Yeah, I think the reshell costs would be quite a bit, together with impressions, but I wouldn't really mind if the benefits of a custom mould pay off.  I wouldn't actually mind a long waiting time with BTG, since I got a pair of VSonic GR06 as a temporary earphone (actually damn good...

Hey everyone,    I am not exactly sure if this threat belongs here or in the IEM section, so I'm going to give it a shot, please, forgive me if it's not in the right one.  I have a pair of Westone 3, which I love to every bit, until the day that the right ear stopped working. Upon...

Quote: I can't talk about FiiOs as I have yet to hear the later ones, but I need to address your point...I have Westone 3s and they cost 250 pounds in the UK, which is about $300, I think. It doesn't always have to be the case that more expensive headphones profit more from amping. 

Quote: I would not, but since Wanted is so keen on the looks... so I guessed the sound would make him happy, since Wanted probably doesn't have such a trained ear. I have lots of friends with Beats and and Boses and after listening to all my headphones/ earphones they stated they are all...

IMO, wrapping around an iPod is a killer, specially with a straight plug. 

I wouldn't go for Vmoda, specially Vibes if it's a bass-hater. as far as I knwo, they have quite a bit of bass. If your friend doesn't mind earbuds, I would recommend Yuin ok2, I am not exactly sure how much they retail for but it might be what he needs- really decent clarity, comfortable and...

just get him the same and save yourself from headaches :) 

if you travel  with airplanes and trains, then yes. I never tried the monster beat NC though. if not, it's not such a neccessity. on the streets it's better to hear some cars :)    Honest thing is eveyone has differente opinions on good looking. For me the best looking are ADH-ES7. Since you...

Earsonics SM3 :) 

I don't know much about US/ international market so hopefully guys around here can help you better.

did you order them on play.com for 60 pounds?

I had the NS1000, it was a really nice pair of cans. They were really good for Pop and rock, haven't tried them for metal and hip hop.    Bass was really nice, punchy with a good resolution and spacing. out of sub 100pounds, this is the one I found that had the best bass.  comfort was also...

I only heard the beats... the bass is overpowering and eats the details... plus quite pricey for that performance. but Thierry Henry uses them ;)
