So I'm in the market for new IEM's after the dog ate mine.   Looking for a decent set in the $100-$150 range. Listen to all sorts of music - Metal, EDM, Hip Hop, Podcasts. Doing my research I think both the SE 215's and GR07's sound like good candidates for me. Decent bass is something I'm...

I'm on the hunt for new IEM's yet again and considering a few options with the following criteria:   Around $100(range up to $150 for a great deal) Need good isolation for the subway Low microphonics for walking around NYC, running, gym, etc. Worn over ear   I won't be amping...

Just purchased the Matrix Mini-i from Tam Audio after debating between this and the Yulong D100. Honestly price was the deciding factor. My first foray into the world of DAC's and looking forward to trying it out!

I'd like to ask an additional question as I'm after something similar in terms of a dac/amp combo for my xbox and laptop. Are there any other comparable options < $450 price mark? How does the DacMagic compare?   In the short term I'm just running these to Audioengine A5's so theoretically...

So after reading more I can articulate what I'm looking for in a couple of bullet points and hopefully get a few DAC/amp suggestions:   DAC and amp that:   -Has USB(for laptop) and optical(Xbox360) inputs -Amp is powerful enough to drive cans such as Senn 360 -Can use as preamp for...

Hi All,   I have been reading through the headfi threads regarding DACS, Amps and the like. I've made the decision to start building an audio rig but am starting small. I currently run my laptop straight to my AudioEngine A5's and use IEM's with my Sansa Clip+.   The first step it would...

I think the sound of these is pretty good, especially for the $35 price I paid a few months back. How can I tell if I have the newer IEM's or the old ones? I'm looking to buy some foam Comply tips.

I hope you find them these were a great deal. Is it possible to just buy the tips(the metal piece that screws on)? One of these came off on mine!

Thanks for the opinions thus far. I'll have to read up on the NE-7m. Saving money is always nice!

Both of these are comparable in cost and are well liked IEM's. I had UM1's but they met their untimely demise by dog. I liked them well enough and would consider a repurchase but the RE0's are getting a lot of press around here. I'm looking for: -Good isolation for subway -Very little or...

I'm looking to replace my UM1's which were attacked by a family dog. I would consider these again but wanted to see if at that price point(about $100) there were other better options. I listen to music and talk radio unamped from my Sansa Fuze - rock, metal, techno and some hip hop so an all...

I have the Audioengine A5's and have been pleased with them.

Hi I'm looking to be done with my onboard audio and headphone jack which only feeds one speaker half the time. My budget is around $100. These will be going to my Audioengine A5's. Thanks!

If I have a choice between used A5's for $200 or the Swan M200 MKII for $189(which will come out to be a few dollars more than $200) what is the better choice for hooking up to a laptop through a DAC?
