    Selling a pair of FitEar Parterres. In good condition, although I used them daily for the last few years. Absolutely gorgeous mid-centric sound, the best I've ever heard from in ears, but sadly I don't have much time to just and listen anymore and value convenience a bit more. Comes with the...

    New Audio Technica Limited Edition Woodies: ATH-ESW9LTD!!

      Few meaning two weeks ago. It was sold on Head-Fi -- probably just someone who just didn't think it was right.   It's a pretty great headphone -- I'm likely going to keep it. I've been pretty out of the headphone game though, so I don't have any great comparisons. It does have that great AT...

    New Audio Technica Limited Edition Woodies: ATH-ESW9LTD!!

    I bought a used pair a few weeks ago. Didn't like them at all the first couple of hours listening, felt really congested. However, I gave it time and either it opened up, or more likely, I got used to it after only using IEMs for a while. Amazing with female vocals, the best I've ever heard there.

      Oh my. Those are gorgeous, much better than the stock photo. Tempted to buy them -- is PriceJapan the best option for those of us in the US?

    Aurisonics ROCKETS: Impressions Thread

    If anyone's looking for a pair, I'm selling mine. Just too difficult for me to get a fit on these guys. Too bad, cause they really do sound good.

    Aurisonics ROCKETS: Impressions Thread

    Honestly, the HD600 is what comes to mind for me. Mid-centric, slightly anemic bass and soft treble. If I remember right though, you used to own them so maybe you have different thoughts about them than I do?   I just ordered some MEElec ear guides, so hopefully they'll help me with the fit of...

    Aurisonics ROCKETS: Impressions Thread

      Not surprised that you like these guys, coming from an ex-F111 owner myself. I still like the F111s more, but I couldn't justify owning them at their cost when something like the GR8s were almost as good but half the price. I'll disagree on the fit of the Rockets v. the F111 though -- the...

    VSONIC GR07 Impressions Thread

    Figured I'd ask here since it's the most likely place to get a response: does anyone not sure their ear guides for the GR07? If not, I'd love to buy them from you, PM me if you're willing to sell them!

    Aurisonics ROCKETS: Impressions Thread

    I just got the Rockets and like them quite a bit. They've got great mids like everyone else mentioned, but also are a bit mid focused. The bass and treble are both a bit soft compared to my reference (Grado GR8s, which I prefer over the GR10s), but they are incredibly smooth. They have less bass...

    FitEar F111 — Impressions, Reviews & Discussion (previously TO GO! 111)

      Mine stick out. Quite a bit too, almost as much as the TF10s. Definitely can't sleep in them.

      Hmm, that sounds quite good actually. I was just worried about it because I previously have owned the TF10, which I'd assume the JH13 was just an improvement of that type of sound. I'm guessing that's wrong?

        The Miracles might be exactly what I'm looking for then. I actually had them as the top choice to begin with, but then I did more research and cooled on them a bit.     Quote:   I didn't consider the JH13 because I heard it's rather V-shaped in it's response. I don't really like...

    Multi-Custom In-Ear Monitor Review, Resource, Mfg List & Discussion (Check first post for review links & information)

    Wondering if someone could help me out with choosing a CIEM. My price range is up to $1000, with the maker being in the US or at least not having to ship outside the US (so UM would be fine in this case). Reason is if the reshelling has difficulties, I don't have to deal with tons of shipping...
