    Looking for something Smooth/Laid Back/easy to drive - $400 or less

    Posted in the main suggestion thread a couple times, but no responses.   Looking for something with a laid back sound, smooth top end, non fatiguing. If any frequency is forward, I'd prefer it to be the mids or a little extra midbass for a warm sound. Balanced is still fine though, as long...

    The Temporary Swap/Comparison Thread

    There are always some earphones I'm interested in hearing without buying first. I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same. There is a for sale/trade section but this would be slightly different. I'm not sure if this is an acceptable idea or not, but I'm open to input. I know people sometimes...

    Maybe getting back into the game. Out of the loop. Need guidance.

    Hey everyone. Some of you might remember me from a while ago. I've been out of the high-fi thing for a while, but since I finally have some spare cash again I am considering buying some nice IEMS again. A little about my experiences:   I have owned the IE8, W3, UM3X, PFE, HD25, E2C, ER6i...

    IEM fit

    Looking to get rid of my Atrio's because I can't find a good fit. I can get them in pretty far with great bass but only if I hold them in there. They won't stay in place, so - I'm looking for a different pair that would be similar soundwise but should be easier to get a good fit with (smaller?)...

    Prog Rock/metal IEMS?

    Did some searches but never came up with anything definitive. I've been looking at the FX-500's because I liked the IE8's a lot and they are within my budget (Around $200 at the moment. Could go up to $4-500 as I sell things) but I've seen some people say they are not good for metal. I'll be...

    USPS used to be a rock for me

    Now they're just full of disappointment. Mailed someone a package last monday via USPS Priority. No updates on it until today only to find out after a week they have moved it from Syracuse, NY to Rochester, NY - aka 45 minutes away. Pretty bad. I also ordered something Wednesday. It was...

    Does the clip have folder browsing yet, or just the fuze?

    NYS Online Sales Tax

    Is complete trash. I'm now extremely hesistant to buy online, especially from sites such as Amazon. I recently bought a Sony X, which in the budget I had planned would have been $400 shipped, but thanks to the newly enacted NYS online taxes, it cost me $430 + shipping. I've been looking into...

    Can any IEM match or beat full sized headphones in terms of staging?

    Making a new thread for this due to the bickering in the JH13 pro thread. I'm sure it's been done before, but here's a new one for the times. I owned the IE8's which had a fantastic soundstage which I think could probably compete with some decent full sized cans. I haven't owned any, so I'm...

    Amp for HD25's and PFE's?

    I have a couple Sony players at the moment, as well as an ipod and D2. I own the PFE's and will soon have some HD25's. I'm not concerned about powering anything on my D2's but the Sony's could use some help and the PFE's could use some help anyway in terms of low end. Budget is $100-150.

    Looking for a player, Sony, Cowon, other?

    I'm looking for a few things. 1. Minimum 16 gigabytes, 32 preferred. 2. No preference on flash or HD based. 3. Functioning and useful equalizer. 4. Drag and drop capability preferred but not required. 5. Video capability 6. Good battery life. 25+ hours of audio would be great. I own a...

    W3 + CK100's or FX500's?

    I currently own the W3's, PFE's, NE-7M's, and CX400's. My DAPS are a Cowon D2, Sony A818 and 30 GB Ipod Video. I liked the sound signature on the IE8's but sold them mostly due to fit issues. The FX500's sound interesting but so do the ATH-CK100's but there's a pretty big price difference. I...

    ATH CK100 deals?

    Considering buying some ATH-CK100's soon when I have the money. I live in the US and am wondering if anyone knows where they can be bought from at a good price. The lowest I've seen is 372+shipping, so it'd be around $400 from this site. audio-technica ATH-CK100 - Hovanfue Any better...

    Looks like the word is no warranty transfers and the guy got lucky.

    Trade Tips/other?

    I've lost some of my tips/filters and was wondering if anyone would be interested in trading for some that I have that I don't/can't use. I could use some grey/black (or equivalent) pfe filters, small silicon pfe tips as well as some medium olives and maybe some backups of other tips I use.. I...

    Westone UM3X Thread

    Doesn't look like there's a thread for this yet so I figured I would start one as I just received mine. I took some pictures for everyone. The quality isn't very good since I don't have a digital camera so my apologies! Initial impressions on sound - sounds...

    Can't seem to get replies in Full Sized

    Well, I've been trying to get some responses in full sized headphones for a few days now and it's just not happening. I'm not sure what the problem is as I've been quite descriptive and given all the information that would be necessary for a response. I've even narrowed it down to a few options...

    SR225 vs HD595 vs HFI780 Unamped?

    Made a thread here not too long ago. Didn't quite get the responses I was hoping for so I tried coming up with some more specific choices for this one. I've decided to try and keep things at around $200, although if anyone suggests anything significantly better my budget could double to the $400...

    Considering buying some Full Sized Cans

    Hey everyone. I generally stick to the IEMS section because almost all my listening is done on the go, or at least through a portable player. I do little listening on my computer. Right now I'm listening to my D2 --> Senn IE8's and it's pretty common I do something like this because I don't have...

    Expanding my musical boundaries?

    I currently listen to quite a bit of stuff, but there's a lot of music I don't listen to and certain stuff I really just stay away from. I don't really listen to country, much rap, rnb, trance, techno etc. I listen to all sorts of stuff from Anime Music (which I generally classify as orchestral...

    Where to buy the IE8 now for Americans?

    I did a search and I've asked inside the IE8 appreciation thread a couple times with no responses. There was only one recommendation which was a foreign shop. Are there any places inside the US selling the IE8 for under $450? I saw them for $350 just a few days ago and now they've skyrocketed...

    Brainwashed by my D2?

    I've been an Ipod user for a long time. It was my first, and second mp3 player. Then I decided since my second one didn't seem like it would last much longer to shop for a new one. I tried a Zune at first but I got a defective battery so I took it back and ended up ordering a 16 gb D2 + 16...

    IE8's and cost?

    I currently own a few IEMS, in my sig. I like the PFE's in some aspects, Nuforce NE-7M's in others. I generally wear my PFE's with grey filters unamped, and I don't really have a good amp. As I generally port it around, even wear it in my gym class I don't want to bring an amp. I have the E3 and...

    Have PFE's+Nuforce NE-7M's but listening to CX400's

    But not because I think the CX400's are better. Sometimes it's just good to switch things up! The PFE's are great and I love them, but I haven't listened to my Nuforce NE-7M's or Senn CX400's since I got the PFE's so I thought I would. The 7's are sort of a middle ground between the Senn's and...

    The basshead misconception?

    Seems that most people here don't think of this term as the same thing. A lot of people here consider the Nuforce NE-7M's to be colored toward the bass end and a lot of people were like omg I'm not a basshead but I need more bass than this. It's not just those phones. Anyway, my point is that...
