    Klipsch x11i Impressions

    Have these coming in today for father's day. $348 list for $68 hard to beat. Now I'm experiencing buyer's remorse. Something's got to be wrong with these IEMs, right? I'm buying from amazon.com so I expect they are genuine. I have searched this forum, not many reviews. So who has these IEMs...

    Which IEM? $49 to $200

    Easy at $49 because wife won't complain, harder at $200 wife will complain. ; ) Middle of the road $99 might be the best. Used for air travel, home and everywhere in-between. Enjoy jazz, rock, blues, American Indie, and some electric. Which do you prefer? Others? Thanks!!!!!!!! Etymotic HF5...

    FiiO X5 first generation

    I just accidentally purchased the X5 first generation for $249 at amazon.com. The 2nd generation is $349. Should I return the 1st gen and lay out an additional $100 for a 2nd generation?   My current DAP is a Cowon D2 and my Samsung Note 4 phone. My cans are Monster Miles Davis Tribute and...

    Senn PX-200 Help

    Hi, just received my PX-200s from amazon.com. Really disappointed. I find these cans one dimensional, muddy, with no sound stage. Really boring! No sparkle, no bass, nothing!   I'm comparing to my PX-100 which just bit the dust, MDR-V6, Klipsch S4, and Monster Miles Davis Tribute, and others...

    How to stop breaking IEMs

    I've broken some very nice headphones by pulling off a Comply Foam tip in order to freshen the tip with a new pair of Comply Foam tips. My latest destroyer set is Etymotic HF5. Before that I destroyed a pair of RP-HJE900s and the Kilpsch S4. How can I more safely removed a used up pair of Comply...

    Need help with IEM $100-$200 range

    Look at the deals thread and see if the Monster Miles Davis Tributes are still on sale (2/3rd off). WOW... I just love my new copy and the base is amazing. I had the scale back my J3 BSE settings from "Rock" to "Normal". Better than my Etymotic HF5, my Klipsch s4i and my Panosonic HDX900 (which...

    Kuddos to Etymotic

    And Kuddos to Monster!   First Etymotic. If they hadn't taken care of me I was going to post here and complain, now that they did, and went the extra mile as well, I thought I should share.   My HF5 cord to one of the earphones split near the earphone. I thought I was being too rough on...

    in praise of etymotic HF5

    I sure love my HF5s. Bought them from J&R, the red variety, for $89. HOLY COW.... love at first listen.. and this, coming from Klipsch 4s and Pannasonic HJE-900s. I now have my Pannys, 4s, and a pair of Sennheiser sports canenphones gathering dust because of broken solder connections either at...

    Best IEMs for around 60$

    Heck, I have the S4 and I like 'em. Almost as good as my Pannie HJE900s. I've had mine for almost a year. If they bite the dust, I'll buy another pair.   Opinions are like ears I guess... we all have a couple....   Good luck on your search,   Gawain

    The Perfect Portable [a multiple choice poll]

    Comfy is important, but if portables are not foldable, for me, they are not very portable. (Meaning they are a pain to pack and carry while traveling in a commercial carrier)     Gawain

    Replacement tips for Panasonic RP-HJE900?

    I use Comply T-400.. but be careful. When removing the comply to replace it, (they fit snuggly) I pulled the earpiece apart destroying my HJE900s. Luckily Panasonic replaced them with reconditioned ones right before they ran out. I wish they would begin manufacturing these again.   Gawain

    RP-HJE900 any Better Sound for $200 or Less?

    It is my opinion that Panasonic had to stop making RP-HJE900s because the magic was running low!   These earphones just blow me away.  I suppose you could find better sounding earphones if you spent the big bucks.... BUT... does anyone think they have heard music to rival the HJEs for $200...

    HJE900 discontinued?

      Be forewarned. I use Comply Foam tips on my CZs. I was changing an old tip and I pulled the unit apart in my hands. Wires were exposed and the unit was in two pieces. It took me a couple months, many phone calls and aggravation to get Panasonic to replace my CZ. I would expect chances now...

    Panasonic HJE900 and 192kbps music.

    I haven't found anything that doesn't sound better on my HJE900s. I listen to a lot of variable bit rate audio from my rhapsody to go subscription and it all sounds awesome. Some of those bitrates are down to 142.  These are the most amazing set of phones I've ever experienced,. Oh, my source is...

    I read the entire thread Only got half way through tho before I ordered my HJE900s from J&R. I began my headphone life many years ago with the Sony MDR-D66. Since then I've purchased the newer Sony MDR-V6, the Sennheiser PX-100 and the Sennheiser CX-380. My current PMP is a Cowon D2...
