    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

      I had an opportunity to audition a sample of the UE 11 and the IE 800 for just a few minutes in a store. And i was totally impressed by how the UE sounded when compared to the 800s. Having read somewhere in the forum that the SE846 is a cheaper alternative to CIEM, that led me to grab one. ...

    Shure SE846 Impressions Thread

      Agreed.  I got my 846 around 3 PM yesterday and had too forcibly pull them out of my ears around 2 AM as I needed some sleep.  Sleepless nights here we come!

      Just a question, how do you claim the warranty in case the unit go bust within the warranty period?  That's one of the earlier concerns I have in mind about buying online.   Kindly to enlighten a newbie.

    Audiophiles in Dubai?

      True. Saw an advertised Grado in Samma3a and they just cost the same as Virgin's.  Any suggestions what brands Dubai Audio offer that is similar in price-point and sonics to the sr325e?

      Will keep those two sources in mind.  Currently checking the options on shipping to UAE from outside.   Saw this website, www.earphonesolutions.com and they ship internationally.  Anyone bought from this site?

    Audiophiles in Dubai?

      Indeed.  I checked online, and the hp retails in the US at around 295 and Virgin sells them at 435 USD!  Never tried buying online and shipping stuff here.  So i usually end up buying my gears from Virgin mostly.

      Thanks for the tip.  I hope it is still available for demo.   As the genres you mentioned are what I listen to mostly, really looking forward to getting one soon.

    Audiophiles in Dubai?

    I did ask, unfortunately, the ones I saw in Mirdif City Centre and Dubai Mall were all sealed and they said that they can't open one for a demo.  There was a demo unit in Dubai Mall but it was the PS500e. It will be with blind faith that I will make this purchase believing that it would, of...

    Audiophiles in Dubai?

    Just want to ask around if anyone owns/owned/tried the Grado SR325e as I saw one in Virgin Megastore.  Would it be good with a Fiio X3 or iPhone 4/Fiio E07k combo?  Or are there alternatives (locally available) from other brands that you guys can suggest.   A fledgling into the hobby - I have...

    Westone UM PRO Series Thread

      Yes, those tips.   The ones for Westones have narrow holes which could possibly get smaller or deformed when inserted in the ears.   I read somewhere in the head-fi forum to cut the westone tips shorter to improve the treble.

    Westone UM PRO Series Thread

    Count me in! Loving them, um pro 30. It totally sound awesome as compared to my Shure se215 and Denon ADH1100.   I used the Shure's foam tips instead of what came with it, and the highs opened up.  Shure's tips have a bigger orifice, so maybe that helped a lot.

    Review: Westone um 30 Pro

    Far from being an audiophile.  But recently got one and totally enjoying the details of all the music - details which I never heard existed before, coming out of this precious little thing through a Fiio X3.

    Review: Denon AH-D1100

    I recently got these cans due to the generally good reviews but with much apprehensions because of the flimsy bulit arms. But after reading your mod, I decided to try it out. The next day after I got them, I beefed up the arms with steel epoxy and squeezed between the spaces a galvinized anchor...

    Audiophiles in Dubai?

    Hi! I am in the same boat as you. I am planning to get the Beyer 770 from Thomsun Electronics, m50 from VV & Sons, or Ultrasone 750 pro from Audissey. Looking for an upgrade HP to my Ultrasone Hfi 15g, which i am enjoying much. Any pesonal feedback on these products would be much appreciated...

    Sony MDRZX300- pleasantly surprised

    Hi! I just got the chance to compare both today, and decided on getting the MA100. I've read through this thread prior to my purchase, and indeed found the ZX300 fatiguing to listen to than the MA's, that's why I chose the latter.

    Audiophiles in Dubai?

    Hi! I hope it is not too late, but if you are interested still in getting the FiiO products, i just got a mail from Eros Group informing me that they will have the brand in their Karama branch starting Feb. 28. I quote, "We will get the FiiO range available at Karama Branch which is located...
