Samsung's new IEM's
Quote: Quote: Why? Samsung is one of the largest consumer electronics companies in the world, and I can't even imagine what their yearly R&D budget is ... wouldn't be unexpected at all to me if they put out some quite decent IEMs.- jwhitakr

Samsung's new IEM's
I have the EHS63 and am testing them now --- so far they are not half bad. Some issues with fit and comfort, and the cable microphonics are sub-par, but sound quality is pretty decent. Haven't tested in the inline mic yet. Will be writing up a full review in the next week or so.- jwhitakr

Shootout: 114 Portable Headphones Reviewed (Xiaomi Mi Headphones added 04/21/2015)
Quote: Whew, those PIIQ PQ2 are some of the fugliest portables I have ever seen. They look like a bad set of sofa cushions from the 1970s! (p.s. in the last sentence in the review it looks like an 'o' is missing in 'Coloud') The Philips Stretch, on the other hand, looks...- jwhitakr

SP-100 Sound Pressure Level Meter for earphones and iems!!
Just finished my review of the SPL-100. I must say that I was impressed by it. Been quite a long since I've reviewed a product that was so useful. My biggest complaint is that you can't find it anywhere readily available for sale!- jwhitakr

Help my dad pick jogging IEMs
MEElec M6 worked great for me while jogging, and are now available for less than $30. They may not be the best choice for classical, though. Not sure how many recommendations you'll be able to get for a jogging IEM that is used primarily for classical music. I now use the Sennheiser...- jwhitakr

A plea to the community--let's standardize the way we describe sonic signatures

A plea to the community--let's standardize the way we describe sonic signatures
Interesting post, but I really struggle to understand how you are proposing this would actually be accomplished. There is no "Audio governing body" that defines each and every audio term in precise detail. What we have today are generally understood (but often mis-used) terms like bass, mids...- jwhitakr

Review: Munitio Teknine SITi 9mm – Locked & Loaded
Quite a review, nice job with it (even if it was a bit lengthy for my taste. :-) ) I remember being interested in these when they first came out, but couldn't get ahold of a pair and so I completely forgot about them until seeing this review. Your review certainly makes them sound...- jwhitakr

Anyone try the Phiaton PS 20 yet?
As usual, joker is spot on. Although I've never really been sold on the idea of a half-in ear design, the PS20 sure does a lot right for it's $99 retail price. Full review is at http://www.topreviewshop.com/phiaton_ps20_earphones- jwhitakr

New releases from Meelec: HT-21 Portables, CC51 Ceramic IEMs, A151 Armatures
Looks like Meelec is going to be busy in 2011 releasing lots of new models. Can't say that I am surprised given how much they are discounting their current models! HT-21 is still the most interesting to me, since it's their first portable set. Cheers on the nice review of it, joker.- jwhitakr

Looking for a speaker dock system
How portable are you looking for? If you aren't too concerned about portability, and you're willing to spend $200-$300, the Audioengine A5 would be my recommendation. In sound quality, it easily trumps the smaller iPod speaker docks that I have tested. Requires AC power and is not portable...- jwhitakr

News letter?
I too was not happy to get another newsletter from a website out-of-the-blue. I don't ever remember opting in to receive a newsletter from head-fi, was it part of the original registration process?

Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)
Outstanding round-up of dual drivers --- kudos! My favorite line was from the PS200 conclusion ---> "... and aesthetics Monster’s earphone division could envy." (hmmm.... maybe I should start a new thread about your thread: "Favorite quotes from Joker's humongous IEM thread???) ...- jwhitakr

IEM's, under $80, loud guitars, gym. Pretty please!
Of those that you listed, the Meelec M6 gets my vote. (disclaimer - have only listened to the M6 and the im-590 from your list.) M6 wins in comfort and stays absolutely planted when exercising. Whether you like the sound signature better than the others is a toss-up.- jwhitakr

Shootout: 114 Portable Headphones Reviewed (Xiaomi Mi Headphones added 04/21/2015)
Nice job with the addition of the HD238! I'm still burning mine in, so don't have conclusive opinions yet, but for the most part I agreed with your take on 'em. BTW - when your multi-IEM review thread turns one year old, how are you going to top your 7-day-7-review bonanza? Going to do a...- jwhitakr

TDK EB900 comments, anyone?
Full review of the EB900 is done: http://www.topreviewshop.com/tdk_eb900_earphones Overall a decent set of IEMs, but nothing extraordinary and you can find better clarity/detail at their price point.- jwhitakr

Review by 'jwhitakr' on item 'Phiaton PS 200 Sound Isolating In-Ear Earphones with Dual Micro Transducers (Woofer andTweeter)'
Design A silver housing, accented by a black nozzle and a black "fan blade" back, gives the PS200 a unique look. The fan blade back has a look similar to a jet engine (although this visual cue has no real impact on the acoustics of the earphones). I rather like the design as it sets the...- jwhitakr
