Hi guys,   I bought a pair of RE-Zero. The IEM is great, really good with my J3. However, and even if I was a bit careful, one side is "unsticked". I will send it back to Zococity for them to repair it but I'm a but angry about that situation. This is tipically the kind of situation I...

Hey guys,   I've read quite a bit on this site, a lot of the threads I read were quite older however. Just wondering if you guys could recommend me a set of IEM's for an airplane. Budget is around 100$. From what I read, the Etymotic MC5's look quite good, however, the lack of bass worries...

Hi.    It's nice to have time to get on head-fi again now that school's out. Sorry about another one of these threads, but I wasn't able to find a unified thread for IEM help (or I might just be terrible at searching, which is probably the reason). I'm looking for a pair of IEMs around $100...

I've been using an Earsonics SM3 for a year now and I am very happy with it. A firend of mine is to go into the IEM world with a budget of about 100 $ (130 $ max). He uses a 6th Gen Ipod Classic (un-rockboxable, so no EQ, just crappy presets). We need to get him neutral IEMs. I've used his Ipod...

Hi everybody! I'm new here. (as a member that is.)   Now i know there are countless threads on this topic but i'm hoping this one will be slightly different. after looking into those discussions i felt they were mostly personal favorites rather than pros and cons of the given subject. (don't...

(First, i would like to apologise for my english skills, as i'm not a native english speaking ) I'll take some lines to present my situation : better you know me, better you answer :)   Context : I'm looking for a nice pair of closed circum-aural cans with a 200€ max budget. It has to be...

I'm a guitar player, and my band is going to be recording an album at a friend's home studio.  We're going to be playing songs live, rather than doing overdubs, and there isn't a lot of separation.  We'll all be using headphones for monitors, and so I want to get a pair that will provide good...

Hello all,   I have been struggling to find my way through this audiophile's maze. However, I'm totally lost. All I want is clear, detailed, accurate, non-fatiguing, "non-leaking but tight bassed" music. I was using Bose Quietcomfort 3 which I bought during my ignorance era. Now I want to...

Got my HF3s in the mail this morning. I've been trying them out for a while, on the subway, etc. I love them. The highs are amazing, and I'm impressed with the amount of detail that I'm hearing. They're comfortable. I'm enjoying the foam tips, but I'm a bit worried about how long they'll work...

Looking for some advice from those who've used the Etymotic HF5 with custom earmolds -- specifically the "Custom Fits" from ACS that they offer, if possible.   Anyhow... I'm really fairly satisfied with the HF5 sound, but I've been less happy with the various sleeves I've tried.  Because the...

  Hey, first of all, I'd like to say that this is my first time posting on this forum, but I've been looking to find a new pair of headphones, but i don't really know where or how to look. That's why i came here. I know there are a ton of threads on the same topic, but i wanted to get...

I bought a pair of Yuin Pk1 Earbuds this summer because of the great reviews they received but after walking around with them, I cannot get them to fit right. I would like to find a pair of IEM's that has the same sound quality that the Pk1's produce.

Hey everyone,    looking to dish out some cash on some decent earphones instead of using the ones that came with my iphone. I listen to music daily so i thought it'd be a good idea to get some quality earphones..   I live in the UK, and i dont really wanna spend over £100, and dont...

I cannot choose an IEM for around USD150. There are way to many choices, so I'd like to hear your guys' opinions. I'm looking for an IEM under $150, it need high durability and build quality. I'd prefer a very balanced sound. It needs to have at least decent isolation. I was thinking of saving...

I've been researching possibilities but would appreciate advice specifically addressing what I'm looking for in consideration of what I'm accustomed to from the gurus here at Head-Fi! What I'm accustomed to is my Etymotic ER-6is and they're the only IEMs I can remember hearing (long story but I...

Hey!   Im really after your help in choosing in ear headphones! Unfortunately just last week i lost my current ones (A pair of Sennheiser Cx-300's) while i was at uni, so ive decided that its time for a decent upgrade on the ones i lost!   Now im going to be honest i dont really have the...

Hey guys,   I am looking into buying a pair of IEMs as a spare to supplement my ES3x. I don't wish to spend much, so i was thinking of anything below USD150.    I had the chance to listen to a pair of burnt in SE215's, and I do not really like the lack of fidelity and clarity of the 215...

So I have never bought a set of ear buds but the time has come. I'll be making a trip to Japan (14 hr flight) so that is the main reason. However, I want something I will use other than in the air. Working out ect. From reading here the er4p seem to be a front runner for nose reduction but...

Hello,     I have had Klipsh s4 for about a year now and i think i want to take a step up and get a more expensive pair of IE headphones. Im thinking of getting the Ultimate Ear 700 or the etymotic hf5. How do these compare to the klipsh or any other sub 150 IE headphone. I listen to a...

Hey all   so I am looking into getting a decent pair of IEMs, I currently user either my grado sr80i for portable use (open so useless on a train, but love the sound) or my skullcandy FMJ (RUBBISH sound).   I am aiming to spend about $200 USD.   I listen to mostly rock (60-70%)...

  Etymotic er4p (HF5) have similar/same driver with Audeo PFE?   Does anybody know if these two earphones have similar balanced armatures? I have a feeling from the measurements that they are quite similar...plus or minus the added impedance...   Similar electrical impedance and...

Hello again Head-Fi, its been awhile   About a year and a half ago I started a thread looking for some good starter IEMs and ended up buying the Radius HP-TWF11R Pro DDMs.  And I loved them!  I cared for them like a baby until about a month ago while I was at work my 7 month old knocked them...

Well, I'll first say that this is my first post on this forum. I wouldn't consider myself to be a hardcore audiophile, and don't want to buy many pairs of headphones. Instead, i'd rather just get 1 or 2 really good headphones that suit my needs. Anyways, I'm currently using Audio Technical ATH...

Hello everyone!   My 2nd pair of RE-ZERO crapped out on me shortly after the end of the warranty period. Therefore I am in the search for a replacement. I'd rather not buy another pair of RE-ZERO though, mainly due to concern over the build quality. After some research I am leaning towards...

I have a question for all you guys here that use / have used the HF5.  I bought these because of how they sound, and because I wanted maximum isolation for commuting etc.  The sound, as advertised, has been awesome!  But here's my issue:   If I use the gray triple flanges, they sound great...
