This is my first attempt at an earphone review, so please forgive any crude mistakes.     Introduction The aim of this review is to share my experience with my latest mid-range IEM, the ACS T15.  I've prevously owned UE superfi 5 pro, Phonak Audeo 112 and, most recently, Audio Technica...

My beautiful CK10's gave up the ghost today on my way home from work.  Sound has died in the right earpiece, a problem with the jack which I suspect is not economically repairable.   Very sad: these were by far the best earphones I've ever owned, in every regard.   They broke at a bad time...

Does the FiiO E10 volume knob only change the volume of the headphone output on the front? That's all mine controls. Not sure if I have a faulty unit or not, as it seems a strange design choice...

I've had my CK10s for just over a week now.  And at the moment, I'm very very happy!   Initially I was struggling with fit.  I've always had problems with my left ear, so was not surprised to find that I could not achieve a seal for more than a few seconds, no matter what I did.   The...

At my desk I can.  In the lab is different.  We're not supposed to, due to OTT health and safety, but if I know no one's about I'll slip them in anyway!

This happened to me a few days ago.  Fortunately, I work in a lab with plenty of very fine tweezers, so my colleague was able to recover the rogue tip.   But I can imagine if this happened on a train or plane it would be seriously unpleasant and possibly dangerous.   Anyone have an...

Quote: Really?!  Ah, well let's just wait and see.  If not, I can just get the EQ-5 as well and then sell whichever I least prefer.   I'm guessing (hoping) there are people in the UK who would love to buy an EQ-5 for £100 or a CK10 for £140.   Like I said, I really enjoy the sound...

Thanks for the responses.  I decided on the CK10s.  I figured that even if I don't like the sound signature (the bass quantity does concern me), I can always sell them relatively easily.  They aren't easy to come by at all in the UK!   The Sonys looked great, but were considerably more...

Quote:   I have friends in Japan, so can easily get Japanese IEMs cheapily (CK10 for $260).  I live in the UK though, and the DBA-02 is extremely hard to come by.   I've never heard of the Final Audio, so I'll check that out.

Dear all,   My long-suffering phonaks gave up the ghost today.  Ok, I sat on them.  Either way though, they need replacing.   I enjoyed my phonaks with the black filter most:  I felt the grey didn't give me enough bass, and the bass with the blacks had much better extension and detail. ...

Pasted with old profile.  Ignore.

Decided to buy the Phonaks.  Thanks guys!  If they don't sound as I want them to, I'll move onto the Westones...

Hi, I'm starting a PhD soon and have been advised by others to get a pair of headphones, as I'll be working in an open office which can get very distracting. I'd like a little advice on which pair to choose. Here are the key criteria: 1. Comfortable. I'll be wearing them for most of the...
