    Another Help Me decide Thread (Under $150)

    @FYU - I love the sound of My SA6's but after 2 sets of wires, and 4 ear pieces I am finding them to be too much work. I will keep them around for at my desk/backup but would like something a little more resilient. About the PFE's, I have read a couple of reviews stating that they weren't...

    Another Help Me decide Thread (Under $150)

    It is now time to pick up another set of earphones. In the past I have owned the following: Shure E2C, SE210, Ultimate Ears 3, and Sleek SA6. I listen to mostly contry and jazz (yea a contradiction). I am looking for something around $150 CAD, willing to order through the internet. In ear with...

    Best IEMs for mids? custom or universal

    In my limited experience I have found that the Shures isolate so well because of their olives. The olives do fit the Sleeks (barely) and for the short time I have used them I find that Isolation is at least as good on the SA6's as on my old SE210's.

    Sleek SA6

    My Sleeks arrived yesterday and I was amazed, no customs fees. however that seems to be where my luck ends. After trying various tips and plugs (with ~20 hrs burnin). One ear piece seems to his no matter whether it is on the right or the left cable. Called sleek and left a message, hopefully...

    Sleek SA6

    Just took the plunge, and I have to say already I am impressed with SoundEarphones' customer service. I accidently selected International shipping instead of Canadian, and by 9:30 this morning I had already recieved a refund (for the difference) and a notice that the phones had been shipped...

    suggestions on few IEMs (shure, etymotic, UE, denon)

    Just a warning, I thought that the UE 3's were a good buy and everyone was raving their value when I bought them. Got them, put them in, and realized they were huge. I have tried the modification some will mention, it does not stop them from being HUGE. Have not heard the other ones on your list...

    Panasonic Slimz HX70

    Okay so this is my first review. I found these phones the other day while looking for something to try, couldn't find any information or reviews on them at the time so I figured what the heck. The HX70 is Panasonic's newest portable supra-aural cans. On the left cup is a retractable cord...

    Sleek SA6

    BloodSugar00: Are you describing sibilance? Yes, thank-you, and now I know what the effect is called as well.

    Sleek SA6

    I am a little new to this, and have only owned 2 good IEM's (Shure E2C and SE210). I noticed with both of these that the 'highs' can linger. Think the end of a female singer's high-notes will vibrate near the end, creating a harsh feeling. This is noticeable from a CD driven by my stereo. Is the...

    Help, comfort for a glasses wearer

    Thanks for the advice, I will look into the Grados and Sennheisers. I found the JBL 410s real cheap and was wondering if they were worth it?

    Help, comfort for a glasses wearer

    I am a student looking for a new at Home/Office set of headphones. Normally I use Shure SE210s with Olives but at a desk where I have to continually take them on and off they get kind of annoying. My listening tastes normally focus on Country and Jazz. I am looking for advice on a decent...
