    Should I get UE 500 or Beats Tours or Ibeats?

    I am looking to upgrade from my sennheiser cx 500 titanium which cost 150$ and for the price, suck big time. (my opinion) I can get the UE 500, beats tour, and ibeats from a friend for 50$ each, but he will only give me 1. So I want to know which one is the best. I have heard really bad reviews...

    Good In Ears for Drummers with an NRR of at Least 25dB?

    I'm looking for in ear headphones for playing along with music when I drum. They need a noise reduction rating of at least 25dB. The main priority is something that blocks out enough sound to keep the volume relatively low. Of course something that sounds halfway decent would be nice as...

    Crunchy/crumpling sound when putting on earbud.

    Whenever I push my UE 500 and my cx500 into my ear, it makes this crumpling or crunchy sound that sounds like I am crumpling my speaker diaphragm. Am I damaging my earbuds or is this normal. I cannot find a way to prevent this, even by twisting it I to my ear, it still makes noise.

    UE 500 Vs UE 600 Vs Metrofi 220

    I have been using UE 200s for a while now and I want an upgrade under 100$. I really like the look of the silver Metrofi and UE 500. I can afford the UE 600s but if it is not too much better than the other two than I would prefer to save my money and get what's cheaper. I mainly want to know...

    Ultimate Ears 700

    Am i right that these are better for comfort than the 500 and 600s plus should have better sound?   Would these be a good choice of the three for someone wanting clear, detailed sound with good highs and mids and DOES NOT want booming peaky (30-70hz) bass?     Thnx

    Reviews on Ultimate Ears 500vi and 600vi?

    I can't find many reviews on the 500vi and 600vi.  Is anyone using either of these?  I'm guessing the 600vi is supposed to have better audio because of the top-fire armature?  And presumably the 500vi doesn't stick out from your ears as much and might have a better cord?

    looking for mid-tier earphones

    Hi everyone, i'm new to head-fi. my friend is looking for earphones around $150-200, and she prefers those with strong bass. I'm guessing she wants earphones with warm and exciting sounds, so maybe dynamic speakers would be more suitable than BA??  Are monster turbines and the MTPG good...

    Shure 535's lacking bass... better suggestion?

    Hello,   I just received the Shure 535's today.  It sounds great in terms of clarity, and midrange voice comes thru very easily.  I'm quite dissappointed in the warmth, and the bass response though.  I've tried all the sleeves, and found the ones that fits best, but still it doesn't sound to...

    Ultimate Ears 500, Ety MC5..

    I got a lot of recommendations for RE0. But, I would also like to know experiences about Ety MC5 and UE500. I read generally good things about MC5.. But, nothing about UE500. Probably because they are new..   Any thoughts?

    Bass and clarity trade-offs between Ultimate Ears 500 and Ultimate Ears 600?
