moving on from IE7   been using it since 09 i believe, recently acquired an UM3xRC and just giving my feedback   without too much detailed review anywhere on IE7 i have to say this is fairly underrated phones, and although the westone offers better clarity in return it compromise on...

just bought one and i have tm says it's great for the price i find the drum beats a little uncontrolled, uses higher volume and narrower than my ie7. but that's right out the box, at prices like this it's essentially guilt free

i am looking into sennheiser 680s and wondering if i should be getting it rather than something normal   ever since my stock earphone breaks i have been using my ie7 as my jogging partner   should i get a sweat resistant phones?   what other cohices do i get?   thanks

i am suddenly hear some details i missed out on my ie7 after 150-200(i lost count) hours at first i thought it was someone outside talking to me or making noises, it wastn'! as said before i didn't notice much change past 50-100, but it seems to be opening up again foam tip is what i use.

surprisingly i now fall in love with the stock foam tip, as i have mentioned over and over through this page i rated foam as the best sound but poorest fit; i was impatient. i finally found out the foam is heat sensitive so that i need to wait a little for the foam to become soft before i can...

i will get CX500 and pretend you have not read anything on head-fi and be satisfied with... head-fi burn cash

after >150hours, i still find stock foam offers the best sound, then stock tip and lastly stock bi-flanges but in terms of isolation, biflanges > normal tip > foam it is a shame that sennheiser cannot make the foam that fit better so i don't have to make compromise and use their stock...

monster might be a better contender against ie6

one has to be cautious about dynamic phones' review as at times reviewers might not have enough time to give them an adequate burn in time (don't have either so i won't comment on them, but ie7 has been great for me )

been using bi-flanges(stock) lately and i find them to be adequate in isolation. but i still prefer the sound from stock tip(large) more. if somehow foam sleeves fits, i find them to be even more pleasing, but again it never last for more than 10seconds...

for me the ie7, after hearing for sometime, i can't seem to find any strong point of it; BUT, i don't feel it lacks anything. it is by no mean etymotic neutral though
