Ok so it has been almost 4-5 years since I have been into iems. Last time I was here, I was recommended Etymotic er6i, then I upgraded to Etymotic HF2.    I have had HF2 for almost 5 years. Now the wires is all peeling off and looks rather bad. I have been using it like that for a year, but...

If i close down major apps that utilize the cpu power (skype, games) then its almost fine, but it doesn't have the feeling of smoothness like the original app, but the Eq is really good on it. I also tried Equalizer but it's not what i thought it'd be, it seems like it eqs the song that can be...

I just tried EQu and it definitely does the job i was looking for. Its bass boost is much better than the preset apple EQ. BUT i own a 3gs, so the music cuts off at random times. is there any EQ that can be applied to regular "ipod" app so it wont lag or anything? Esp when i run EQu in the...

by richer  does it mean the impact or the detail? Sorry new to this stuff. I do like balanced bass to but on some tracks it feels like its almost flat. Do u think instead of spending $150 or so on iem, it'd be great to invest in FiioE5 since i want just a bit more bass.  Also does the bass...

haha so u think ue 700 has more bass than Etymotic HF2?

Thanks for replying. Here's a question that sparked me up. Etys do have good enough bass, not thumping but yea, on tracks that do have great amount of bass, but tracks with not much bass, feel somewhat flat on etys. Well my question: Since etys are at $150 price point (can be had for 100) if...

Positive reviews for UE 700 all over. When you talk about their bass, would u say that they have them thump (mid bass), with etys i do get bass and when song is bass heavy, the quality of bass tricks people into believing it's the actuall bass but when i listen the  thump is barely there

B2, seems like a new one. How does the bass compare since u said they are bright?

I need the iem to be bright as in have crisp treble, but from what i've read from the reviews, atrio is a dark, meaning very bassy but not crisp, is it true?

im digging atrios but, kind of confused on their treble shinyness

too much bass is never an issue as  long as its not distorted and taking over mid and high range. Eq can take care if theres too much bass. Are they better than turbine?

Also just figured their design is behind the ear, so no behind the ear design like shures.

They are WAY out of my budget :( Do u think they can be had for $200 or less refurbished or used? 

Hi so i've had etymotic HF2 for over an year. Im really happy with their clarity and the crisp sound that they produce, but can't  get enough bass, i found the perfect which makes the signature slightly warmer, makes me feel like there is bass, while the clarity remains, but can't get the thump...

I dont i have a feeling ill be dissappointed with them with their highs. Any other headphones around $150 that are deatiled and bright with bass? If not then i am planning on sticking with HF2 with probably FiiO E5

Did your turbine come with box or any accessory? Or just headphones and medium tips?

Yes beats by tour are crap, i've heard turbines sound way better than tours so wanted to find out tours are gonna be okay sounding then ill probably like turbines but tours are some garbage, which is why im doubting Turbines now.  @asak Can you provide details on how turbines sound and if you...

Yeah, but the only reason im thinking of monster turbine is coz i can have them for $50. How do tours and MT compare? I bought the tours just to get a rough idea of how turbine will sound.  Im liking the bass on the tours but they seem to not bright enough (coming from etys) Do turbines provide...

  Yeah thats what ive been thinking that etys may be far better than turbines. Have you ever tried glider tips on etys? They definetly increased the bass on my etys so im wondering if shure olives will increase it even more or its the same? Im guessing you dont know anything about amped etys...

Yeah the warranty issue is kind of bugging me. MT are not advised to use while working out or running. I go to gym  regularly. If it had 3 years of warranty on them then i wouldnt mind sending them back if they broke, but for refurbished its only 90 day and im sure ill run into some problems...

I finally found Monster Turbines for $50 refurbished. It seems like a steal. What do you guys think?  

Yeah i just checked them out, but ill read reviews of turbines pro before making any move.  Cheapest solution that im craving is fiio E5 with my Ety Hf2. Do you think thats gonna work with the bass without compromising highs and mids, coz when i change the EQ to bass booster on my iphone i...

Turbine pro seem to be out of my budget. I liked the bass of Tours it was deep, so essiently i want the same bass but with clarity idk if you got the idea of how much bass i want.

Monster pro seem to be high priced (above $200) Do you think it will be better to go for Fiio E5 and hf2? You guys are welcome to suggest any other iems with rich and clear sound with bass.  

Do you have any idea how turbines compare to tours by any chance?  I just googled monster outlet and turbines are there for $180, could you send me a link? Any other In ear headphones/monitors you know of that will provide clarity of HF2 with more bass?
