From high-res photos on the net, the JH looks to have a non-braided section beside the memory wire, so no luck in cutting off the sleeve/wire there.

I have experienced quite a few types of IEM cables but none have been better than the cable that comes with the old Westone series (1, 2, 3, and 4). A list of advantages of those cables: Medium thickness and braided design prevents tangling Y-split, earphone entry, and jack entry all have...

I am in North America. JH is in Florida and I believe Noble is in the states as well?

I have checked that page out - that's why the Noble 3C and JH5 are on my list. Just looking for opinions from those who may have tried multiple IEMS around this price range or have had a very nice experience with one.

Hello all, I'm looking into my first pair of customs at a budget of ~$500. Currently I own: UE 700 - TWFK armatures, lacking bass extension and mids to me Westone 2 - lacking bass extension and body to me I like a very slightly V-shaped response and easy to drive IEMs because I don't want to...

TF10 tips are very different from UE700 tips, entirely derivative in terms of structure. Also, I do wear my MTPC over-ear and at least for me they have a shallow-ish seal (even tested maximum insertion depth with no tips on!)

Ah! Makes sense. I liked the Hybrids but for their lack of isolation, and stuffing foam in them probably helps. "Deep" insertion for the MTPC still isn't very deep though - I find my UE700s go in a LOT further due to their tiny, tiny shells. When the MTPC housing touches the rim of one's ear...

So, I just got a pair of Turbine Coppers and I've experimented a bit with tips. I am a fan of sound quality, but spending ~1.5 hours on public transit each day makes isolation and comfort paramount. What I tried: Gel Supertips - Do not conform to ear canals. Achieved seals are temporary at...

What IEMs or headphones are you using with your NS?

Go to voodoo and map volume keys directly to analog amplifier. Tick anti-jitter, hi-fi play, and DAC direct The end result of all that is minimizing any digital manipulation of the signal - I find it really helps to bring out the extreme frequencies (sub-bass and high treble) and significantly...

Can anyone who owns the westone 2 / um2 comment on their bass? Also bass on the ck10... In comparison to the ue700 if possible

I'm currently using a pair of UE700s. What I like: - clarity - isolation - tiny size / comfort - silicone (not unbearable foam) tips What I don't like: - no sub-bass "thump" - no bass decay - questionable build Searching for a replacement that keeps the pluses and fixes the minuses. I'm...

It was a Moblicity special at Rizvi Electronics in Toronto. Some crazy plans too - $17.50 per month for unlimited talk/text/data.  I really can't believe how good the sound is out of this though. It's a phone!

Got a Nexus S a few days ago (for $280 CAD unlocked/new!). Stock sound was horrible.   The first problem was that the lowest volume setting wasn't anywhere near low enough - Using my UE700s my ears hurt from the volume after a minute or so.  The second problem was massive hissing. Stock...

bump?

The SRH440s are a little heavy and hot after a while though, do the 840s improve on that significantly?

Hi guys, I'm looking for a pair of comfortable cans for home listening, preferably at least semi-closed because there's going to be background noise. They have to be VERY comfortable, because I wear glasses and significant pressure aches after a while. Currently I'm using SRH440s unamped, and...
