Thank you!

Hey folks. I often use IEMs in bed because they won’t disturb my wife. Do these sit in flush enough to lie on your side without grinding them into your ear canal? Perhaps with a softer pillow?

So much for 6 week wait I'd prepared myself for - my TH-X00s have already been handed to DHL! Not bad considering I joined in the final hours. It seems the fulfillment problems of the earlier drops have been resolved. I hope the QC ones have too. I can't wait to hear them!

Good to know ;)

Hopefully I'll still like them enough for the commute - I don't want to break the TH-X00s like I have so many others :)

Thanks for the responses everyone! I went to my local store and tried as many of your suggestions as they had in stock. In the end I opted for an E17K Alpen 2 DAC amp. I know I said I didn't want to cart an amp around, but I figured it was no worse than carrying a player and a phone. What...

I'm glad to hear they are as good for hip hop as I was hoping! I've come to realise that I already have pretty much perfect travel 'phones in the ATH-M50X. They leak absolutely nothing, even when they're absolutely bouncing. They sound great, and they're as close to indestructible as I'm likely...

Thanks for the replies here and on PM folks. After watching and reading a load of reviews I crumbled and ordered the Fostex TH-X00 from Massdrop. I'm going to assess the leakage and if they are OK for the office I'll do the removable cable mod. For anyone else who's considering these, here...

I'm seriously close to joining the Fostex TH-X00 drop. I know they go against many of my criteria (heavy fixed 10ft cable, semi-open with sound leakage) but every review I've read or watched leads me to believe they are exactly what I want in terms of sound. If they are as great as people say I...

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Thanks for the reply! I'll try to find somewhere I can test the B&Ws at lunch. They are the same price as the Fostex THX-00 that I just realised are on Massdrop right now. They don't tick the portability box as well as some other options, and apparently they leak a lot, but I am so tempted! I'm...

Hi folks, I'm searching for my next set of headphones, but some of the options I'm looking at need amplification. I really don't want to have to carry around and keep charged an amp (I already have a Fiio E11) as well as my phone and potentially a player too. Is there a portable MP3 player...

It's that time again - I am looking for some new cans and I'm hoping to get some ideas here. Any suggestions from you kind and knowledgeable folk would be enormously appreciated. Wish list Sound: I mostly listen to 80s 90s and 00s HipHop so bass is of paramount importance. Lots and lots of...

I just realised I posted this in the wrong forum. @Mods - please accept my apologies and delete this thread. Thanks!
