    Are any of the MonoPrice earphones decent? (besides the MEP-933)

    TTT so is the quality of any of the other earphones similar to the MEP-933? Not necessarily the sound signature just the overall sound quality.

    Are any of the MonoPrice earphones decent? (besides the MEP-933)

    MonoPrice has five different kinds of earphones EXCLUDING the MEP-933 which we all know has great bang/buck. What about these other earphones, two of them are Apple knockoffs and the other three are ???   So what's the general consensus on these?

    HD 650 Drivers

    Sorry to bring back an old thread, but my question relates perfectly to this topic.   My question is: do the replacement drivers that you buy from Sennheiser all use the same mounting mechanism and pattern for the HD580, 600, and 650? In other words: can I buy an HD 650 driver and replace...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    Hey there Joker, I have a question about the RE0. I asked you several weeks ago about what eartips I should use with the RE0, and you told me to wait until I received some dual and triple-flange tips that were coming in the mail. I received them, but unfortunately, the size I ordered is too...

    Making a custom IEM with silicone ear plugs

    I got the Radians DIY custom earplugs in the mail today from Amazon. I mixed together equal parts of the two materials but it plain doesn't harden. I mixed it about 4 hours ago, and it still doesn't stay in a ball, it turns into a puddle. Mind you the instructions say it will take 10 min. maybe...

    Making a custom IEM with silicone ear plugs

    http://www.howtogeek.com/57481/how-to-make-custom-silicone-ear-molds-for-your-in-ear-monitors/   This guy used silicone ear plugs and made a mold of his ear, then he stuck his IEMs in it and cut a hole. I'm going to do the same thing, so I have some Monoprice MEP-933 on the way. But I have a...

    Anyone have experience with this amp?

    That's not always convenient. Case in point: AudioTechnica ATH-AD500, the earpads are molded to be worn in one direction only.

    Anyone have experience with this amp?

    Remember that age-old adage "you get what you pay for"? Well, the headphone out on the Listen L75E is reversed! The right channel sounds from the left, and the left channel comes from the right. I wonder if they have any adapters that swap the L/R channels. Or I could buy an RCA -> 3.5mm...

    HiFiMan RE0: How many versions, and how do you identify them?

    I did some Googling, and couldn't find a concrete answer to my above questions. I'm sure others have wondered the same thing about their RE0.   While the RE0 has always used the same driver and housing, my understanding is that the cable/connector have had four different revisions. In the...

    Klipsch X10 stolen: Looking to buy $20-$30 IEM. Details inside.

    +1 for MEP-933. Add some Sony Hybrids and you're good to go. In your price range, nothing even comes close. But you have to be comfortable wearing them over-the-ear, because they have a significant amount of microphonics.   Source of recommendation...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    Wow, thanks for the response joker! I'll wait and see like you suggested.   Also, I forgot to tell you this, but thanks for all that you've done (and are doing). Before I found this massive review database I was always thinking to myself, "but how will I ever know how good *insert earphones*...

    Longest Lifespan of an IEM You Own?

    I got the JLAB J2 in March of 2010 and it still works, so that's 23 months and counting. That thing can take some abuse man. The earbuds got caught between my bed and the nightstand, and I didn't know, so I pulled it, hard. The wires are not firmly attached inside of the earbuds anymore, but it...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    Sorry, let me clarify this post, I want ear tips that will bring the RE0 toward a neutral sound signature.   I have the HiFiMan RE0 coming in the mail, and I'm wondering what eartips to get. I don't have the PL30 so I can use the foam tips, and I don't want to go to the trouble of de-coring...

    Good Cheap workout or throw around IEM's.

    If you want good and cheap in the same set of IEMs, the Monoprice MEP-933 is a fantastic deal. Read IjokerI's comparison of 225 IEMs and you will see that it gets a 7.5 for sound quality. The A151 by MEElectronics "only" gets a 7.4 and that thing is selling for about $50. Granted, the A151 has a...
