Hi all!!   On a recent trip to the states I was intending on purchasing a set of SE535/Westone 4R's   However Sony offered me a great deal on a set of XBA-4's which I subsequently purchased!   Now these so far sound quite good on my iPhone 4S, not so good on my Retina Macbook.   ...

I have been born with big lugs, they have advantages and dis-advantages. At school there were a burden but as I got older, they became enjoyable, in that I can hear very low frequencies, helicopters miles away, earthquakes a second or so before they hit. you get the idea! Due to having big ears...

Hello I am looking for a pair of IEM. I currently have urbeats and they work well. I'm not so great on just headphones so I thought to ask if you have any good to recommend. I want a pair of really good headphones so you can hear all kinds of supplements.Or a good site i can find something...

I am a touring drum technician and need some IEMs for live stage performances. I am not playing so i don't need the whole mix only the drums and for people to speak to me through them.   The Shures are in budget and look to do the job but was was wondering if there are any alternatives i...

I did my hw, found the facts, and still can't decide.   I can get the 600vi's for $75 and the 4ip's for $160 (significantly less than retail)   A lot of people criticize 4ip's, but I was considering that they are so critical because the 4ip's are supposed to be at an entirely different...

Hi all,   Looking for a set of headphones for work (need to not leak much), most likely over the ear (though if people have good in-ear suggestions, let me know) for roughly $200-300 (open to suggestions of what I could upgrade to). Genres are best defined by bands: Radiohead, Parov...

Hello!    How it all begins: A few months back, my local Apple authorized shop brought in the ComplyFoam eartips but only the TX series and only comes in M-size. It cost around BND $26 [ About US 20.6 according to XE-Currency Converter] so I decided to give it a shot!    I start...

After I'm disappointed with my brand new MDR-XB90EX, I'm looking for new IEMs, but I'm getting an F886, so this time I'm want better IEMs for high def music. H3 and 40 are too expensive for my budget, but what can you say about H1 and 30? I, of course, read the reviews about them, but not sure...

I am having a hard time finding correct tips. I just got the Sony Hybrid and even the large ones are too small. Can anyone tell me where I can get tips that are larger than the conventional "large" sized tips? Just silicons, not looking for the foam type as they hurt my ears. There are for...

The worse thing that could possibly happen and also the hardest part when choosing a brand new pair of earphone is the sound signature. This can be applied to headphones, amplifiers, DAC or even DAP, although audiophile DAP are still quite narrow in the market as compared to earphones or...

I am looking for a pair of IEMs. I am pretty interested in the Shures SE535 Ltd Ed but i just want to know if there are other good ones out there with better soundstage and clarity. I heard the Senns IE80 are good. What do you guys think?    Any other good IEMS too

Greetings folks!   I absolutely love my FXZ-200's, but the wires are starting to fail (frequent right ear cut outs) and it is slightly damaged. Ive had them for a good while (around 1-2 years). Alas it's time to move on with a new set.   To give a indication to what i listen to, its mainly...

Hey guys,      I love my Sony XBA-4's and have been using them for at least 6 months now. The soundstage suits my needs perfectly I just wish they would isolate a little but more (albeit they isolate exceptionally) and say in my ear better during workouts. As I was looking for a cheap solution...

Hi everyone. So im planning to buy new iems for my mobile phone Sony Xperia SL. I use Spotify for listening and i mostly listen indie, alternative, jazz and classical. I dont use any amps with my phone. I have thought about heir audio products but im not sure would it be a waste of money if the...

I got the new Bose StayHear+ Tips because of the better isolation they are supposed to deliver and staying in my ear while I workout. However, I did not realize the only fit to Bose IEMs. So I had to 'adhesive" them to the IEM, but I can always take them off if I want and then further added a...

I have recently build a new PC and have bought a dedicated sound (Asus Xonar DX), however after doing some reading and watching the following youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1rXcJuEsy0 - Gaming Audio Myths: Avoid The BS & Save Your Audio Life), is there any point to having a...

Hi, Well I thought I got a bargain when I found these for £150, seller accepted my best offer of £130, I was a bit suspicious.   They have turned up today, and to me they look fake, no case, pink ear buds, no additional ear buds, no manual etc.              

Can anyone suggest a Universal upgrade from PFE232   I have already previously owned:  Westone 4, Heir 4A   Would fitear f111 be an upgrade?

I have been using a new set of MDR-7550 that replaced my Shures 320. I have to say that they are a definitive improvment and I can be happier with them.  Burn in is still under way though I have noticed the top end has smoothed out over time as most other users have commented.  I am very...

i just lost my Miles Davis Tribute at a party .. i am very sad indeed :(   but i was looking at the new sony line up of IEMs and the Sony XBA-4SL attacted me so i am here to ask where can i buy this in the states ?

Hi All Wanted to share this review with you guys so that to better decide which should i keep for future everyday usage. Feel free to disagree with me as I am very new at this.   Review: XBA-4SL VS UM3X   Equipments: Samsung Galaxy S2 (International), IPhone 3GS, IPad 2, Macbook Pro...

Hey guys this is my first thread here and i need a liitle help regarding to headphones.   Which headphone will be better for me the sennheiser ie80, sony xba-4 or the sony mrd-ex1000 or any other good sounding IEM that you could recommend for me.   What I like most in a pair of IEM is a...

well, i want a high end IEM, but im not sure about all the pro's and cons of armature IEM's and single dynamic driver IEM's. And i want to know if the XBA3/4's are any good, especially with bass and clarity of mids/highs.   And anything else with bass and cool stuff.
