Hello all,   A couple of years ago, after advice from this forum, I bought a pair of Panasonic HJE900s which were said to be brilliant for the price (£70). I loved them, but they broke a little over a year later, so I bought a new pair after (fortunately) finding them on offer for the same...

  Quote: Agree with all this. Durability-wise it is pretty much perfect. As for the stock silicone tips... I ordered the Super.Fi tips last week after recommendations on here and, unfortunately, I found that they didn't improve isolation at all. So a tenner wasted there, and I've gone...

Can anyone help with my tips dilemma? I'm really starting to love the earphones, but isolation is still a big issue for me. I generally prefer listening at lower volumes, but it's pretty impossible to do that with the HJE900s whilst on a train, or even walking down a busy street.   Will the...

I finally got these last week, and after a bit of listening I have to say... so far, so good. I wasn't impressed at first because the mid-range seemed a tad too recessed, with the overpowering bass (to, me anyway - coming from a Shure SE210) not helping matters. But apparently burn-in will bring...

Cheers once again for the reply - that, and your excellent review, was enough to convince me.   Now to wait patiently for the delivery... I hear Play.com are rather slow these days.

  Quote: Cheers. One more quick question - am I right in thinking the RE0 tips will also fit? If not then I'll just get the Super.Fi tips, a quick google suggests they're cheap enough.   Still having a hard time deciding between these and the PFE 012s... I'll have to be quick...

I'm after some decent IEMs myself, as per the thread below:   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/503112/earphone-advice-hippo-vb-jays-q-jays-or-phonak-audeo-pfe-012   I have to say - from what I've read these HJE900s sound right up my street! And for only £70...   Just a couple of...

Quote: Having read this review (as well as others) I have to say they do sound good - plus, Play.com currently have them for £70. Might be a slight issue over the included tips - are they comfortable enough, and if not, then will the Shure ones fit?   So it seems like it's currently a...

Cheers for all the replies.   Quote: Hmm, I was under the impression that the Hippo VBs punched above their weight and were fantastic value for the price, especially when you factor in the ability to tune the sound with the bass plates. Never heard of the HJE900s, I'll look into them -...

Anyone? Or did my ridiculously long post put people off? 

  Hello all,   I've been using Shure's for the past four years: E2Cs > E3Cs > currently using SE210s. I've never had a major problem with the sound quality on those earphones, mainly because I've always used EQ on all my DAPs to compensate.   However, I've recently started to use...
