I usually go to bestbuy.com and sort by price from high to low. Also, click in 'show best buy items only' on the left side, that will eliminate any third party sellers. They're all within my price range, the ie80 is the most expensive pair we sell at $450 and they came to $300 with my discount...

Anyone?

Hey guys, I need some help making a decision on IEMs. I recently decided to pull the trigger and use the last bit of my Best Buy employee discount before I put in my two weeks resignation to buy some decent IEMs for college. Impedance and ease of driving are going to be a pretty big factor in...

Quote:   I'm going to have to see if I can get my hands on a pair to try out. From all that I've read, they seem like they'll fit my needs pretty well. 

Quote:   Those UE600's look nice to me. I'll look into all of them though, thanks!   Quote:   Best Buy does carry the DT770, what do you think about them over others in that range? How would you say they compare to, say, the Bose QC15, Bowers & Wilkins P5, Shure SRH840, or the...

Alright, I've been furiously researching and I'm kicking myself over whether to get the Audioengine A5+, Audioengine A2, Klipsch ProMedia, or bookshelves with a small speaker amp.   Also, could anyone take a stab at IEMs that would work for me keeping my first post in mind? Thanks for all...

Quote: I'll have to try them all out in the store, I don't think it'd be fair to judge them without trying them first. Hopefully they'll have a good enough selection on display.

Quote: I'll definitely have to check them out next time I'm at the store. Do you enjoy the colored sound of something like Beats or the Image S4s? Those are about the most colored I can think of and I hate that kind of muffled, compressed spectrum of frequencies. Do the P5's have a similar...

Quote: Oh yeah, absolutely. That kind of stuff has some of the biggest markups in the entire store. Beats headphones are like $150 for their top model and I'd guess those Inspirations would probably be around $80 or so. But I'd much rather put that discount to better use on a quality pair...

Quote:   Those M-Audios you mentioned are actual close-field studio monitors, aren't those more for accurate sound when recording rather than filling a room with music? Also, you mentioned the FIIO E10. Would that work as just a DAC if I'm using already powered speakers like the...

Quote: I'd rather stay away from the smaller ones if at all possible, so that rules out the ESW9, and the A900X looks HUGE to me. So I think the UE6000 and the P5 are definitely on my list to try out in the store. Quote: I think if I can get a chance to hear the A2s just to make sure...

Quote: The dragonfly to me just seems like a toy. Perhaps I'm being too harsh, but I wouldn't want to plug anything into that in fear of breaking the output jack or a USB port. That's a pretty pricey investment for a "flash drive" of a DAC. I'm looking for more of an "interface" I guess...

Hey guys. First and foremost I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong section, I have a bunch of questions but I thought the headphones forum would be a good place to start.   In the coming months I'll be preparing for college and I'm really looking to get some nice audio gear to make the...

Quote: Perhaps you are right, sir. Anyway, I think I'll go with the RE262's and try my luck. Worst case scenario, HifiMan has a 30-day return policy. I'll have to consider getting one of those mini amps off of Amazon one of these days as well. Are there any around the size of the Fiio E6...

Quote:   Any other opinions or suggestions for another IEM that will work better for me without an amp? Otherwise I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one and buy a pair.
