Forgive me if I am in the wrong forum or what not, I have a very simple, straight forward question. Does anyone have any experience ordering from Amazon.de to the US (trying to pick up Senn IE80 for 280USD!) Will Sennheiser still honor the warranty as they would from Amazon.com (as listed on...

Are there any universals with balanced armature driver(s) the can do sub bass rumble or is the tf10 in 2012 still the only one? um3x and W3 have more of an midbass hump, that i do not like. sm3/sm2 would have been great if i could stand the soundstage, which seems wierd to me.   i cannot...

What does artificial treble sound like?  I mean all IEM's are a processed sound so other than simply saying "un-natural", not sure I understand?  I hear this thrown out a lot about W3 and how W4 has much better more natural sounding treble.  But to me a heavy softness or veil (the way I hear...

Over my audio journey, I've tried many different earphones in an attempt to find the perfect sound signature for me.   However, I've come to a sudden realisation: I just want fun! I want an earphone that'll allow me to tap my feet and feel good. I don't listen to music that requires ultra...

I hesitated to post, wasn't sure as a newbie with a low post count but here goes...   I was over at Headfonia looking for versatile phones that don't leak much, are more closed than open, and that I'll be wearing around town. I listen to less aggressive rock, electronic (trance), movie...

I have had a pair of Westone 3's which I use at the gym 3-4 times a week.  They have been fantastic.  Sound great, and VERY comfortable and lightweight.   I am wondering if the newer models of Westone are as comfortable and lightweight?

Yes, I do realize that mixing is done best with true studio monitors or reference headphones, but I'm just wondering what the best IEM for mixing would be. Please note that although they need to be good for mixing and need to be very well balanced (with no frequencies recessed), I'd want them to...

Been on this journey 10 years now and have enjoyed the anticipation of every purchase.  The waiting, the opening of the product, the first listen, the break-in....I've loved every minute.   But as much as I have enjoyed so many IEM's,    I have been able to poke a fault at everyone of them...

Looking for a recommendation on some IEMs. My last pair of in ears were some Shure SE102s but after 5 months the rear housing came loose & I have had hell with Shure customer service, so want to replace them. My music taste varies. Listed below from least listened to most: -Country -Rock...

I've been off and on thinking about upgrading my Shure 530s, but really haven't come across a new pair of universal IEMs that seem to outdo them.  I've come across these Heirs which seem to be getting pretty popular, and some people claiming them to be the best all around universal IEM  ...

I've been using IEMs for at least 10 years now and due to some major issues with ear wax recently, I've been considering switching to regular headphones for portable use. I currently use the Westone 3s so of course I want to find something of comparable quality. I'm wondering though if anyone...

I've been lurking for a few years, but this is my first foray into posting here.   I've noticed quite a few people recommending the removable cable mod for the Westone 3's, and was wondering if there is a tutorial to do it yourself, or if that's frowned upon.

This is one of the most useful questions imo. I'll start.   DBA-02: Sub-bass roll off   FXT90: Too much mid-bass    FXD80: Recessed mids   GR07 mkII: Slight treble roll off     Also does anyone have any iems they consider to have no flaws? I've never heard one.

This forum has been incredibly helpful in my newfound love of higher end audio equipment. So, thanks!   I thought I'd ask this question:   I currently have the Westone 3s, but would like to upgrade them. I've been looking at the JH5, Shure se535, and the Westone 4r. I've absolutely loved...

Hi everyone.   I'm looking for an upgrade from my Westone 3. Will be using this with S9 or my iPod classic 120 6g but I dont know which amp...   Open to other suggestions.   Thanks, Leon

What would you guys recommend for around $300?   I listen to mainly soft alternative and a little bit of jazz.   I'm not a big fan of earphones/iem but I expecting to be traveling soon and   I don't want to lug my headphones around.   So which eaphone or iem would you guys...

I know there are lots of threads asking for recommendation like this one and as I don't want to steal much of your time I'll try to be as clear as possible about what I'm looking for.   My Brainwavz M3 broke after a year and a half of moderate use (its actually possible to listen to them but...

Hi guys,   Firstly, I listen to music on a MacBook Air un-amped. This is solely for portability purposes as I do not want to be lugging around an amp every time I feel like listening to a song. Secondly, most of the music I listen to is encoded at 256kbps AAC and 320kbps MP3. Again, this is...

So I've been reading through reviews but still don't know what to go for. Price isn't a factor just looking for good IEM's for portable use. I listen mainly to dubstep (Zomboy, Eptic, datsik, excission, killabits etc) mostly american style UKF sometimes. I like electro as well. I'm looking for...

So I just walked in to Best Buy 2 days ago and fell in love with them!   Well they already broke. I took really good care, but the earbud part split apart!   Now I've read about people trying to glue it and stuff and I don't even want to have to deal with that, you shouldn't have to glue...

The plastic housing on one of my Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5 Pro broke. These have been discontinued and I can not buy another pair. I loved the sound signature of these. I have tried the Triple 10's and I didn't like the bass as much on those. To me, the Super Fi 5's weren't as harsh in the treble...

Greetings, fellows. I've been reading a lot recently about the new stuff coming out this year, and well, I was about to get the Shure S535, but I found some reviewers that point out that the bass perhaps is not as powerfull.    Still, they're my best option right now. Behind those, I would...

A little background on my audio quest. I started out with a pair of Klipsch S4i couple of years ago. Then when I got more interested in audio, I purchased the Radius HP-TWF11R Pro and I liked them, despite the lack of a good seal because of the design of the earphone. Then, they broke. I...

I have come to a dilema. I can't decided between the Westone UM3x or the Westone 3. Basically I listen to classic rock and alternative music. Queen, Kiss, Muse, The Who, Aerosmith....ect.... I was wondering that what would sound better with an amp and/or if these headphones even require an amp...

I bought my pair of Westone 3 many years ago, so basically I don't have the warranty anymore. Recently, I noticed that there was a slight rip in the cable, (location of which circled in the following image), and I'm wondering if it's absolutely necessary that I send it back to Westone for...
