Hello all :)   I have a so called "problem"   it all started with my sansa clip getting stolen, together with my Shure se210's   so i need a new pair of IEM's and a MP3 player   MP3 player is prety much decided to be cowon j3 32gb with an 16gb microSD   but the headphones is...

Hi,   I'm about to upgrade my portable audio equipment, mainly because I'll be traveling around the world a lot for then next many months and can't take my stationary setup with me.   Anyway, my primary IEM on the go is the PFE running from my iPhone 3GS or MacBook, i want to improve the...

Is going from the RE0s to the DBA-02 much of an upgrade?  I like the RE0s, but I keep feeling like something is missing...the sound signature is a little too one sided.  When I listen to jazz, I need to hear the walking bass a little more than the RE0s give - would the DBA-02s offer that?   ...

Hello guys, I read all about iem but i can't find answer. I have an imod with ibasso D4. And i am trying to find best iem for jazz and classical. Seperation and soundstage is also too important for me and i will listen it at hospital or outside. So isolation is important too. Let's say...

Hi all. So here's my dilemma I have the UM2 and the E4c, and have for what seems a long while. I'm looking for an upgrade and these (SM3 or SE535) can run me about the same amount of money. So which one?   I listen to mostly acoustic music... Classical (early), Jazz (standards), folk...

Whilst I'm very happy with the current X1060 and SM3 combination, I am wondering if it would get even better, with the addition of a portable amp?   I don't want to spend any money on an amp if there is little/no benefit, but as I have never owned, or even tried an amp, I'm asking for some...

As Title,  I'd like to know which portable amp could be a good choice with the Tec and the sm3. Is the neco soundlab dual amp v2 a good DAC considering the low price?   Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone,   My name is Aldis and im new to this forum.  As im pretty new to the world of high end audio I'm looking for some advice on what IEM or closed headphone would suit me best as there seem to be so many good choices. The only real experience ive had with any quality headphone has...

Ok, so I haven't gotten a ton of input on the SM3 vs. the other phones I was considering, the JH-5s, but I figure since the SM3 is universal might as well give it a try first and then if it's not my cup of tea I can go for the customs.   Soooo... what's the cheapest/least hassle place to...

The Dynalo I've been using has been wonderful up until I got my Westone UM3X's, and now my Earsonic SM3's.  With these IEM's there's a quiet, but audible hum that I've never noticed with any other headphones (full size or IEM).  Perhaps my last couple IEM's are just more sensitive than the amp...

I want to purchase In-Ear monitors but I am stuck on what to choose. My budget is under $350.00 and I listen to mostly Techno, Hip Hop, Rap, R&B etc. I love bass. I also perfer to get iPhone controls on the wire if possible. Here is what I am looking at: Monster Turbine Pro Copper or...

Iv been thinking about getting the sm3's but im worried that i wont get the most out of the iem with the eartips they supply. What would be the most comfortable and produce the best sound quality without buying customs?

Hi   Not sure if anyone out there can answer this, but after reading all the positive audio quality comments about the J3, I'm debating selling my Classic and Arrow amp to fund a J3 purchase.   I'd be using it with my SM3 iems, ampless, and can live with the lower storage capacity if...

Two questions:   1. Which is a better sound quality for my buck?  Earsonics SM3 or JH Audio JH5s?  In terms of comfort and fit, I don't prefer customs right now - they don't necessarily feel more comfortable to me than universal, and I don't want to deal with the ordering / fit hassle.  So...

I'm new to the forums and am trying to soak up as much info as I can. However, after reading through the first 3 pages (and some searches), I couldn't find anything that addressed my issue, so I thought I'd give a new post a try. Some background I love bass. I listen to a lot of electro and...

I am in search for something beyond(hopefully for the better) what I have experienced with IEMs.  I have tried RE0, TF10, and currently SE530 is my main IEM.  I am still hungry for something better because so far nothing has even come close to my HD650 interms of sound quality.  I am aware there...

Just wanted to see what every ones preferences would be in various price ranges shown below.  Please inform us as to what IEM you would select, not out of what Ive chosen.....but your own personal choices.  I will go ahead and start with my choices.   (retail price)   $0-$30......  JVC...

SE530,IE8, Radius DDM, and the Earsonics SM3.  How are they on vocal sibilance?  I hate vocal sibilance by the way.  Also, I am looking for highly sensitive(no amp required) highly isolated IEMs that gets as close to HD650(very low sibilance) as possible.  I already have the SE530, and wondering...

  I've just completed a review of the great Earsonics SM3, a professional universal monitor and would like to opine briefly about their well-fed, expensive brother, the EM3Pro. I have a preview of the EM3Pro here with pictures (I hate to give Huddler asset rights to my flickr account).  ...

How would an un-amped, Rockboxed 4th Gen iPod sound with the Earsonics SM3s? Can the player perform well enough to make the SM3s sound as amazing as they were intended to? Or do I need to get a later gen iPod?   Thanks!

Hello, I've just ordered the earsonics SM3 and i'm looking for the best mp3 player that i can get with an average budget of 300€/350$.   You are very welcome to give your suggestions!  

How can I make a vote? It's strange this question hasn't came up before. At least, to my Google search.

Click here for Earsonics SM3 in Review: 2010's Star Child pictures and full review.   I've had the SM3 for... 2,5 months, so this review is not only late, but comes holding the hand of experience AND enthusiasm.   The bottom line: the SM3 is well-worth it. It sounds great, is easy to...

This is a casual look at the idea of headphone size versus the sound that this size portrays.  I am looking only at a small selection here, what I have available, but each are well respected products and each at a similar level of performance.  So, does size matter?   The contenders: AKG...

So, I am looking to find a pair of Custom IEM's on here. But I am also wondering whether or not it is possible that they would fit? I mean by fit, not my personal ears, but if they would at least go in, until I raise enough money to get them remolded. I understand I would not be getting the...
