Over ear IEM for under $100
Hey guys, in the market for some IEM again as I am giving away my Panasonic because they just don't fit me right on the go. I value comfort the most on the go and have great memories of UM3x with W3 medium tips and would get them again if money is no item. Unfortunately I don't really use my...- playingwithfire

Quick a/b of Beats Solo vs. ATH-ES7
Ok, seeing that there isn't a whole lot of beats solo impression in this forum and since my roommate just won a pair from Staples. I'll do a quick a/b with my ATH-ES7. It's not in the same league as HD 600 so I won't even try. First I want to say that the beats solo seems pretty stylish...- playingwithfire

How's the DT 990 vs. the HD 600? And amping question.
So I'm a college student. I drive my HD 600 with iBasso D4. Far from ideal but it was the cheapest decent DAC/Amp option at the time. Now that I see DT 990 250ohms on sale at amazon for $160 I'm slightly tempted. A couple questions 1. How's the sound of the DT 990 vs. the...- playingwithfire

Couple questions with an underdriven HD600
Hey guys, I have had the HD600 for about a months now and for the most part pretty happy with just driving them with the D4 with topkit. I have no plan to get a desktop amp anytime soon, just don't have room and money for it. But I do have money for some minor upgrades. I am mostly happy with...- playingwithfire

Suggestion for IEM around $100
Hey guys, got a pair of HD600 today and after about 5 hours of listening I've decided that they are going to be my home pair and since I am a poor college student, I cannot justify keeping the HD 600 with my Ortofon eq7 even though I like the Ortofon just as much. So I'm looking to downgrade to...- playingwithfire

Non-audiophile impression of W2, W3, UM3X and previously MTP, RE0
First, let me preface this and say that I am not an audiophile, that's my dad. I'm merely interested in finding a pair of IEM that will work for me straight out of my iPod which may not be the best source but certainly has to be one of the more popular mobile player anywhere. Growing up with my...- playingwithfire
