That's helpful, because I think my laptop and my Nexus 7 have about 100 ohms of output impedance, I was thinking an E6 with it's <1 ohms of output impedance would solve my problem, seeing as OP recommend using low output impedance players with the ATH IM02.

  Ahh... Well I'm actually on budget mode now.. But would a cheap amp like FiiO E6 do the job?  

Hey guys, I recently bought a ATH-IM02, and I'm really impressed by it's sound quality, however I realized that the IEM pretty much only sounds good on mobile phones.. I have tried it on my laptop, Nexus 7 2012, PC, and a audio interface rated 32 ohms and it sounded very weak on them. I...

Hmm, will the monster supertip fit the SE215?

Hi guys, I'm looking for comfortable tips with good isolation for the SE215, it MUST be silicon, since I have been using Olive and they just get dirty too easily. I was looking at the Klipsch oval tips, but have no idea whether or not it will fit. Also, does anyone have any idea on...

I have something to say about it's build quality though , it's just me though. The 3.5mm plug kinda screwed up on mine , and as a result the left side doesn't play anything Great sound though. Well , have been waiting for more than 2 weeks for a replacement unit..

Hmm it's starting to become clear to be , why IEMs are so expensive. I guess this applies to many of those luxurious brands out there in the market. But I still don't understand why hardware synths or guitar amplifiers must be that expensive!! Surely those stuffs are more sought after by the...

Thanks for the replies guys , really helped cleared things up for me. But thinking about it , if the production cost of a higher end earphone is like 1/10 of the selling price.. Woah think about the profits they are making!!

Firstly , I'm not here to say things like "They sound the same" , or "Just use the iBuds" or "my Skullcandies are better". I know the difference between a triple driver and the iBuds , I understand why people would go to such lengths to enjoy their music , but one thing I don't understand is ...

Quote:   I just heard the TripleFI , UM3X , CK100 , Westone 3 and IE8. IMO the TripleFi and the Westone 3 had a sound signature that was very similar to the M50 , but the TripleFi seemed to sound better than the Westone 3 , in fact it sounded better than the M50. Well , that's just my...

Over-the-ears with my Super.fi 5.. It's impossible to get a good fit wearing them straight down.

All right I got this recently and honestly I'm really pleased with it ;D. Gonna do a review soon , when I have time.

The M50 is pretty bassy.. After buying the Super fi.5 and actually listened to them.. I realized just how bassy the M50 really were.

Since the one I have is the one on top , it must be V2.0 eh..

Just one question though , I recently bought a Super.Fi 5 , and well I don't really know if its the V2.0 or not .. How do I tell?

Well I have been to Jaben once just to get complys , and I was kinda surprised by how small the shop was.. (the Singapore one). I have imagined it to be bigger , since my friend said it was 'classroom sized'.   Anyway , if anyone doesn't like Jaben they can always check out Stereo...

Ouch..

It looks alot like the M50 , but I didn't know there was a white version of it o0

Is the the ATH-M50? http://www.sodesk.com/albums/wallpapers/beautiful/fashion/audio-technica/normal_audio-technica-boa_b_1024_768.jpg

I haven't heard the 25's before but I do own the M50s , am well I'm pretty pleased with it :D It has a pretty balanced sound , but sometimes I feel that the bass tends to be stronger , and the mid is abit recessed. Otherwise they sound pretty good , controlled bass , detailed mids and...

If you want something cheap , try the Jays a-Jays three. Tons of bass , but really sharp highs.

 That sucks.. And the worst part is , after 5 pages I'm still being undecisive.

@Skozsert  Would that affect the sound quality? Because I really want the original sound quality , unaltered.

I just realized that a small crack had formed on my pleather pad.. Dammit.. This is gonna hurt alot. Probably was because of sweat or the fact that I always left it in a air-conditioned room.. Argh.

Oh I see.. Well that kinda sucks. I suppose Jaben doesn't have EarSonics as well eh.
