They were a gift and the I the midrange dip is not something I could live with. To be clear they were new when I got them. They probably have 2-3 hours on the them.

I've been a strict IEM/CIEM for a good 6 years.  I just got the HiFiMan he-500 recently, and I just seem to be having a really hard time adjusting to the new sound.  It doesn't seem nearly as bright or alive as my CIEM's.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Was able to hear a well used Predator a few days ago using my JH 16's, it sounded magnificent.  Went ahead and got one, and while the imaging for the mid/high is extraordinary, the low-end is incredibly muddy, I can barely make anything out in those frequencies, and it it doesn't seem to be...

Just got my JH16's w/freqphase a few weeks ago.  They are really great, but trance just sounds terrible on them.  Is there anything I can do to make them sound better?   I'm using an Audioengine D1 and it makes things marginally better.  98% of my collection is 320 or FLAC, the other 2% is...

I only ask because I recently got the 16 pro's, and shortly after tested the LCD-2's.  I was expecting angels to purr into my ear after hearing all the great reviews on the LCD-2's, but I was left wanting.  Don't get me wrong, they were good, borderline really good, but nowhere near amazing...

I wish I was a true audiophile like some of you guys so I could tell you what exactly is wrong.   I've had these puppies on for a half-hour now.  They fit great.  No sibilance issues, except for one track which is widely known to have been poorly mastered. The low-end is great, albeit...

...likes of Hybrid, Above & Beyond, Mat Zo, Hecq, Eco, Amon Tombin, lots of progressive --as defined by the community at large not beatport-- & deep house.   I got the molds & money ready.  I just want to make sure I'm making the right decision here.   Upgrading from the Shure Se535's...

The computer is fantastic, but it does an absolute **** job of driving my Shure SE 535's, and the sound quality is notably worse than previous macbook pro's.  It's so bad, that my iPhone 4 can drive those iem's better than the mbp.  Anyone else experiencing this problem?

  Sorry for the n00b post.  I've seen a few threads similar to mine, but my tastes vary a little from other users.   I've had the Shure se530's and 535's for 5 years now.  They've been amazing, truly stunning for electronic music, but I'm ready to upgrade to big boy headphones.  Looking...

I've been a loyal user of the Shure SE 530's for the past 3 years and I've genuinely enjoyed my ride with them, but I feel it is time to move from in-ear monitors to a fuller sized headphone that can create some bigger bass. I listen to mostly trance/prog house and classical and am looking to...
