    How long will Comply Foam tips last?

    so as long as i dont roll them, they could last as long as silicone tips, is that so? maybe its because of the deep insertion, i have no problem with the sound, its pretty much the same with that with silicon tips... my shure 215 (low end) doesnt come with yellow foam, but id say they wont...

    How long will Comply Foam tips last?

    i have a pair of comply tips that comes stock with my shure 215. i used small tips (inserted deeper relative to mudium tips) because i remove and insert them very often and i hate tip rolling. it still gives a very decent seal and superior (superior, i say) isolation. i usem them at least once a...

    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

    ugh darn i was about to upload the photos but the embedding thing is taking ages (asian connection services lol). due to its stiff memory wire, i managed to mold the wire such that the apex of the arch is parallel to mmcx connection and the space between them very narrow (where the very 'flap'...

    also, does ue ciem use the same cables w mmcx connectors? from the pictures, they dont look like mmcx'es at all and are they angled any more steeply?

    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

    umm, yes, i know. the stiff memory wire on the stock shures tend to push the iem body vertically down my outer ear and so i was hoping an angled connector, and thus have the body angled, and thus have more weight on the cable would help...

    Ultimate Ears UE 900 Discussion and Impressions Thread

    im thinking of buying the ue 900s... it comes with 2 cables, i know, blue w/ mic n remote and black audio only cable... would the black cable fit my shure (se215) iem? if so, i can replace the cables because the shure stocks are so uncomfortable

    [REVIEW/COMPARISON] ATH-AD900X vs ATH-AD1000X vs MDR-MA900 - It's STILL over 900!!!!

    i paid an equivalent of 200 USD for these but then these couldnt be any cheaper there in singapore. i thought these are of great value n was impressed by the rave reviews, freq. response n the driver diameter. the ad900x bass extends quite impressively. and the word is 'definition' - no boom, no...

    [REVIEW/COMPARISON] ATH-AD900X vs ATH-AD1000X vs MDR-MA900 - It's STILL over 900!!!!

    finally... a response to my activity... well, im tight on budgets n a-t is not at all available in my country (myanmar) so my ad900x had to be imported. it is by far the widest soundstage ever, but by an underwhelming margin... not something youd spend on a whole new headphone for... ehh, arent...

    the replacement iem cable thingy...

    so i just saw my friends UE iem with the cable with mmcx connectors, but they plug in the iem (UE900s) at a 45' (or so) angle and im looking for these to replace my shure stock cables (them big, straight plugs and stiff memory wire are uncomfortable). i searched through their...

    Westone UM Pro 10 vs SE215 Blue Bass Edition.

    Well, since "the regular todays hits" have evolved from the mid-centric to bassy type (and hence the rise of dr dre's brand beats) id say get the shure se215 clear (not special edition) save the $30 and spend less than $5 on a good equalizer app (i use poweramp for android) and youll hardly...

    Monster Pro Gold Turbine falling apart

    Im no so familiar with monster, but how about their ncredible ntunes (i think) series? My friend got that and it looked pretty decent. And btw, in from myanmar (perhaps youve heard of it..?) And i thought i wouldnt find a student-audiophile-SE asian here on HF so, yeah... nice to meet u

    EQ Bass Boost Help

    Lets make this short and sweet: i got a shure 215 to listen to bass-heavy music. I like the mid bass emphasis on them shures cause sub bass pretty much muddies the sound and i particularly like the punch. But when im angry (i am) i like to bring up the bass. I use android app poweramp w/ 10 band...

    Open headphone soundstage vs volume (?)

    Okay so i tried pairing my headphone to my tv (not so low end) and played the same songs on cd. Basically i assumed the DAC/amp of the tv is better at least than my smartphone and call this "placebo effect" i kinda hear a bigger soundstage. I dont plan on spending more on amps (im a student) I...
