Fiio Q3 not Enabling Spotify
I am using a Sony NW-ZX507 player. The music files on the player work fine with the amp attached to the player. When switching over to Spotify, I get no sound with the amp. If I bypass the amp and plug straight into the player, Spotify plays fine. Spotify and the Sony are updated to latest...- Spyro

Original owner, purchased directly from JH Audio in 2014. Been in storage box the last 6-7 years as I upgraded. Original cable shows oxidation but I have never unplugged them off the housings. They work perfect. In all the IEM's I have ever owned, these were the best bang for buck at the $400...- Spyro

Westone W80
I have owned the custom ES60 for several years now. Total cured upgraditis till recently. Was looking for crisper high end and slightly larger sound stage. Purchased Mach 80 recently and it ads the high end and sound stage but the sound seems less "full." Using with a non amped Sony NW-ZX507...- Spyro

Mid to High-End IEM vs vs Low-End Custom CIEM
Go to the top. TF10’s have terrible ergonomics and a very cloudy mid bass. The JH16’s are more holographic than JH5 but they sound similarly tuned. I have had Westone’s ES60’s for almost a year and those are my end game. Fantastic in every area and seem a bit more detailed and less bloated than...- Spyro

Westone UM PRO Series Thread
Yea, there's a tendency for them to come off. Just try to un-sert them carefully...untwist..or whatever to minimize sticking. But yes, they should conside a very mild barb of some sort to secure them just a little bit more. Foam muffles high frequencies, period. Star trips are...- Spyro

Westone UM PRO Series Thread
I find the "star" tips with the compression striations built in the silicone to be a great invention in audio. IMHO they achieve same bass response as foam but keep the treble frequencies intact. Trust me..I have experimented plenty but also know that fit is an individual thing. Just find the...- Spyro

Jerry Harvey Audio "JH5"
Anybody own this IEM but me? To this day in 14 years on HF I think it's still the best $$ for the money I ever spent. Had them for about 8-9 years now...original cable. If they ever blew out I'd probably immediately buy another pair. How Jerry was able to attain such a cohesive...- Spyro

Westone W80
WOW!!! I've been absent for a while but trying to get back in the swing here..... I apologize if I missed something but are we talking about poor quality craftmanship from faceplates? I MUST have this wrong or it's it's a joke or something. It's a faceplate.....it's fixated on the IEM...- Spyro

Westone W60 Impressions Thread
Yes.....I got very use to my Pro50 with easy plug and play with no amp. Detail is all there but soft and laid back. Bass is insane with tremendous SLAM! (moreso than SE846 whose bass is closer to W60). This W60 is SO revealing....so balanced. Dumbfounded how anyone could pick SE846 over it...- Spyro

Westone W60 Impressions Thread
I owned the the W50 for one day and I found the bass to be a hideous mess. Other than hip hop and rap it will destroy the presentation of any other music you enjoy. Westones biggest mistake for such an expensive IEM IMHO. Think back on how people thought how W3 bass was so overblown. Now...- Spyro

Westone W60 Impressions Thread
W60 has quite a bit more bass and a fuller sound. IE800 has a larger soundstage and (as W60 treble is) much more upper end treble and a freakish amount of detail retreival. Maybe the best of anything in my dated IEM profile. Reminded much of the JH13 I had. I got rid of IE800 because...- Spyro
