What Dynamic IEMs Should I Consider Other Than the IE80 at Its New ~$300 Price Point?
Hello all, Title says it all. I was about to pull the trigger on the IE80 but figured I would do my due diligence and make sure I wasn't overlooking anything. I would go $350 maximum if the alternative is significantly better. Additionally, I am not interested in armature IEMs (I have a...- MaxMusic

Will a Fiio 307k Andes adequately drive the ER4-S?
Last night I ordered the ER4-P off amazon after much deliberation over detail-oriented IEMs. I fully intend to buy a P/S converter plug/cable which as most of you know (correct me if i'm wrong) changes the ER4-P to a virtually identical ER4-S. I have read many reiews that give high praise to the...- MaxMusic

In the Market For Highly Detail-Oriented IEMS, $350 Budget, Toss Me Your Recommendations
Title pretty much says it all. So far I am interested in the ER-4p (willing to buy an adapter for S but want portability as an option), Brainwavz B2, DBA-02 MKII, Westone 4, and Viewsonic GR07. I'm leaning towards the ER-4 but my only reservation is the lack of bass impact- I don't want anything...- MaxMusic

Considering Pulling the Trigger on Some V-Moda M-100s. Any Reason Why I Shouldn't?
My parents want to get me a nice gift for college graduation (Woot!) and I've had my eye on these for a while :). They seem to be the perfect combination of sound, durability, portability and style (for my needs). I am currently coming from ATH-M50s as my over ear cans. While I'm aware the...- MaxMusic

Upgrading from ATHM50s and HF3s, looking for a less neutral sound:V-Moda M100 or Sen IE8/8i/80?
Hey guys I need help deciding on an upgrade from my M50s and Etymotic HF3s. Both are very neutral and I am looking for something more bass heavy. I do not plan on ever investing in an amp because my music listening is almost always from a laptop or my iphone and is generally on the go...- MaxMusic

Title says it all, been thinking about the TF10, but I am wary of its fit and size. Any other recommendations? I have zero intention of using an amp, as it defeats the purpose of portability to me. Also side question: can GR07s be worn down? That's also a big thing to me. Thanks...- MaxMusic

Iphone 4 alone enough for RE-262?
Has anyone tried the RE-262 with just an iphone 4? I'm looking to replace my RE-ZEROs with the 262s, but my research has given me mixed results as to if the iphone 4 can adequately power them (most reviews feature an ipod classic which i believe has a smaller battery).
