    How can I get my hands on a shure SE535LTD

    I want the limited version of the se535 that comes with an extended treble. However, only the asian versions actually have a difference in sound, the american versions are just a different color. How can I buy one of these?

    Which IEM should I get?

    Hi guys, sorry for creating another thread, I changed my mind a bit about my preferences. This is what I'm looking for in the IEM:   -I listen mainly to vocals (mostly male), rock, heavy metal, and some soundtrack.   -I want the IEM to be mid-centric. I want the mids to be lush, thick...

    Best mid-centric IEM for me?

    I'm looking for a new IEM, my budget is 400 dollars, but I might stretch it if necessary. I want the IEM to be very lush and intimate, and I want it to sound "think". One of the main things I want to avoid is a lean or thin sounding IEM, I want it to sound very thick and lush. I want a lot of...

    Will the audio technica CK100 perform well for rock and metal? I listen to vocals which will be good for the CK100, but I also listen to a lot of metal. Also, is the CK100 easier to find in Japan?

    IEM with an LCD-2 like sound?

    I'm looking for an IEM that focuses on bass and mids. I want the bass to be soild and punchy, and I want the mids to be full and present. I would prefer if it were a straight down IEM, but if there are none, then over-ear would be fine. If possible, could you suggest one straight down IEM and...

    IEMs with a lot of snare drum impact?

    Someone recommended the Aurisonics ASG-1 rev. 2, but I'm looking for more suggestions. I tried my brothers PFE232 and it didn't have enough snare drum impact for me, so I would like one with more. ER-4P maybe?

    Is the Monster Miles David Trumpet good for heavy metal?

    I heard the Miles Davis Trumpet is a very polarizing IEM. People say it sounds fantastic with jazz and soundtrack, but that it sounds like an ibud with other genres. Does it sound good with heavy metal? I'm guessing it will because its sligh;y v-shaped.

    Best IEM for heavy metal, alternative, and punk rock?

    My budget is 400, but I can push it a bit. I'm looking for a warm and "creamy" sound signature. I want mids to be very present, no recession whatsoever. As for the treble, I want a lot of impact in snare drums, but thats pretty much the only thing I want in the treble. Although I said I'm...

    Signature Pro vs T5p for heavy metal?

    I'm looking for a high-end portable at the moment and these two are the best I could find. I was previously considering the Mad Dog, but I'm afraid it's treble will be too lacking for me.

    SRH-940 vs T70p

    How much difference between these two? They seem VERY similar, so aside from the beyers being more comfortable and having better isolation, is there a big difference in sound between them, or is the T70p not worth the extra money?

    Ultrasone Signature Pro vs Beyer T70p vs Beyer T5p for rock and metal?

    I'm currently deciding between these three headphones for mainly rock and metal. A lot of people have said the T5p and the T70p sound awful for rock and metal due to the lack of bass, but I plan on EQing the bass with either an iphone or a fiio E17 amp. It seems like both beyers have an...

    Grado SR225i vs HE-400

    I'm currently looking for my first open headphone. I listen primarily to rock and metal, which in this case many people recommend grado. However, from what I've read, grado seems to be a wall of sound with no depth and such. I am just afraid it won't be refined enough for me. Many people...

    I was set on getting the mad dog, but it's isolation will not be enough for me. I'm looking for a headphone which huge amounts of bass, so the pro 900 caught my eye. However, many say it's mids are recessed, and that's something I would like to avoid, I want the mids to be at least balanced but...

    I want to clarify some things:   I don't want a grado simply because it lacks some of the things I'm looking for. I want a headphone which is good for rock and metal, but has a big soundstage and a decent amount of bass, a grado lacks these things. I won't be using it just for rock/metal, I...

    I'm on the search for my next headphone, and the D5000 has caught my eye because it's highly praised by it's hard thumping bass. However, it's said to have recessed mids, which is something I really hate. It just keeps me from being being pulled in the song, it makes the sing feel distant. In my...
