replacement filters for etymotic er6i
Does anyone know if there is a source for etymotic er6i filters? The company doesn't sell them and I'm not seeing any on eBay and Amazon. Can I use the green or red filters? I'm not super concerned about fidelity - I just want to listen to some music on the lawnmower :D- jrubins

World First! Massdrop x HiFIMAN Collaboration Announcement
Got my he-350 in a few days ago. The sound is a bit on the harsh side in the treble. Ive been playing music through them for a few hours a day, so we'll see if that improves the sound after a few days. The re00 came in today, and I have to say "wow" to those. The sound is very balanced and...- jrubins

What should I buy?
I tried to get some with the mods already applied today ... but they were sold out ;) OPPO-PM3s are high on my list, though. Definitely interested in this closed back planar black magic. Seems like that's a pretty new thing.- jrubins

What should I buy?
Alright Internet, For some inexplicable reason, I have the urge to get another set of cans for work. They'll be powered by my Fiio e17. Mostly I listen to jazz, classical, and electronic at work. Closed back or in-ear, not on ear. Comfort is paramount. I'm leaning towards over-the-ear varieties...- jrubins

Review by 'jrubins' on item 'Audio-Technica ATH-W1000 Headphones'
I've had these cans for a couple of years, and I got them knowing they had a 'forward' tonal presentation. That calms down after some serious break in time, but they are still quite bass-shy. Bass is definitely there through the range of acoustic instruments, but they aren't going to faithfully...- jrubins

Home-Made IEMs
Bill, I don't know if I'd use the shapelock directly... it gets a bit warm to the touch at molding temperatures. I was thinking about using the radians to make a positive impression of my ear, then making a negative mold from plaster of paris (or something), and then making a positive out...- jrubins

Custom shells from earplugs
Ok, so now I've tried the earplugs. The radians system is basically some sort of rubbery epoxy, made from two silly-putty-like components. I tried to follow the basic instructions for making earplugs, but with a straw in my ear canal to guide the rest of plug construction. Unfortunately...- jrubins
