I also get occasional crackling in my RE0s, and I'm starting to wonder if it's the headphones themselves... I have plenty of other higher end headphones that I've used on the same source and equipment, so I'm pretty sure that its not them. Does this mean that theyre damaged, or are they just not...

I'm really confused... why do people say these lack bass? Without an amp or burn in, they seem to have just as much bass as my old superfi 5 pros, which were recommended to me years ago because of their bass. I can only imagine what so called "bass heavy" IEMs like the Panasonic sound like...

Wow... just got mine today after vacillating for months on how to replace my SF5Ps. I'm pretty floored. Out of the box I think they sound pretty great. I definitely was not expecting this... for some reason I was expecting them to sound cold and bassless... kind of like the ER6i Btw, using UE...

I'm assuming most people have never heard the UE700... they don't seem to be very popular on the boards.

I read that the re0 gets about 15-20 db of isolation. The sf5p was supposed to get 26, but I don't think I ever came close to that. Had no idea the IE7 was open... that's a shame...

Also, I've always been a huge senn fanboy, and I've always been tempted by the IE7, but they're a bit out of my pricerange... love to get my hands on them if I could find them for a lot cheaper.

Alright guys, a recap: I broke my UE SF5Ps in December when the cable housing ripped out of the socket and took some wires with it. It was the second time it had happened, although the last time was about 3 years ago. Obviously, they're out of warranty so I've been looking for a replacement. I...

this is a serious design flaw... i've had this happen twice with my SF5Ps

can anyone compare the isolation of the re0s compared with the isolation from the superfi/triplefi body style?

Wow thanks for the tip... I didnt even consider the 700. It looks really nice and very comfortable, but its a bit out of my price range. I think I might just got with the RE0 for the price... no one has said anything bad about them, and they have VERY positive reviews. I am a little concerned...

Thanks for the comparisons. I guess I may just end up experimenting and going with whatever is cheapest. I'm wondering if SQ past a certain point on portables is really that important to me anyways... I only use IEMs if I'm on the go, and I almost never used my SF5Ps at home anyways... much...

read some more reviews... now i'm between the RE0, S4, and the HF5s again. Has anyone compared these to the SF 5 pros before?

anyone?

can someone compare the super.fi 5 pros to the RE0?

It seems like my search has led me to the RE0 and the Fischer Audio Eterna. Two questions... where on earth do you buy Fischers? I can't seem to find them anywhere. Also, the website for the RE0 looks really sketchy... head-direct.com. Is this the right website?

HELLOOOOOO HEAD-FI! it has been far too long. I have resisted your evil temptations, but like an addict, I always come crawling back for more. It's been about 3 or 4 years since I've been active on these threads... But today's emergency calls for extreme measures. My super.fi 5 Pros were...

i have to just chime in on this... i just moved from an old toshiba to the macbook, and although my nitpickiness is not nearly what it used to be, i must say that the new macbook sounds astonishingly good for a laptop! I have so far tried powering my hd580s and creative t20 speakers both unamped...

i've been away from home all summer, and the SR80 has been my primary headphone now for about 6 months. I almost forgot about my beloved senns, as they have been boxed in my closet for a long time now. on a whim, i plugged them in again, and it was like greeting an old friend. I had forgotten...

i know, but that still doesn't change the fact that the 497 and px100 are amazing for what they cost.

why was i not told about this??? you guys better do it again soon!

i must admit, i am a massive senny fanboy. my first headfi purchase was a pair of HD497s, and they have served me faithfully for almost 3 years. i also own a pair of px100s, and together, these two headphones have gotten far more use than either my ue superfi 5 pros or my ksc75s. last week, i...

haha i guess i forgot to state the obvious, i am mating these with a modded HD580

i know, but i'll need a DAC bc my laptop is utter crap, so it comes out to be more than the bithead. also, i have a small desk and i'm trying to reduce desk clutter. has anyone heard either of these combos, or something similar?

i guess i have it down to these two choices: total bithead or alien DAC -> go vibe 6
