Hi guys,   Glad I found you here.  I'm trying to use a sleep hypnosis recording to fall asleep better and need to find earbuds that would be super comfortable for a side sleeper like myself.  Everything I've tried so far (under $50) was UNcomfortable to plain painful. Definitely...

I've been researching possibilities but would appreciate advice specifically addressing what I'm looking for in consideration of what I'm accustomed to from the gurus here at Head-Fi! What I'm accustomed to is my Etymotic ER-6is and they're the only IEMs I can remember hearing (long story but I...

  The band I play in is going to iems and the pair that come with the system suck. I have been look at some earphones in 100-200 range and wonder what I should get. I would also be great to be able to wear them over the ear. I have a pair of klipsh s2 that I love. There are 3 pairs I am...

Greetings!   I am looking at acquiring a new set of in-ear phones. After doing a lot of reading on these forums, I've made a short list of possibilities and I'm coming to you now in hopes of getting more personally-tailored advice. These forums have been a terrific asset in my search and I'm...

Hi, I want to purchase an iem that uses multiple BA drivers. I live In Canada and my budget is 300$. I am replacing it with my UE 500. I really want something with good highs and mids but that usually means no bass. I want something with bass. I listened to the shure se 210 and to me it had no...

Hi.   I'm a closet audiophile who's been lurking for quite a while and am now suffering from a dire case of gear lust over the ATH-CK10.   My current IEM is the Klipsch S4i, whose sound is a little muddy for my taste and, after only a year of owning them, whose cables are showing...

  Hisoundaudio Crystals Review   Thanks to Frogbeats for the sample     First Impressions:  I see they still have the tiny box barely bigger than the case they come in.  I rather like that, okay so a big fancy box might be nice too but I appreciate the efficiency of it.  It’s a...

So my cx-300 II Sennheisers just clonked out on me yesterday and I'm leaving to go on a roadtrip on this Friday. Ugh..haha. So now I've been desperately searching for new IEMs and have come to some serious confusion over which pair to go for. For a bit of BG info, I have a pair of Sennheiser HD...

I recently purchased the UE 500 and I am really happy with it. I went to bestbuy and saw the shure se215. I am wondering if it is better than the UE 500. I am looking for more midrange so I am wondering if the shure se215 is much better. I also wouldn't mind spending more to get the ue700 but...

So I got the Triplefi 10 pro a week ago and realized that they are way too large for my ears as they just pop out which is really sad because they sound amazing.    So now I'm in search for good IEMs for small ear canals with a limit of $250 The phones should be best for metal ie. great...

Hello,     I have had Klipsh s4 for about a year now and i think i want to take a step up and get a more expensive pair of IE headphones. Im thinking of getting the Ultimate Ear 700 or the etymotic hf5. How do these compare to the klipsh or any other sub 150 IE headphone. I listen to a...

First off, I was looking at the buying guide by price range ( http://www.head-fi.org/wiki/buying-guide-headphones-by-price-range )   I am looking for a cheap-ish IEM for general use, gym and so on. Currently using PL-30 with my Clip+, occassionally with a cMoy (I am going to get a E7 soon...

I'm going to buy a new pair of in-ear headphones around $130. After days of research, I think I'll probably go with either the Phonak Audeo or Ultimate Ears 700.(any other suggestions are welcomed) I mostly listen to Rock, classical and jazz. I don't listen to pop, rap, hip hop or dance...

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...

Hey guys, I have been on these forums many times and now I have a couple questions that I have not seen answered here before. I f they have been asked before, please post a link. Questions: 1. Are making custom LODs, and IC's out of silver/copper really worth it?? Or can I just buy a Fiio L3...

I'm looking to pay around $100, but the price is flexible. I like detailed lows, but other than that I'm open to a variety of sound signatures. A detailed or wide sound stage is a pro, but not a major concern. I'll mostly be using these on plane or bus rides, so comfort is a plus. I prefer stems...

Hi. I am looking for an IEM up to $150 price range ; but , I am really confused.   whats SE215 's cons?   I found a CX980 at price $120 in a discount available in my country.   which one will be the perfect choice for someone wants neutral,  warm, sweet sound.

Hi, which tips are the best for FX500? Which offers good isolation without compromising the SQ. The stock tips are just horrible. Thanks.

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

Hi all! I am very new to this and have no knowledge on earphones except for the bit from reading through reviews. I've been pretty much using cheap earphones in the past. So now that I decided to upgrade to a better earphone, I have narrowed down to a few which I like, that is the UE 700...

did a lot of research, it came down between these few...   1. Etymotic HF5 Best isolation, but I'm a bit worried about getting used to the deep insertion style on this, is it possible to get good seal without a deep insertion?   2. Brainwavz M2 cheaper alternative    3...

I am coming from the ER-6i's that have been recabled with the stock apple earbud cables. I had ultimatebuds.com do them for me. They have served me well for the past few years. I had both great sound and the convenience of the iPhone remote controls + mic.   I was going to get the actual...

As stated in the title, UE 700 vs DBA-02 vs B2. I can get the UE700 at $50 cheaper than the DBA and B2. My portable setup will be iPhone and a Fiio e5. Which of these 3 will be the best choice? Im not asking for alternatives and not buying them online. I'm leaning towards the UE700 design and...

Has anyone ever done that?   I got curious about the Sony hybrid tips that keep getting mentioned around here, but didn't feel like ordering a set. I figured, since I have two pair of Comply tips that came with my UE 700, might as well DIY and do some surgery. It was surprisingly easy to get...

Hey guys,   I already have Ultimate Ears 700 IEMs and want to get a pair of bassier cans right now. I have an amp (electric avenue pocket amp 2) and the source will be mostly my laptop(Lenovo x220) (like >80% of the time) and an iPod touch 2g and an entry level receiver(Yamaha something ;)...
