Hi folks.  Let me freely admit that I come to this question with more than a casual interest.  My firm designs and installs custom listening and viewing environments in homes.  Joining this site has led to a brainstorm with my partner about how to help our clients understand what sort of sound...

Hey all,   I recently lost a pair of Klipsch X10s in Cambodia and decided that the day has come to graduate to a higher echelon of auditory enjoyment. I've spent 3.5 billion hours hunched over my computer reading Head-Fi and some other sites, especially the multi-IEM review, to find the best...

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...

My understanding is that most IEMs already sound good unamped, but out of my curious mind I'd wish to know if there are cases of otherwise. I have a 2nd hand d10 on the way so I'd want to audition some good pairs one day...

Hi, I don't have much experience with Japanese IEMs except Fitear TG334.  I know there are lots of threads about Japanese iems, but I think it's better for me to ask those that have lots of experience with them to rank them and list them.   So, can you rank Japanese iems you have tried from...

Hello Head-Fiers,   After being together with my lovely 'Audio Technica CK10' for just over a year they died   I think the fault is with the cabling, and the other problem with it is the wear on the housing. I do intend to re-house them if I could find someone that can do it (currently...

I'm quite new to the hobby, having few experience with IEMs (owned 7 and heard a bit more than 10, most mid and low-fi), so maybe I can't provide the most detailed description, neither compare them to other top-tier IEMs. Forgive any grammar errors, I'm pretty poor at writing. Forgive my lack...

EDIT: I will be doing only a review for the UM3X as I no longer have it on my person. However, I will still be able to compare the EX1000 and CK100 before my EX1000 goes bye-bye. And finally, there will be an addition to this thread later this week... ;)   For whatever reason, I haven't...

Which IEM is better CK10 or CK100, I want to buy one of these IEMs I know the CK10 is considered and alltime best, and i wonder if it's worth it at $290 or should I just splurge on a CK100 for $450?

Okay so it has been a bad week. I lost my adored UM3X on a taxi ride... and my backup RE0's left stopped outputting sound and after emailing Head-Direct the day before I still haven't received a reply.   I'm not very sad about the RE0 because I didn't really like it, but I love the UM3X. I...

Looking to pick up a set of Around Ear for under $200.  I like cans to have a good bump in bass, but not overkill ("Dre's").  I am very interested in comfort this time around.  [If Bose AEs sounded good, they would be my choice].  What would be some opinions on this question:  V-Moda Cross LP...

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...

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...

Sorry, if this is a repost, I'm new to this forum! I've been thinking about buying some earbuds/in-ear headphones/IEMs. I did my research and found these three headphones to be my best options. My only problem is I'm not sure which one to buy. Some of the factors I will be considering: Build...

I already have the Shure SE535LTD and they sound amazing for acoustic music but they flop when it comes to busy passages and sound terrible for some genres. So now I'm looking for something "different" that would compliment my shures. Does anyone have any recommendations?   Already got these...

I've been using a pair of Ultimate Ears UE600 for the last 6 months or so, and I'd like an upgrade. I like the detail in the UE600, but the soundstage feels a little lacking for me, and I'd like something with a more prominent bass when I listen to rock music. I'm generally looking for something...

As usual, a newbie coming to the forums asking for advice. I've rolled with Creative's EP 630s for about four years now, and when the last pair broke, I decided to try some other in-ears. I went to try two other pairs (both Philips), but they just aren't for me. I've always liked the 630s...

I lost my Shure 535 which is very sad.  So, I though I might try look at some other high end earphones.   I liked the mids of the Shures, but thought they lacked a little in the base.   Can people let me know what other earphones I should consider.   I was thinking the IE8, but i know there...

Cheesy title and naturally occurring spelling mistakes aside, this earphone is THE ONE. While I prefer to use customs, the CK100 does everything as closely as I can imagine to customs. What I mean is that it is: comfortable, strong, well-built, has a !snap! cable, is light, and sounds good...

Hi guys, I've being a long time reader of this excellent forum but recently just joined and this is my first post. I'm very much a newbie and I feel I'm slowly wanting to start this audiophile journey.    Just wondering if I can have some help on getting a new pair of IEM's. I'm looking to...

The new Audio Technica's Triple Driver IEM - ATH-CK100 has been out for quite sometime. However there are very little reviews or impressions here in head fi, mostly because of other attractive options like the Sennheiser IE8 and the Westone 3. Seeing how little people owns this IEM in head fi, I...

wanted to know which one these produces the accurate sound plus the highs lows and mids i need to get it by this week pl recommend i will will be using it with my ipod touch 3rd gen without amp. thanks...

Hey guys I will probily go with a dynamic driver but some names have got my attention Some of them seem to have some bass!!! I am a basshead trying to convert to less of one and a bassy ba IEM might just be my solution Thanks

I lost my left original rubber tip on a plane earlier this weekend, so I'm looking for replacement.   I was honestly okay with the standard rubber tips -- does anyone know where I can get replacements? I saw that audiocubes sells tips for the ck-7, but I'm not sure if those will fit the CK10.
