More than a little down this morning here in Thailand - had an absolute blinder last night but it would seem that I've lost the one pair of expensive IEMs that really did it for me (my Shures have been a major disappointment from day one, but the Westones were great). Given the relative ease...

Hello, this is my first post here. This looks like a website where people really know what they are talking about, so here i go. I want to change my stock smartphone headset, but i want to keep the mic+button to answer calls and change/pause music. So i need a earbud with this features, but as...

What I have now is nothing crazy but I love them, they are the ATH-CKM50A.   I would like to upgrade and since everyone seems to love the CKM500 but I would also like to test, or maybe buy once for all a "more professional" grade headphones, the Etymotic HF5 and stop thinking about...

I guess I'd define bang-for-the-buck as the most universally pleasant for the price paid. I know "universally" is a tough concept, but I'll defer to those of you with keener ears, more demanding tastes, and far wider experience and closets full of gear. For the record, I really do listen to...

Hi, there. Brand new member here, but I've been skulking around as a guest for awhile. So I recently purchased some Audio Technica CKM500s and love them. That being said, I have now noticed that I'm getting a decent amount of hiss. Once you hear it, it's hard to ignore. I'm using a Note 3 with...

I just bought the Sony XPA-3IP from amazon for ~130 based on recommendations from people in in the sales thread but I think I might have been too hasty. For the listed price, would you guys recommend these headphones? Are there any better headphones available for around the same price? 

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the best IEM I can get for under $100. I know this question is very broad and I need to be more specific, but to be honest, I don't have any knowledge/experience with good IEM. My previous IEM was a Sennheiser CX 500 and at the time of purchase ~4 years ago, it...

Hi Audiophiles! First time poster! I consider myself an audio noob, but I appreciate good sound (but not necessarily accurate at knowing what is good when I hear it) and I have been lurking around this forum for the past couple of months looking for headphone recommendations.   Bear with me...

Hi headfiers, i want to buy a in ear earphones that deliver strong thumping, deep ear drum vibrating bass, so i have done a little research of my own and was wondering which is better the HAFX1X from JVC or the Sony mdr-xb41 in earphones and if you know any that are better at producing bass then...

Hey guys,   So I have Klipsch Image S4's and they are awesome.  I want new in-ear earphones though, and I've been looking around and I've seen that SoundMAGIC E10's are the best for around £35.  I listen to dubstep so I would love lots of bass, and the E10's have reportedly amazing bass.  ...

I thought i would treat myself to some decent headphones (2 pairs actually). Music is my passion so i thought why not invest in something to take my listening experience to the next level I have a budget of £200 (+/- £20 if its worth the extra funds) and with that I would like to get 2 pairs. 1...

Hello everyone, I'm searching for a new iem and hope you could help me with some suggestions. I currently own a pair of brainwavz m4 which have great clarity and a nice bass but i find the mids to be lacking. Therefore I would prefer it if the mids were more upfront and intimate, for me...

So I was going to add this to the ATH-CKM500 thread, but that really quickly degraded into an sub $200 IEM pissing match.    I am looking for a good pair of IEM's for use with my 6th Gen iPod Nano and my 5th gen Rockboxed iPod. My Criteria are as follows;   Must be able to work out with...

Hi I am looking for an IEM with good dynamic range, and decent bass, treble and soundstage in that order of priority. My budget is limited to 90 USD for now. I'm guessing BA IEMs can offer a good dynamic range as they're quick, but then bass impact/quantity becomes a concern with most...

Hey guys and girls,   Long time lurker, Electrical Engineering student and musician.  So naturally I am interested in the inner workings of headphones.   I have a long history with full size headphones but would like to try some IEMs since I have am in need of something more portable...
