Namaste - Hi in Hindi which is the national language of India..

Yes 4S is not suitable for portable players but if u buy an amp in the future, u can use the P-S adapter and enjoy the neutral flat sound of the 4S :)   What i would recommend is buy the 4P and enjoy it.... Or else just to put another twist :P you could look into the HF series ! They are...

if you are going to use the head phone out of your samsung player then i would recommend the ER-4p as its easy to drive. If you want to use the 4B, then you need to use an amp. I have personally not listened to the 4B, but am a huge fan of the 4P/S . I still continue to use the 4P every day with...

I have been using the D4 for a month now with the top kit and am astonished with its performance ! The topkit brings the vocal closer and takes the highs higher . Using with the included buffer, with ety-4p, the lows left me desiring more ! However with stock buffers the lows were brought up and...

Answers below   1.The cable on the ER series are very microphonic. Not ideal for exercise and running. They are supplied with a shirt clip but it does not help. The cable on the HF2/5 are any day better compared to the ER series. 2.They say that you can have best of both worlds with the...

Stick with the HF5's mate. I owned both and they sounded identical. However the ER-4P is better with an amp. The HF5 can be easily run from the ipod headphone out.   The only reason i prefer the ER-4 to HF5 is that it has replaceable cables and the fact that i got them off amazon sale  ...

You could also buy the drivers your self and send it to UM. I went that route and am satisfied with the results. I had the TF-10 before but i did not want to break it open so i bought the drivers from farnell and sent it to them !   The custom that UM built was any day better than the TF-10...

Go ahead with the ES5 . The reviews say that they are up there with JH13, beating them in certain aspects. However, the bass is told to be on the neutral side   The ES3x might have a warmer signature compared to the ES5 (From what i have read) however, if you are looking for bass then i...

@pinoyman,   Bro, keep the UE700's. Then buy a CI 22955 driver from Knowels/ digikey/ Farnel . Then ship all of it to UM and ask them to make a 3 way monitor. Works out cheaper and they sound amazing. I have the same set up. TWFK for mid and high and CI for the lows !    They blow the...

Yes, the time duration of membership and post counts should be the ones which enables a member to post on the FS forum. To many spammers these days and many friends getting cheated which is sad to see :(   Karthik

@ClieOS true that the TF-10 uses custom drivers. UM take the DTEC used in the TF 10 and uses the same as a low driver for the TF-18. Other than that both the TF-18 and W6 are identical.    However, Felix is the right person to answer these questions.

IMO both the TF-18 and the W6 use identical drivers and cross over network. So if some one can clarify if this is true, then both iem's should sound the same !   Edit: Yup both IEM use identical drivers. TWFK for the highs, DTEC for the mid and lows. So in case of the W6- they retain the...

I am using fluke which seamlessly integrates into itunes and enables FLAC to be played through it. I also tried comparing FLAC played through itunes and "Play"- another player, and finally settled on fluke and itunes as it was easier and user friendly. BTW both play and itunes sounded the same
