Thank you for the reply. Never heard about that brand. I will read some reviews and feedback on these.

Hi, I am looking for advice on IEMs with over-ear design in the range about 300 $-1000 $ with slightly recessed mids/vocals, with some extra bass/ sub bass and great separation and sound stage. Music I listen to: Power Metal and Melodic Death Metal My favorite headphones of all time (full...

Anyone tried the D5200, D7200 vs the D5000, D7000? Are they more similar than D5000/D7000 vs Emu Teak and TH-X00?

Hi, a few days ago a screw broke inside the hinge/joint on the left side. It seems like the rest of the screw is stuck inside the joint. Is it possible to find some replacement parts to exchange the broken parts? Is it any other possibility to fix problem? Which of the three Fostex...

If you like the Westone sound, I believe that 64 audio (u-series) is somewhat similar. I had Westone W4r (sold), W60 (broke, not good build quality) and now I have 64 U8. The U8 has a more bass heavy sound, so maybe U6 (have not heard them) would be more similar. Due to their Apex/Adel thing...

I use Denon AH-D5000 for metal. I consider them fun (and excellent) sounding. If you don`t find them used, Fostex Purpleheart are supposed to sound similar. They are somewhat above your suggested price.

Thank you for your replies! From other reviews, frequency curves and your comparison (in combination with my preferences) I think my first priority should be to get a 2. hand Dorado, and then later consider which of the other I should try if I`m not satisfied. Additional information: My...

Has anyone compared the Polaris to Dorado? I am concidering buying my first CA, at the moment I am leaning towards the Dorado, but I have also Polaris and Lyra II on my list.

It seems like Lyra II is something to read up on, but from what I read so far, it seems like the Dorado manages to be more detailed and seem to be an overall be a better performer. I am aware of the price difference. Would be harder to say no to Lyra II at a 500$ Massdrop price. I have never...

I have not heard of any place in Norway that sells Earsonics. I remember reading a lot about SM 64 back in the days. The S-EM9 is really pricey. VAT in Norway is also 25%, so you have to add that if they are bough from a webshop. From reviews the Dorado seem very promising. Do you know if...

Now I have bought the U8 Apex from 64 Audio. I have used them for two weeks or so. They are pleasant sounding IEMs, and their shape and built quality is really good. Better built quality than Westone, and better fit for me also. They are extremely sensitive, I can play at 5-10% on my ipod when...

  Does it have more treble response, or just more extension in hz? Do you know how the overall bass quantity is between these models?

How is the SQ on the Fostex Purpleheart vs. Denon AH-D5000 / AH-D7000?

Put them on your head, then you wont see the color difference!

Have anyone compared 64 Audio U8 with U4? I did not manage to find any comparison.   I was considering the U8 at the last Massdrop, but I could not afford them. Do anyone know if there will be a new 64 audio Massdrop?

Thank you for the reply. It seems that the price is, 250, in addition to 450, so the full Massdrop price is 700 $.   With shipping, VAT and handling fee of the Norwegian postal service the price I have to pay in total will be 707 * 1,25 + 20 = 904$. It will hurt my wallet, but maybe worth it...

Hello fellow headfiers!   When my Westone W60 broke (fell on the floor), I had to start looking for a new IEM. To date, the W60 are the best IEMs I have tried, with great instrument separation, huge soundstage and nice non-fatiguing smooth sound. However, they are actually not My favorite in...

  How is your whirl going?

  I am using Comply foam tips. I generally prefer foam, as they are more comfortable and isolate better. My favorite foams are the Shure foam, but they only fit narrow bore designs. I read that some people compared T20 with 4r in the mid-range, but it seems like the T20 has a lot more response...

Anyone know how the bass quantity of the T20 is compared to SoundMagic E10? I like the SQ of the E10, but IMO it could have a little stronger bass - sub bass and slightly more treble.   Is the T20 as forgiving to recordings as the westone W60/4R? I loved my W60 until it fell on the ground and...

What do you want to improve? More bass, less bass, tighter bass, less treble, soundstage, more V- og U-shaped sound, or more balanced sound? There can be many suggestions for 'upgrades', but if it does not take the sound in the direction you want, then it might not be an upgrade for you.

The difference between D5000 and D7000 is not very big. The difference going from D2000 and up to D5000 is worth it! My opinion is that the D5000 up to D7000 is not worth it, but if your wallet is big enough it may be worth it. I currently own the D5000 and have listened to D5000/D2000/D7000 in...

Hi fellow head-fiers, today I received a pair of Velvets bought second hand (so don`t suggest more burn-in). But they were not as good match for me as I anticipated.   My prevous 'expensive' IEMs were the Westone W60, which I enjoyed until it dropped on the ground and broke (less volume and...

Then there are only metal, plastic and carbon composite editions left?

Which of the three models have the most V or U shaped sound?
