Hi,   I've ordered a set of JH16s, and was wondering how to improve my portable setup (which is really only an iPhone 4!).   I can't afford the HiFiMan (and don't really consider it portable) so was considering the Cowon J3 over my iPhone (with lossless music)   1) Will the Cowon...

Hi, I've been using either my TF10 pros or E500s with my iPhone. Recently the left channel went on the Shures, so I sent them back and Shure replaced them (Thanks Kelli!). Anyway, the replacement set died today - this time the right ear-. now, I wondering whether there is some problem...

My 500s died a few weeks ago. After much frantic searching i found a mail that specified when they were bought - Luckily I had 1 week (believe it or not) on my warranty. Shure UK replaced them today even though they were bought in the US. On top of that, I only sent in the headphones...

Hi, I read a post on here recently that made me wonder whether the best sound quality from an iPhone (and other portables) is achieved using low volume, or high volume (and an attenuator to make it listenable through IEMs). The person is question thought that best SQ was always attained at...

Hi, I'm considering getting a pair of UE11s. I noticed that HandheldAudio in London do them for £881(£750+vat). Apparently the price includes an impression and covers any number of FedEx sends(inc taxes), any other impressions if the first fails. I could go via UE directly, and it would...

Hi, I have the new 3g iPhone and am looking for an smallish amp to go with it. Any suggestions, please? I currently have the Hornet which is fine with my 5.5th gen iPod , but can't really see myself bolting it on to a iPhone!! it'd be far too bulky. I'll also need to figure out a decent...

Hi, I've never owned a pair of customs before, and was considering the UE11s... I own a TF10pros and Shure E500s. I think overall I prefer the warm sound of the Shures. There seems to be more detail in the TFs, but it is like watching a black and white tv at times, if you know what I mean...

The reason I ask is that the clear cable on my 5s broke yesterday (bought 2 years ago) -the left channel only plays intermittently-, so I ordered a new one and it arrived today. Anyway, the new cable is thicker and seems to use silver whereas my old cable was very thin and was copper...

Hi, just bought an iPhone (3G)so i don't have to carry multiple devices around. The irony is, I was still willing to use my Alo (Cryo?) and Hornet-M with the iPhone. However, the ALO doesn't seem to send anything to the Hornet now. Anyone know what changes were made to the phone to stop...

I bought my TF10s when they first came out (in the limited edition, collectors tin run). I vaguelly recall reading somewhere that UE tweaked them after that, but I can't 100% confirm this. I may be wrong.... Anyone know if this is the case, and if so what changes were made, and is there any...

Hi, I've had a couple of sets of foamies for a while, and put one set on my E500s and modded another onto my UE SF5s (alas now lost during a drunken night out) Anyway, it occured to me today that the nozzle of the 500s is buried slightly inside the olive foamies. This, combined with the...

Hi, I was fortunate enough to be given a pair of the meduim black 'olives' to try. As I didn't have my E4Cs available and had yet to buy my E500s so I modded them to fit my SFPs. I've just received 5 pairs that I purchased over the Internet and whilst they look quite similar I'm not sure...

I am fortunate enough to have bought a Hornet M last week. I have to say it is better looking and far smaller in real life than it looks in the pics. It is really quite dinky. It only has about 30 hours on it so far and whilst I find it very nice I was kind of shocked that an EBay CMOY...

Hi, I've heard the Hornet is slightly more aggressive in the treble than the Hornet M. However, I've looked on Ray's site and see no mention of a Hornet M. (Is it a an abbreviation for emmeline or for modded?!?) I'm not sure which version he is selling, and how to tell the difference...

Both my Super.fi and Triple.fis came with a sound attenuators for use on planes. I've seen folk on here talk about attachments to change impedence.... Is that what these things do? If so, is there any benefit sonically to using these type of adapters? I know they can sometimes reduce hiss, but...

Hi, My UE triple fis just broke when I was swapping the cable. The right phone and cable seperated OK when I used the "wiggle" technique. However, when I tried the left side the entire bottom of the speaker (where the cable attaches) popped off and the wires inside snapped I wasn't using...
