Hey everyone, been lurking around the forums for a couple of days but couldnt find what i needed so decided to sign up =) Ive had my Westone UM1's for bout 2 years now and have had a fairly mixed opinion of them. While i love the fit/form factor of them i havent really warmed up to the sound...

Hello people.   I am currently using Brainwavz M3's with a Cowon S9 and Fii0 E7, the sound isn't bad but I want to try something a bit better, I've just ordered an Sflo2 from MP4N (hopefully I'll receive it within 2 months!!), so that should help, but what about a good set of IEM's in the...

Hi,   My brand new Westone 2's are giving me a great seal and are refreshingly comfortable but are not providing acceptable isolation, i.e. I can hear myself typing on a MBP keyboard with music playing.   Sound sig is also off for me-mid & bass ok but no real hi freq energy to speak of...

Hello Head-fiers :) This is actually my first post here at head-fi, but i do research here for quite a while.   I really need IEMs, I mostly listen while commute with Blackberry curve 8520 (it plays FLAC natively lol) and also iPod. Good isolation is also nice, because I have to cut out...

I have been cycling through at least 2 pairs of headphones a year now - the cable never seems to last too long with how often I use them (several hours each day). I have done a lot of research on IEMs and it seems that as soon as I found one I like, I discover something bad about them (bad...

Hey guys   So I got the Westone 2's and I absolutely love them. I use them everyday to do everything. As much as I love using them with my ipod, i feel like I'm not getting the best out of the earphones. For example, when I plug the earphones into my PC which has a good sound card, the audio...

Hi, i just tried the IE7, liked the bass very much. What other IEMs can produce the same amount of bass or more? Im very worried that i might get a pair of IEMs only to find out that the bass can barely be heard. Please advice and reccommend some IEMs that have a good amount of bass like the...

Any of u guys know any IEM that feels comfortable for sleeping? one that feels like theres nothing on your ears when u use it :)

I've given up on my Phonaks, and have decided to replace them and spend a little more.   I'm looking for excellent isolation and comfort and a precise, warm sound with decent soundstage.  My music taste is prog rock/metal, folk and classical.   I can get the Westone 3 for ~£260, or...

The following is a paraphrase of my full j-phonics review at TouchMyApps.   What is it?   Sensaphonics Japan have put together a winning package. I've been a fan of the Prophonics 2X-s for a year or so, but I'll be the first to admit that it could improve in one basic area: treble...

Which is the better iem for rock: the Westone 2 or the um2? Think Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, etc. I will be using them for other types of music as well, but the vast majority of it will be rock, and so I am most interested in getting iems that will have a suitable...

I am looking for an IEM that is slightly warm, rich midrage and enjoyable to listen too. Second is detail and separation, as Im a musician and I like to discern different instruments in order to play them by ear. Total balance and neutrality is not a requirement, but a slight coloration is fine...

Ok to start out I am looking at 1964 Customs and they look ideal for the price being customs. Here's the problem, I am only 16 right now and I am thinking that my ears will still be developing. Will my ears still be changing at this age? If so I am thinking that customs wouldn't be for me...

Hi   Well got my replacement replacement (long story short, first pair nozzle snapped off, second pair right side driver went)of westone 2's back.  Sound great as usual except for one thing, and that is I still cannot get a decent seal on my right ear.  It's not westone as it happens with...

I've been listening to my new Westone 2's for about 3 hours after my old sony mdr ex 500's "broke" a couple days ago - one side is broken, but if I wiggle the cords it comes back to life again until I bump the cord. Coming from a sub $100 pair of iem's I had expected the Westone 2's to dominate...

I had a Bose IEM before (quite good bass they got there) and is broken. Now I wanted a new and much better IEM.   I have done lotss of research on IEM field this week and AM STILL CONFUSED..!!!   HELPPPP!!!   Which brand to go for IEM w/ mic and remote + LOTSS OF BASS for under and...

  Introduction   I have recently gotten my hands on a pair of Westone 2 which is another treat for me along with my recently reviewed IE7. The Westone 2 is supposed to have a neutral sound signature so that should suit my signature which makes it all the better. Whether it is something...

Hey guys, I want to get a pair of IEM's for my mom as a gift. She listens to Indian and western classical mainly and alot of vocally driven music. My budget is around $200 or a little more if I get great bang for my buck. I just got the HJE 900's which I absolutely love but I don't know if the...

Looking for the best earphones under £150 to buy. I love really tight bass as i listen to metal and i love the clarity of a double bass pedal. I also listen to a fair amount of acoustic and also dubstep/DnB etc. I also love the sound of synths, e.g dream theater as they suck me into the music...

Hi I'm new here and this is my first post so be nice    I have been thinking of upgrading my pair of Westone 2 but after reading from many different people from many different forums, I am even more confused than ever. I started this thread because there are very few if not no posts at all...

Some Background: I'm currently a college student looking for the best IEM <$250 can buy. I don't consider myself an audiophile but I do enjoy great sounding music. The only pair of decent phones I own, or ever owned, are the Audio Technica ATH-M50s. Although they are a great set of cans, I'm...

A lot of new IEMs have come out recently. So what are best IEMs in the $200 range now? From what I've seen, the DBA-02, Westone 2, and CK10 have gotten a lot of praise. I just want to know which ones are considered top quality so that I can look them up and decide from there.

Hi, i am looking for a custom iem. I am planning to got get a ue tf10 pro and turn it into a custom iem and also adding an additional driver. Any suggestion? or i should get the um3x and do the same thing?

Hello, Im new to this forum, this is infact my first post. I am considering an upgrade for my iem (Superfi 3), they broke and I am now looking into both UM2 and westone 2s which are currently in my price range. I auditioned Westones 3 (sadly w2s and um2s are unavailable atm) recently and...

Hello all I know there's already a thread like this but those are mostly $300 iems which I'm looking for iems around $200 and 250 max(with shipping included) I've tried narrowing down my choices but then it seems like something new pops up. I listen to everything except country and...
