I've been out of the loop for a while now and since then more and more IEMs have come to the market. So much so that I don't know where to begin. I had the Shure SE846 but lost them one night. The bass was amazing. Very visceral. However, I feel like they didn't have any timbre. Notes didn't...

I've often said that there's a bit of air missing in these bad-boys. I think I found a fix for that which I'm pleased with. I took the filter part out of the 'filter', as well as the foam if you choose to experiment with a filter that does have foam. The result: less harsh than with no filter at...

inb4 Savant has a single 'balanced' driver. At that price it's very tempting to make my first Noble IEM; but that K10u...

I haven't read all 457 pages and don't know if this has been mentioned but here are some findings I've made [please correct me if I'm wrong]: Each filter, at it's base, has a porous layer which controls the bass. The black filter having the smallest pores and the white having larger, more...

Gaming and Music. I'll probably end up selling it for something else but was wondering if it's possible to force something on the card.

Hey guys. I've had the ZXR for a long time but have recently made the switch to linux. Creative doesn't support Linux, however, the operating system recognizes the device but doesn't play anything through it (speakers or headset). When I restart my computer into windows my sound works but my...

I haven't because I don't know where I could get extra filters. If in the end I decide not to keep them, I'd hate for that to cause me some inconvenience. Though, it would be an audio-crime not to try. I need more info on how and why the empty black tube differs from the empty white. [I have...

Is there any mod or any way of increasing separation on the SE846 without losing much, if any, bass? I feel as though a few notes get lost when listening to the SE846 with the blue filters but I do not enjoy the white filters as much as the blues. Vocals are smooth as butter, very soothing, but...

I think that's the problem with Universals in general- everyone will hear them differently due to the unique shape of our own ears. The air between every instrument / layer gives it quite a spacious feel whereas you say it's closed in. The sockets on my universal are recessed about 1mm to a...

Is it possible to reverse the polarity of the cable?

I've got weird ears. I know my left is different from my right. Mostly shallow inserts work for me to bring out the treble/soundstage/bass otherwise everything is a muffled mess. Even worse, the Westone star tips have to have some suction action going on as in I have to stick them in and then...

I have a universal pair. I'm going to talk to the company I purchased them from and see what we can work out. Thanks for your help all!

I don't know if they are faulty but I can't believe that a TOTL would sound the way it does. I'll try to get a replacement and see if there's improvement.

Just doesn't make sense for a company to put out a product, which is all about first impressions, and have the end-user put in work to make it sound like it's supposed to. It's really shocking to me because JH is known to excel at Rock but after listening to a few songs they sound so...

I'm afraid of doing that. I'm not a believer in "burn-in" but I do believe our brains need time to adjust. Initial impressions are important to me because to me that's their true sound if purely psychological. If, for some reason, these headphones need a to be burnt in physically due to some...

Thank you for your responses! You're giving me some hope. When you say burn in, do you mean set them down and let some music play through them or have them in my ear during the initial burn in? Because the former would be technical and the latter psychological. Interested in your methods :)

So while my other pair of headphones are in repair, I thought it would be a good time to try something new. I bought a pair of Universal Roxanne's and am not very thrilled. My initial impressions are as such:   Great separation and soundstage, though not an out of head experience. Here is...

I believe the stock cable is a Westone Epic Cable. I have the BTG Starlight cable and hear no difference between the two. It's not a 1000 dollar cable and I've never had the luxury to test the difference with anything close, so on that front I can offer no help. Practically, it depends on what...

Is there a new Tralucent IEM announced secretly? Some insider info that we, the public, don't know? The F/S forums have been blowing up with 1p2 sales where-as before it was rarely seen there.

For those wondering, like I have, the comply 400 series fit very well with the UM Mentor. The 500 series falls off the IEM practically on its own. It seems like UM now includes a pair of comply tips. For us early adopters that didn't get them or those who want replacements- it's the 400 series...

I had the Westone 4s before I bought the Mentors. The only thing the Westones do well are smooth vocals. In every other aspect, the Mentors are completely different but in a good way. Wider, clearer, bassier, trebblier, etc.. They are powered by my Iphone 5s too. They are definitely the funner...

It's a bit early for April Fools, guys.

The thing is, Moon-Audio said the same thing to me back in late December.
