Hi,   First post, I hate first post, plus there isn't really a sub-forum suited to it, because it spans both IEM and full size ones.   Background: Fisrtly I'm decent hifi aware, in the past when I had more time, I had decent HIFI, Linn/naim/tannoy etc.   But it all went, not sure...

Hi all, i'm not even talking about classical music, but when listening to alt. rock ("Belle and Sebastian - i'm waking up to us") i can't stand those "strings". What IEMs are there (100-500$), with FUN sig. (with deep bass), sweet on the mids, with big soundstage... that can give me better...

I have had my 535's for 2+ years and love them as much as the day I got them. My OEM cable is starting to cut out at the plug so it is time for a new cable. I appreciate great sound, but don't consider myself an audiophile, mainly because I have other hobbies that take up my spare time and...

Hi;      Now that I got my home desktop rig all setup, trying to revise my portable to go setups.  Planning to pick up one of the new Sony DAP with a LOD to use with an amp.  I primarily use IEMs on the go and own the Shure EC5, SE530, SE535, and the Westone 4R.  Which amp should I really be...

Hello all,    I have been reading forums recently regarding the IEM's mentioned in topic, Most forums/threads/topics i have read doesn't have what i want. I myself listen mostly K-POP and J-POP, OST' and i need some help in which one among the 3 IEM's or if any, other IEM's i should consider...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a pair of headphones or IEMS that have a VERY forward and outgoing midrange that justs rips through your ears. It has to sound good for acoustics too. I listen to the Piano Guys a lot, and I really love Carol of the Bells.

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...

Considering selling my 535s and getting 232s. Worth it? I like the prospect of the added detail and bass impact from the 232s. Any comments welcome.

Hey headfi people Just purchased the shure 535 and am running them on my iPhone 4s I am currently looking for a suitable amp/dac to improve the sound Quality ' don't get me wrong they sound amazing as they are but feel They are to bright as they are , they feel very loud overall on the highs...

Hello guys I was just wondering what you shure 535 owners Think about what the best source would be to run the 535 s And if there is any better source other than the iphone4s Just a matter of curiosity how many of you believe that the 535s Would benefit from a dac when used with the iPhone4s...

I've been reading a lot of amp comparisons and reviews here and elsewhere. I'm looking for an amp to pair with my Shure 535SE IEMs. A lot of the shoot offs group amps by budget under $100 or $200 or $300 and up. This makes it hard to find comaprisons of amps on opposite sides of the price...

Hello all,   I am new to this forum and mobile audio gear in general. I am very familiar with audio equipment as my in home surround sound system consists of (Well did before my recent divorce heh) a combination of Denon Receiver, Marantz Amp, Klipsch Speakers and HSU Research Sub. Though I...

I already have the Shure SE215, and I really like the punchy bass on those. However, I want to upgrade, I recently bought the Grado GR10, love it for instrumental, but it lacks to much bass.. I really love the punchy bass and an overall good sound balance. which one do you recommend me??

Hey Head fi, I'm choosing between these two iems but I am unsure which one would be better. I listen to rock, electric and dubstep. I have a iphone 4s paired with a fiio e7 amp/dac.    Thanks 

Ive narrowed it down to the shue se535 and the UE tripe fi 10. Which in ear monitor is the best? Any other recommendations will be appreciated

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...

Looking for input on custom made earpieces. I have la pair of shure 535's just wondering if a custom pieces help out with bass any. I am Overall pleased with the sound and comfort, just wondering if the expense Makes them any better

Hello,   I'm trying to find the most comfortable headphones in the market (less than <500 USD).   They gave me as a present the Beats Pro and i find them extremely uncomfortable.  I travel a lot and I do a lot of long-distance flights. I would like some headphones that will isolate...

My old UE Triple-Fi 10s from 2007 are falling apart (I had to glue them together this morning) and I considered buying another pair at Amazon, but thought maybe there might have been a few new and exciting developments in the IEM market since then.     I listen primarily to classical...

Hey guys, I'm going to India in a few days for a few weeks and need some headphones to take with me. I currently use custom se535s (I love the sound signature but a bit more bass wouldn't go amiss) but I don't want to take those, they feel a bit delicate for taking to India (I've been many...

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...

Hello everyone!   A few years ago, I purchased the SE210 after reading up on reviews and deciding that they were the best fit. I was upgrading from the JBL Reference 220, so I very much appreciated the difference in sound quality. Unfortunately they broke approximately a year ago, but I...

Yes, I do realize that mixing is done best with true studio monitors or reference headphones, but I'm just wondering what the best IEM for mixing would be. Please note that although they need to be good for mixing and need to be very well balanced (with no frequencies recessed), I'd want them to...
