Hey there, I'm a newbie in head-fi (1st post/thread/activity here!), and I would like to receive some input regarding high-end universal IEM.   First of all, I'm not a hardcore audiophile, nor am I very knowledgeable about IEMs in general, I'm just a casual listener who wants to step up and...

I have come to just 2 options for my actual iBasso D12. After reading a lot I have not quite get the idea onto which one I would really like more, the Westone 4R or the Sony EX1000. Testing is not an option in my country and return back not even in dreams. It's going to be a request at a third...

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...

Cosmic Ears HY3XB CIEM Review   Introduction:   Cosmic Ears showed up and not to long ago on Head Fi and I thought, hmmm is this just another CIEM company but after a little look on their website etc, it did seem that they mean business.  Well, of all the new CIEM brands seemingly popping...

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...

Wow, I haven't been on the forum for a while - the IEM market looks like it really filled out over the last few years.     My story is that I originally had the Shure E2c and shortly after the E4 came out around 2005 (2006?), I upgraded to those.  About every year or so, the sound in one of...

Hello,   Several years ago I bought a pair of Shure SE420's. While I'm pretty ok with them (lacking some bass imo) I'm considering replacing them with some higher end IEM's. The Westone 4's currently have most of my attention.   But I wonder: is the difference in sound clearly...

Hello Head-Fi community,   I'm looking for custom IEMs <$350 <$850 that fit my requirements. Here's a little more about what I am looking for in my IEMS-   -Build Quality: I want these in ears to last as long as possible, forever maybe, as I won’t be changing IEMs for a long time. I take...

Hi, I'm a newbie in the head-fi community, but I did have some experience with good universal IEM's such as the UE Triple Fi 10. Currently, these guys have gone into repairing, and I'm planning to use them for at least one more year. Meanwhile, I'm looking at the new flagship IEM's that are...

Over my audio journey, I've tried many different earphones in an attempt to find the perfect sound signature for me.   However, I've come to a sudden realisation: I just want fun! I want an earphone that'll allow me to tap my feet and feel good. I don't listen to music that requires ultra...

***Update*** Date has been changed to Saturday, November 3rd, 2012. Sorry about that.   OK, here it is, finally!   ***Update*** I have confirmed a location and time for the meeting:   The meet will be from 11:00am until 4:30pm on Saturday, November 3rd.   The meet will be held...

Am considering Grado GR10, B&W C3, Paradigm E3m & Thinksound MS01.   Any others I should consider?   TIA - Rich

The proliferation of all things headphone related over the last several years absolutely blows my mind.  It seems there are new players getting into the game each and every month, making it confusing even for folks who've been 'round these neck of the woods for more than a minute about potential...

Dear Head-Fellows   These are my impressions from the brief auditions I've done at the Headzones stall from NAS'12 UK which took place over the last weekend on the 22nd & 23rd of September. Please do take my comments with a grain of salt as always as these are solely my opinions thus the...

Hi everyone, first post on the forum, so completely novice on all things head-fi related..  I currently have Shure's SE315's and Monster Turbine Pro Copper's. The 315's I've had for roughly 2 years have great build quality, seem really durable so far and I like the detachable cable option...

In the same price range between $300 and $500.

They have served me well for about 10 years!  But at last one of the ear pieces is going in and out, so I'm going to replace them with another set of IEMs.  Here's what I want from the new set:   1) They must be universal-fit IEMs because my wife, a couple of friends, and I like to listen to...

Hey! I was wondering, I was considering to get a new pair of in-ears, and I have a pretty specific music curve. I like my bass a little extended, a standard midrange, and a strong but not overpowering treble (Like a U-shaped curve, but more on the treble than the bass, but not by too much. I...

Hello folks,   Just wondering, if you were upgrading from a Westone4, what would you go for ? and why ?   I was toying with the idea of the Grado GR10, the Audeo Phonak 232 or the Shure 535, maybe not as an upgrade, but more for a different sound signature.   Thanks for your input !

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a new headphone in the $400 - $500 range. I really like bass - mids - treble (in this order), or at least that's what I think. I really liked my modded D2000's, so I might buy one with Lantinen cups back. Unless there are really good headphones that beat them by a...

Hi everyone.   I'm looking for an upgrade from my Westone 3. Will be using this with S9 or my iPod classic 120 6g but I dont know which amp...   Open to other suggestions.   Thanks, Leon

Hey guys,   I was wondering, do all IEM's feel (kind of) the same? I had a pair or MMDT, but I couldn't wear those for more than an hour, because it would hurt. I was considering the Heir Audio 4.Ai, but I don't know if IEMs are simply not for me due to the comfort?   Thanks! Jimmy

After reading through reviews of many earphones, it seems like a lot of them have a high bass level. Bass always gives me a headache after listening to it for a few minutes. I was wondering if there are high quality earphones with little to no bass, that produces clear, accurate sound?

Hey im looking for some in ear headphones for under 300$. Now that doesn't mean it has to be the best 300$. For example is their some headphones for 100$ that are pretty close to 250$ Ill take the 100$ all day.   Now ill be running with them some so Ill need them to be able to stay in my ear...

Greetings, fellows. I've been reading a lot recently about the new stuff coming out this year, and well, I was about to get the Shure S535, but I found some reviewers that point out that the bass perhaps is not as powerfull.    Still, they're my best option right now. Behind those, I would...
