TTT so is the quality of any of the other earphones similar to the MEP-933? Not necessarily the sound signature just the overall sound quality.

MonoPrice has five different kinds of earphones EXCLUDING the MEP-933 which we all know has great bang/buck. What about these other earphones, two of them are Apple knockoffs and the other three are ???   So what's the general consensus on these?

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but my question relates perfectly to this topic.   My question is: do the replacement drivers that you buy from Sennheiser all use the same mounting mechanism and pattern for the HD580, 600, and 650? In other words: can I buy an HD 650 driver and replace...

Hey there Joker, I have a question about the RE0. I asked you several weeks ago about what eartips I should use with the RE0, and you told me to wait until I received some dual and triple-flange tips that were coming in the mail. I received them, but unfortunately, the size I ordered is too...

I got the Radians DIY custom earplugs in the mail today from Amazon. I mixed together equal parts of the two materials but it plain doesn't harden. I mixed it about 4 hours ago, and it still doesn't stay in a ball, it turns into a puddle. Mind you the instructions say it will take 10 min. maybe...

In other words should I make the sound hole like the first one or the second one?   1.) http://guide-images.makeprojects.org/igi/qtdqSQtdwGSCjGuQ.medium   2.) http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/cut-18.jpg   Thank you. :)

http://www.howtogeek.com/57481/how-to-make-custom-silicone-ear-molds-for-your-in-ear-monitors/   This guy used silicone ear plugs and made a mold of his ear, then he stuck his IEMs in it and cut a hole. I'm going to do the same thing, so I have some Monoprice MEP-933 on the way. But I have a...

That's not always convenient. Case in point: AudioTechnica ATH-AD500, the earpads are molded to be worn in one direction only.

Remember that age-old adage "you get what you pay for"? Well, the headphone out on the Listen L75E is reversed! The right channel sounds from the left, and the left channel comes from the right. I wonder if they have any adapters that swap the L/R channels. Or I could buy an RCA -> 3.5mm...

I did some Googling, and couldn't find a concrete answer to my above questions. I'm sure others have wondered the same thing about their RE0.   While the RE0 has always used the same driver and housing, my understanding is that the cable/connector have had four different revisions. In the...

+1 for MEP-933. Add some Sony Hybrids and you're good to go. In your price range, nothing even comes close. But you have to be comfortable wearing them over-the-ear, because they have a significant amount of microphonics.   Source of recommendation...

Wow, thanks for the response joker! I'll wait and see like you suggested.   Also, I forgot to tell you this, but thanks for all that you've done (and are doing). Before I found this massive review database I was always thinking to myself, "but how will I ever know how good *insert earphones*...

I got the JLAB J2 in March of 2010 and it still works, so that's 23 months and counting. That thing can take some abuse man. The earbuds got caught between my bed and the nightstand, and I didn't know, so I pulled it, hard. The wires are not firmly attached inside of the earbuds anymore, but it...

Sorry, let me clarify this post, I want ear tips that will bring the RE0 toward a neutral sound signature.   I have the HiFiMan RE0 coming in the mail, and I'm wondering what eartips to get. I don't have the PL30 so I can use the foam tips, and I don't want to go to the trouble of de-coring...

If you want good and cheap in the same set of IEMs, the Monoprice MEP-933 is a fantastic deal. Read IjokerI's comparison of 225 IEMs and you will see that it gets a 7.5 for sound quality. The A151 by MEElectronics "only" gets a 7.4 and that thing is selling for about $50. Granted, the A151 has a...

Etymotic HF5 for $94 shipped from J&R. When IjokerI reviewed it he gave it 9/10 for value if you got it for $120.   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XP8DJC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3LJ5WMKNRFKQS

Thanks, I didn't know neutral and mid-centric were two different things LOL. Back to Googling.

Good deal? SoungMagic PL50 for $45 shipped. http://www.amazon.com/Soundmagic-PL50-In-ear-Headphones/dp/B002K7FZBA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330255535&sr=8-2   I want to get a good quality IEM and I'd like to experience something with a neutral sound signature. I wonder how this thing would do...

I am 100% sure that the 'headphone' setting is louder than the '2.0/2.1 speaker' setting. The speaker setting also sounds more distant, and the mids are not as prominent (I've only been testing for about 10 min. so I'm not 100% sure on the sound signature). Could this be related to the fact that...

As the question in the title says, I want to know, in the Creative Control Panel, there is a setting that lets you choose what sound device you have. There are several options, including some surround ones, but more importantly, there are two options called '2.0/2.1 Speaker' and 'Headphone'. As...

Bump, I emailed the seller of the L7579E and asked him what OpAmp it uses, and he told me that the QSurround QS7779 chip works as the OpAmp. I'm having a hard time swallowing this since that chip is supposed to do 3D effects processing (QSurround is another version of CMSS 3D or Dolby...

Bump I saw this amp today on eBay and I'm wondering the same thing. They also have another version called the Listen L75E and the only apparent difference is that it doesn't have the SRS chip, and more important, it has a swappable DIP socket for the opamp.   I'd love to know how both of...

I did this mod by following the guide by ramachandra, so I used Silmic II 1500/16 for the main power filtering cap, but I also ordered the Nichicon KG 2200/63 that was recommended in this guide. How in the world do you fit that thing onto a sound card?!?!? It looks like it would be impossible...

I found a company that gives out free of oscillators to businesses. They have the right oscillators for a mod like this. Here's what I got in case anyone else would like it too:   http://www.ecliptek.com/stocksearch/Stock.aspx?Partnumber=ES51C1E10N-24.576M&qt=&org=pm&st=SearchOS   For...

I just added LME49860 OpAmp,1500 uF Silmic II, 47 uF Silmic and 10 uF Cerafine and this is insane. The sound is sooooo much more detailed and lively that I don't know how to explain it but in one word: love. It's like listening to my music collection for the first time all over again.   As...
