By the time I saw the deal on Amazon it was to late and they were all sold out.    I just bought a cheap pair of ear buds to get me through till Christmas and they really made me miss my ER-6's.   

So I'm thinking about asking for a pair of Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Noise Isolating Earphones for Christmas this year and had a few questions for people who have used them.   1. How is the fit of the headphones? 2. Would I need or would you suggest using a headphone amp for them? 3. Are...

Thanks for the suggestion.   I care more about sound quality than actual noise isolation.

So I'm looking for some new IEM's under $120. I listen to a lot of punk/rock style music so nothing to bassy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. As of right now I am looking at (in no particular order) 1. Head-Direct RE-0 2. Ultimate Ears Super fi. 3 Studio 3. Sennheiser IE6 4...

As of right now I am looking at (in no particular order) 1. Head-Direct RE0 2. Ultimate Ears Super fi. 3 Studio 3. Sennheiser IE6 4. Etymotic HF5

So i just broke my Etymotic Research ER6i's today (wire got caught on door handle and ripped off right earbud).  Now I'm looking for a new pair and was wondering if i should stick with the ER6's or get something new. I am looking at the Head-Direct RE0's and a couple of other pairs but am...

I just bought some Etymotic ER6i off of amazon and a friend suggested that i should get a headphone amp as well....First off what does a headphone amp exactly do and should i get one for my new phones?

wow didnt expect the RE0 would get this much love.....glad i got this suggested before i decided to buy....thanks everyone

i havent been getting much positive feed back about UE's.....are they really that bad compared to everything else

Ok I've narrowed down my choices for IEM's between HEAD-DIRECT RE0, Etymotic ER6i and Ultimate Ears SuperFi 3 Studio and I dont know which to choose. I listen to a lot of rock/punk music and I'm not a bass junkie. Which of these do you recommend?

I now have a recommendation to get teh Head-direct RE0 .....anyone have experience with these and would suggest these too??

thanks...looked them over and they are possibilities....still looking though....hope to make a decision soon

thanks for all the advice

i really dont care if its a headset....im just looking for a decent pair of earphones with decent sound quality for my style of music and a good comfortable fit

I'm looking to buy a decent pair of canalphones for my Iphone but really can't decide which ones to get. Im torn between Ultimate Ears, Shure and Etymotic but cant decide which ones to buy. 1. I'm willing to spend between $75-$115 2. Looking for a set that is good with listening to rock/punk...
