Do the "olives" fit snugly onto the UM-1, or would I have to mod them?   Also, I'm still interested in trying something new, so my other previous questions still stand.

I should also mention, I don't use an amp, and don't plan to in the future.

Hey Head-fi- I have to admit, I'm not really an active user here.  However, every time I've wanted to get a new pair of phones or wanted to get a recommendation for a friend, I've turned to you guys and you've never steered me wrong.   Last time I did this, I ended up with a pair of...

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but as my PX100s just died , I'm looking at the more 100-170 range now, and the new Super.fi 5s as well as the UM1s are tempting me... I know the UM1s are the kings of comfort, durability, and mids- can the Super.fis compete with them in these categories? What are...

Question about the Comply tips that come with the SF5s- about how long do Comply tips usually last you guys? Can you wash them like the Shure black olives? Also, how isolating are these things- could I mow the lawn with SF5s instead of earplugs?

Etymotic actually just created a line of gaming IEMs under the brand E.D.G.E Acoustics- the only ones they're selling right now (the GX400s) are $180, but they have some GX100s coming down the pipe that will be cheaper. No idea if these are good, but they're Etymotic so the sound is probably...

OK I think I'm between the iM716s and the UE Super.fi 3s. A few questions on the you guys might have answers to- are the iM716s well built/durable? What types of tips outside the ones provided by the manufacturer fit on the UEs and what types on the iM716s? Can you use Ety filters with the...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a new pair of IEMs for somewhere between $50-100. Here are the specifics on what I'm looking for:Good isolation- for travel Clean/clear sound with bass that is punchy but not thumpy or overpowering. I listen to a lot of alt/indie rock/electronica and like piano and...

Looking at Amazon, the ATH-CK7s are more expesive than both the Supers and the Etys... I think I'm leaning towards the Super.Fis. A couple questions... for super.fi 3 studio users, have you tried wearing them in the "modified" position (Ultimate Ears - super.fi MOD)- just wondering, this looks...

Hmm, that's strange, because everything I've read says that the ER6is have less bass than the supers. Anyway, while the reviews of the v-modas I've read have been good, they all cite the fact that their isolation is far worse than a normal IEM because they have a little vent hole to improve the...

Those Yuins aren't in-ear... so that kinda puts them out of the picture. But the Mylars look good, and the J-Jays look OK... I guess what I need most is comparisons... i.e how do the ER6is sound different than the UE s.f3s? How do they fit differently? Any other things that set them apart...

Hey everybody, the holidays are coming quick, and my old Sony Fontopia buds are starting to look a little long in the tooth. Last time I posted here you convinced me to pick up some Senn PX100s- which I LOVE- but now I need some IEMs, as my open PX100s don't isolate much at all when I travel...

Nevermind, the 414 mod I read about was for the old version of the PX100, which supposedly sounded kinda dark. The new ones are brighter from what I can tell.

My plan was 414 pads for home, standard pads for public places Assuming I can find a pair for a reasonable price.
