That's irony I can get behind. He already sold his and I just want to know if theses are real or fake!

Hahaha he really wanted to make sure I know they're fake :P

Thanks for replying and giving such detailed information. I think he just put his tips in a different bag and the cable is green because that's what happens with the clear cable. But I believe your other comments and now I think I'll not buy them at all and I will look further. Thanks!

Hi guys, I don't post here often but I lurk here a lot. My Ortofon EQ5 died on me so I'm looking for a replacement. I decided to go for the Shure SE425 and I found a good second hand deal on a local website. I can't pick them up due to the distance and I'm hesitating because I'm not sure...

 Smart! Thank you for the tip! Going to do it right now so I can order them.

I'm about to buy the Spinfit eartips for my Ortofon EQ-5 but I don't know which size I need and I don't want to buy multiple sizes because I'm not going to use the other ones. I normally use the Ortofon silicone Medium eartips. These have almost the perfect size. The Large hurt my ears and the...

Thank you for helping so fast. It looks like the price will not go down. So I'm thinking about buying Spinfit if I have to spend this amount anyway. The M silicone Ortofon tips fitted perfectly. Does anybody knows which size of the Spinfit i should buy? I read somewhere that Ortofon had a weird...

I lost one of my M silicone tips and I can´t find a good website other than this one (http://www.ortofon.com/silicone-eartips-set-p-577) to buy new ones. But they are, with shipping, in total 20 euro, which I find a bit much. Does anymore no a better (cheaper) website where I can buy the M...

Don't apologize! I really appreciate your help. I just ordered the E-Q5 this morning (GMT+1) so I already purchased them. But I found a shop in my own country so it's easy for me to return them if I don't like them. I understand they are not bassy but I find the E2C bassy enough so I think the...

Quote:   My source now is an iPhone 5. Not too keen about he sound quality. I think I will try it first and will buy a C3 and C&C BH later if I see them discounted or second hand.

I've heard that before :). But I really have only $100 dollar left on my $300 dollar budget because of the choice for the E-Q5... So is only a C3 also a big upgrade for the E-Q5?

I'm planning to buy the Ortofon E-Q5 as my next headphones and I would like to know what sources you guys use with these phones. I'm currently only using an iPhone 5 but I was wondering if it's really an upgrade worth of $100 to go to a Colorfly C3 or a Cowon for example.

That's the cheapest I found so far too.

Thank you for all your help! I appreciate it very much. Now it's time to search for the best price! Thanks.

Sorry I don't understand you. What is a lod? I have a iPhone 5. And are saying my iPhone 5 is enough or is a Colorfly or Cowon worth the extra $100?

Alright, the Ortofon E-Q5 it is! Thank you Kimvictor for your help. Now I only have to decide what source I want to use. Just my iPhone? My iPhone plus portable AMP? Or a new source (Colorfly or Cowon maybe)? Difficult times lately...

Quote:   Thanks for your quick reply. I searched those headphones and the SE535 and UE900 are too pricey (I can't find them under $300). Heir audio 4.ai is I think a bit lacking in bass (and also too pricey). Ortofon are I think good options and I think I like the E-Q5 more than the E-Q7...

I need help. I used to listen to my music on a iPhone with the Shure E2C and I would like to upgrade because I find the sound quality lacking and the Shure E2C is way to muddy. I did a lot of research on this forum but I'm still entirely lost. My budget is around $300 in total. For this price...

Thanks for the heads up. I will type my exact requirements tomorrow and maybe you can help me.

The build quality is a holding me a bit back on the triple.fi versions. I think I will sit down tomorrow and make a good list of what I really want from a headphone and try to explain that to you guys. I have $300 dollar to spend on a whole package so their are a lot of options like only...

Thanks! I think a bit overshadowing is already a turn off for me. The other headphones you mention are a bit to pricey for me:)

Thanks everybody for all the help! There are so much choice it's driving me crazy :P I'm now chosing between the GR07 MKII or vsonic VC1000...

Thank you for stating what I already thought. Thank you for your help. Problem is that trance is not the same as deep house or progressive. Also I want bass because it's part of the sound as a whole but I don't want it as biggest part of the sound. Sorry for explaining it so bad but I don't...

Hi, I'm new at this forum after lurking here for a couple of weeks now. I used to listen to my music on a iPhone with the Shure E2C and I would like to upgrade. I did a lot of research on this forum and almost made my decision but not entirely so I need your help! I want to upgrade my source...

I'm not an expert but I think they're okay but not great. The bass is good enough but sometimes I find the overall sound messy or muddy. I don't know for what price you can get them but I think you can get better headphones. The comfort was good for me but that depends on your ear. I like the...
