    Echobox Finder X1 -- One of the pleasant surprises of CanJam

    There's been a bit of discussion of the new Echobox DAP around these parts, but their titanium-cased IEMs were really excellent, as well. Taking a page out of the Audeo playbook (well, among others), they come with different filters to change the sig depending on your tastes, and while I enjoyed...

    Ever buy a pair on a lark and find you really dig em? (V-Moda Remix)

    I left my current phones at home while on an overnight work trip and desperately needed a set of phones to keep my sanity with in the interim. So I went to the local Best Buy, figuring I'd pick something midrange up and take it back if I wasn't happy. The only pair they had that looked even...

    (Possible) Bargain: Scosche IDR655m IEMs (for iPhone types) -- 46$ Amazon

    I know, Scosche doesn't exactly have a great rep around here, but Amazon has a very liberal return policy, and when phones are over half off, it's worth giving a listen.  Besides, my S4i phones have totally fallen apart on me, so I need something to use while Klipsch is busy repairing them.  For...

    Lousy build quality on S4i?

    I've had this set for just over 4 months, and the strain relief on the plug is splitting to the point that I can see copper. In addition, one of the earphone strain reliefs is splitting in the same fashion. Now, I haven't exactly babied this phones, and the straight plug does lend itself to...

    My W3 phones are dead, long live the ....? (recommendations needed)

    Alas and alack, my car door done munched up my beloved Westone 3s (with clipped triflange tips). Therefore, I'm in the market for some new IEMs. I've been out of circulation for a while, so I'm not quite up on the latest developments in the market. From what I can tell from my first hour or so...

    Back after a very long hiatus... with a late Klipsch C3 review (long)

    Klipsch Custom-3 Review: All of this is out of my 6G 160 GB iPod classic, unamped. Most of my audio test tracks are 256 AAC, high quality. I did add a couple that are not, just to see how forgiving a set of phones are. I'm using the Comply foamies, mostly because I've found they have the...

    The long awaited.... (and long winded) Trager review of the q-Jays (vs. Atrio, ER-4P, Shure SE310 etc.)

    q-Jays Review: All of this is out of my 6G 160 GB iPod classic, unamped. Most of my audio test tracks are 256 AAC, high quality. I did add a couple that are not, just to see how forgiving a set of phones are. I'm using the Etymotic tri-flange tips for ease of insertion and removal, since I'm...

    *sigh* EarPeace LiveWires review (short, called on account of rain)

    And when I say that, I mean, the sound of rain. I tried to do my usual review process so that I could compare the LiveWires to my new Atrio M5 phones, or the Shure SE310 that I've used for the past several months or Ety ER-4P that I've loved for that past year. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get...

    Atrio M5 review (some comparison with Ety ER-4P, Shure SE310)

    All of this is out of my 5.5 iPod, unamped. Most of my audio test tracks are 256 AAC, high quality. I did add a couple that are not, just to see how forgiving a set of phones are. I'm using the Atrio stock bi-flange tips for ease of insertion and removal, since I'm doing this at work...

    Shure SE310 vs. Ety ER-4P (first impressions)

    I should start this off by mentioning that I've been looking for an upgrade from my Etys for a little while. Am still very much awaiting the Westone 3 release, ever since my Triple.fi 10 Pros turned out to be a little too mid-recessed for me. Since I'm deep in the throes of upgrade-itis, I...

    Open can recs for an Etyphile?

    I love the sound of my ER-4P, both with the S cable (using my Go-Vibe 6) and straight out of my iPod. The clarity and detail is amazing to me. So I'm thinking about picking up a set of full size cans for use at home, and was wondering what people would recommend? I tried some Sennheiser HD280...

    Tips for triple.fi 10 pro phones?

    I have rather small ear canals, and the tips that come with the triple.fi 10s relaly don't fit very well... The best I've been able to do is reverse the headphones and use the foamies, but the UE foamies are pretty uncomfortable. Has anyone had any luck with finding other tips that fit and don't...

    Hasn't anyone gone from Ety to triple-driver??

    Seems awfully hard to find anyone who loved the Etymotic sound who went from the ER-4P (or ER-4S) up to Shure E500 or UE Triple.fi phones. What's up with that? Are the triple drivers really that opposite to the Ety sound signature?

    Good music, HORRIBLY recorded

    I know there have to be others out there who have this problem... On recommendation of some friends, I started listening to Go! Team, and I really dig their music. The problem is that the CDs are SO badly mastered that I can barely stand to listen to them. For a group that does hip-hop flavored...
