I'm currently seriously considering the Audeo Phonak PFE, I like the fact that so many people are recommending it. I like the fact that you have the filters, and they give replacements. The price seems good. |joker|'s thread had a very good review, and now that the build quality issue is fixed...

  Quote: I read the massive comparison thread, and it said there were "Reported build issues with original version" do you know if this has been fixed?

Quote: How easy is changing the filter? I want to make sure that it's something simple enough that I can feel comfortable doing by myself, you know?

What exactly do you mean by V-type/natural/analytical, sorry, I don't know much of the terms used to describe iems.   Quote:

Anybody have ideas?

Hey everyone, I'm still relatively new to the whole IEM scene.   I currently have a:  ZuneHD 32gb, Sansa Clip 2gb, and a Sansa Fuze 4gb with 8gb card Headphones: Audio Technica ATH-M50's Used to own Nuforce NE-7M's but due to issues with the microphone, sent them back and had a lot of...

AKG K330's Klipsch S2's klipsch S4's Hippo VB's Overall thoughts or comparisons?

Looking at two new headphones I haven't heard much about. AKG K330's Klipsch S2's Thoughts?

Yes I realize there are many different threads like this, but I have somewhat different 'requirements'. First off, source: Zune hd 32 No amp, (this also means I don't want headphones that require an amp, I'm not looking to buy one) I live in the US. My music tastes: Linkin park...

Is there any point it getting a player that supports flac then? I mean I was planning on listening to the music through my cans...

To start, I have a Zune HD 32, Audio Technica ATH-M50's (that have been burned in), and no amp (don't plan on buying one anytime soon) First question, which may be a dumb one, but I'm clueless with this topic. Are FLAC files actually that much better than MP3? Next question, I've heard...

Thanks everyone for your inputs. I decided to go with the Audio Technica ATH-M50's for $134.95. No amp. Side note- Got the 32g Zune hd, and I love it, but can't wait to hear it with the new headphones.

Also, real quick, is there a difference, other than color, between the Denon AHD1001S and the Denon AHD1001K

There have been a lot of votes for the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 also, it might be good to add that no, I decided not to buy an amp, so my headphone choice should be good for portable, no-amp whatsoever, listening. I looked at the Sony MDR-XB700, and they said the cord design was "silly"...

Apparently, Sarjo Group, the group i was looking at that had the price of $150 on amazon, well, they aren't authorized to sell anything from either Shure audio OR Monster Audio, and neither group is quite sure how Sarjo got their equipment. However, the reply email also stated that the best...

The site selling the Bithead amp for $99 requires you buy a set of headphones from them so you get the 60 dollars off, otherwise it would be about $160 for the amp alone. The SRH 840 is sold there for about $200. At other places it is sold for about $150. Now, the AH-D1001S is sold for...

From what I've heard, marshmallows aren't really that good, sound quality or durability.

Family member is looking for the best in ears that are **$30 or less. Yes the person realizes the sound quality isn't going to be the same as the more expensive types. Places to look? Earphone suggestions? Both are welcome **EDIT: $30 or less Looking for durability as well.
