Do we have any sort of source that can say whether these on Amazon are fake? I know the colored fakes from overseas are rampant on eBay.

Took a flier on these about a week ago. I think they are great for the money, and are probably worth more than that $20 on Amazon.   Bass is emphasized of course but its not muddy and doesn't seem to bleed or overwhelm anything else. Nice impact, clean sounding overall. Some might call it...

I have UE 700s and there is some hiss with those. But it's tolerable for me. I have PortaPros and Bose AE2s that don't really his with the E10.

If you want an open design but are in a quiet spot (like an office or library) they are great because they do leak sound, but the drivers are small enough that unless you just blast it, it's hard to hear outside a few feet away.    I had a pair of Grado SR60's for work (quiet office), and...

Agreed, I've got full sized and IEM's that retail for quadruple the PortaPro's and I rarely even bother with them anymore. So much fun.

Quote:   I had a pair from the first stock, which I had to get replaced via warranty (which they were super cool about, btw) and they sent me a pair from the second batch. It comes with two sets of Complys.   Seconded about the mids and highs. Smooth and detailed. Highs are very...

Welcome! You guys make a great product, and am interested stay informed on the latest with you guys. Cheers!

Just got mine in the mail. Out of the box impressions (using with my laptop+Fiio E10):   -Packaging and build quality is really nice. I can see why these are in the $100 price range.    -Bass is the real deal. I had to turn off the Bass Boost on the E10 (which I was using with great...

I scooped a pair of these up as well. Looking forward to trying them out. From everything I've read they are seeming like a steal at $30.

Anyone care to comment on how big (if any) of an improvement this would be over the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro? Been using that for a year, and it is an improvement over my work laptop's onboard sound. The E7 is only $58 from Amazon right now, so was thinking about it as a step up from...

This has always been an interesting topic for me. I do think, in some capacity headphones do change sound a bit over time. I have a pair of UE700s that used to literally distort on low bass notes. After many hundreds of hours, they no longer do. They hit the notes cleanly.   I do think some...

Quote:   Absolutely false! The Search function will reveal a multitude of threads titled something to the effect of "best headphones under $100", and those threads probably encompass all types, whether it be closed design, open design, bass-heavy, neutral-sounding, and every sound...

Hopefully this post will be useful for those searching Head-Fi for information about the XB500s...   I also was not a fan of them. The bass was there, and it was quite impressive. They were also very comfortable. But to me, the bass drowned out and muddied up the mids and highs. Even EQing...

Just wanted to post some more love for the 440. Just picked these up yesterday, and all I can say is wow! The best cans I've owned before these were the SR60i's, but I ditched those since they were open, and didn't fit my application well (quiet office). These rival those in sound, IMO, with...

Hi folks,   For months I have been using my Ultimate Ears UE700s, with much pleasure. I love the sound of these earbuds, extremely clear, detailed, and the bass has come in nicely after many hours of use.   Recently I have gotten the itch to purchase a new pair of full-sized cans. From...

Ok so I've had my Shure E2C's for a few months now, and after awhile the left earpiece started cutting out. I noticed that it would vary in intensity from cutting out the sound completely or working as normal by just twisting the cord. The right earpiece has now started to do the same thing. By...
