Hi guys,   Thanks for your responses.    I bought the DT770pro. Very happy with the SQ. It is a lot more comfortable than the ATH M50. There is a tiny annoyance that it does not have removable cables. Makes carrying it an absolute PITA (as it tangles with other cables in my backpack). I have...

I decided to go for the DT770 pro 80. Will be pairing that with a Fiio E11k to drive it with my SGS4, iPhone 6 and MBP.    With the ATH m50, I think it was the fact that the whole weight of the set rested on my jaws for some reason. That may have been the cause for the discomfort.    For...

Bump 

Hi guys,   I am finally succumbing to the "earning" I've been having for the past couple of weeks to buy some full sized cans. I primarily use my UE900s everywhere, however, as awesome as they are, they don't have the power and immersive-ness of a big-ass set of cans.   I have a pair of...

No one?

Hi guys,   Just got my UE-900 yesterday! :) Freakin' brilliant pair of IEMs. Love the signature.   Never really got into the whole "over-the-ear" style of wearing IEMs. These seem to allow only that style of wearing. This gets a bit annoying as it takes a fair bit of tinkering around to...

Quote: Mate you're an absolute legend. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me. Now that I have some options I'll do further research and report back on what I've finally chosen. :)    Thanks again. Wish there was a rep system here.

Quote:   Any more suggestions folks? Still really keen on the iphone controls. :( 

I haven't tried the XBA-3, but I did have the Yamaha EPH-100SL. It is an IEM that is warm, with decent soundstage and fairly powerful and tight lows. The one major con (in my experience) has been the peculiar shape of the inserts. Since it is cylindrical, rather than conical like most IEMs, they...

Quote: Sweet! Thanks a ton mate.    The iphone controls are a must have as I will be using these while commuting. I'm more than happy spending some decent $$ for a pair that I'll truly like. Sadly, local retailers here price-gouge the crap out of you if you're into audio-gear (and most...

Hi folks,   Have been doing a fair bit of research on getting a pair of IEMs that meets my needs. Have tried a few but am yet to find a suitable pair…     1. RE-0 : By far the best IEM that I've tried. Loved the punchy tight bass and the feeling of open-ness. Sounded pretty crap out of...

Thanks a ton mate! I'll try and see if I can get it from the US as they are priced at a 100% markup in Aus (a whopping $300).     

Thanks a lot mate. Just a quick clarification, are the headphones listed in your first post significantly better than the ones listed in your post above? If they are, then I'd rather save up and buy a better pair. :)

Thanks a lot mate!    Most of these (except for the senns) are way over my budget at present (~$250 mark in Australian stores; headphones.com.au and ebay). Perhaps, I should save up a bit more and go for one in the list, or will I be able to find it elsewhere for cheaper?  

Hi folks,   I've been "lurker" for quite a while and have been simply spell-bound by the wealth of knowledge and experience of most of the members here. Thanks to Head-fi I got myself a pair of RE-0 IEMs that I absolutely love. However, my gf lost the splendid beauties along with my Fiio amp...
