I realize that I'll probably never find IEMs that have a big, open sound (without spending thousands of dollars), but I'll be happy with some that have similar frequency response to the KSC75s. Now I'm not sure if I should get more IEMs or just hang on to my ER-6i's and look for some nice...

Thanks for the info. ir_toast: I see you also have the Koss KSC75s. Do any of the IEMs mentioned thus far compare to those? I love those things...   Thanks

I prefer true sound over warm sound. My ER-6i's aren't broken or anything, I'm just looking for something new and wondering how the HF2/3/5s stack up against them.   Thanks

I've been using my ER-6i IEMs for a while now, & now I'm looking to replace them. I combed through the reviews, & it looks like the HF2/3/5 IEMs might be the way to go. Has anyone here heard both? How do they compare?   Thanks

I know I'll be happy with them, but I was just wondering if anything better had come along. Guess not. I gave the Kramer mod a try when he first created it, but they turned out a little too bright so I gave that pair to my cousin and picked up another pair. Since I have an extra pair of...

I haven't been here in a while. I used the KSC75's for about four years and really enjoyed them, but when one channel suddenly stopped working a couple of weeks ago the engineer inside me attempted to repair them. I think the problem was a short near the voice coil, but when I realized they were...

Has anyone tried it? I tried searching for an impedance graph of the ER6i's online so I could predict the effects of adding a 75ohm resistor, but I couldn't find one.

thanks for all of the advice. i decided to buy chronicali's old er6i's, and they should be here early next week. i'll probably post a comparison to my modded shure e2's.

i'm thinking about going with the er6i's and doing the custom tip mod. any objections before i buy? thanks

are there any iem's out there that can be considered the ksc75's of the iem world? i just want some good sound with isolation at a good price. thanks

yes, a comparison the ksc75s would be nice

...at a decent price? What do you recommend? They will be unamped coming straight out of my iPod touch.

any update on this mod? i just picked up a couple of these from radioshack and i'm thinking about modding one of them.

i just picked up two pairs from radioshack for less than $12

Has this thread helped anyone?

Last night I decided to have a quick listen with my Zen Micro. When I plugged my KSC75's into the Micro, I noticed there was a slight clicking noise. I wiggled the plug around inside the jack and the sound repeatedly went from mono to stereo. At first I suspected that the KSC75's were the...

I was just wondering if my sound quality would increse if I ipped with the latest LAME encoder. Right now I am using 3.92, should I upgrade to 3.96.1 or 3.97b1? Thanx

I have been setting my volume to 23/25, which makes the music from my Micro play at about the same volume as the cd player or radio. I'll probably reduce the volume to 21 to reduce noise though. Even with the volume at 25/25, I never notice any clipping. What does clippind sound like?

Is anyone here using a Zen Micro with an aux-ix jack or a tape adapter? If so, at what volume are you putting your Micro on while you listen? I'm trying to find out which level will give me the loudest sound without sacrificing audio quality. Thanx
