What would you guys recomend for the HF5? Complys, Shure's olives, or the new etymotic gliders? i already own the olives, but was thinking of getting either the gliders or Complys.

I'm sure this question may have been raised before, but the reason I ask is because you can get the HF2's on Amazon for around £65 (and the HF5's for about £70) and on release the RRP of the HF2's was much higher.   I don't currently own an iPhone, but will the sound controller/microphone on...

seems like everyone likes the pfe , how is it in comp with ety hf5 , shure e5 or westone u2?   is there any pics of the freq response? would the pfe be a step up from the hf5?

Ok to start out I am looking at 1964 Customs and they look ideal for the price being customs. Here's the problem, I am only 16 right now and I am thinking that my ears will still be developing. Will my ears still be changing at this age? If so I am thinking that customs wouldn't be for me...

Is it important for rock/trance? thx - I googled and read through the first entry but couldn't make much sense of it

Hello.   I have a dilemma here: I'm not sure whether, for my Samsung P3, I should acquire a pair of ER-4Bs or ER-4Ps. I've seen reviews of both, but I don't understand if the ER-4Bs can actually do well on a portable device (I know the 4Ps can...), but I've read that they have even more...

My iPod along with my ER-6i's got stolen recently. I will be buying the new Classic 120GB and I am also looking for new IEM's. I was pretty happy with the 6i's. I am wondering if I should spend almost twice the amoung and go for the 4P's. I am concerned about the output level, seems to be a...

Hi all,   Was wondering if adding a P-S coverter to the HF5 will have the same effect as adding P-S coverter to the ER4p since they use the same drivers.

Ive been wanting to get a nice pair of IEMs for a while now and since my HD555s broke yesterday now would be a good time.  Im looking for something better sounding then my HD555s.  Sound wise i want something warm, detailed and easy to listen to.  Finally price around $100 would be awesome but...

I never heard an Etymotic earphone before but i like analytical sound signatures. My only earphone is my Audio Technica CK7 which I love alot.   I also have the Sennheiser PX100 folding portable headphone. Great for portability but  if their is a complaint it would be the sound is a little...

Yeah not feeling very imaginative on the thread title.   I have:   Senns CX500s: bassy Klipsch S4s: good value Etymotic HF5s: bright and clear Super Fi.5 v2: fun   The IE7s actually bring the best out of everything. Soundstage is very, very good. Sometimes I forget I have...

Short version:   What to buy for good mid-high range? Availability in Sweden/Europe is a large plus. So far I've been looking at ER-6i (too "old"?), HF5 (good?) and RE0 (Not available in Sweden -> No warranty?). What is the verdict about choosing between this ones? Looking at price and...

Hello!  First off I'd like to say that I'm sorry for making another one of these threads.  I did search, but could find all the information I needed.   I'm looking for a pair of headphones around $100 but preferably less.  I will be using these headphones at home so it will be fine if they...

I am looking for an accurate iem. Something that will represent my recordings the way it was meant to heard.   My budget is $200. Accuracy!   I am currently looking at the Etymotic MC5 and the Etymotic H5F.   Please any input would be appreciated. Please feel free to suggest any...

Well I finally got back to Lux so I got my HF5s today. First impressions:   1) Packaging is very, very nice. Comes with a nice nylon case, a lot of tips (2 x triple flanges, foams and mushrooms (no other way to describe these really :s), a filter remover and an extra set of filters. Very...

So, I managed to put my NE-7M through both the washer and dryer. They did not survive the trip. That puts me in the market for a new set of IEMs, and I'm in need of some recommendations. Currently, my source is an un-amped 2G iPod nano. I listen to a wide variety of music. I'm going to be using...

anyone who got both?

Since both are single BA drivers, will the PL50 sound approach the HF5? My impression of the PL50--silky midrange, rolled off highs and lows. I have the S4, Denon C751 and IE6, but i cannot explain why i am always getting back to the PL50.   Will the HF5 offer the same quality midrange and...

Anyone know where I can pick up some MC5's locally from a brick and mortar store?   I recall Fry's used to sell them, but I could no longer find them. I'm in the SF Bay Area.   Thanks!

  Recently bought a new 7th gen iPod classic 160Gb and decided to get to an IEM to pair with it. Reading the positive comments here and other sites went for the Etymotic HF5. This is my first step into the IEM word and I am disappointed. For some years I use Denon AH-D2000 as full size can...

People seem to be loving the Etymotics IEMs, but I want to know where they stand lined up next to other IEMs in their respective price ranges. I may jump on the 6i train, but others seem to love hf5 and the ER4. How well do each of these IEMs stack up against their price range competition?

I'm looking for a pair of IEM's for my iphone. I'm mainly listening to music dominated by bass (dance, electronica, dubstep etc) and need some advice on which set to buy. I've been looking at westone UM2's, Etymotic hf2/5's, Jay q-Jays to name a couple. Can anybody recommend which are best...

Hey all,   I'm looking for a way to obtain the maximum degree of isolation offered by an IEM as cheaply as possible. This is not for me but for my mom: we share a very intense need to just block out the misbehaving vehicles, crying babies and tasteless street live music that populate our...

I have been looking to get a new pair of IEMs and have narrowed down my search to a few but I cannot make up my mind on which pair to get.  I listen to a lot of different genres of music (mainly alternative and electronica) and I would like them to have decent bass, but what I am really looking...

Has anyone tried this? Impressions would be nice:).
