Looking for headphones for teaching via Zoom so it's important I can hear voice and be heard well. Unfortunately budget is a bit low right now because I'm heading back to teaching after a 4 year break (failed business venture Thanks COVID!), but once I'm back on my feet I'll definitely be...

Hi, I've just ordered a pair of 1More Triple Driver IEMS and one of the biggest complaints I read about them was the fit and many reviews recommended replacing the tips with Comply or similar. However, I'm having problems finding the Comply T-600 tips that Comply recommend themselves. It seems...

Now, that they've burned in a bit, these earphones are just simply incredible. The amount of times I've laughed out loud tonight in sheer enjoyment at songs I thought I knew, but obviously didn't. I don't have much knowledge of earphones (previous IEMs owned Klipsch S4 and Westone UM1s), but if...

Thanks for the advice. I think I might hedge my bets and get some Shure Olives and the Sony Hybrids.

So, I took delivery of my EQ5s a couple of days ago and am very happy about them, but I'm unable to decide which tips give me the best seal. I've tried all, and I think the best sound comes from the larger white silicon tips, but they are a little uncomfortable, the medium are ok, but they have...

I've just taken ownership of my new EQ5s and am absolutely loving them, but...   Has any body else noticed, that if you move your jaw whilst listening, it kind of upsets the seal? Whether, it be laughing out loud at the enjoyment of some part of a song you've never noticed before, or just...

Quote: Yep! After scrolling through about 20 pages of this thread my mind was made up and I couldn't wait any longer, so just ordered from the local online dealer. I was planning to take up a trip to the shop to try them in person, but as I said, I couldn't wait. If I hate them, I'll blame...

Quote: Thanks for the reply, here in Korea the EQ5s are less than a 150 bucks. I guess it's because we are right next to Japan where they are made.

I am seriously considering getting some EQ5's. I live in South Korea and the price here is very good. However, I have a few other iems on my shortlist and I am curious to know what people think about them in comparison.   Ety HF5 Hififman re262 Head Direct re0 Brainwavz B2  ...

I posted a similar questions a few days back, but got no response, maybe because it was Christmas! So, I hope you don't mind if I try again, with a bit of a more concise question.   I am considering the following:   EQ5 RE262 B2   I live in South Korea and the prices here differ...

Hi,   I'm in the market for some IEMs, however I live in South Korea and the differences in choice and price can be huge compared to the U.S or Europe. So, rather tell you what my budget is, it's probably better to tell you what I've found out I can afford after doing a little research.  ...

Hi, I was going to start this as a new thread, but since this thread told me not to, I thought I would try here first!!   I'm in the market for some IEMs, however I live in South Korea and the differences in choice and price can be huge compared to the U.S or Europe. So, rather tell you what...

Sorry meant Klipsch s4

I bought a pair of UM1s several years ago and after about a year of very happy usage one earphone suddenly fizzled out, due to what I presumed was sweat from the gym.   After opting for several cheaper IEMs I've decided to invest in a new pair of decent phones again, but to my surprise the...

After many hours of researching I think I've narrowed my next pair of IEMs down to the Ultimate Ears UE700s or the Jays Q-Jays.   My main type of music I listen to is indie, rock and sometimes classical.    From my research I've concluded the following bad points about each set or...

After about 2 years, I somehow managed to fry my UM1s in the gym and would have replaced them straight away with the same, but I live in South Korea and the due to exchange rate fluctuations the price has almost doubled here. Fortunately it seems that this is not the case for all brands of IEMs...

Thanks for the prompt replies. And I've taken what you have said on board. From reading a couple of other posts on these forums (which for some reason didn't show up when I searched 'sweat' before posting) the consensus seems to be this - yes sweat can harm your iems if it gets into the...

I had a pair of Westone UM1s for nearly 2 years and absolutely loved them. A few months back I started back at the gym and used them continuously. However after about a month or so my headphones suddenly died. Well not suddenly the sound started to become tinny and quiet, until there was...

Thanks to everyone. I finally went with the UM1s which were delivered about 2 hours ago. I am blown away. Songs I've known since I was a kid are totally new again. Amazing. A friend of mine, put his trust in me and said 'whatever you buy, get me the same' I can't wait to see his face when he...

So far thanks for all the advice, most posts are confirming what I already thought...the Shures shouldn't be in my shortlist. Let's dump the Shures off the list then. UM1's seem to be highly recommended as are the Etymotic Er6i's. My only issue was they both look so fragile. Can anyone, from...

After finally deciding to buy a decent pair of headphones. And after weeks of research I still can't make my mind up on which to get. From my research I have come up with the following short list. Shure SE100 Shure SCL2 UM super.fi.3 Studio Westone UM1 Etymotics ER6i I know their are...
