Honestly I've never been that big of a fan of earbuds and in-ear stuff, but I'm starting to miss the portability of my old ibuds. I LOVE my m-50s, listen to them at least 6 hours a day now, but they're bulky and only semi-portable. I also had a teacher ask me to put them away the other day...

My pair of SE530's finally died on me after 3-4 yrs of constant use... I must admit I've been trying to find a replacement for quite a while now. I love their rich creamy midrange and smooth top end (i'm not looking for critical analysis while walking around...) But lamented the lack of...

AND CAN'T WAIT TO RECEIVE THEM!! :))))

Well, my Shure 210s are slowly (quickly) falling apart on me so I'm looking into investing into a new set of earbuds. So far my recommendations from others have been: Ortofon EQ-7 Sennheiser IE8s Klipsch Image X10s Etymotic ER4Ps UE Triple Fi Pros Audio Technika CK10s Monster...

Hi folks,   Are these "still" the best the company offers? Have phones in this bracket progressed or is there a new kid on the block? Still have my IE8`s but do miss the X10`s for just the shove in your ear and bingo. (sold here) Stu

Hi all, I am wondering if someone can give me the most basic instructions possible regarding how decipher matching an amp to headphones and vice versa in other words, various headphones are rated in things like ohms, resistance, milevolts or mileamps or milewatts.. (clearly i dont know what...

Hello everyone,   I guess I've reached a crossroads. I previously owned the Shure SE210 and was very happy with the fit, though I felt it was lacking in bass. I was also pretty impressed with the bundle that came along something that has not been as spectacular with other brands.   I...

Any idea of these? Three armatures vs Single Two of them are the flagship models and I am going to choose either one Can any one tell something about the differences between them? 

I've using my UM3X n Image X10 for years (Un-amped) and now looking for a custom :D:D:D:D:D:D:D   i of course would prefer the customs deliver sound that close to both the IEMs I used to own. which are very NEUTRAL and SMOOTH and VERY VERY LESS COLORING especially in the X10 where the single...

Hey guys my live wires have broken and they want to much to repair them now they are out of warranty so ill be needed some new ones, I want to not go custom again it was to much hassle and they didnt sound that great IMO, i will be using them unamped with my iphone4 as a source, listening to EDM...

Which are better for warranty and overall balanced audio?

Yesterday a friend came over and we had some pretty fun day listening to our equipment, comparing phones and sources. I was partially looking to get myself a portable amp to make my main phones sound even better. He brought with him his new Corda Arietta, a Behringer Ultramatch Pro 2496 DAC...

Hi all, I've been lurking here for a while trying to build up a short list IEMs that might be suitable to replace some disappointing Sony's. After reading some of the recommendations on the higher end comparison threads I have something of short list, but still quite a few reservations about...

(long time lurker, first time poster!)   I've had a few pairs of Nuforce NE-7M earphones and I really love them; such a fun sound signature very comfortable fit, easy in/out the mic/remote is appreciated as I'm an iPhone addict.   Problem is I keep breaking them. I'd buy another...

This is my second ever review. I have updated this review in a few spots from its original posting, for accuracy and nitpicking lets get the formalities out of the way first I hate IEM's, let me count the ways: I hate plugs shoved in my ears, i hate that every little movement or...

I'm looking to pick up a quality set of earphones to replace/upgrade UE Super.fi that I broke.   Seems like Klipsch is very popular for its aesthetic design, comfort and its superior performance relative to its size among other single armature IEMs.    But it seems like MTPC gets rave...

After posting in a thread just now about IEM preference, it shocked me at just how many IEMs / Canalphones I have... Considering I only have one pair of ears... it is worrying that I have: MTPC IE8 Denon C751 Klipsch X10 Panasonic HJE-900 JVC HP-FX1000 JVC HA-FX500 Shure SE500 UE...

I bought the Klipsch Image X10s about a year and a half ago for $125 (Ultimate Electronics), and I pretty much loved everything about the sound quality and comfort. Mine had experienced a little tearing at the strain reliefs (apparently not that uncommon), but I was going to live with them.  ...

Hello, I just received my Klipsch X10's and I want to give some initial thoughts about my most recent purchase. It's definitely not going to be reviewed in depth, but enough to tell you how I feel. Also, by no means am I an audiophile to some of your standards here. But, I know good sound...

Hi,   I bought a pair of Q-Jays last year and the left headphone is starting to crap out.  Unfortunately, I bought them off eBay from a private seller and have no receipt so I can't really follow up on the warranty.  They were only £60 so I don't feel that bad.   So, I'm looking for...

Tagline: The Ortofon e-Q7 are expensive and only available from Japan. Are they worth the effort? A few weeks ago I stumbled upon this thread and was instantly hooked by the elegant and straightforward design of these IEMs. I kept waiting for a full review to appear until I realized at last...

I posted much of this in another thread that was started in July before these were released, but I have done more listening and impressions with the Denon C700 and Image vs these IEM which will be found in the final section below. FIRST IMPRESSIONS 11/13/08 right out of the box, about 2PM...

I am going slightly crazy for a good pair of IEM's. i had previously listened to a pair of klipsch x10, that i bought for cheap, but new. then i decided to go for the sony xba-4, thinking that 4 specialized BA drivers would be better than the one BA in the X10. Sadly i found out that its not...

It's the holidays (and also my birthday) so I'm looking to upgrade from my Shure SE215's. I like them but I'm having some cable issues and I just generally want to upgrade.   I'm looking at the Aurvana 3, GR07 MK2, and Klipsch X10. I primarily listen to a lot of rock/alternative/punk, and a...

Hi, I am looking for the best IEM available for ~$100. I understand that there many options, but here are my specific needs:   - Listen to classical music (and music where it's all about instruments), alternative rock, pop music, and other mainstream music. Nothing too hardcore for my ears...
