Interesting sound... if you have a cheap pair somewhere try it, sure bass is impacted negatively below 150hz but almost everything else is yesssss, also nice to be able to hear whats going on, whats really going on around me

I have never been one to be told no :) A couple of years ago I purchased (here) some Fostex EMU drivers, I tossed them in a set of Koss cans (yesterday) because the size of the cups look close to the fostex cups. I added some modeling clay to the baffle and glued cloth to the hard shiny...

Lots of talk on Head-fi about bass, mids and highs, Over the years I have noticed some headphones make understanding what the words of a song actually are (instead of just humming the tune I know the words because the words are ****clearly*** audible ) Often the vocals are smeared or lost...

A few weeks ago I saw some drivers for sale here @ headfi in the 'cables speakers tweaks forum'   http://www.head-fi.org/t/816010/fs-emu-teak-drivers-drivers-only   maybe the same drivers that are in the $1200 Fostex TH-900 ??   for $150 !   photos looked good to me, the ones i could...

can anyone suggest a 'high quality' great sounding driver for headphones I can buy online and install into some headphones i already own ?

can i buy an inline device so i can have a conversation with someone without having to remove my iems?   whats it called and where do i buy it??   :D

from my research it seems Bose do have 30% better noise canceling ability then the rest.   is the technology they use different?   its all about playing the opposite sound to the unwanted noise right?    if other companies cant use the Bose patented tech,   how are they doing it...

id like to be able to enjoy music while i refinish/sand floors. (i do about 15 a year with my work)   its a pretty noisy job, would active noise canceling headphones work or do i need to diy/custom build myself a pair of really isolating headphones? 

i have a few pairs of headphones id like to re cable,   these are simple modest headphones so i dont want to spend $100 a foot on cable,   id just like a link to some ok/good cable for headphones.   ill solder plugs on.

My first 'custom' arrived today, from fisher/in ears., had em in about 60 minutes so far, im VERY impressed, fit and comfort is excellent ( i made my own impressions) i had them use a pair of MEElectronics A151 as i wasnt ready to drop a lot of money into my first customs, just in case.   i...

1. how do companies that do re-moulds/shells of custom iems get the tiny components out without damage?? can you imagine trying to get 2, 3 or 5, tiny drivers out and their crossovers without damage?? hows it done?   2. can an iem be 'tuned' for a sonic signature with the placement of the...

i dont need the best, i would just like 'good' sound and comfy fit.   fisher wants $90 for a stock re mould or $150 for a custom.    they dont re shell dynamic.   so i want to buy good sounding BA stock iem to have made custom fit by fisher.   i prefer older well respected models...

trying to read through and understand 200 page threads is almost impossible (382,000 posts)   there are some questions I have that others may like to quickly reference?     1. where is the top 5 places to have a custom iem made/re shelled. (cost) ??   2.of those 5 places, which 2 has...

i love having a small... really small rig.   4 gigs clipped on my t shirt = awesome.   currently i use a sansa clips,   as i buy better iems im starting to want a better source   is there a source that has much better sq that is still pretty small?   or do i have to have a...

i see a lot of people here sending their new custom iems back for a refit/mould, sometimes more then once,   i just wanted to report an alternative,   i recently got some used 'custom' iems from here in the for sale forum, and the fit was good, but not perfect.    i have a set of...

1.how do they re-mould an iem? a tiny ear piece with multiple fragile components inside and a solid block of silicone/plastic?? containing them   how do they get the components out without damage?       2.if the cost of a re-mould is about $250 + the cost of the original iems = $500...

given we all use our favorite tips,   dont ya think reviews that mention comfort are kinda pointless?   a comply is a comply right?

when my brain wants to think about something i have no choice but to tag along.   its been thinking about ways to get the best sound and comfort out of IEMS, without spending lots of money.   its latest idea was to wrap some 'easy mould'  ...

Shure e2c purchased for $20 because the original cables were cracked and intermittent,     thought id give new cable a shot? (salvaged from some other unwanted *cheap* headphones)   the work was not too bad, to hard or to small.   and they now work perfectly  !!  :)  

on another forum i frequent, there is a permanent thread intended only for people who have seen a great deal on the www to share with other forum members.       iems, full size, amp and sources......?     basically any great deals for portable listening.....

      made a mould of my inner ear, no wonder normal iem tips dont feel comfortable eh !! ??

ive searched and find threads from 2005-2007, is the SoundMAGIC E30 still the best for my intended use??

anyone  know anything?   http://www.carvinguitars.com/products/EM902

Re-Zeros purchased from Mapleshade have been cryogenically treated to significantly reduce edginess from digital music sources.   says so right here,   http://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Hifiman-RE-Zero-In-Ear-Headphones/productinfo/REZERO/     anyone owned and used both cryo'd and...

the only thing i dont like about the deal is that the cables are not replaceable.1 mistake and they are useless.
