    UE Pro IEM faceplate color swatches?

    I'm keenly interested in the UE Pro IEMs. However, I haven't been able to see the different colors for the faceplates that I can choose from. On the website they do show the palette of colors/materials to choose from but I'm sure their real life appearance is a bit different from what I see on...

    DACPort: is it strong enough to drive the T1?

    Hi, I just wanted to know if the DACPort is good enough to drive the Beyerdynamics T1 headphone? Someone claims it is good enough but I wanted to verify those claims. If anyone can help me with an answer I would really appreciate it. Thanks Ben

    Beyerdynamic T1 vs Ultrasone Pro900?

    I already own the Pro900. Fantastic phones, best soundstage I've heard in a closed phone and also pretty decent bass. I was just wondering what the differences are between the Pro900 and the Beyerdynamic T1 phones. I heard the T1 has much more bass than the DT880, but was wondering what...

    Ultrasone Proline: 2500 and 750...which is truly the better of the two?

    I'm still unsure as to which phone is truly better. All I really know is that the 750 provides some isolation whereas the 2500 does not. As to the overall sound quality - neutrality, frequency response, bass extension, soundstage, imaging, and transient response and of course any colouration of...

    Audio Technica CM7ti -vs- Sensaphonics 2X-S...and the winner is...?

    ...Well, I just did 150 hours of burn-in with a brand new pair of CM7ti. For burn-in I just used my Xin SuperMini-3 headphone amp (with crossfeed on, bass boost off, impedance switch on), and let them run with my iPod 5G with a Sik Ram din, on a repeating playlist with only 320kbits on that...

    Apologies RE Beyerdynamic Headzone pricing

    Wow, I admit I may have been mistaken about the price tag on the Headzone from Beyerdynamic. I only saw the price on an online website and the price was indeed incorrect since the pricing had not been set and from the "price on request" statement when the product on that website was thoroughly...

    I've been looking for a few weeks for a decent quality frequency response graph for this headphone but so far no luck. I'm not sure if there is one already out there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ben

    Best amp for the Ultrasone 750/2500?

    Hi, I'm interested in these phones as I wish to create mixes that will translate reasonable well to a range of playback systems. I'd prefer to use headphones since my room isn't the best for speaker set up anyway. So I thought I might look into these. What sort of amplifier goes well...

    Sensa 2XS + headphone out 5g iPod

    The sound quality was good, but now I'm waiting for the SuperMini-3, I've got a Sik Ram Rin waiting to use the line-out so that I can get better sound. The detail was phenomenal, but the sound lacked something in the low end, and I think that was the headphone out on the iPod. The 5g does sound...

    Just sent my impressions to Sensaphonics today!!!

    Well, I just got my impressions made. The audiologist said I'd never have fit issues because my canals are just superb - they're very straight and snug and she could see my eardrum without having to pry further into my ears. So I'm really excited. When she injected the gooey stuff into my ears I...

    UE-10 or 2X-S...I've finally been stung by the big bright red wasp!

    So...I'm now deciding which one to get, I think I'm leaning towards the UE-10PRO because it's sound signature, going by what I've garnered from reading countless reviews, is absolutely neutral, not warm, not cold, just neutral, "room temperature" for want of a better description, with exception...

    Hi, I was wondering if there were any audiologists in Sydney (or NSW Central Coast) in Australia where I can get impressions for the Sensaphonic 2-X custom phones? Any advice would be appreciated. Ben

    Bitten by the UE bug!!! YEOW!!!

    I'm springing for the UE5c...in the not too distant future. They're supposedly nice warm sounding custom earphones. I will be a happy camper. I'm selling my Westone UM2 and my iAudio M3. A visit to my audiologist and finally sending the impressions to Ultimate Ears. Can anyone give me an...

    Decided on Portaphile V2

    Well, I finally decided on the Portaphile V2. Now I'm just saving up for it, and should hopefully be able to get it (along with a lot of other stuff) at Christmas time. Thanks for the input on the Portaphile V2. I believe it's flawless for canalphones. Someone mentioned that there was no...

    Are MINT amps noisy with canalphones?

    Just wondering if MINT amps are noisy with canalphones. By noise I mean that they produce a consistent hiss. Is a MINT amp any good for the UM2 or Super.Fi Pro canalphones??? Or would it make them unlistenable? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Ben

    Is there really a bass roll-off on iPod with UM2s?

    Just wanted to know if there really was a bass roll-off with the iPod using the Westone UM2 or UE SuperFi.Pro canalphones? My sister has an iPod and wants to use these phones, she will get either UM2 or Super.Fi but as yet undecided. She is using a 20gb iPod Color. Just wanted to clear...

    UM2 canals + iPod 20gb with color screen...is there bass roll-off or hiss/distortion?

    Just wanted to know. My friend has a new iPod 20gb with color screen (the latest model as of now) and wants to know if the sound quality will be decent using the UM2s that he wants to buy soon. He is away at a youth group at the moment so I can't test it for him, but he wants to know how it...

    iPod uploading MP3s possible without iTunes???

    I wanted to know if it was actually possible to get the MP3 files from my HDD onto an iPod (4th generation, iPod color 20gb). My friend has a 20gb iPod. Couple months ago he ripped about 20 CDs to mp3 320kbps stereo format and the files are on my system, but we couldn't get them onto the...

    UM2s arrived...new model...awesome!

    I just got my UM2s. Totally unbelievable. These sound better than the previous ones I tried which had the yellow tips. The comply tips sound awesome, both the long and short ones, I found I got a better seal with the long ones. Here's my final review of the UM2. Bass: I listened to an...

    "Greening" - does it eventually degrade audio?

    What I'm talking about is the "greening" of the cables where they tend to sit around your ear. I've been told this happens on Shure E5c and Westone UM2 as well as some of the custom phones. Does this "greening" eventually degrade the audio quality? I'm hoping not, since these phones are quite...

    Took a leap of faith...ordered the UM2s

    Well, I decided to take that ultimate leap of faith, and I ordered the Westone UM2 canalphones. I found the UM2s I tried were absolutely mind numbing. The entire frequency range was all there, the midrange was flawless, and the bass was of extremely high quality due to the dual driver design...
