    Negative Aspects of Top CIEMs

    I have a set of Aurisonics AS-2 CIEMs, with the bass porting and with the "awareness" port.    While I think they're wonderful for country, bluegrass, jazz, and some forms of rock, and even favorites for jazz and bluegrass, as the number of instruments and thickness of orchestration grows...

    Need advice: silicone custom IEM?

    I've got two custom in-ear monitors right now, having used generics for 25 years of almost constant airplane time.  Generics never quite fit me right, and once I saw my ear molds I understood why... yeesh, my ear canals are rectangular!  Or almost... flat and very elongated, and square-ish...

    Fender IEM (Aurisonics) Impressions, Reviews & Discussions Thread

    ... as opposed to the company headquartered in NY called Aurisonic, incorporated in 1982?   Of course they closed up shop a few years ago.  But in terms of names, I'd suggest being less critical of a small company in the central USA missing the existence of a Russian rock band... or of a...

    Reply to review by 'ednaz' on item 'Aurisonics AS-2'

    Well you got me going. Talked with them today. Getting my ear impressions tomorrow, ordering afterwards (need to ponder whether I want the ambience, and one of the bling options.) I have used Etymotics for a very, very long time, with custom molds for the last couple of years, and they're nice...

    WORST headphone you ever heard?

    The only thing my wife listens to from her iPod is books on tape, and she's in love with these $4.95 Jujifruit-looking earbuds and in-ear pieces. I guess they must be OK for spoken word, in the two or three octaves that the entire range of human speech fits into, but I tried listening to music...

    Vmoda M80 vs Beats Solo HD

    You have to ask yourself, is it bass if you can't tell what note is being played?  There's a lot of 'phones out there where that's true, and that was my impression of the Beats Solo HD.    I recently decided to treat myself to a nicer set of travel headphones (I use custom in-ears most of...

    Bowers & Wilkins in-ear headphones = C5

    In my first three days with the C5s, I've found them to be really engaging to listen to, and they've brought to mind something that's always been a driver for me in sound systems of any sort, from those in my ear canals to those that I have in my home and studio.  A lot of speakers and...

    Bowers & Wilkins C5

    I've had mine since Saturday, and if they're going to get better after burn in, I might grin myself to death.  Been listening to some 256k and 320k AAC and MP3 on both iPod and Zune since Saturday, and I find them really engaging and musical.  I listen to a pretty wide range of music, everything...

    Recommend me some IEM's for an airplane - specific needs

    I have the ER6i (quite an old set), the HF5 (again, had them for quite awhile), and ER4P and 4S (which is out of your stated budget, and which I've had seemingly forever.)  I have them specifically for air travel, as noise cancelling headphones can give me a ripping headache.   I think...

    Need a recommendation-IEM with a signature close to Ultrasone HFI 780

    Check out the B&W C5.  I'm a devotee of the Ultrasone 780; my current "I do want to hear the oncoming car" headphones are the Ultrasone 15G, which I find to be just as musical and listenable for long time periods, although I wish they folded...   I've had Etymotics for years, going back to...

    Do you buy IEMs like candy ?

    Not so much... although I probably have six or seven IEMs.  They're just so small, and I travel a lot, so different suits, different coats, suitcases.  I'll lose a set or two, then suddenly find them again, but meantime lose another set.  No permanent losses, other than the ones that someone...

    Folding, open, travel phones, Ultrasone 15-G sound?

    I'm looking for a set of open travel headphones to replace the old Koss Porta-Pro and Sennheiser PX100s that have done long duty as my travel partners.  Both are starting to make that crackle from time to time that says the cable is failing.   Have long enjoyed Etymotic in-ear headphones -...
