    Reshell old UE Superfi.5 vs new IEMs

    Wish I had them reshelled when they broke a long time back when it was easy to find services & they were cheap. Seems like a reshell is in the $250-300 range which is about what they cost new. Considering the UEs are at least a decade old I'm *assuming* I can get better sound in the same...

    Which IEMs with mic WON'T cut out in the wind?

    I bought some UE Metrofi 220vi to use under my helmet on my Vespa and walking around with my iPhone - however to my dismay I discovered that the mic circuitry is ALWAYS active and when there is enough surrounding noise (ie, wind blast) it will cut the audio feed entirely. This is while playing...

    It's been awhile, SoFla meet?

    Hello SoFla head-fiers! It looks like it may have been many months since you all last gathered... I hosted a meet a couple of years ago downtown at my condo and thought it might be time to do so again. Hopefully Wmcmanus can be enticed to join with his stupendous collection along with several...

    Grado IEM - info?

    I saw Drew from Moon Audio mentioned these a few times but I haven't been able to pull anything up in a search on them. Any news/details/rumors? I'm very curious!

    Just picked up some Stax, SR-30, SRD-4&7

    Just bought these and they look to be in good, working condition. I know jack about electrostatics... but looks like I need to hook this up to some speaker outputs? What about power - the SRD-4 just has four bare wires and the 7 has a regular plug plus another cord ending in four bare wires...

    Grado comfort mod - very simple!

    So my left ear gets sore from my Grados pretty quickly - I realized it isn't the bowls themselves (well they could be softer too) but that part of my ear contacts the hard plastic speaker grille/shield and that is what hurts. Hrm... I had two pads from some cheapy streetstyles... and what I...

    Do the buttons on Grados matter sonically?

    So I'm wondering - do they? I just got my 325s and have been playing around with them. I recall a thread talking about putting your hands over the cups - man, they sound very weird like that! What I'm wondering is - do the buttons have any effect? I'd guess not since Grado probably wouldn't...

    Closest sonic signature to Grado PS-1?

    Ok, I know there isn't anything that is going to sound the same - but what in your opinion has a close sonic signature to the PS-1s? I've listened to SR-80s, two sets of woodied HF-1s, HP-1000s, and SR-325i so far in comparison and the SR-325i had the closest sound to me. What about the...

    What tips/sleeves are compatible with Super.Fis?

    What other models' tips will work? I understand the Super.Fi has a larger diameter transducer tube than most of the other IEMs out there. Anyone know what else will work? I'd like to try a tri-flange specifically with them. Thanks!

    Best (comfort) for sleep?

    Any suggestions for a headphone to sleep with? I'd prefer something with a bit of isolation (I use Super.Fis right now) and that I could lay on without discomfort. Oh, and relatively cheap too - it's bedtime so I don't need the bomb dig SQ.

    Sound problem with my new Super.fi 5 Pro

    I just bought a set of the Super.fi 5 Pros today and I noticed that sound out of the left side fades in and out. If I shake the cord/DAP it will cause the sound to fade in and out What gives - is the unit bad or am I doing something wrong?

    What is the best choice for me?

    Hi folks, great forum here! Alright hook me up with some suggestions I listen to MP3s primarily either out of a MobiBlu DAH-1500i or direct from a PC and would like some decent headphones. I like the idea of something like the Ety ER-4x with the sound attenuation and small size. I'm not...
