    Sennheiser IE60 Review and Impressions Thread ~

    I want to purchase the Sennheiser IE60 but I never have tried the IE line for Sennheiser because they are usually more expensive than the CX line. I have owned the Sennheiser CX 300, 500, 680, 880 and 980 canal headphones. From reading forums over the years, I have discovered that in general the...

    Reply to review by 'usama' on item 'IE 60 - Audiophile Grade Hi-Fi Sound Isolating In Ear Earphones'

    I want to get the IE line for Sennheiser but from what I have experienced read, if I want noise isolation, I should stick to the CX line.

    Sennheiser IE60 Review

    Have you owned other in ear canal sennheisers? If yes, how do these compare to them? I bought the cx980 but found out that the IE60 have the lumeller/double flange tips that I enjoyed so much on cx500.

    [FYI] Various IEM's tips pictorial comparison (updated Sept 29th, 2011)

    The foam tip included with the cx 980 provides the best isolation but I dislike using foam tips because they degrade over time. Help me find silicone rubber double or triple flanged tips for my cx 980 that will fit. I have included pics of the stem for cx 980 to help in the search. If someone...

    Has anyone gone back to hearing the iPOD stock earbuds after being away for a long time?

    I almost felt like crying, when I had to use my stock HTC earbuds, after my sennheiser cx 500 died. Gladly, I only had to suffer for about 3 days before I upgraded.

    Sennheiser cx 980 thoughts and impressions

    I don't claim to be an audiophile. In fact, due to my upbringing around my culture's folk music, I would label myself a bass-head.   To give you an idea of how unreliable my thoughts are compared to other headfi'ers, here is my somewhat accurate IEM history:   1995-2006: many crappy 10$...

    Sennheiser cx 880i (iphone) any experience with them?

    I found a good deal on these. A deal I wished I saw before I jumped on getting the Future Sonic Atrio M5's. Although, I know I should give the atrios a chance before I return them. I just have not found the right tip yet.   I used to have the cx500 so I was looking for a similar sound and I...

    Review, Future Sonics Atrios: Comparison between different tips

    Thank you for making this thread. Right now, I am using the grey tips from fs for my atrio m5 mg7 "environmentally friendly" addition headphones because they are most comfortable at the moment. I will give the small silicone tips a try for sure later on.

    [REVIEW] Future Sonics Atrio M5 with MG7 transducer

    Thank you for this comprehensive and informative review of these headphones. I just recently purchased the atrio M5's, after listening to music with my sennheiser cx 500's for over 2 years. I loved my cx 500's but I stopped caring for the cx 500 like they were a child after two years then they...

    Fake Monster Turbine Pro Copper: Comparing REAL vs FAKE

    I just bought some monster turbine gold pair off of kijiji seller in Alberta Canada. There are no typos on the packaging and model # near the serial barcode is MH TBB-P IE GLD. However, at the top it is fully sealed. There is no hole for it to hang like others have mentioned. But I hope that is...

    Sennheiser CX500s or CX300 IIs?

    I think it is a better choice. The volume control is not sensitive. You would have to slide it with your finger to move it, rubbing against your shirt won't move it. By the way, I only tried the CX300 originals not the CX300-II.

    Sennheiser CX500s or CX300 IIs?

    I have owned both the CX500 and cx300. I kept the CX500 because of the volume control, the higher quality build, and the CX500 did not have over-powering mid-bass like the CX300. Yes, you will have to go under your shirt to use the volume control. When I wear the cx500 under my shirt, the...
