I've been happily using my Phonak PFE 112 with Shure Olives for the past four year, but I'm now casually wondering if there's a newer pair of IEMs that would offer a marked improvement. I listen to rock, punk and metal (primarily alternative, indie and hardcore), and a tiny bit of electronic. I...

Hey all, Here's another "Which sound card should I get?" thread to bore you with. I'm currently listening to my Edifier S330D 2.1 speakers (Edifier S330D Multimedia Speaker) through my Audigy 1 (with Daniel K's drivers) on Windows 7 Profession x64. Some driver issues are forcing me to...

Can anyone tell me what size of Olives I should buy if I use large Comply? Thanks!

To those who have used both Comply and Olive tips, are large Comply about the same size as large Olives?

That's weird; it shows up as $0 for me and we live in the same city. I spoke to Megan at AudeoWorld earlier today and she said they'll be starting to process refunds on the GST/PST tomorrow, so maybe the website will show consistent results in the next few days. Quote: Originally...

It's been fixed as far as I can tell- when you add them to your cart, they no longer charge sales tax. Quote: Originally Posted by shoryuken I'm from Canada and really on the fence on whether I should order these! If I order now, has the GST mixup be resolved? (i.e not get charged...

I got dinged with an extra $29.12 charge at the door: GST, PST and a $10 brokerage fee (I think... I can't read it, but it says either ROD Fee or RQD Fee). Quote: Originally Posted by shoryuken I'm also curious on whether people from Canada have had to pay extra duties/brokerage...

Just got my PFEs. As my first real IEMs, it's like listening to songs for the first time! I'm using them mainly to play drums however, and they don't isolate quite as much as I'd like. How do the PFEs with Complys compare to the Westone UM2 or Shure SE530 in terms of isolation? And I guess...

To anyone who has owned or used the Sennheiser CX300 or Creative EP-630, how does the isolation of the Phonaks compare?

Thanks for the suggestions, all. I found a Canadian authorized dealer of Westone products, so I'm leaning towards the UM1s or UM2s; the W3s are a bit much for me at CAD$450 as a first IEM. For my usage, it doesn't seem like Westone's combination of isolation, fit and lack of microphonics can...

Hey everyone, Here's my version of the "Which IEM should I buy?" thread. I'm looking for a pair of IEMs for listening to rock/punk/metal; the bands I listen to most often include Radiohead, Muse, Rise Against, Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, The Offspring, Rage Against the Machine...
