    Custom Art: Audio Cutting Out

    I'm looking for some help troubleshooting my "Music 2" from Custom Art. The *right* ear randomly and partially cuts out. What I've noticed so far: -The problem persists after changing cables. -It seems kind of random, meaning that it doesn't matter what position my body, the cable, or the...

    Custom Art – Music Two – Appreciation/Discussion/Impressions/Review Thread

    @davidcotton @Rwhulle Thanks for the recommendations!  LOL, I'm actually excited about the Linum line. I think that cables should disappear, and it looks like their engineers are working to make that happen.  But I might go with the Brevity cables, because i can get them with a mic, which...

    Custom Art – Music Two – Appreciation/Discussion/Impressions/Review Thread

    I'm surprised at the microphonics. I think it's because of the memory wire. It completely negates the dampening effect of wrapping the cable around the ear. The olds style (2 pin) Westone cables didn't have any memory wire on them (I think).  Does anyone know of a similar set of cables? I've...

    Custom Art – Music Two – Appreciation/Discussion/Impressions/Review Thread

    I just spent most of the morning wearing them.  I tried various types of music, went jogging with my dog, ate breakfast, etc, and I gotta say, I really like them.  My main reason for going custom was not so much sound, but comfort and practicality.  I don't like fidgeting with my IEMs, and these...

    Custom Art – Music Two – Appreciation/Discussion/Impressions/Review Thread

    They came in today!  This is my first pair of CIEMs, so I didn't know exactly what to expect.  I haven't had enough time to fully test them out, but the left monitor disappears within seconds of insertion, and is comfortable.  The right seems a little tight.  Reading the guide in The Headphone...

    Same here. I can't wait for them to be finished.  Is the turn around still 4 weeks?   Oops!  This was intended as a response to Diqkiq.

    VSonic GR07 vs HiFiMAN RE-400 ... did someone compare those 2 (???)

    Yeah, I think it's a shame that the re400 was ever so highly regarded.  Bad cables = bad phones.

    Custom Art – Music Two – Appreciation/Discussion/Impressions/Review Thread

    I'm having impressions made today.  The Music Two is probably what I'm going to buy. Any advice?  Is this IEM outdated (in this price range)?  My instinct is to go with detachable cable as I can swap it out if I don't like it, or it wears out.  What's the consensus on that?

    VSonic GR07 vs HiFiMAN RE-400 ... did someone compare those 2 (???)

    I think I have the second issue of the GR07.  It's older than the mk-2, but it's not the very first issue, which had slightly different packaging and accessories.  I think that the GR07 I have is in every way identical to the original GR07. It has black housing, and silvery translucent springy...

    VSonic GR07 vs HiFiMAN RE-400 ... did someone compare those 2 (???)

    I've been living with both these phones for a while.  I would say that my gr07s win by a landslide, except for the sibilance problems.  Here are my thoughts:   -The gr07s have a MUCH fuller richer sound.    -I'm shocked that some people give similar scores to the bass on these, the gr07 has...

    Reply to review by 'convergence' on item 'VSONIC VC02'

    I've heard of problems with the cables coming disconnected from the drivers. Has that been an issue for you? I hope to use these for my work out, and it wouldn't be worth it if they come undone all the time. If it is a problem, can it be solved with some super glue? One last thing, I've never...

    Hifiman 801 Appreciation thread

    I can't believe that HF players don't support gapless!  These are supposed to be high end players.  My $30 rockboxed clip plus does gapless just fine. Gapless is very important, and I won't spend money on a player that can't do it.    I think that it would have been great if they would have...

    GR07 - Tips Thread

    I just tried the grey foamy tips that came in the package.  They sounded great, and although the tips themselves were comfortable, they were longer than the sony (and fake sony) tips.  This caused the square housing to come into contact with the back part of my ear, and made these IEMs very...

    GR07 - Tips Thread

    freefallr:  You started your response with some question marks.  Do I need to clarify something in my post?  I agree that the sonys stretch easily over the stem.  The only difficulty I've had was with the tips that are very simillar to sony's line of hybrid tips.  They share sony's...
