I've been messing about with IEM's for around eight months now, and I want to give full size cans a try.  I just got a pair of HE400's.     I've read a lot about their sound signature and based on that, I think I want to give the 650's a shot.  Coming from IEM's though, I really want to take...

I apologize for posting this in two different forums, but I figured I may get additional expertise in the IEM forum on the IEm side of things here.    OK, so I think I want to give some full size or portable cans a try. But here's the thing. My main source will be an iPod Classic 7th gen. I...

     OK, so I think I want to give some full size cans a try.  But here's the thing.  My main source will be an iPod Classic 7th gen.  I do have a Fiio E11, but nothing better for an amp.  I like a large spacious soundstage, and on the warm/bassy side of neutral.  Not too much extra bass, but...

OK, so I have this O.C.D. thing where I tap on the shells of IEMS right after I put them in.  Well, I lightly tap, then snap my fingers outside my ears so I know I have a good seal.  Not too crazy, right? Anyway.  I currently have in my possession a pair of SM3 v2's.  When I put them in and tap...

I'm stuck with an iPod classic for now.  I have a pair of Heir 4.Ai, and I want a bit more bass.  Since EQ on the iPod is not an option, what should I go for?  I have the E11, but it's noise floor seems a bit high with the Heirs.  I feel like it was lower with the w4R, but about the same with...

I know there are tons of comparisons of these, but I have a couple specific questions.  I'm new to IEMs and I have just recently purchased: Westone W4r, Heir 4.ai, phonak 232, sennheiser IE80, UE 900 and Hifiman 262.  I know, big initial outlay, but I got a couple from places that will take...

When I got my speakers a couple years ago, I read a LOT of reviews on forums, online magazines, etc.   I also demoed five pairs in my home, and countless others in various stores.  I drove an hour away sometimes to hear a particular speaker.  With IEM's it doesn't seem to be that easy. I used a...

I have no experience with high-ish end IEM's.  From all the reviews I've read, it seems that I've narrowed my next purchase down to the GR07 and the RE-262.  I know they are very different, but the two sound signatures both sound alluring to me.  I am however worried about sibilance in the GR07...

     I know, I know.  It gets asked a lot: what are the best IEM's for $175 or less?  Like that's easy to answer.  But,  I have read almost the entire 250 review thread.  Here's the deal.  I do a lot of listening in bed.  I like to lay on my back AND side.  I've narrowed it down, I think, to the...
