Grr... title should be "IEM Repair UK". Having a bad week. Had one of my UE5pros earbuds fall apart. Both the drivers are intact but one of the wires inside came away from it's solder and it needs a super-fine re-soldering job. And one of our kittens managed to chew through my emergency...

I recently got a pair off of eBay from an HK vendor, and before all of y'all start telling me that they are fake for that reason alone, just bear with me being a noob for a minute. I know that being boxed with professional looking accoutrements doesn't mean much towards proving being genuine...

I am looking for new headphones with decent clarity and bass.  I wear my headphones mostly in the gym and behind the ear just doesn't work well for me when being active.  It looks like the VSONIC VSD3 is better then the VSD1 but mainly designed for behind the ear use.  Am I right about this...

I'm renting an apartment and god it's noisy, so noisy. I'll pay up to 600 dollars for something that can give me peace and quiet. Make that a thousand. In-ear monitors aren't an option, they're too uncomfortable for me. This is something I'll be wearing every time I don't feel like listening...

5 years ago I bought my first pair of earbuds they where the Covy cve91. I don t know if anyone have the same experience but this earphones was the best noise isolating earphone I ve ever tried. also a lot better than the sennheiser cx 300, I remember that I can not hear anything from the...

Hey guys!   Yes, I am aware there are many of these threads lazing around, but I want the most updated one on this topic!   So, what IEMs would you guys say is the most worthy for under $50?   I know the SoundMAGIC E10 is one of those, so no need to mention that one again:)   Anyways, if...

I'm looking for IEM's but I've no idea where to start (CX300's are my only experience with IEM's and they blow). I'm using HD-25s at the moment, but I've gotten new glasses and now they hurt my ears after a while . So I'm looking for IEM's with similair sound quality and isolation. I will be...

Hello guys. Glad to be on this forum and have my first thread.   I own a pair of Sennheiser Adidas CX 300's and Monster iSport livestrong. Both great earbuds. But now im looking for the final pair of earbuds for my collection. I have heard good things about the s4i's and actually stumbled...

I know this has been discussed before, but what is the general concensus at the moment: Which is more likely to give you hearing damage, IEM's or full size cans? Apparently most people agree that when listening to music in louder environments, IEM's are better because they block out much of the...

Hi guys,   My Sennheiser CX300's recently broke on me after a few years and I am now looking for a new set.   My budget is around £50 but this can very if it's really needed. Do you guys know of any alternatives?   Thanks! :)

I already made my choices and was about to buy a Soundmagic pl11 // Sennheiser cx300 but i cant find any of those 2 in stock.  I saw the MX series of Sennheiser and i was surprised that they  were really cheap. Even cheaper than philipps. I was wondering if theyre any good? I wanna know what a...

Hi! I'm new of this forum :)   I'm not necessarely an audiophile, but I care of what I listen to... so...   I have a Cowon iAudio 10, I listen all flac audio (and a bunch of mp3 and wma) with a pair of Skullcandy Aviator headphones and a pair of Sennheiser CX300 earphones (I use them...

i was searching for cheap sennheisers to buy and i came across this website: Sennheiser - Good price shop save and easy all the time! i know they are many fake sennheisers so i wanted to ask edit: i found it by searching (sennheiser cx300) in google then clicking on shopping.

I am looking for new earphones. Right now i'm using the normal Ipod earphones. I am thinking of buying in-ear's and I found some nice reviews about these two. The 400 is a little more expensive so I would like to know if it's worth the extra money.

Right now for my portable setup I am using 5G Ipod > little dot micro+ > Sony MDR-G051 .. for a photo of the Sony headphones.. http://images.google.com/images?clie...-8&sa=N&tab=wi Has anyone else used these Sony headphones before? They are pretty portable and I am actually quite surprised in...

I am looking to buy some new Sennheiser Earphones. Looking in the <$40 price range. I listen to mostly techno, and house music. Although I listen to "bass heavy" music, I DO NOT like headphones where bass over powers everything, and mids and highs suck. I prefer a flatter frequency response...

Weird thread :) I know but you'll understand.    I have opened a tread a few months ago for bass heavy IEM recommendation for an EDM listener, me :) I decided to buy MH1C after recomendations, I loved it at first, but cable was really bad, and the volume was really low (with iphone). Then I...

Hello, I would like to know, which one of these is better.   I'm looking for punchy bass and clear / crisp sound...   (it can be any kind of Senheiser "in-ear" earphones - not just EX310SL, but under 60$) (or any other under 60$?)   Thank you very much!

Last week, somehow my Klipsch Image S3 disappeared and obviously isn't coming back. I've been going around doing research on high quality IEMs for ~$50 (after LOTS of disappointments from generic brand IEMs) and came up with 3 candidates. The most important factors here are isolation and audio...

Hello all,    My fist post here, have been reading for a while, and could do with a little advice please.   My HF3s died a cable ripping death yesterday after 18 months of daily use. The kind manager of the Apple store gave me a full refund onto an itunes card (£135). This leaves me very...

First of all hello to everyone, since this is my first post here. I'm about to buy myself a pair of some hi-end IEMs, I've been reading up on that here on head-fi and many other places, but everytime I'm nearly convinced something new comes up... my problem is that I live in Poland where it's...

I do most of my listening on an Ipod on a commuter train or subway.  I typically listen to podcasts and music that won't particularly stretch a decent set of earphones (e.g. rock but not the crazy thumping bass hairband kind).  For a few years, I used Senn CX300's, but they kept breaking.  I...

  Hi guys   I need to buy new IEM under 100 dollars. my requirements are as follows:   1. Nice all round balanced sound  2. small as i sleep with the IEMs on many times   At the moment i am using  Sennheiser CX 300-II Precision and i am very pleased with the sound and the fit...

I'm going to be a little long-winded here, so if you would like to help me, but do not want to humor me, please skip to the bottom of this post. Two years ago I was spending all of my time at my computer and listening to music, and my painful Sony on ear MDR-(something cheap) were...

Hey guys, I recently purchased a pair of Grado SR80i's after reading thousands upon thousands of reviews online and I'm thoroughly anticipating it's arrival! I'm a bit of a n00b to the world of headphones having only owned a pair of Sennheiser CX300's and Sony MDR-V150's. I've also read through...
