I never used IEMs much, so I have a few questions. How deep should I insert them, without having to worry about damaging my ear? Is it possible to have the need to use different sized ear-tips for right and left ear? I have a feeling that my right ear has a smaller duct, and that would...

After reading your review I'm still deciding between VSonic VC02, VSonic GR06 and Astrotec AM90. Due to the price of these IEMs and my growing curiosity towards this hobby, I'm thinking about buying two of them to have a chance to try different sound signatures. I'd like one of the IEM to be a...

Quote: I'll look into it then :)

Quote: I don't think I understand the difference between natural and balanced. The Klipsch are unfortunately over my budget, since you can't find them in Europe at the same price as amazon.com

If you don't want them all black, you can get the HD25-1 II Adidas version.

Quote: They are a little over the budget though :S What about the VSonic GR06, would they fit my needs?

Hello! I'm looking for an IEM in the 70-100$ range. I'd like something balanced, without too much emphasis on bass, mids or highs. I'll use it mostly to listen to rock music but, being new to the hobby and since I'm trying to "tune" my ears, I'd rather have something a little less "fun...

How's the isolation compared to the hd25-1 II?

Quote: All of the above stands true even if both cans are unamped?

How do the 500 compare to the hd25-1 II?

Quote: You could keep the soundcard for your gaming needs, but attach an amp when you want to listen to music. The signal won't be amped two times: the soundcard will be bypassed and used only as a dac when the external amp is plugged.

Then do as viralcow said and add an external amp.  

Quote: This is really interesting indeed. Since you speak English so fluently, do you happen to know other languages as well and appreciate their rap too?

Quote: Ahaha I'd love to do that,  money is a bit of a problem though :P Anyway, no point in keeping on discussing this topic I guess. You are definitely right when you say I'd have to listen to more hip-hop, but I still don't understand how English would affect the charisma of a rapper...

Quote: I'm gonna try this one.   Quote: It's just a player, right?

Quote: Thank you, I'll wait for other advices as well though since I'd rather go with freeware. Actually, if there is a good shareware program that does what I asked, I'd be ok with buying it. Must be worth it though :)

I'm interested too. With foobar, mediamonkey or winamp can you also cut a single ape file (that comes with a cue) and convert it to flac before tagging it?

Quote: Well, Japan is a perfect example of what I mean, they are more western than western themselves. Anyway, I didn't mean to sound offensive, so I apologize if I hurt anyone's feelings. Still, I don't see how charisma has anything to do with what we are saying.

Quote: Because they are just trying to appeal to a big public, and while I can understand  that it may sound as an entertaining listening experience to someone, it doesn't really hold any more merits than being entertaining, since all it aims at is pleasing the largest amount of people...

Quote: I don't know much of Asian music in general and rap in particular, but I think it's way too poppish too and they also try too hard to mimic the westerns. All that English in a Korean song, why?

I'm gonna go with Patti Smith :)

Quote: Ok, thank you again :)

Quote: And in that price category what headphone should I look at? I didn't really get the stereo-thing, I'm sorry.   Edit: Nevermind, I get it now. The fact is that I've read that the nuforce goes really well with the HD650, and I'm a little afraid of finding myself with a really...
