    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Got the Sennheiser MTW. Really like them. Previously bought the Jabra Elite 65T Active but returned them as they were not comfortable to me and hurt my ears after a while. These are definitely much more comfortable (but still not perfect) and they sound notably better from what I recall of the...

    Sony MDR-1000X

    Any word on whether the 1000X Mark II's will improve on the creaking that a lot of users have? Can't tell if they changed the materials at all but the mechanism looks the same which gives me a little worry. Also anyone know yet whether these will be able to connect the two devices at once...

    New Sennheiser Momentum In ear

    I got these over the weekend. At first I found the bass overwhelming but after 30-40 hours of burn in they sound pretty damn good. A lot more fun sounding than my Shure SE215's. The high-end is better on these as is the low-end. I think the SE215's have the better mid-range though - they sound...

    New Sennheiser Momentum In ear

    Just curious if anyone would be able to compare these to the Shure SE215's sound-wise and comfort-wise?    I have both the Momentum Over-Ear, which I think are fantastic, and the Shure SE215's which I also like quite a bit but wouldn't mind getting these for the iOS/headset functionality...

    Looking for Sennheiser Momentum sound in IEM form

      Hi Hanseivan,   I settled on the SE215's. I actually prefer them to the hf3's but definitely prefer the Momentum's over the SE215. That said if I were to lose the SE's I'd probably just get them again unless I could demo some other sets to make sure they are to my liking. For $99 I don't...

    Review by 'starlan' on item 'Shure SE215'

    Bought those as a portable go-to set (subway use, airplanes, travelling, etc.) and am so far very pleased. I previously used Etymotic IEM's (ER-4P and HF3) which are known for their clarity and brightness but also lacking in warmth and bass impact. However, after loving the sound of my new...

    Looking for Sennheiser Momentum sound in IEM form

    I picked up a pair of the black SE215's yesterday. Main reasons for going for it were: known brand with good customer service, replaceable cables, and the fact that I was able to demo them to make sure they are to my liking.    Overall impressions are positive and these appear great value for...

    Looking for Sennheiser Momentum sound in IEM form

    Thanks for your reply Julian. and I appreciate your comments on the dynamic drivers. Funnily enough I've got a friend at work who's got the Shure SE215's so I just gave them a spin. Honestly, I was quite impressed actually. The bass doesn't sound as tight as it does on my Momentum's (though it...

    Looking for Sennheiser Momentum sound in IEM form

    No opinions? So I've put my HF3’s up for sale. Let's see if they go for an acceptable price. I'm curious about these GR07' Bass Editions vs the HF3's. Any comparisons? I'm looking for more bass and a fuller and warmer sound than I get from my highly detailed, analytical but no-impact HF3's...

    Looking for Sennheiser Momentum sound in IEM form

    I've been a long-time Etymotic IEM user. Have had the ER-4P's and the hf3's and like both. Still do. They are high quality headphones to be sure. Partly out of boredom to try something new and partly to get a nice pair of over-ear headphones I picked up a set of Sennheiser Momentum's. I liked...

    Reply to review by 'starlan' on item 'Sennheiser MOMENTUM'

    Yes I've read comments that the Momentum's don't work well with large ears. They're fine on me. I also got a pair of V-Moda M-100’s to try but returned those. They were less comfortable to me, much heavier on the head but mostly I did not love the sound quality. It wasn't that the sound is bad...

    Review by 'starlan' on item 'Sennheiser MOMENTUM'

    Have had these for just under a week with easily 40 hours use already. The sound is to my ears and tastes; nearly perfect. In fact I would call it perfect but I just don't know what that may be. Regardless, these things have an incredibly balanced profile. Think adequate but not overpowering...

    V-Moda M100's louder than Sennheiser Momentum's

    So I got the Momentum's last week and they sound superb. Balanced and I love the build and they actually fit me very well so no issues there, they are ultra-comfortable.   However, being really curious about the V-Moda's M100's and not being able to find a single place in Toronto that carries...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    I think the ER-4P's are going up for sale. I've been using the hf3‘s quite a bit the last few days and they are most satisfying. I have also further A/B'd the 2 and I seem to prefer the hf3 's sound over the 4P's in more situations for the type of music I listen to more regularly. The notable...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    Update. So I got the hf3's today. Firstly on the headphones themselves. They seem well built, I still like the large triple flange eartips that I've gotten very used to on the ER-4P best and will be sticking with these. I find the ER-4P's easier to insert due to the longer stem. The hf3's...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    Thanks again everyone. I find my ER4P's sound pretty damn good out of all of my devices (iPhone, iPad, laptops). My first decent set of earphones were the Shure E2C's but the cable gave away in those after a year or so and I moved up to the Ety's and they sounded much much better to me and still...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    Great information from everyone here, many thanks for the info.   I have a few more questions:   How is the build quality on the hf3? I have read a few reviews (mostly on Amazon) that seem to point this out to be an issue? Is this the experience of people in this forum? I have yet to...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    Thanks again for the further info. Is it possible to convert the hf3's into the ER4's by way of a converter a-la the ER4P > ER4S conversion or is there something else to that? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere so I'm guessing there are some other differences between the two here that might...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    Hi bikinpunk. I will let you know once I get the item, I'm in Canada and its coming from the US so it may take a week or two but I will post some impressions.   I suspect there would be a bigger difference between the hf3 and ER4S compared to the 4P but I still suspect there will be some...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    Thanks for the reply planx. I will definitely wait for the HF3 to arrive before I list the ER4's. I am in no rush to sell the ER4's. At that point I will see if it makes sense to keep the HF3's or return them. This way I can also really test them side by side to see what differences I notice in...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    Had some more thought and decided to give the HF3's a shot as they have a 30 day return period from where I got them and if the sound quality difference is material I will likely return but if they are very close (as everyone else says they are) then I may keep these. I'm also hoping the...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    Thanks for the replies. There is a wealth of information on this site , almost overwhelmingly so! The general consensus seems to be is that the HF series is approx. 90-95% of the sound of the ER4’s but more day to day usable. Interesting info on the mic I would have thought they would sound...

    Etymotic HF3 compared to ER-4P?

    I own the Ety ER-4P's, these are my second pair as the first got lost/stolen years ago, I quickly replaced them since they are worth every penny. I've been using these headphones for years and years and they are still rock solid. I love these things, awesome clarity, super isolation and I...
