I received my Sensaphonics 2x-s eaphones yesterday!! Yahoooooo..... I used to have the etymotic ER-4P earphones until I lost them on the way back from Sturgis The 2x-s are so much better. They are fuller, more musical and has more bass. And most importantly, they are 1000 times more...

Is this to be expected or are these HF-1 headphones damaged? Please see pictures. Thanks Allan

I will be getting my Sensaphonics 2x-s earphones next week to use with my 5th generation iPod. I was thinking about buying a portable amp to use while I am outside the home and also buying Grado headphones (HF-1 or RS-1) to use with the same amp when at home. Does this make sense? 1. Will a...

Do people use the portable amps to listen to music from their computer or mainly from a portable device like a iPOD? If it is for a portable device, then do they carry the amp all around with them? Also, I see GRADO having the RA1 amp. This seems big to be carrying around so how do most...

Do many people use a DAC and do you really notice a difference? Thanks Allan

I listen to mostly soft pop and classical music and I am looking for a good headphone under $700. I read posts where the Grado headphones takes you into the music and makes the music exciting and lively. This seems very intriguing and makes me want to try the Grado RS-1 but I wanted to get...

I was just wondering if the difference between the UE-10 and the 2x-s might really be due to the material used. I was wondering if the UE-10 sounds more clean and higher treble sound because of the harder material used so that it sounds like music in a room with a hard floor and walls. And the...

I decided to buy the Sensaphonics 2x-s earphones and I will be going tomorrow for my impressions. Is there anything I should do ahead of time like cleaning the wax out of my ears? I heard this has been a problem for some people and I wasn't sure if everyone needs to do this or any other type of...

It appears that the Sensaphonics 2x-s provides better isolation (better fit because of the soft silicone) over the UE-10 and I am trying to determine if the isolation is good enough to use while riding a motorcycle. The ER-4P does provide great isolation but I wanted to get something better if I...

I am considering buying the UE-10 earphones and would like to know how good is the isolation with them. I use to have the Etymotic ER-4p earphones and when I used them, I could not hear anything. Someone could be talking to me and I would not be able to hear anything they said. Will I get as...

It appears that if I buy the UE-10 from Headroom that I would not have to pay sales tax since I live in CA and Ultimate Ear is located in CA. Is there any advantage to order directly from Ultimate Ear or from Headroom? Would the ordering process and time still be the same if I ordered...

I am thinking of buying custom earphones and I read in the threads of people having to do refits two or three times. I would have thought that if you went to a good audiologist that you would leave with good impressions and you would be guaranteed a good fit. So, do most people have to go...

First of all, I deeply apologize if this question has already been answered. I have been looking for a good set of earphones and I am leaning towards the custom ones, specifically the Sensaphonics ProPhonic 2X or the UE-5c. Is there any way to get a discount for either of these? The threads...
