Hi all   Ive asked this question in the v2 thread without any joy.   Sound wise, my understanding is they are the same.  However, as a previous owner of the v1, I struggled with the fit of them, always flopping out regardless of whatever tips I tried, eventually deciding to sell them...

OK, my wear-while-mowing Mallows are showing their age... one of the grey tubes has come unstuck. So, should I re-glue the tube on that one, or pull the tube off the other? Which tips work well without the tubes?

Well, with so many iems floating around, I figured I'll start an appreciation thread for the TD III.   I want to thank |joker| for recommending the TDIIIs.  I had never heard of the TDIIIs, until I posted in joker's huge IEM thread.  I was looking for something to compliment my Monster...

I just recieved the new e-q5   just played for 15 minutes and the sound is in one word  ( Amazing )   It has Excellent Bass Extension and Transparency I used the Silicon Medium ear-tips that it came with    so the treble is just right meaning the way it suppose to sound  not sibilant...

Hello all, I'm a professional musician and audiophile. I have an active Linn - Keltik system at home and was looking forward to the ultimate solution for when I'm on the road. I've owned a Sennheiser system for on-stage monitoring for ages with my own mold (the kind where you put the...

I own a review sample of the HifiMan RE272 and, after a few weeks of listening, I have finished my take on them.     Presentation   The RE-272 to me build on the to that of the RE-262, not just for aesthetics, but also for sound signature. The main earpiece “grows” to form a...

2 weeks ago I joined this website to help me with my quest of the headphones I wanted!   I asked for a full size headphone or IEM for some great great bass and great great texture and quality, it took me hours and hours of research and it finally came down to...

Hello, I have a huge problem. I just received the new Sunrise IE from lendmeurears.com . What the hell is this? I looked everywhere, this was rated as the one of the best on its range.   They sound thin, shallow, the soundstage is near to zero, sound is NOT detailed. It sounds like...

  Etymotic hf3 Review   First Impressions:  Pretty, much pretty than their older siblings but then how hard would that be?  I must say I like the look of them mostly because the angle the cable comes out looks like I can get away with wearing these up, fingers crossed.  That was one of the...

  A few days ago I posted my thoughts on the Sennheiser MX series and Yuin Series earbuds in a topic here on head-fi.  Due to the massive volume of interest ( i counted 18 different people asking for a more detailed review ) I will post my thoughts in detail.   Lets start off with the...

As most of you know, well atleast those who have read Jokers massive IEM review and ClieOS' impressions, the Sunrise V.1 made quite an impression here. Now it seems that Sunrise have another option for sale, the Impressive Edition, which ClieOS dubbed the X-IE. Unfortunately there are'nt many...

I've never felt compelled to write a review on a set of cans until now and I'm glad I waited...       Following some web pricing errors at B&H and 'apres-error' price correcting, I finally received them today.  Now, without going any further, I want to state for the record that with...

Hello members of Head-fi, I'm coming to you guys with some need of advise. I don't think my situation should cause a lot of panic, but as of right now, I am a little concerned and in need of getting other opinions regarding my situation.   Disclaimer: This is kind of a long story but I'll...

I'm trying to decide on which earphone I should purchase, I did a lot of research and these were the two that stood out more. These two Earphones cost around 100 dollars and they had pretty good specs so its difficult to choose. Both of these earphones have a 2 year warranty as well. P.s: my...

What should I pick? the DBA-02 or e-Q5 i usually lisent to pop and classical, well i lisent to everything pretty much, except for metal.

coming out of China OEM style I'm sure. Being sold on ebay by a company called OSP that sells a lot of decent quality but cheap pro audio gear: Check it out. Dynamic driver. Looks very much like the Shure E2. Who wants to be the Guinea Pig?

I'd like to pick up some reasonable cans for my son to use as audio monitors when shooting video.  His only requirement is decent isolation.  I'm thinking noise cancellation is going to be too expensive.    I'm also thinking circumaural is best (he doesn't like IEMs).   Any suggestions? ...

MEElectronics M6 Review First impressions: oh my god, just how pretty do these look??? These may be the prettiest IEM’s I’ve seen, just look at them. First audio impressions are going from a secondary listening and from memory as I had an issue with them. Mostly I remember thinking what...

Anyone see these? Sounds like an interesting concept - I wonder if anyone has heard them.... http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Miles-...84BE7XYTG0X1H3

I have been looking at the Monster turbines refurbished from Monster Cables at $50 dollars or the used like new from Amazon for $85 (due to the warranty). I also like the Klipsch Image S4, but I am open to a bunch, and I don't mind used or refurbished. Although I prefer Amazon due to the prime...
