10 Possesses, the superb Isolation, and of course the price. Preferred: Treble clarity is important, Mids i...

Hey everyone, I've been on the hunt for a new pair of IEM's since I lost my ck10's that I bought from a member here years ago.   - Favorite IEM's: ATH-CK10 - - Source: smart phone (Galaxy s4), but open to considering something like Fiio x series - - Music: EDM, Dubstep, classic rock...

Rooth demos: the evaluation of Rooth lineup – liquid clarity     What seems like a long time ago I bought a LS8 directly from Rooth in China and in recent months Rooth has directed me to talk with Tomo from HFI International in Japan, so we got to talking.  Tomo informed me there were...

I'm trying to figure out which kind of tips I have that I really like so I can buy extra pairs. The main issue is I love the small silicone tips that come with the CK100Pros because they offer me the best fit when on my TDK BA200s, but I'm getting rid of the CK100Pros! Where can I buy these same...

I read many threads, reviews and feedbacks about IEMs considering I'm looking for a pair for the gym and it seems that they all fail. It's just a matter of time, even if you are careful. So a majority of people end up buying the cheapest pair they can find and replace them once they break.  ...

It is quite obvious that In-ears are lacking in build quality.   I have used /or seen some one use IEM and their average life span is around 1.5 years. My current IEMs, Hifiman RE-400, claimed to be the 'Waterline', have also started to wear off in a short period of time.   IEMS that have...

  I received a set of DITA - The Answer (Truth Edition) from the designers in late October.   My first impressions were very positive but I wanted to give them a bit time to `loosen up`.   There are two choices of DITA `The Answer` and `The Answer - Truth edition`. The difference is in the...

New stuff. Red is in. (Many of the below are available in black, white, and red.) ATH-900Ti: (52,500 yen) ATH-DWL5000: (120,750 yen) ATH-CK10: (37,800 yen) ATH-SQ5: (9,975 yen) ATH-FC700: (6,300 yen) ATH-ANC3: ATH-CKM50:

I am sure you already know all about the Monster Cable Turbine Pro Copper IEM and what it comes with (if you don't, it is easy to find) so this comparison review is only a sound quality/presentation comparisons of the Copper vs. many other high-end IEMs. I tried to use a wide selection of genres...

Hi, this is my first review here. I am a noob at this, but I will try to keep everything short, simple, and to the point. Please read this first before you continue: This comparison is subjective since I am basing it off what I am hearing. What I hear and what others hear can be completely...

My first proper review on Head-Fi - please be kind :) (sorry about the crappy pictures in advance) Kept the review short so happy to answer questions in the thread. Background: I have been an audio enthusiast for about 10 years now. Living in India, access to quality audio hardware has...

Now I'm thinking I should purchase a pair of audiophile earphones for on-the-go listening, possibly in addition to a pair of cans. I'm looking for audiophile buds that cost $150 or less, have good noise isolation, and are good for listening to classic rock. Any suggestions would be great!

From reviews the ATH-CK10's have exceptional trebles and mids, but the bass is lacking. There must be an earphone out there that has the trebles of the CK10's but the bass of another earphone ? like more textured, deeper and profound bass, this would be the perfect IEM for me ! thanks if u can...

I am having a hard time choosing between these models.The first two area really hard to find, but I found a seemingly reputable store that sells them (seyo-shop), and now that I have access to all three, I dont know what to do. I listen to pretty much every kind of music, and I am looking for...

Now I own 1 pair of ATH-CK10's and one pair of Turbine Coppers. The problem is the turbines are unopened, in box, still sealed.    Do i sell the Turbines? Do I open them?   These are the only IEM's i own, so would it be worth it do keep the coppers as spares until my ATH-CK10's get lost...

Yes, yet another one. But here is the twist: no Triple.Fi and no ER4. Ha! ;) I am looking for a neutral IEM with good detail and nice treble, basically just as my K701. A little more bass than the AKG bass would be ok. As stated above, the Triple.Fi doesn't work for me since I have rather small...

hello i was lead to this site because of all the wealth of knowledge about headphones ,iem ect.. i am very virgin about it all but have been doing some reading here and other sites i have a budget of max 400$ i listen to all types of music im not a bass head but i would like to hear the song...

Recently got the Westone 4R for this purpose. But while they're comfortable normally, they still put a sharp pressure on my outer ear when I lay my head sideways on my pillow. Seems I just need a smaller IEM. Right now, I'm looking at the ATH-CK10. They're extremely small and there's almost...

Hi guys, I've been wanting to get a new IEM since my last one (audio tech ATH-CKS77) broke last week. I am presented with these choices: SONY XBA-3, SHURE SE425,ATH-CK10, FA DBA-02 MKII given that my budget is 440SGD (360USD). I listen to mainly pop, alternative rock and a little of everything...

hi, i recently put my ultimate ears tf 10s through the wash so i need some more headphones.   i had these before logitech bought the company. i loved the sound signature with prominent top end   should i get the same phones again (considering they are under logitech now) or go for...

tl;dr   My beloved ATH-CK10 are broken after just a year and can't be fixed or replaced under warranty thanks to some ridiculous requirements from AccessoryJack. What do I replace them with?   I also recommend you avoid buying from AccessoryJack. If you take the plunge, be sure to keep...

My beloved ER4s died and I'm in search mode. I loved the clean details and the isolation in noisy work environments the 4s gave. I used a Xin Macro 4 with bass boost and got outstanding performance for the cost of the etys. So in the $300 range, suggestions to consider that would let me remove...

Longtime lurker here. My beloved CK10's bit the dust recently, and I'm wanting to make the move to a pair of headphones as I am about to start working from home and portability isn't as much of a concern, though a massive set of cans is not desirable. I listen mostly to folk, folk rock, and...

Up to this point, Audio Technica CK10s were the best fit I could find for my somewhat small ears. Can you guys tell me if the current Shure IEM line are all the same size, and if so, how big/small they are to other IEMs at the moment? I may just grab the 215s from Amazon to check fit, then...
