    How to choose ear tip size for IEMs / canalphones?

    Sorry for asking a very basic question, but I don't understand how tip size, seal, comfort, and security are all related. At work, I use FiiO FH3s. At home, I often use AirPods Pro. Both headphones have soft silicone tips that come in a variety of sizes: small, medium, large. What I've noticed...

    Need recommendations on wired earbuds / IEM for high-security area

    I will be working at a job where I will be working in a high-security area. I am allowed to listen to music from an unclassified computer, but any headphones that I use cannot have microphones of any kind. I would like some help identifying some potential headphones that will work in this...

    EarPods..! - Its what apple calls its next gen Earbuds.. Fancy anyone?

    My pair showed up, and I've been trying them out for the last couple of days.  My first impressions:   Bottom line up front: They sound much better than the last generation Apple earbuds.  The more solid construction and inline controls are a nice bonus too. Fit and seal is a big issue...

    EarPods..! - Its what apple calls its next gen Earbuds.. Fancy anyone?

    Thanks for all the initial reviews.  I have a pair that will be delivered today or tomorrow, and I'm excited to try them.  Although a real IEM would offer superior sound and isolation, IEMs simply aren't practical for me to wear at work.  I am constantly interrupted by phone calls or people...

    Any thoughts on HT-21 vs. PX-200 II?  The reviews imply that they have a lot of characteristics in common...but the HT-21s are half the price.

    My personal impressions on Meelec CC51

    How does the sound compare to the Apple Dual-Driver IEMs?  The price is comparable, and the form factor is comparable...was just curious about whether the CC51s would be an upgrade from the ADDIEMs.  (From what I've experienced, the ADDIEM has a similar signature -- a lot of detail, and...

    Review: MEElectronics HT-21 – Loud & Clear!

    How does the HT-21 compare to the Sennheiser PX200-II?  From reading reviews, it seems like they have a lot in common in terms of form factor and sound signature...but the HT-21 is about half the price.   I tried the PX200-IIs and liked the sound, but was also surprised that I had to turn up...

    ATH-CM7 versus ATH-CM700 versus Ti versions?

    Hi! I'm a long-time lurker, first-time poster at this forum. Since your advice has already steered me towards a great set of full-size headphones, I wanted to ask for your advice about non-IEM earbuds to pair up with my iPods. (Strangely enough, I don't like the feel of IEMs, but find non-IEM...
