Quote: +1   Owning both cal! and mh1c and can confirm these sounding similar with cal! to my ears being a bit sibilant and going a bit lower in subbass but also having a bit less bass overall(or is it just an impression I get due to construction difference). Dont get me wrong, CAL! have...

Is anyone able to directly compare M80 and Creative Aurvana Live! ? I would mostly be interested in comparing bass (bass extension, subbass presence), highs and isolation. Despite those two being totally different kind of beasts.

How about Audio Technica ath ad300? They look pretty comfy Couldnt find a lot about them here though Anyone familiar with them?

Looking for some headphones for a friend of mine. He will mostly use them at home and isolation is not very important at all. Comfort and SQ though considered as priority. Either closed or open design will do but preferably circumaurals would be more welcome Music preferences - most gendres...

Any idea how would these compare to K271mk2 or GMP 8.35 D Monitor for portable use straight out of an iPod?

I wasnt particularly happy about the kind of isolation IEMs gave me because even though they got their job done for blocking the outside noise i could hear every footstep while walking. This and the under water kind of feeling when having them in were quite annoying. I dont see anyone even...

Thanks for replies guys Im traveling to work by bus and coming back by walk trough busy streets so some isolation will be welcome. Thats why I stopped myself from getting ESW10 after I read that they fall short in this area. I wouldnt justify spending this kind of money on something what doesnt...

anyone please? where should I go for best midrange? nothing better i can get by doubling ath-m50s price?

Coming from disappointment with Westone 3 I decided to give closed cans a chance this time. I will use them at home and outdoors/commuting so size certainly matters. It has to perform well unamped since i will use it with sansa clip. Was about to take a plunge on ATH M50 until i heard about...

Need a headphone for home recording/entertainment and outdoor/commuting use. Good isolation is not as much important as reasonable for portable use size although more than welcome. Im listening to many gendres but mostly guitar based music so Im looking for sharp and detailed mids. Not...

I bought my W3 recently from here (WESTONE 3 Triple Driver In Ear True-Fit Earphones UM3 - eBay (item 350190554703 end time May-14-09 12:35:07 PDT)) and had them delivered to Ireland. Havent been asked to pay any taxes, charges, custom fees or vats whatsoever and even though they were sent with...

Are these (Triple Flange Sleeves for Westone 3, UM2, UM1, Shure SE series, SCL4, SCL5 and SCL3 (3 pairs)) same as the stock westone tri-flanges or not? And if not, what difference does it make? I was looking for the westone ones but couldnt find anywhere

Ever since I got my W3 I just keep analysing the way they sound and even though they give me fit and isolation I am very happy with, I found only few albums so far that i really enjoy with them. I guess mid bass hump and spiky highs, fun kind of sound (as the way I find them) is just not my cup...
