I've done a bit of research on this site, but I am still relatively new and want to make an educated next purchase. I am looking for suggestions for a pair of IEMs that sound good, with decent bass and as flat a response as possible with decent soundstage. I will mostly be using an iPhone or...

Ok So Ive had the Superfi 5 Pros essentially since they came out and to this day I havent found a better Overall sounding headphone. Thats almost 10years I believe which is crazy. Ive tried Monster Turbine Coppers, The Westone4, The UE triple fi and sorry But No..Overall the Super fis are the...

I ended up with the of Sony MDR-EX210B after searching this forum for something low cost.  Sadly, I absolutely hate them.  They have way, way too much bass for my taste.     Is there such a thing as a good sounding, inexpensive IEM?     For reference, I have an old pair of Shure E2c's...

I was given some Shure headphones last year while on a KLM flight. I was wondering if anyone could identify them for me. I really like them and would like to replace them when the inevitably die.   Here are some pictures   http://imgur.com/a/r2xRp

I know that most of them come with bags but apparently the bag that comes with q-JAYS (what I ordered) sucks so I have to think about something else. I've only had a pair of PXW100's and KSC-75's which I just shove in my pocket along with my iPod but now with paying $180 I'm not sure I'd want to...

I'm new here and apologize if this has been posted before... I love the comfort of my E2C phones with the new soft flex sleeves but to me the isolation was lacking when compared to the other sleeves. I had this idea to increase the isolation. I took my medium soft flex sleeves which fit...

I am 14 years old, and have a vast music collection composed of rock, jazz, classical, reggae, metal, and alternative ( the vast majority of it is rock though). I'm thinking of getting a pair of Livewires, but I only have one concern: will my ear canals grow overtime to the point that I can't...

I own the PX 100's and, don't get me wrong, they're great. Bass heavy, loud, a little too warm, but great overall. But, I really don't like the traditional over-the-head headphone band. Kind of makes it cumbersome at times. I also don't really care for their open character, which makes it...

I've had this pair of Shure e2cs for about 3 years now and they are crapping out.  The right monitor cuts in and out, sometimes just plays at half volume.  I assume it has a problem with the cable.  The rubber layer on the left one has also broken upon itself (see picture).  Would it be worth it...

I currently have a pair of Shure E2C's. I like the sound, and I'm driving them through my iTouch 2G. I'm planning on picking up a Clip+ and a E7 or E11 so I can play my .flac library on the go.   What I'm wondering is if I'd get a huge sound increase from switching to RE0's or Grado SR80i's...

Hi, I've been using the E2Cs for a while to listen to lossless files on an ipod. With a little EQ adjustment I like the tonal balance, but I've recently found that I can't wear in-ear 'phones without some discomfort, and I prefer a little interaction with my environment. Also, the top end of the...

I have both the Apple IEM with Sony hybrid tips (which I've used for a few years) and also a pair of Shure E2Cs (which I retired because they were the most uncomfortable things I've ever put in my ears) and am looking to upgrade. I'm thinking about Westone 4, or Shure 535 but was wondering if...

I'm trying to find some wax guards but it seems like they are all +$15 which seems crazy given how tiny they are.   Also, I can't find a wax removal tool online does anyone know where to get one? Is it because these headphones are a little older? Ive had them since high school which was 7-8...

So I've been using e2c for almost 5 years and after a while of cable-roll-neglection I have some kind of bad connection with the left channel in the flex part of the 90-deg connector.   I want to spend around the 130-150$.   I can't listen to any of your recommendations cause the local...

Okay so like most people with the e2c. Mine have died finally got around to re-cabling them since I do like them and too poor to buy a new pair so after scrouging around for info, I found that there isn't much on a comprehensive guide out for newbies like me.    So firstly. I have...

Hi all   Well my trusty Shure E2C's are on the way out and so its time to find a replacement. Trouble is I'm now going round in circles trying to find a suitable new pair. Basically I do a lot of traveling by plane so want something that allows me to wear them for long periods (the shures...

I have some E2C's and the cable bent and wires exposed by the bud. I'm guessing they are over 2 years old as the warranty is only 2 years. Should I return them for repair or bite the bullet and buy a new pair.

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum and I need help.   First off, I am not an "Audiophile" by any means, just a working drummer in a rock band, and my IEM system is my lifeblood on stage (I basically can't gig without it).   The right bud on my Shure e2c is cutting in and out and it's...

Okay, so I've been traipsing around this forum for a bit trying to figure out what I should pick up to replace my modified Shure E2C IEMs. I was given a pair of the E2Cs a few years back and I loved them. I ended up wearing out the cord as anyone who has owned E2Cs knows, so i recabled them and...

Hi. Looking for some thoughts. I am looking at CIEMs at the moment to use at work and maybe sleep in. i also have slightly odd shaped ears so ofen find IEMs uncomfortableLooking for a well balanced sound that may be a touch, and I mean a touch warm. Will be listening to mostly rock on iPod...

Hey everyone, Like the topic says, what was the first headphone(s) you purchased after coming to Head-Fi for the first time? I'm a little curious because I've been here for about a month or so, and already bought 2 headphones . First one I bought were the Sony MDR-D66 Eggos for portable use...

Hi there,   been reading a bunch and now I want to ask a more specific question. I'm a guitarist both in clubs and church. I have experience with Shure E2's and E5's and for the past 6 months or so I've been using Westone UM2's. The Westone's are a vast improvement over either Shure model...

I've spent a bit of time listening to the new Nuforce NE-700X over the past few weeks, and wanted to post my impressions of them.  (The NE-700M have a microphone)     As many people know, in the budget earphone category I have been a fan of the Nuforce NE-7M and NE-6 earphones, which...

I currently have the Shure e2's. I've had them for several years. They're still in very good shape and are used occasionally for working out and other general use. Before these I went through a handful of earbuds $100 and under as well as both the UE 5Pro and UE 5EB. I also had some of the lower...
