What's everyone's filter preferred for vocals, classical, and edm? I'm having a hard to undertanding what each of these filters specifically do

Apologies in advance for not putting this in the recommendation thread but I wanted to ask people who were familiar with hybrids. I'm going to get a new IEMs in the 200-300 range. Is it worth the extra price for hybrid over non-hybrid IEMs? Especially if focus was on soundstage and being able to...

How heavy is the DN-2000 or DN-2000Js?

It's a triple hybrid, so I'm assuming it'll provide the best of both worlds. Are there any particular drawbacks to this configuration? The Dunu thread says it has a possible problem with sibilance.   Should I be searching for a triple hybrid iem? What IEMs in the $250 give a really good bang...

Hmm damn I don't have the time to get my ear molds done and wait for it to be shipped before I leave. If that's the case any other recommendations? A good all rounder would be good to me

Hey all I was looking for new IEMs (my old ones were the discontinued klipsch x10s) for under $300. However all the IEMs from $150-300 seem to pretty good so I can't really pick one and I don't have a particular preference for music   Looking for   Price: Under $300 Sound: No preference...

Looking to get a over head open headphone around $200-250 that's also warm and fun. I don't want the soundstage to be too wide and don't plan on getting an amp so I'm looking for a headphone that doesn't need an amp. Anyone have any suggestions for me to look at?

So I got the JDS CD5 and it recommended that I set the player to 75% volume on my laptop, which I assume is itunes. Does this actually do anything or would setting it to 100% volume on itunes work better and then control volume through my amp?

Anyone here tried powering a q701 with these? How do they sound? Is the power enough?

Looking for my next IEM an I was wondering what I could get in the price range of $200 or less that might fit the bill?   I listen to a wide variety of music but value soundstage and clarity over things like bass. I don't really have a sound signature in mind , but it would be nice if it had...

For all of those you with a q701 as well, is it worth it to get a q701 if I already have a m-80, especially if I'm going to get a amp/dac combo as well?

Thanks for spending the time to write that stuff up, it makes a lot of stuff clearer. Guess I have to go and listen to an amp myself to kinda tell what's going on but Iyou explained it well enough :)

I've already got a v-moda m80, but apparently it doesn't really get much use out of an amplifier. Will I be getting a noticeable upgrade if I get a q701? And can anyone give me a quick crash course or run down on what the amp actually does? People always tell me it brings out the oomph in music...

Hey guys complete headphone/amp newbie here.   I've only bought headphones in the past and never had the need for an amp and only have a laptop with onboard sound + iphone for music. However I'm hoping to get a q701 and amp, only problem is I have no idea what to do or how to start. Say I get...

Open are fine with me because I figure my IEMs will fill the closed headphone role (kinda)

I was going to ask this in the recommendation thread but I figured that a you guys would probably be more knowledgeable on getting a headphone / iem with an excellent soundstage. I currently have a v-moda m80 and had a klipsch x10, and while they are/were pretty good clarity wise, their...

I'm hoping one of these will go on a deal soon during cyber monday and was trying to figure out which one to get.   I've realized that I'm not very good at deciding on IEMs based on their pros, so I was wondering instead, what are the cons of each of these products that might make a product a...

The reviews for Rock-it r50 say it has excellent soundstage and clarity, and its around your price range. I'm a little concerned by the fact no one really talks about it for how good it's supposed to be though. You might want to give it a look or see if you can try it on somewhere.   Not to...

bump :(   Also the list of IEMs reviewed is a little too daunting and confusing for me. For example how is sound quality rated so high for the rock it r50 IEMs, yet there aren't that many people talking about it when even the reviews are incredibly positive for it?

Are there any killer IEM deals this year? Last year was the klipsch x10s for 80 from amazon. Should we expect something similar this year?

I made a thread earlier, but I realized I wanted to change my preferences a bit and see what everyone has to recommend for the new criteria.   Price: $250 max Sound Quality : Clear and excellent soundstage (is this possible with IEMs?) Comfortability: Snug Build quality: don't care what it...

http://audio-head.com/an-audiophiles-black-friday-guide/   Granted I'm not impressed with the 10-20% discounts I see there for black friday, but maybe another killer deal will pop up later this week (I think ultimate ears triplefi was around 150 on amazon two years back)

Thanks for the quick reply!   I don't really have a sound preference, though I do love being able to hear the 'highs (like violin high notes)" and good sound stage (the x10s were kinda meh in that regard).   Is it also too early to be looking for really good black friday / cyber monday...

I lost my Klipsch x10s that I got for Black Friday / Cyber monday on amazon last year, forgot which one and was hoping to get something to replace it. Anybody have a list of the mid-tier high-tier IEMs that might be on sale this year of BF/CM?   Preferably equal or better than the Klipsch...

They don't really stick out from the ear because they are actually smaller than they look and fit quite snugly far into the ear. I can't comment on sound quality because I'm not very good at listening for these things unfortunately ( I can't even tell a $40 earphones from $200 if you don't count...
