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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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. ...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda

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...- mvalpreda
