Which of the two would you recommend? I mostly plan to use it on-the-go, so sound quality, comfort, and isolation are probably the priority for me. Price isn't really too much of a factor since they are in the same range. :D I've read the reviews and such around for both, but I haven't seen...

I heard someone say about the clip+ associated with Xcape inappropriate. comments from you?

Hey,   I've just bought a pair of headphones, but i decided i need an IEM to when i'm not home with my headphones. I'm currently using the ipod ones, but they are horrible. I listen mainly to rock, and i like a deep bass, but not too much. I would pay at max 100 for it, since i just spent...

About 5 years or so, I purchased Sennheiser HD595 and an amp.  Sounds amazing and I love them when listening to music at home.  However, I travel quite a bit now.  About 40-50k miles in flights every year and commute about an hour a day to the office via train.  Since the HD595 is open ear...

Hello there.   I have a pair of Brainwavz M3 since December of 2010 and I want to make an upgrade of them. I would pay US$140.00 (max), but I'm kind of confused when I search IEM's in the Multi-Review of Jocker. The music that I listen are basically progressive / metal / power / grunge /...

Hi guys,   Need abit of help with chosing earphones on a tiny budget. $80 to be exact... Considering the genre that i listen mostly, jazz(male/female vocals/instrumentals) or classical orchestra. I believe even an ok phone could be challenging to find.   Currently with a ep-630. Got it...

Yes, there are a lot of options. Sunrise SW-Xcape version 2, Meelectronics A151 and CC51, Soundmagic PL-50 (I am amazed for its comfortable appearance) and Brainwavz M2. I simply have no idea of what would be the best option for me. I'm not gonna amp the IEM; and I listen to almost...

My ViSang R03's recently broke so I had to buy a new pair of IEMs, and now I desperately miss the R03. I bought these (with the help of amazing reviews here):   http://www.sunrise-audio.com/products/sw-xcape.html For some reason at moderate-high volumes there is this frequent static noise...

Hi, I just got problem with my Sunrise X-cape today. The story is, I often listen to music with it at night when I sleep. This morning, when I woke up, the wire is pulled a little too hard because I often roll when I sleep so it got tangled >"<. And I think it maybe the main cause for my IEM to...

After 30 hours burnin here is my thoughts.  Using sansa clip+ rockboxed   #1. I have had tons of headphones and hate those silicone tips they give you with them. The xcapes is no different.  What I did it took the rubberized tips that came with my Sennheiser CX 500's and they work perfectly...

Hey. So I'm looking for some earphones that sound good overall for all subgenres of metal/rock. I had a pair of Klipsch S2's for the past year and they sounded great to me but then the wiring screwed up and I couldn't hear out of them anymore. I can't really afford an expensive pair right now so...

Hi, my Westone UM1 just broke and time for me to replace it to use with my iPhone (No Amps) I listen to all sorts of music, but would preferably have an earphone which is more analytical with good emphasis on clarity of singer's voice. After many hours spent on reading reviews and surveying, I...

As far as I can tell, the packaging of version 1 and 2 are identical. The main difference is the version 2 has a glossy finish on the earbuds and has build quality improvements in the cord.   I never heard version 1 so I cannot compare. They are not burned in yet so sound judgement is not...

RE-ZERO Pros Sounds great un-amped Better bass/mids than RE0 Slightly better build quality (?)   Cons That adapter    RE0 Pros Extremely clear highs No adapter    Cons Would sound noticeably better amped Lapse of bass   The Situation:   I will be using...

About to bite to bullet and order some, I'm hoping they are at least somewhat similar to the version 1s which everyone seems to rave about.Has anyone had the chance to compare the two?

Hi. I've been looking around this site as well as a few others for reviews and finally decided to ask in a thread. My preference is more analytical / detailed, with a wide soundstage. Bass is good, but probably prefer more balanced. I had my Sony MDR-NC22 (not quite sure if it's the NC22, I...

Price range: ~$125   Music Preference: Pop, Hip Hop, Soft Rock, soft music. Lots of range in musical preference.   Looking for: Best overall earphones for the price. Sound, durability, everything. I don't feel like buying a new pair for a while.   Interested in: Sunrise SW-Xcape...

Which one is better for relaxed listening and gives overall better vocals and seperation,

Hello everyone, I am a rather new member this will be my second post so try not to burn me to much if this is the wrong forum section to ask in. Apologies in advance if needed.   But anyways I have recently been very interested in getting a quality set of headphones. Currently i use a cheap...

Hello there,   I've not posted before, but I've had a lot of fun reading. I've been looking to find a cheap way to get a bit of near-hifi without the price tag and it seems like this is it.   I've just received the Brainwavz M2 due to the recommendation on the big IEM list, and that...

Which one is best overall?   - I think they should be easy to drive as I'm using them with a cheap tablet.   - Clarity concerns me more than anything else.   - I don't want anything very expensive (i.e. about 100$ is fine.)   - I've read this: "It's the closest thing there is to...

Hey guys, I'm new at head-fi and only recently started reading up about earphones. I am using a HTC Legend (pretty good for a phone IMO) or iPod Nano as my source, and had a Creative EP-630 for 2 years till it broke a few days ago. I've decided to get something decent for a replacement, budget...

So after making a post earlier, I went and read the entire general knowledge on IEMs thread by ClieOS, and also his 140 IEM mega-comparison list. I've got my pricepoint established, and so now I just need head-fi's opinion on which of these IEMs I should spend my cash on. So what'll it be. Also...

I recently owned the R.E.O., and absolutely loved them in the sub 100, and even 200 category.  The problem I had with them is two-fold:  Microphonics, and more importantly build quality- they crapped out after a year of use.  I loved their balanced, detailed sound.  I have since purchased the...
