Anyone have suggestions. A good friend of mine gave me his opinion, which has been great in helping me decide, but I'm still torn. I love the price of the HD 25-ii, but I'm worried they will snap because of the plastic. Likewise on the DT 1350s, I'm worried about the metal bending from a good...

Hey Head-fi'ers   I'm looking to get a portable for my Beyerdynamic DT 1350. I listen to primarily rock, metal and ska, with the occassional pop, hip hop and rap.    Don't want to break the bank, but I don't know the average cost either, help would be appreciated. 

So Best Buy has an offer for 20-30% off MP3 player accessories and they have the Se530 and IE8 on that list too.   What are y'all's opinion on them? Which one is better? I listen to primarily rock music, a lot of instrumental and vocal pop and bass heavy rap and hip hop.   I also have to...

Saw at Best Buy near me the Turbines for 129.99, good deal? I have a pair of Turbine Pro Gold's, but I already am putting a lot of where on them and I don't want them to break as their has been cosmetic damage to them already (the rubber under the right bud broke off).   Is it a good...

So I had been bidding on a Monster Turbine Pro Copper on ebay and lost, but was just issued a second chance offer on it. They are supposed to be sealed and the price is 112.50 and 16 dollars shipping, which I believe to be well below the market price of the MTPC. THese are supposed to be sealed...

Sorry about that. I listen to a lot of music, mostly rock and rap. I would like to have balanced headphones too. I like bass, but not when it washes out everything else. I like being able to pick out the different instruments and would not want to sacrifice that.

So I'm looking to grab a good pair of in-ears while I'm saving up for a pair of Customs for JHAudio. What would you guys recommend in the sub 200 range?

So I'm really considering the jump from Westone 3 to at least using the UM56 with them, if not jumping ship to the ES3X or the UE 7 or UE10. However, seeing as how head-fi has such a diverse community of audiophiles, I'd like to ask: In your opinion, what company produces the best Custom...

I've been in the market for new 'phones since my second-hand Westone 3's started bugging out (the right bud cuts in and out). I've been contemplating whether or not I should purchase another pair of Westone 3's, albeit brand new one's. I listen to a lot of rock music and to an extent...

My second-hand Westone 3's are messing up and I'm looking to get new IEM's. Obviously I am considering new Westone 3's but the Sennheiser IE8's are intriguing. Also eBay has a lot of new Triple-Fi 10's for sub 200, but I am at a crossroads. I listen to a lot of rock and hip-hop and I like a...

My Triple-Fi 10 pros are damaged and I'm looking to get them fixed. UE Customer support is terrible, seeing as I can't even get into contact with them, does anyone know a third party that repairs IEM's? I'm also looking to have them turned into Customs too, so I would like to kill two birds...

I'm on my second cable (including the one that came with it) for my triple-fi's since June. I really don't like how stiff they are. However, I do love that I can take my cable out and just order the replacement.

I deleted some songs in WAV format from iTunes and when I added them again, they had no information at all. Is there something wrong with what I am doing? I ripped all of the songs using iTunes and now.........blah......damn iTunes.....

I already have a pair of TF10's, which have been the best headphones I've owned, bar none. However, I am interested in the Westone 3's and the Sennheiser IE8's. I personally listen to most kinds of music. The TF10's have been great because they are very versatile, but the fit is bothersome...

So has everyone who has sent there 'phones in had positive results? I'm extremely hesitant to send my only pair of high-end headphones to a different country. (Also, anyone think that the Westone 3's are worth their price? Amazon has a few for under 400..... or how about the IE8's?) EDIT...

Could someone PM me the email of their contact person @ UM? Looking to get my Triple-Fi 10's remolded to get a better fit. How much does it cost also?

I'm looking for opinions about IEM's. I've been using the Triple-Fi 10's for a few months now and they are simply great. The fit is still a little of a bother, but they still work amazingly. However, the fit remains a problem. I was looking at the Shure 530's and the Klipsch Image S4. I...

Looking to pick up used CD's on the cheap, to expand the library and have legit CD's to rip from. Anyone know a good place to buy in California? Preferably So Cal but Nor Cal is good to, cuz I'm headin there soon.

So I'm looking to have higher quality audio files, so I've tried using WAV because the iPod touch uses it and I believe Zune's uses it too (prepping for a Zune HD). Is WAV the right file type to go with? I know they are particularly large, but I'm planning to turn one of the devices into a...

I really don't understand the "seal" thing. It's a lot harder to hear from the outside noises, but other than that.....I guess I am not getting the "seal". I'm hesitant to sell them because I'm sick right now and I also want to try them when I'm not ill and find a good pair of tips to listen...
