Is there a plan to port existing ciems to the new socket type? http://pro.ultimateears.com/products/custom-accessories/maintenance-kits/out-of-warranty-repair-request I see only an option to change to mmcx.

and is the connection still snap-in?

IPX wouldn't happen to be referring to this would it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirose_U.FL It makes sense since radio frequency connectors seems to be the new age connector but this line is troubling: "Female U.FL connectors are not designed with reconnection in mind, and they are...

I've been using in-ear monitors for a while now and even went on to buy a custom set(ciem) but I've always had to contend with noises brought about by occlusion.  I never understood why people kept talking about the great levels of isolation that any in-ear monitors could achieve; the more...

Hello, Two questions: Firstly, To those with ciems, do you have long enough stems to eliminate the occlusion effect?  and do you care that you do or don't?   Secondly, Does anyone know of any of any custom ear tip or whole ciem manufacturers who specifically craft their product to...

Hey all,   // Questions: I was wonder if anyone has enjoyed their ciems with ambient vents? (not performing on stage, just for listening) How much isolation do you lose by going with ambient vents? How much bass do you lose by going with ambient vents? Can you plug the hole for increase...

Hey, I've pretty much stopped using headfi so sorry for the late reply.  I'm just going to dump my changes here about a year later with my miracles.   Regarding daps: I went from J3 to clip zip.  About a month ago I found a fuze v1 for 40$ at a shoppers drug mart so I'm using that now. ...

Hey Head-fi,   As the title suggests,  I've tried the sensaphonics audio seal test (the one where they play a 500hz tone and a 50hz tone, both simultaneous and alternating).  I need to verify that my logic is correct. As well, I need your help with deciding on an amp as consequence.  ...

Hey, I thought I'd comment on my experience with my W4 which has roughly the same shape as the W2.   I've had the right channel black out on me a few times (~4 times) and believe it had to do with earwax having gotten inside the shell.  I never actually got the wax out and I'm afraid of...

Quote: I don't think this matters too much.  To elaborate on the sound coming out of my "custom > to the front bay (with a 6.5mm plug) > x-fi platinum", the sound is much more controlled and flatter albeit a weaker overall sound.  Most immediately noticeable is there's less low end bass but...

Just the J3. I don't normally use the x-fi with headphones by directly connecting them,  I go through the front panel instead.   Sorry, I didn't see a mention of Rocoo Ba.  It looks....sharp.  I usually keep my player in my pants pocket...that might hurt.  Anyway, at the price point it's at...

Clip+ ($29)- my reference choice so far.  Has rockbox, sd slot, and the clip is generally loved by all. Teclast X19HD ($40) - I think the clip is a better option with rockbox and sd slot. Colorfly C3 ($139) - looks really bulky. Sony Z1050 ($279) - love the gps option since I'm terrible at...

Right, I got the low impedance is good thing.   Thanks for the "quick answer".   I'm going to read about all the products you guys have introduced to me and make a decision then.       Thank you both.

oh yeah, they fit quite nicely.  The only time they break a seal is when I stretch my face horizontally as in a wider than normal smile or if I voluntarily distort my face to cause movement of the ears.  Nice thing about these are I don't have to look like a fool and do the whole...
