Recently I've been keeping the following IEMs in my rotation: * UM 3DT (favorites) * CFA Andromeda * Noble x Drop K10 * ThieAudio Clairvoyance I honestly love all of them. But it does make me feel that I'm kind of 'done' with BA/hybrid type IEMs. These cover everything I love. The only thing...

I've been alternating between these two; the K10s have more body overall, while the presentation of the SF8 may just be a bit more to my liking. Is there somewhere a unicorn that's a more full-bodied SF8F perhaps? Thanks for any recs! Source: Phone, Spotify, highest quality, DragonFly Red...

The music styles I like require punchy/dynamic sounds (Technical metal genres... or Chanson Francaise), but it turns out I am NOT a basshead. I got them on the cheap and figured, even though I knew they were bassy, they couldn't be all THAT much. But they are. Oh they are so, so much. I...

I have narrow ear canals., which has so far meant I can fit neither: * IEMs: typical IEMs will never get me a seal. no matter the tip or material used. I have tried A TON (non-exhaustive list: Massdrop Plus and EDC3, Campfire Audio Lyra II, Polaris II, and Atlas, iBasso IT01s, Ultimate Ears...

I got the SuperBax cable with my InEarz Euphoria, and they also work with my UltimateEars UE7s. The cable is AMAZING for those like me who have glasses! I don't plan on collecting cables; I'd like to procure a third CIEM that'd be somewhat in the middle of my two pairs, but I'd much rather use...

I recently got two pairs of CIEMs: * Ultimate Ears 7: great shallow fit, good technically, narrower soundstage and recessed bass * InEarz Euphoria: deeper fit, but similar seal. Better isolation but that wasn't lacking with the UEs. Great soundstage and presentation, recessed treble and very...

For the longest time I've had fit issues with Universals. I always suspected mis-matched ear-canals, with the lefty one being narrower. I tried to find tips that'd work, but the only ones giving me fit and seal were Westone's, and therefore the only IEMs that'd work for me are those with a...

I'm selling all my IEM collection in preparation for a couple of Customs to arrive (Ultimate Ears Pro 7s and InEarz Euphoria). I'd like to keep one set of Universals but due to fit issues, I can only get IEMs with a narrow bore. I currently have the Westone W20s and Massdrop x NuForce EDC3s...

I'm about to get my impressions done, and I want to start thinking about Custom in-ears. I'm not willing to spend a fortune; definitely sub 1k USD, most-likely sub 600. I'd like a pair with good fit for heavy music; good instrument clarity, great mids for those vocals and guitar tones, and...

I'm trying to achieve end-game for my travel setup, and I realized that my choice is fairly limited overall due to: * No lossless/hi-res; I prefer to stay under $600 to avoid unpleasant source-caused surprises * My left ear canal is too small and typical IEMs don't fit Over the past few months...

Currently my Echo dot outputs to a pair of JBL305s through its 3.5mm analog output. It's not ideal. I'd like to improve on this as I have several DACs here and there which would be a good upgrade. I could either go with a BT receiver, and then DAC line-out -> powered speakers, or go straight...

(I also posted this on Massdrop) I received the Quattro II today and tested it on two PCs: a) my laptop w/dock at work, where it replaced a Topping D50 + Schiit magni3. This unit is definitely an improvement here, the whole sound felt wider and more expansive. I really enjoyed it. This was...

I'd like to carry my Noble x Massdrop, a USB OTG Cable, and an Audioquest DragonFly Red DAC/Amp in a single box. Currently I put all three in the typical small case you get with Westone/Massdrop Plus IEMs, but it's a little small. The 1010, by comparison, is way too big. Something just a...

I recently got some IT01s which are fun to listen to, but a little large for my ears and not the best at note separation, which is expected for the price :) I'm pondering an upgrade, with an emphasis on fun vs. analytical sound signatures, for guitar-based music and high-quality encoding files...

Both are $199 on Amazon right now, and well, I liked what I read on reviews for both! It seems the Primo8's focus is on the mids, which fits my guitar-driven music tastes. But the HEM4 appears more versatile overall. I listen mostly to technical Death Metal styles these days: and while I don't...

I just got back into the IEMs game with some iBasso IT01s. They sound very good as far as I can tell so far, but they're a constant reminder that I never seem to find tips I enjoy (my ear-canal on the left ear is MUCH narrower than the right. Foams have never suited me, and silicon is too...

I've been out of the IEM/headphone game for several years, using mostly Audio Technica M50s at home and in the office (through a Schiit DAC Jotunheim and Schiit Magn3/Bifrost respectively), and Sony MDR-1000Xs when flying. I love the Sonys; they can plug into the in-flight entertainment system...

I currently have a PC going through a Focusrite Scarlet 2i4, themselves connected to (... don't laugh) a pair of Rokit5 G3s. The Focusrite sounds fine, but I don't think my PC likes it... It sometimes just cuts-off, and I have to disable/re-enable it and restart whatever audio software I have...

I have two pairs of Audio Technica M50s (work + home) and two of the ESW9s (don't ask!). They are the sound I enjoy and I've not really been looking to upgrade. I've used a variety of headphones for travel; most often the V-Moda M100s (super nice but stop being comfortable after 5+hours), the...

Nothing a bit of glue couldn't fix, thankfully! Anyway I remember a few months back when I first heard the ESW9s... I'd JUST gotten some Beyer T51s to replace my Moda M100s, and some ATH-MSR7s for the office. I decided to give the ESW9 a chance anyway and I was blown away.   They've been my...

I had to drop the M100s for a while and used the HD25s daily for a couple of months. I missed the comfort of the M100s so I reverted... but now I miss the clarity and treble accuracy of the HD25s! I also have a pair of M50s at home for my PC, which are very, very 'gentle' sounding. Very soft in...

I have an old J3 but it's getting tight on space... Got the 16GB version with a 32GB card; I don't think it supports higher capacity cards, does it?   There's a few things I love about the player: *Battery life is amazing and this is a huge criteria for me *I have a custom UI on the music...

Having moved into a multi-room apartment, I find myself wishing for a more comprehensive sound system which would allow me to stream to multiple speaker sets. Currently my bedroom has: Modi2->Magni2-> Rokit 5 G3s I control them with MediaMonkey, and my music is basically on shuffle whenever I...

For the very first time in my existence, I am facing thin walls, and my neighbor has shown at least once in the three days I've been here to be unappreciative of my 24/7 music playing (er... not quite, but close). I have no issues with this: if my music is too loud, I turn it down, and it's my...
