    UE600 upgrade from Super.Fi 3?

    Logitech offered me the UE600 as a warranty replacement for the Super.fi 3, so I can either wait until they are back in stock or take the "upgrade".   What do you all think?

    Can anyone give me (and noobs) some cliffs?

    It's been awhile since I stayed up on IEM's, 2008 to be exact. ER6i and super.fi 3 were the defacto standard sub $100 offerings, and other smaller brands were just making an appearance. Still have my SCL4's, which I'm quite happy with. Got in the logitech super.fi 3 deal, and just kramer modded...

    SCL4 Nozzle Replacement

    How long have the nozzles on your Shure IEM's lasted you? Can't recall the last time I used my SCL4's but they certainly worked fine then and when I went to use them today the sound out of one side was lower so I swapped nozzles and they the problem was now in the other side. Clearly the nozzle...

    a nice addition to my scl4's?

    I hate to buy some more phones so soon after getting my scl4's but I can't help being curious about something with a more "fun" sound. With the current sale on Altec's rebranded super.fi 3 (uhp 336) I was thinking about picking those up, I have $30 off from buy.com so they would only cost me...

    Finally got the SCL4's

    I guess they arrived at my house from music123 a few days after I left for school. Finally got around to picking them up. All I can say is "WOW". The the mids are super clean/clear and slightly forward. The highs are amazing as well, and the bass is punchy and tight. Listened to porcupine...

    Monitor phones

    Looking for some phones to use for mixing. I'm using pro tools on my MacBook pro. The obvious standard for these seems to be the Sony mdr-v6. Can I get something better for around $100?

    $25 or less.

    I read some reviews on this topic but they were pretty inconclusive. Looking to get the best IEM's under $25 as a gift. Here's what I've narrowed it down to: Senn CX300 Senn CX400 JBUDS J2 JVC HA-FX66B \ JVC HA-FX34 - All under $20 JVC HA-FX33 / Sony MDR-EX75 (hopefully not too...

    Finally came across some money to spend on headphones. I just ordered some shure e4c IEM's and I'm looking for a full size can for computer use. Main source - laptop, sometimes ipod No amp as of now Duty - will serve split duty for gaming and listening to music (mainly rock, but some...

    finally made the jump to a good IEM

    I joined head-fi 9 months ago and have been so close to purchasing a new set of IEM's about a dozen or so times. First the im716's on that killer $20 closeout from newegg (then missed the deal), then the er6i's on sale for ~$50 on amazon. I almost purchased the Shure SCL4's from musicians...

    jbuds j2 vs. ex71

    ex71 are my current buds, been in use since 2004. will the jbuds j2 be an improvement? what about the denon ah-551k? Im looking to spend no more than $50, I don't like the "over the ear" style IEM's. Music: Mainly rock, needs to sound good with live jam band albums as well (phish). Tight...

    durability of er6i? upgrade from ex71?

    With the er6i's being so cheap now, Im finally considering upgrading from my trusty ex-71's. I've had these for almost 5 years, I like them a lot but I think it's time to step up to something better. I've read too many threads about how the er6i's failed w/in about a year, is the cable...

    how to take apart ex71s for re-cable?

    Anyone know how to take apart the mdr-ex71s? I have two broken sets that I would like to recable. I've given up on taking them apart because I've almost destroyed one driver.

    new to head-fi: need advice on in-ear headphones

    Hello all, first time posting and just looking for some advice. I mainly listen to a 5.5g Ipod with all of my music ripped at 320kb/s. I've been a long time user of the sony mdr-ex71 headphones and like them but looking to upgrade a bit. The models that seem promising for me are the...
