Hi fellow head-fiers, Since I remember myself in this hobby (which goes back almost 2 decades) I always listened through 'standard' headphones (dynamic/planar/electrostatic/closed-back/open-back etc.). Recently I've noticed the IEMs market is growing (obviously due to the availability of...

Im planning to buy a pair of ciem. i already searched headfi and I didn't find anyone comparing these 2 iems so i guess making a new thread might help.    I prefer the sound of lcd2s and I am currently using the se535, my complain is se535 has this mid bump that makes it really fatiquing after...

      Thought I'd give a heads up on some things I have on hand. I got these from Nocturnal Audio for evaluation a bit back but have been too busy to do much with them. The IEMs appear to be quite a value along with their really well priced cables. The copper cable here is the best pure...

Post pictures and/or videos/stills of recording artists, celebrities, sports figures, etc. wearing custom in-ear monitors (or non-IEMs as well) on stage or elsewhere.   Commentary is welcome, including, but not limited to, what brand of customs they're wearing, what have they worn in the past...

Hi all,   I've had SE535's for a while and had been using it with an iPod Classic.   Now I have a RWAK100  (modded Astell & Kern AK100) and find the sound stage to be a little to closed/intimate.   How much better can IEM's get than the Shure?   The JH13's are custom and expensive...

I currently own a pair of se535s and whilr the luscious mid range is to die for I can't help but want for a little more treble sparkle and a larger soundstage. I was wondering if ciems around the 500 dollars mark like jh5 and 1964 v3 could deliver. Also, how do these compare to full size phones...

Hi everyone!   I've encountered a problem I am not able to solve recently.   I sold two pairs of JH products to two buyers recently and I was informed by the reshell company that they have problems with their drivers. One side of the JH13 has problem with its bass driver while one side...

This is based on my experience. Having recently bought a pair of JH13fp. CIEM's. If you are reading this, the likelihood is that you were not able to do a bit of research on the internet, buy a pair of headphones and go of to happily listen to your music. Instead, like me, you probably bought...

  Oh, yes I did.     Now, let the comparisons begin.         I guess it would be hard to find many people that own all of them.  Please comment on which sounds the best even if you don't have all of them or own more than one on the list to do a comparison.    Thanks, SE

Hi guys, curious on the VE6 xc.  I've seen them mentioned on other threads but not much feedback.  The price is huge obviously but how do they compare on SQ for SE or balanced?  What about vs other TOTL iems like K10, UERM, Roxannes, JH13/16 etc? Pls post any feedback you have on these, thanks.

This is an issue that puzzles me.   I bought a JH13 Pro from JH Audio in 2009. When I called JH Audio a couple of years later to order a JH16, I was surprised to learn that though they had my ear impressions from my previous order, I'll have to send them a new set of impressions. When I asked...

I was dead set on apex glacier until I noticed some users were getting a bit of hiss noise some louder then others and for someone who sometimes listens to songs at lower volumes or have moments when nothings playing it really bothers me to have hiss noise. So are there any portable amps that...

OK. I think it's about time iems and ciems get their own thread on summit-fi section. With the new flagships like SE846, K3003, and IE800, it makes sense that there is a summit-fi thread for them.   As for iems and ciems, lets only discuss about $600+ iems.(I know that some iems under $600...

I'm looking for suggestions to be used during travel. 

Hi all. Travelling to Bangkok in the next few weeks. I have been there before but it was quite a few years back and I didn't really look at electronics, audio etc. So I'm not sure of pricing and ranges. Any stores people can recommend I visit with a good range? Would be looking at BA or...

Hi guys,   I'm new to the CIEM world. I've decided on getting the JH13 w/ freqphase as my first CIEM, and I'm quite interested in the possibility of getting them reshelled.    I have not been able to find many reviews with reshelled freqphases, so if you can provide your experience with...

What phone/IEM do you think gets you the closest to portable nirvana? T5p? JH13/JH16/Roxannes?  Focal Spirit Pro? NAD Viso HP50? Ultimate Ears Personal Reference Monitors? Other?   If posting an opinion, please also list the contenders you haven't heard and so can't consider.

Hello. These two amps would be used with the algorythm solo... I won't use the dac part of the glacier. I'd pair them with my miracles. What are the main differences in sound signature between these two amps? I haven't found any comparisons between the glacier and the pico slim... Thanks in...

Has anyone compared these two amps/dacs? I'm specifically going to be using them with the galaxy S4 and the JH Audio 13 pros.

I'm looking to upgrade my current 535 and I'm stuck between getting it molded to a custom and adding three drivers or selling my 535 and just getting a custom from JH, UM, Westone, or another company. Adding three drivers would be much simpler but by adding drivers I'd expect to get at least...

Craig at Whiplash has just come out with a new wire on his site called TWau Reference. I have been using TWag, TWag V2 and TWag V3 on all my headphones for the last several years and each new generation has brought improvements to the sound so I was very exited when Craig approached me about 4...

I'm still new into my headphone audiophile quest, and ready to take the next step. I went from years of Apple whiteys to a pair of Sennheisher HD 280s that I have had for the last two years or so. I really appreciated the increased detail I got from my music and feel a bit hooked on the whole...

Will be in Japan in a few weeks. I have a pair of recent JH 13's IEMs and listen to them via my iphone 4s much of the time. Also have an iPod Gen 5, but have yet to convert my flacs to ALAC (which I'd really rather not do... but will if I have to in order to get lossless material)   My...

So if you've seen some of my other posts, I'm here in Tokyo on vacation and was going to audition the Ortofon e-Q7 if I could among others. I like the IE8 I use with my Sony NW-X1060/BI, but they aren't the most comfortable IEMs. I did the turning upside down thing and switched the cable sides...
