    Fidue A73 Failure - Extremely Disappointed - Help

    So all I'm getting from a weekend of silence is: "Fidue's customer support really is nonexistent, and their products really don't last. Don't bother with their products". Hoping we can officially seal the deal and give them officially a bad name; moral of the story: Don't buy Fidue. Anything.

    Fidue A73 Failure - Extremely Disappointed - Help

    Hi Head-fi, When my Monster Turbine Pro Coppers were killed by a friend, I turned to these forums to find my next pair: enter the Fidue A73. While they were great sounding while they lasted (and horrible to use because the cable ties itself in knots regardless of how you store them), my mic...

    Balanced IEM with mic/remote with iPhone 5S

    Bump bump! As my Monster Turbine Pro Coppers were killed by a friend a year ago and my Bose sport ie2s or whatever they're called have gotten pretty worn, I too am searching for something to meet the same need. Extremely disappointing that Shure hasn't updated the SE215's to just ship with a...

    Studio Headphones to Replace Shure SRH840, around $100?

    I'm going to go with either the DT250's or the KRK 8400's, but I'm going to get my Shures replaced and sell them first.   *sigh*...the commerce chaos of shipping, paying, receiving and selling begins.

    Studio Headphones to Replace Shure SRH840, around $100?

    So I would definitely get these, they sound literally like the answer to my headphone prayers, except for one little thing: they lack bass. Since their sole purpose will be the recording and producing of rap music, they're kind of immediately off the table...

    Studio Headphones to Replace Shure SRH840, around $100?

    So I've had my SRH840s for years now, and I had nothing but love for them until I went to put them on two weeks ago and the right can snapped right off the plastic piece that holds it into the headband part. So, to get these replaced by Shure's service dept is $80. Can anyone think of a better...

    Challenge: Talk Me Out of Beats Studio

    Just so you all know, I bought a pair of the Bose because they were on sale. Tried them a few days, they sounded nice but I realized they wouldn't work off battery power, even just as headphones, so I took them back. Now I'm broke and have no money to spend on these things!

    Challenge: Talk Me Out of Beats Studio

      Quote:   At least you're getting my humor! The phones you suggested sound good, but as far as remote and mic I don't think the AT's do, nor do the DJX-1. Aaaaaaand those Sennheisers are pretty huge, and expensive! I checked out the Holiday Gift Guide (really an amazing piece of...

    Challenge: Talk Me Out of Beats Studio

    Quote: I was actually just hoping there was a better alternative for the money that I didn't know about and that somebody would suggest. But after perusal of the '96 portables' as well as others, I think in the price range it really will be tough to find something better. I'm going to buy...

    Challenge: Talk Me Out of Beats Studio

    Thanks for all the replies so far, guys! I will say that unfortunately I'm going to rule out the M-80. While they really do look awesome and seem to have very satisfying sound qualities, I'm going to say based on the first several reviews consistently mentioning poor isolation and cable...

    Challenge: Talk Me Out of Beats Studio

    Yeah, the price is a big factor-it's a pretty amazing discount and it expires at the end of the year so I want to be sure to take advantage. Thanks electronics retail job!   I hadn't heard about a LeBron version though, I'll have to look into those because I work out a lot and having over...

    Challenge: Talk Me Out of Beats Studio

    I'm probably going to buy some Beats Studio. I get them 50% off through a connect I have. The reason I plan to buy them is I think they will be a very good fit for what I plan to use them for. But, since I know my fellow head-fiers have strong opinions against them, I figured I'd outline what I...

    Monster Turbine Pro Copper

    Wow, I GOT A REPLY FROM JUDE! And, thank you Jude so much for your help-I literally NEVER heard of that. I tried pausing and then pressing an arrow, I tried double clicking the arrow, holding the arrow, etc. Finally, I can use them properly-thanks so much! Now we just need to get support for...

    Monster Turbine Pro Copper

    So, I've now had my Coppers for several weeks. I'd recommend any new Copper/Gold owners to dweaver's burn-in thread here because the burn-in process really can give your Turbines entirely different character. Anyway, I do have one issue with my Coppers that I'd like to be PMed about if anyone...

    A tale of 2 IEM's (Montser Turbine Copper 1 vs Monster Turbine Copper 2) How different burnin techniques gave me two unique IEM's

    Hey all-just checking in to update everyone on my burn-in experience. After one night I didn't notice a significant level of difference. However, since then I've given them over 25 hours of burn in on dweaver's brown noise heavy file, and let me tell you-now, they sound positively fantastic...

    A tale of 2 IEM's (Montser Turbine Copper 1 vs Monster Turbine Copper 2) How different burnin techniques gave me two unique IEM's

    This thread is awesome, I was so happy to find it! And I will run another couple nights of burn-in on them. But, how would playing more pink and white noise help reduce the already overly forward mids? The way I had understood it, playing a certain kind of noise tends to bring out that type of...

    A tale of 2 IEM's (Montser Turbine Copper 1 vs Monster Turbine Copper 2) How different burnin techniques gave me two unique IEM's

    So after about 8 hours of burn in, something strange happened...when I listened to them, the bass actually sounds quite a bit more recessed and the midrange seems to be the most forward thing of all. Ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Monster Turbine Pro Copper

    Wow! I really wish I would've known that; another set of tips would've been nice. I ended up just ordering another pair from SoundEarphones and then shipping the broken ones back; hopefully they'll credit my account soon.   Anyway, got my Coppers last night and they're finally amazing! In my...

    A tale of 2 IEM's (Montser Turbine Copper 1 vs Monster Turbine Copper 2) How different burnin techniques gave me two unique IEM's

      Starting the burn-in of my new Coppers tonight. The initial listen proved that they were well worth the money and should be a wonderful new set of 'phones for me to enjoy. The burn-in will be the following, on repeat, for appx 6 hrs:   1 hr dweaver's B-P-B-W-B file 30 sec frequency...

    Monster Turbine Pro Copper

    Wow...so after trying to buy some used via the internet and finally pulling the trigger on a new pair, my Coppers don't sound right. The left one is totally flat sounding, and has almost no bass impact-it's all just hollow. I know this because I tested with putting each phone in each ear and...

    Yeah, I got mine from Sound Earphones and I made clear I wanted the ones with Control Talk. They'll be nice and new with full warranty, and hopefully will give me many years of use and enjoyment!

    CES 2011: Day One

    Wow, what an awesome and exciting post! I think it's particularly awesome that you got a pic with a rap superstar, and those Miles Davis phones are so cool! I was obsessed with playing the trumpet in high school, and those probably would've just plain blown my mind. It's also particularly...
