Listen to music 99% of the time on the iPhone, but want to make sure I get my calls on both the iPhone and BlackBerry.I guess this...

    UE 900s vs Fidue A83

    I was looking for a nicer set of IEMs with iPhone controls. I was looking at getting the UE 900s or the Fidue A83 (+ new cable).   Always concerned about durability on UE and concerned about buying from a Asian manufacturer.   Curious about thoughts from the fellow Head-Fiers. I know I...

    Looking for a new set of IEM

    Looking for recommendations for a new set of IEMs. I have just started looking and was hoping to get some direction.   Requirements: Balance sound with some good bass - I know balanced plus bass sounds like an oxymoron! Comfort - typically use these on 5-10 hour flights iPhone/iPad controls...

    Amp/DAC for my computer?

    Looking to replace my sound card with a DAC/amp. This will be driving a set of Definitive Technologies StudioMonitor 45s. These have a 90db sensitivity. Been looking at the Topping TP-30 or TP-32 but feel like 15x2 might not be enough. Am I nuts and it is enough? Or is there something more...

    Looking to add an amp to my computer

    Currently I have a Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 that I have had for a while. Not being satisfied with the sound, I decided to go a little overboard. I picked up some brand new Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 45s for a steal and was able to hook those up in place of the Klipsch satellites. It is a...

    IEM with iPhone control in the 100-150 range?

    Looking for a pair of IEM with iPhone/iPad control in the $100-$150 range. I listen to all sorts of music, but enjoy a nice bass punch. Sound isolation is fairly important as I wear them when riding the train. I have a set of Future Sonics Atrio m5 with the MG7 drivers. I really like those...but...

    Triple flange memory foam?

    While reading the September 2011 edition of Popular Science they had a quick blurb on the Etymotic MC2s. The description said this: "The MC2 earbuds seal off your ears with three tiers of dense memory foam. They block out more than 42 decibels..."   Memory foam triple flanges? I can't seem...

    Looking for comfortable Bluetooth headphones

    I have a pair of Motorola S9-HDs right now and they just don't fit my head very well. Does anyone have any recommendations for a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are more comfortable? I don't want something that will block out all the sound. I keep them at a pretty low level when I take the dog...

    Flanges for Atrio M5s?

    I have been spending the better part of 3 days trying on different tips on my Atrio M5s. Along with the included tips I tried the Comply P series standard and Olives. While the Olives are fantastic on my UM2s, they are just too short for the construction of the M5s. On another note, that is my...

    Cable for Westone UM3X with iPhone/iPod control/mic?

    Curious if there are any replacement cables for the Westone UM3Xs that have iPhone/iPod control or with a mic? Seems like it would be fairly easy to make since the cables are replaceable. I’m sure it’s a niche market….but I can’t imagine I’m the only one on here that would like such a cable.  ...

    Broken UM2s....AGAIN! Something tougher in the same class?

    For the second time in a couple of years I have broken the left tip on my Westone UM2s. First time I have no idea how it happened and this time I was trying to get a stubborn olive off. I'm a little frustrated since I am beyond careful with anything I own.....especially IEMs that I spent a good...

    Ultrasone PRO 550 3.5mm LONG cable?

    I have a pair of Ultrasone Pro 550 and I really like them.....except for the 0.8m 3.5mm cable. It came with a long coiled cable, but it's got the 6.3mm end on it. Where can I find either a coiled or straight threaded 3.5mm cable that's significantly longer? Just trying to use this with my iPhone...

    Wife wants an upgrade...thoughts?

    My wife is over her Shure E3c after 4-5 years. I think she might be over the in-ear thing. She mentioned the Beats by Dre Solo and I just can't let her do that. I would like to find something in that same price range (199 MSRP) with iPhone/iPod controls that are somewhat portable. She listens to...

    Does the fit on the UE 5vi stink? Or is it just me?

    I was looking for a halfway decent set of in ears for when I am at the gym. I had a pair of UE 4vi that I inherited and thought they were decent for the gym and other general listening. I like the button! I decided to upgrade to the 5vi and I might be nuts, but the fit on these stink! They...

    Measurements on the Shure Olives?

    I'm looking to try out the Shure Olives and just not sure what size to get. I looked around for measurements on diameter and length but coming up short. I am currently using the Westone long comply tips on my UM2s and my wife uses the Westone short comply tips on her E3cs. The longs are 16mm...
