    VERY inexpensive Ear Buds?

    Hello All, Long story short my wife said she would buy ear buds for our son's entire class (23+ kids).  I know this is not exactly the type of question we getrhere but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with really cheap ear buds (Not IEM's), not concerned with sound as much as...

    [REVIEW] Fostex T50RP, it's been needing a Review

    Hello All, I just received my pair of T50's and I have to say reading the OP's thoughts made me laugh because they were very similar mine.  I am relatively new to this whole thing but have been enjoying mobile audio for a year now and have tried a number or IEM's including RE0's, DBA-02's...

    Best IEMs for my needs under $200?

    I had a pair of DBA's which I loved but they lasted all of 6 weeks till one of the channels went out. In my quest to replace them I ended up getting a set of HF5which I was very impressed with except for the quantity of bass.  I was just about to pull the trigger on a set of B2's when I found a...

    Sony MDR-EX600: Impressions Thread

    Hey all, I have been posting in this thread (http://www.head-fi.org/t/569001/sony-mdr-ex600-vs-vsonic-gr07/45#post_7748029) but it seems like this one is a bit more active.  I have a couple posts about my first, not so positive, experiences with the EX600's on the other thread but I wanted to...

    HELP! Cmoy Vs Fiio E11

    I was in your boat a couple months back.  I was anxiously waiting on the release of the E11 and when it came out i read all the reviews and then stumbled on a comparison of a number of different amps and after waiting all that time decided to go with the JDS CMOY and could not be happier, some...

    The point of an amped iDevice? (And external SS amps in general)

    Only been in this game for 10 months or so but this is my take on it.  My IPhone 4 drives all my IEM's (RE0's, DBA-02's, HF5's, EX600's) just fine and they all sound great out of the Iphone but when I add my CMOY the whole sound gets bigger.  I just did a A/B test here and on my EX600's the...

    Sony MDR-EX600 vs Vsonic GR07

    Quote: I did forget to mention that I too find the sound stage superior to the HF5's but other than that they are very similar.   From what I have read the HF5 have a bit more bass then the ER-4X's and running them through the JDS Labs CMOY the bass is pretty equal between the 600's and...

    How do the HF5 compare to RE-ZERO?

    The more IEM's I listen too the more I like the HF5's and think they offer huge value.  I have had RE0's, DBA02's, S4's and just got a set of EX600's and think the HF5's stack up well against all of them.  I bought the HF5's after my DBA's crapped out about 6 weeks into ownership and after...

    Sony MDR-EX600 vs Vsonic GR07

    So I received the EX600's on Friday and and have close to 20 hours of burn in on them and I think I may be returning them.  There is nothing wrong with them but then again I am not hearing anything special out of them, last night I did a lot of A/B comparing with the HF5's and boy do they sound...

    Sony MDR-EX600 vs Vsonic GR07

    I just found this thread and happy I did so.  I just ordered a set of EX600's after finding them for $125 shipped new from an authorized dealer.  I have a few sets of IEM's (RE0, DBA-02, S4, HF5) and right now I am enjoying the HF5's a lot but I still miss the punchyness of the DBA's which...

    JDS Labs Rock!!!!!!

    I made up a harness for the 9V connector and then just used a JST connector that I use in my small planes.  The plug is polarity protected and I have used them for up to 10A current so it has plenty of over head.  I now use my smaller (500-800mah) batteries in my CMOY and loving it.  I usually...

    Bugden Audio Customer Service?

    Quote: I think Fischer Audio is at fault as well, I sent them a number of e-mails and never heard back from them.     Cheers, Jim

    Help with an Etymotic HF3 issue

    I just listened to that track off of Itunes at 256K and I heard nothing weird on my HF5's.  I have found a few tracks where it is obvious that the recording is of low quality and the Ety's make that very clear.  I am guessing I have some 200 hours on my HF5's and I am loving them, I am using a...

    How much difference does a portable amp make?

    I have been playing with a JDS Cmoy for the last two weeks.  I am using it with a Iphone 4 and, mostly, my Ety HF5's and a LOD jack and while the HF's are easily driven I am hearing a pretty drastic improvement. Not sure exactly how to explain it but the JDS is suppose to add just a slight hint...
