    Value: Fischer DBA-02 MKII, VSonic GR07, ATH-CK10, UE TF10?

    Thanks for all of the responses.  It seems like the GR07 is the overwhelming favourite, as well as the TF10.  I'll do some checking in to he R-50, haven't heard about them before.   I only really added the TF10s to the list because their price seems to be drastically reduced from what it was...

    It's not that I don't like bright signatures, I just liked the overall sound of the X10.  Having said that, I did love my Q-Jays too, and those were definitely bright to my ears.  I guess the problem I have when I read people's comparisons, is that I haven't tried a lot of IEMs (more than the...

    Thanks.  I should have also added the IE8 as I may be able to get a pair of those for £120.  So many threads on the IE8 and TF10, have to narrow down the useful ones.

    Hi,   Sorry for another vs. vs. vs. thread.   I am looking for a new pair of IEMs, my short history:   Q-Jays:  £60 - eBay Pros:  Loved the detail, and the fit.  Sound signature took some getting used to, but I missed it when it was gone. Cons:  Cable lengths didn't work for me...

    Q-Jays starting to go, looking for something new.

    Right, thanks.  The wire does feel a little fragile.   I'm super pleased so far.  Very warm, great detail, good for all kinds of music.

    Q-Jays starting to go, looking for something new.

    Well, I always really wanted the Klipsch X10 but thought they were too expensive.   I found them on sale on amazon.co.uk (the X10, not the X10i), on sale for £126.   So I went with those.  Thanks for your feedback everyone.

    Q-Jays starting to go, looking for something new.

    I was always under the impression that the PFE was a slight upgrade to the Q-Jays.  From what I've read, they have all of the good characteristics of the Q-Jays sound signature but with a touch more bass.   The reason I'm not totally jumping on the PFE bandwagon is that I prefer IEMs that...

    Q-Jays starting to go, looking for something new.

    Hi,   I bought a pair of Q-Jays last year and the left headphone is starting to crap out.  Unfortunately, I bought them off eBay from a private seller and have no receipt so I can't really follow up on the warranty.  They were only £60 so I don't feel that bad.   So, I'm looking for...

    Are the RE-0s a must buy at the $99 price point?

    Maybe I'll give them a whirl. Though, I really want to try the AT CKS70 which are about the same price.

    Duplicate post. Sorry, don't know why it did that.

    Are the RE-0s a must buy at the $99 price point?

    I was wondering the same thing. I have been looking for a pair of phones lately, and the love the RE-0 has received obviously piqued my interest. My main concerns were: Build quality - too many stories of split casings. Impedance - Seems too high (/low?) and I'm not sure how loud they'll be...

    Balanced armature vs dynamic

    Are the UE Super.fi.5 EB the only ones that have 1 BA+1 Dynamic? The wiki article that was linked made it sound like there were a few out there. It sounds so intriguing. What does the size of the driver (dynamic) have to do with the sound? I ask because I'm so curious about the AT CKS70...

    Q-Jays...talk me out of them.

    Thank you everyone for your input. I've decided to just take the plunge. In the end, it was always going to be about what I think of them once I've heard them. Part of the reason I was so willing to jump in now is that I got a very good deal on eBay. £58 including shipping for a brand new...

    Recommend an in-ear headphone for me :)

    There are a lot of very favourable reviews out there for the price you are looking at: UE 700 Q-Jays Audeo Phonak (though they are so overpriced in the UK that it's almost not worth it based on principle alone) Atrios M5 Sleek Audio SA6 For under £100 there's also the RE-0 which...

    Quote: Originally Posted by digivate True, I prefer earphones with more bass impact than the q-Jays, but I don't think they deliver repesentation either. They're too clipped and have absolutely no delay, so they sound artificial with no atmosphere. 90% of the time I listen to...

    Wow. that's the first bad thing I've seen written about them on these boards. I was under the impression that they were some of the best out there, and many comparisons were being made between these and IEMs that are 50% more expensive.

    Q-Jays...talk me out of them.

    I forgot to add. Another similarly priced IEM is the Sleek Audio SA6 (about £110). for comparison, I've seen a lot of threads comparing the Q-Jays and the UE 700. The UE 700 is about £140 over here. From the reviews they sound a bit better to me, but definately not £40 better.

    Hi. I listen to a lot of different styles of music; folk, rock, metal, rap, jazz, some classical, but not that much. I use an Apple iPod 5th Gen? (1st video iPod) and I mostly listen to music on the commute to work. I used to have a pair of Sure E4c, but the left channel cut out...
