Are the Nuforce phones not a full insertion IEM? It appears to me they are, but I've never seen in person.

I'm looking for a good quality outer-canal phone for around $50 or less. By outer-canal I mean a design that doesn't seal deep into the ear but does insert shallowly into the canal opening. I'm going to buy a pair for my wife and a pair for my sister. Comfort and convenience are key for...

Yeah, I can do a little amp poor n. As you can see there is a battery powered supply as well.

About seven years ago I bought a DIY amp from someone on this board. I don't remember his name, but he was a pretty popular member of the board and had a cottage business selling homemade amps. Anyway, I laid my amp to rest for a long time but now I'd like to start using it again...

I really like the EX-71 for it's comfort and good, but not absolute, isolation. But I've had cord problems with several pairs so I'm looking for an alternative. Here are the models I'm considering: md33, HJE50, JVC FX55, Koss plug models THese will be for listening to music (and some TV)...

I bought a pair of V6's about 7 months ago, and have finally gotten around to doing this mod. I just want to echo the sentiments that it is well worth doing. So much more comfortable! The sonic change is aggreable to my ears. But more importantly - for those of you who like the V6 sond as is...

The Ety site has a list of distributers that you might want to explore. There is a dealer in NYC that offers the custom earmolds for only $30 if you purchase ety's from them. You can get the earmolds when you purchase or at anytime later. They are normally about $100, it's a nice bit of...

Quote: Originally posted by radrd The ER4P is definitely worth it. Plus, get them from Headroom so that if you happen to be one of the unlucky few who don't care for them and/or can't get a good fit, you can return them easily. actually you might want to get them from custumearsets...

I know you said no clip-ons, but you really might want to think seriously about the ksc-35's. Conventional style phones are nice for portable use because you can put them on and take them off in a snap, and hang them around your neck when not in use. But, the ksc-35's are easy to put on...

Does nayone else have this problem? I've had my ER4S's for a over a year now. I love the sound. Paired with my supermini it's one hell of a portable audio system. But I've always had fit issues. I understand when people describe this phones as dissapearing in your ear, because that's what...

how much sound do these headphones leak to the outside? too much to use in a library? too much to use in a bedroom with someone sleeping?

Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't have soldering skills nor a soldering iron and I don't plan to aquire either anytime in the near future. If anyone knows of a retail solution or just has general info on these headphones I'm still curious.

I have an old pair of AKG K140's with a cable that is partially shredded so that sound comes in and out of the left channel. I'd like to get the cable replaced. Does anyone know of a place in NYC (or perhaps by mail order) that will do that? How much should I expect it to cost? Also, does...

Thanks for your thoughts LTUCCI: Agreed, he never said it is a meta, but he does say that it is "very much like a META 42" and the v3.0 "should sound as good as a full meta42 if not better." I've already ordered a v3.0 to pair with my ER4s because the size is just unbeatable and reviews have...

So much talk about whether the super-mini is a true META42, or whether fixup is "cashing in on the meta name". For those of you in the know, what are the practical and technical differences between the super-mini and a traditional META design? How close would you say the super-mini comes to...
