Not sure which one to get. I have had two pairs of the re-400s and they're great but the build quality sucks. The heaven ii's look like a good choice but how bad is the cable noise? I like to wear IEMs down (not cable around ear) and I am worried that it would be too bad. I had a pair of HF5's...

I've done some searching through this thread and couldn't find my answer so sorry if this is a repeat of information but does anyone know when the release day of the wired iOS compatible headphones will be?

No, I have not but thank you as I think I know what I will choose now.

I owned the momentum for a little bit and liked them a lot. I own the re-400 which I love for the price but have never heard the re-600. Which should I buy? 

That would be awesome if you could post some pics. 

They are over ear; not on-ear.

I have been scouring this site for hours looking for a way to replace my momentum's ear pads with slightly larger ones but to no avail. I am wondering if anyone has heard of something that might work, just any leads really. Unfortunately it looks like my only option is going to be DIY make your...

Are the pads that can be put onto the K545 the same as the ones on the brainwavz hm5?    On the hm5 thread users reported that some shure velour pads fitted the hm5. I wonder if those would also work for the 545 too. Mr. Speakers should come out with his alpha pads for a lot of other headphone...

Just saw this movie called The Internship and of course being a member of headfi I ended up paying more attention to the headphones than the storyline. But I couldn't figure out what these were so Here's a video where the actor is wearing them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thltImlAYww

As a newcomer to the audiophile world here I still don't have an amp. So would you still say the akg k545 sounds better un-amped compared to the momentum? The momentum is only 18ohms which I know is low, but is 32ohms still low enough to be un-amped?  I also wasn't very impressed with the...

Darn, they have the k545 at a best buy near me, but they don't have them on display to try on :( So now I have to decide on either momentum or k545 without having tried the k545. I know it depends on my personal sound preferences, but, would you go with the k545 or the sennheiser momentum's...

About to get some new IEMs around $100 to replace my sennheiser momentums as my portable headphones. I tried the etymotic hf5 but the deep insertion was very uncomfortable for me, do you think the re-400 will be more comfortable? 

Maybe sennheiser momentums. Stylish, very light, only 18ohms so your iPod/phone will power it fine. I wouldn't say the isolation is great though, it's enough and with 75 percent should block out your surroundings but there is better out there is terms of isolation. Comfort may also be an issue...

I had the etymotic hf5 and found them to be very uncomfortable. I have a bit of swimmers ear so I need something that won't go far into the ear canal (like hf5). But I do want them to have decent to good isolation. Need to be under $100 and I would prefer them not to be an over the ear cable...

Can anyone comment on how the k545 might compare to the sennheiser momentums? Specifically with regard to it's portability and comfort.  I am having some comfort issues with my momentums because part of the cartilage in my left ear is touching the speaker inside the ear cups. I thought the k545...

I recently became an owner of some sennheiser momentums, my first pair of what I would say are audiophile type cans. At first I was a little underwhelmed, but this was just due to having really high expectations going into it. As I listened longer I really started to enjoy the headphones and...

I listen mostly to alternative rock. This includes the typical guitar/drums (i.e. radiohead, beck) but also the more electronic/pop/computer made section of the genre (i.e. miike snow, passion pit). I will also find myself listening to classical from time to time.    I'm searching for a good...

They are about the same price on amazon right now, given the choice which would you buy? Can anyone comment on the pros of each headphone, like which might be more comfortable, which has better build quality etc?

Wow, thank you so much. Helped a lot, I will play with the equalization a bit and if I find them to be not loud enough I will get the amp.

After reading a little more into amps and such, it sounds like a waste to get one, so never mind. Could I just alter the EQ a bit to better suit my needs? Also, how do you change your EQ? I noticed there are iphone apps for that but do people generally change the EQ of their headphones a...

So I got the etymotics as my first good headphone. I would like to explore the audiophile world a little more and purchase a DAC/AMP. What I would like to do is improve soundstage and maybe add some more to the bass.  There are some things I am confused on though, one is that I will mostly be...

How would you say IEMs compare to full size cans in this sort of budget price range? Just seems like with the IEMs you can get a highly regarded pair with a $100, whereas with some cans it just feels like there is always a trade-off. The $300ish range seems a lot better for full size...

Anyone know if the Grado's isolate at all? Like to what extent do they isolate?

I like the classic stylish look of the B&W p5 but obviously out of my price range. I also like the retro look of the momentums but those are out of my price range. I really like the look of the grado SR 60i's but because they are open back they leak and don't isolate enough for all around use. ...

I just ordered the HF5 headphones which I feel will suit me well but, I need to pick up some headphones for about a $100 or under for my brother. The HF5 is a candidate but he is coming from apple buds and I feel he wouldn't like the cold ety sound. Also not sure if he will like the deep...
