Westone 4 Impressions and Reviews Thread
I got the Earportz Trial pack with the XS, SM, M, and L sizes. I really wasn't expecting much but wow they are real comfortable. I was using the SM size for a while since they seemed to fit the best but I didn't think it sounded that good. Went to M size and WOW, these things blow me away. They...- chewychewbacca

Etymotic Research HF-5 - Insanely Good - Why is this thing only going for $150?
Well this thread is reassuring. I was a bit skeptical since Amazon was selling them for $100. I guess I should not rely on price so much as a factor for earphone quality :) Can't wait to try them out.- chewychewbacca

Etymotic Research HF-5 - Insanely Good - Why is this thing only going for $150?
So is it a good idea to buy some comply tips? I really liked using my E2C's foam tips. Only part of it I didn't like was that they got dirty and waxy real quick. I'm getting my HF5 today so I'm going to take a quick pre-burn run, then let them burn in for a while, and enjoy them in a few days...- chewychewbacca

Best $150 mainstream IEM
Would the UE TripleFi 10 be a big upgrade? I'd like to upgrade to a better earphone than what I've had before (E2C and V-Moda Vibes). I'm looking at those since it's only $50 dollars more than the UE you mentioned. It would be cool to have another to compare with the HF5's during my trip. Any...- chewychewbacca

Best $150 mainstream IEM
Some extra info on what I've had if it helps any: I previously have owned Shure E2C which I felt did not have enough bass but had a lot of sound quality and stage presence which I liked. These were amazing when I was mostly listening to classic rock and the like though. The cord on the E2C...- chewychewbacca

Best $150 mainstream IEM
Hi guys, I ordered the Etymotic HF5's on a whim for $100 shipped off amazon since I saw the lifehacker article and need quality In-ears ASAP for my trip on Tuesday. However, I am afraid that the bass may not be adequate as I keep hearing that it really lacks bass. I listen to a lot of...- chewychewbacca
