Hi All,   I have to send my Westone ES5's in for service and noticed that they've updated their ES line to include an extra 0 after the model numbers and also that they're using the Shure style MMCX connectors now.  While talking to the guy at Westone, I asked if they could swap out the 2...

Hi,   Back in the day, my RSA The Predator DAC used to work with my iPhone and iPad1 when plugged in via the camera connection kit (USB).  After a certain software update (4.3.x I think), that functionality stopped.  The only thing I saw around the same time was that Apple had tweaked the...

Well, I think it's time for a new pair of custom IEM's early next year.  I've got a pair of JH13's now.  Not saying that there is anything wrong with the current JH16 and I'd probably be very happy with them.  However, my original pair of JH13's were in production when they released the JH16 for...

It seems as though there is an ongoing problem with the Whiplash Audio TWag cables.  I've had two fail in under a year, now have a third.  With how unbelievably long it takes to get a replacement from Whiplash when they fail, I've been thinking of ways to improve the cable and potentially use...

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone else has been having this problem with any of their JH custom IEM's.  Early December, the tip of my right JH13 developed a crack.  The next day, 3/4 of the end tip where the two tubes/holes are deposited itself on my desk.  Shipped them down to JHA, they...

Hi, These actually aren't for me, but a girl at work was just complaining about ear buds/phones because they pop out/don't fit her ears. I'm recommending custom IEM's, being the only way my ears stay happy. She probably doesn't want to spend upwards of $500+ to get into the custom IEM market...

Too. Many. Gadgets. <- That's what I carry around every day and I'd like to reduce that a bit. I'm looking for a solution to stream my iTunes library (mostly Apple Lossless) over wifi or 3G to an iPhone or iPod touch at work and at home. In the background, the way the iPod app will...

Hi, I guess it might be time to look at upgrades again I've got a pair of UE5P custom IEM's right now that I've been having continual cable problems with. I'm currently waiting for UE to ship/deliver my 4th cable in under 2 years (boo). Based on this and other customer service problems I've had...

I haven't posted in a while, decided to "go big and go home" last January and get a pair of Ultimate Ear UE5 Pro's so I'd stop buying "cheaper" in ears. They sound and fit GREAT. I wear them up to 8 hours a day at work with no comfort issues. However, customer service is the polar opposite of...

Well, it's been a while since I've been on here so I'm out of the loop (more expensive things have been plaguing my wallet). A few months ago, a friend of mine dropped my er4p's and one of the filter tubes broke. I was pissed but oh well. Ety said ~$85 to replace one of the drivers (!) and...

I was just over at my Uncle's for Christmas today and noticed that he has an old pair of K141 monitor cans sitting there, but the foam pads are shot. Does anyone know where I can get him a new set of pads, if any other pads will work, or if it's worth trying to find a pair (or get him a new...

I guess today's Garfield comic:Clickie if pickie no workie

Ok, I've already ghetto re-cabled my old Grado SR-125's, now I'm debating cutting the centers of the ear side of the cups out. I was going to do it so the center hole and the middle ring of holes would be cut out. Looks like that would open the driver right up. Any thoughts or objections...

Well, my Supermacro3 got here at noon today. ...it's smaller than I was expecting I knew it was small, I just wasn't expecting it to be quite THIS small. Build quality seems very nice as well. So far, it's great. I've been testing some of the different opamps, so far I've tested the stock...

Ok, I've read some of the varying extensive reviews of the different cables available for the Sennheiser HD600. I think I've narrowed it down to these 3: - Equinox - Blue Dragon - Cardas I mostly listen to Electronica (techno/trance/etc.) and Rock as well as watch movies with them. My...

ok, perhaps I'm dyslexic, but when I insert my etys, Right is Red, Left is Blue. That's directly from the instructions from Etymotic. notice anything? now check: Yes, the etys are right if you're looking at yourself in the mirror...

well, FedEx dropped off my refurbished pair of 600s ($182+ $11.99 Fedex priority overnight) 20 minutes ago. I'm very impressed with the box they came in, even for refurbished, opened it up, whipped them out and plugged into my ipod. Yes, they sound very nice, clear, VERY comfortable, etc...

I've got a pair of Grado SR-125s (I'd say about 4-5 years old now) that I've just re-wired. They are BEAT though. I still love the sound, but they are sorta my "drunk phones" now. I've got Ety er4-P for portable listening. I should have a SuperMacro V3 )or whatever Dr. Xin decides to ship...

After all of the great things everyone here has said about Stax cans, I decided to look into them. After some searching, I found a store that had some in stock! I picked up a pair and hurried home. I let them warm up for a while and left them to break in.... Anyway, Something's not sounding...

I'm going to be doing a little... project... soon and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a weather-proof/water-proof/storm-proof 1/8" stereo mini jack. I feel bad about drilling my Zero Halliburton laptop case, so I'm going to get a little Pelican case for my ipod and amp. I...

For those of you who have in ear phones.... oto-ease is a glycerin based lube for hearing aids, ear molds, and our beloved etys. It's made by Westone Labs and I hadn't been able to find it anywhere local. Anyway, I found a place that has it for $2.99 a bottle with free shipping for orders over...

OK, as most people with Grados have probably experienced, the standard Grado cables develop ...problems... after a while. (Perhaps just those of us who beat the hell out of our Grados). Anyway, I decided to re-wire them and switch to 1/8" (so I can use them without an adapter on my...

I'm about to order a bunch of stuff... My list of cables to make for now is as follows: -mini to mini ,short - ipod to headphone amp (probably right angle, not sure yet though) -mini to mini- a few feet long- for a general cable to replace the one I use to connect my ipod either to my...

Ok, I would like some advice figuring out what the best solution for my needs are. The current equipment:PC with built on sound: C-Media High Definition Audio 8-channel CODEC / Coaxial, Optical S/PDIF out on back I/O port as well as normal 1/8" plugs (motherboard is Asus P5GD2 Deluxe) Apple...

I ordered a pair of ER4-Ps just before christmas, I love them. However, the right channel cuts out occasionally. does it with either the silicon or foam tips. I thought it was an issue with me pushing them in (I grab them from the black part and push them in). Anyway, it's getting a little...
