Quote:   That's what she said!    Couldn't resist after Astro's Dolly Parton joke.   But anyways, I am still doing a little more research but may end up picking up the Etys. The UE700 do look like pretty good headphones though, as do the Apple In Ears which I was originally...

I have heard neither of them, and I have no shops nearby where I can take them for a test run before buying either. They both look like great sets of headphones, and it is rather difficult deciding :) I have read more about the HF5, and actually just heard of the UE700 when you recommended them...

I want to say thanks for everyone's posts! Looking at the title, I guess I used the wrong sign - should be less than $150 (<)...has been awhile since I have had to use those symbols. Anyways, it seems like it is coming down to the UE700 vs the HF5. I am looking for a pretty transparent sound...

I am in the market of purchasing a new IEM, but am having a hard time on deciding. I have been reading reviews for a little over a week now, and still can't decide. I currently have the Klipsch S4i and the AKG K350. In a recent post, I had stated I liked the S4i a little better, but after more...

Forgot to add that I was also considering the Monster Turbines, but think I have narrowed them out - any thoughts on those?   Thanks again

I am planning on picking up a new set of IEMs, and after many hours research I have narrowed it down between the four choices in the title. Basically I am looking for any input between the four, pros and cons, and what would be a good choice to get. My musical taste doesn't discriminate, I...
