1. I'm very confused between these two companies . The wizard is a part of both of them? Or he's a part of only Noble now ? In this case whose doing the CIEM in Heir Audio ?    2. I'm looking at 8A from Heir Audio & 8C from Noble both are priced the same , but 8C is a refined version of 8A? ...

Disclaimer: This is only my second time writing a review, so please pardon me if it ain't professionally done, I'm just trying to provide my personal opinion of these CIEMs so that the public would have an additional reference.     To allow you to understand my point of view, I guess it...

Hi All, This is my first post on head-if, hello Everyone! I have been reading a lot on the forum, but now I come to you all with a question as to which you all woud think is the best solution for me. I would like a setup for international airplane travel that provides the best sound quality...

Hi guys, i've been lurking in the forums for quite some time. Finally deciding to take the plunge to get a pair of customs. I currently own a tf10 and kinda like its sound signature and i mainly listen to songs off my trusty ipod (mainly 320kbps mp3s, pop, rock, alt rock genre).    I live in...

Hi everyone   Right now, I have owned a pair of D7k for 2 years already. So, I want to try a CIEM that have the similar sound with D7k so that I can carry around when I'm traveling. Carrying a huge fullsize headphone on the neck is very painful and uncomfortable.   I wonder if anyone can...

Is there anywhere to demo these bad boys?   Very happy with my 4.As, they're the gateway drug that put me on the path to wallet destruction.   Thanks.

I think I'm ready to dive into the world of customs! This is my first custom IEM (coming from universals) so I'm hoping to be surprised. Price limit is $2000, because I don't have that much money to spend, and I profit by selling TF2 unusual hats. Here's a little bit more about my usage and the...

Hi all As my venture into Custom IEMs continues, these two now have my attention. I was set on the ES5 until I saw the new promotional price of the 8.A, which put them in the same price category. As much as I want to own them both, my wallet doesn't allow such a purchase, at least for now. So to...

I did not see a Recomendations thread, so I started this one. My story:   Used Etymotics ER6 and then HF5 for years...really love their sound, except that I find the bass lacking.   So when the cord on my HF5 starts fraying, what do I do?   I buy the Future Sonics Atrio MG7, because...

Hello people of head fi I'm the proud owner of the ie80s however as my dad has found love for them I am interested in looking at new possibilities and maybe going down the custom route for a new pair of in ears. I use my iphone 5 64gb for music all the time without any amp and my music taste is...

Hi,   I'm in the market for a good CIEM for classical music. I'm about to close the deal in a pair of Heir 8A but would really like to hear some sugestions.   I currently own an Etymotic ER-4 and a Triple-Fi with the Etys been my favorites.   As a source, I'm going to pair it with my...

Hello to all mates out there,   Currently i am holding on to my UM3X RC with Twag v2. I'm thinking of upgrading to other iems, Considered Heir4a, 8a, Jh11, 16 PRO, W4R.   Im very attached to the reference sounding of Um3x hoping to upgrade to similar signature our there.   Any advice...

I know there are a number of threads around about this topic, but I have a specific question.   I'm very close to pulling the trigger on my first custom IEM purchase and I've narrowed the selection down to the following options I think:   UM Miracle JH13 JH16 Heir 8.A   I love...

Hi everyone   I already owned a JH16 and s shure 530x6. But,Recently, I was impressed by the reviews of the A8, merlin and miracle, so I'm currently saving money to buy 1 of these 3 in this december.   I prefer a warm sound signature with bass enhanced, a neutral mid like JH16 because I...

I appreciate all the hard work in writing reviews/photographings iems. Especially kunlun and project86. Thanks for your time + words! Many others that I have not named as well...   Anyways, I have 8.a's on the way. They will be my first quality pair of iems and I was wondering about grabbing...

Alright guys, need some opinion on these two as i've never auditioned any of them.   Which would fair more in terms of overall?   I am basely a Alternative rock listener

Most $$Cash$$ you've ever spent on a pair of cans?

What companies offer recessed sockets on their high end I.e. jh16. Heir 8.a miracle etc... I am hard on my current set and seem to break a pin every year.

All,   I'm back from my regular 2-3 year hiatus from this board.  My last incursion brought me the JH16Pros (to replace SE530s which replaced UE10s which replaced every other headphone in/out production in 2004) and Sennheiser MX980s (which replaced broken Yuin PK1s which replaced my...

i have a small war that im fighting in my mind. on one side the ie80 on the other the entry level heir audio custom.   HELP!

Custom IEM Review: Heir Audio 8.A – Long live the king     Heir Audio was started by Dr. John Moulton, who has been involved in the hearing industry since childhood.  Before starting Heir Audio, Dr. Moulton would post images of custom IEMs he created, all with amazing artwork and became...
