Hello - I had a pair of the original 1RBT headphones, and then gave them to my father, who loves them.  As much as I like my PSB M4U2's, wireless is just so much better for how I use my headphones.   The original 1RBT's have come down considerably in price, thankfully.  The Mk2's appear only...

This may be an odd question, but I'm looking an IEM to complement the ES5 I currently have.  The sound of the ES5 is spectacular, but perhaps a bit too refined (and too smooth in the treble).  Plus, and this may banish me from the site, I really find iDevice remote controls on the cable to be...

I realize that there are some comments re. these headphones in the big MDR-1R thread, but is anyone aware of a good, detailed review of these headphones?  Or, if you have them, I'd be interested in your impressions.  I recognize that the compression inherent in sending audio through bluetooth...

This is a somewhat odd question, so I hope somebody much more technically adept than I can answer it.  I am completely deaf in one ear and want to wire an adapter cable so that it takes a stereo signal from a 1/4" jack out of a headphone amp and converts it into a mono signal at the other...

Does anyone know of a high-end headphone amp that has a "mono" switch (i.e., that will combine both channels before outputting to the headphone jack)?  I recall seeing one somewhere on this site, but can't seem to find it again, and I wasn't having much luck searching this forum (but I may not...

The searches I've run in the Forums identify J&R and B&H as places to see a lot of the higher-end headphone on display.  I'm interested in finding a place in NYC (Manhattan, ideally) that will allow me to listen to different models under proper conditions (i.e., a proper headphone amp).  Any...

All - I've read just about every thread/post I could find on the Forum on the T5p, and what I'm trying to determine is whether it can be driven "well" by an iPhone 4S.  My point of comparison is the Senneheiser Momentum (primarily because of its comfort, and also because it appears to be one of...

I've been listening to my ES5, comparing it to other headphones, and the question I have is whether the treble in the unit is off (and if so, how can you tell?).  The bass and mids of the ES5 are wonderful, but the treble strikes me as fairly recessed.  The detail of the treble is very nice, and...

All - I've enjoyed this site tremendously, and it led me to the purchase of my Westone ES5.  I went with a custom IEM because I've been completely deaf in one ear since birth.  I could get a single IEM with a custom-cable that combined both channels, so I saved quite a bit of money.  As much as...

I have a custom IEM (Westone ES series) that, for reasons having to do with the iPhone's software, was subjected to a couple of very brief (1 second or so) but very loud bursts of music. (I've now learned how to avoid this, but it took it happening a couple of times for me to learn...)...

I have a Westone ES5 and would like to find a replacement cable that terminates in a straight 3.5mm jack that has a thin casing.  The right-angle jack on the stock cables don't really work with most iphone cases, and I'm currently using a very short extension cable to get it all to work.  ...

Hello - I'm new to this forum but have been reading it for a while.  I recently received a Westone ES5, which was fitted by my audiologist.  I'm partially deaf and wanted something that would cut down on ambient noise as much as possible so I would not need to turn up the volume much.   My...
