I have had the DUNU-2000's and have an IM-04, so I can't talk of the sound quality for the titan's but I do know i absolutely hated the fit on the Dunu's, but I'm pretty sure the titan's have different form factor.   That really all i can offer is the 2000's had metal up against my ear and...

I've heard good things about the ATH-IM50 / IM70 for that kind of music at that price point.  Check them out!

My buddy has a leckerton UHA-6S .MKII which I tried out on my im04's w/ my Samsung s6 and it sounded beautiful, but upon looking it seems they are no longer being made.  I was looking for some advice on similarly priced Aamp/DAC combos I can carry around with my phone.   Their is a the sub...

Where do you buy them? I can't find anything but shady Amazon stores.

I honestly have tried the comply pros and the comfort tips.   The Comfort tips are a lot easier on my ear but the seal is really poor and I feel like a lot of noise bleeds and I generally only keep them around if my GF wants to use them because she doesn't know any better.   The Isolation plus...

Yeah it's much more noticeable and sharp drop with the IM-04's.

Well I'm exaggerating a little on that they sound totally horrible, they just sound very low and washed out they they are trying to make a sound but don't quite finish it.    It's listenable but it just sounds wrong I can't describe it especially after listening from the same device w/ a...

I have IM-04's and they sound TERRIBLE on an un-amped iPhone6 and Galaxy S6 unless you have the volume absolutely cranked and even then they still aren't getting enough power to really shine over IM-03's comparably.   Off my buddies UHA6 from the phone it sounds miles better and is extremely...

  Ok now I don't understand a lot of the actual math going on here, but how I understand it is that the Dynamic drivers in the IM-50/70's respond more to voltage like traditional speakers so they can run optimal with a much lower current and have low impedance because the small speakers aren't...

  Yes the details peal back on the IM04 when they aren't getting enough power, which is why they sounds noticeably more detailed at higher volume on under powered rigs like a cell phone.   Hooked up to an amp with enough power and a low output Z (<0.5) they sound like nothing I've ever owned...

  Yeah I mean they sound great on my phone at full volume, but that might be a little loud for some people.  Just if you want awesome sound at lowered volume on 14Ohm Quad BA's your phone will never handled that robustly (that said a portable amp has solved all my problems.)

I have the IM-04 and I have to say it does sound flat on my S6 until i have the volume turned up to 80-90% + then it sounds beautiful, that said using an amp translates that further down the volume dial.     So I can definitely see some one hooking up an IM-04 to a phone putting the volume to...

That is interesting I've mostly been using Spotify on Extreme quality because I heard bad things about the stock player when i get home today I'll have to load some music straight to my phone.

  I've been looking for somewhere to buy a Leckerton UHA-6S .MKII as I've heard good thing about it w/ low Ohm IEM's from multiple sites.   I just wish I could pick one up new from their page...

Interesting, I had no idea the cables even mattered! I'll have to check that out.

I just picked up a pair of IM-04's and I just wanted to say they sound great just running straight out of my S6.   Now that's not to say I don't think they couldn't gain a lot more ummpph from a nice Amp (I haven't ever thought about picking one up before as this is my first really nice set of...

I've recently picked up a decent pair of 14 Ohm and 101 dB/mW set of IEM's that sound pretty fantastic.  I've been reading some reviews on them and similar IEM's benefiting a lot form a low output impedance <1 Ohm amp/DAC's.  I use my IEM's primarily on along commute in the train off my Samsung...

Hi Head-Fi's!   I've been doing a lot of research here and I was wondering if anyone could help me out on some specifics.  My first "Real" IEM's were some mid range Etymonic hf5's and I was not much of an audiophile (though i listened to a lot of music) and the quality of reproduction of those...

Anyone have any specific advice for listening through a Samsung S6? What kind of IEM's respond well to that environment? Do you recommend a amp or something for real quality listening off a phone? 

Thanks for the help Badfish! I never even thought about the open/vented construction but that's great as Isolation is really important to me.  I'm now geeking out between the Shure -535's and the ATH IM04.    Do you have any comparison between the Hybrid type DN-1000's I've been using and a...

bump, anyone?

I've looked through that list a lot but my problem is understanding a lot of the references.  Like for casual listening of music I probably don't want IEM's designed primarily to be monitors?    Do something like the Custom Art One's which the reviewers describe have being "thicker, fuller"...

Hi HeadFi's,   I used to own a pair of Ety's hf5 ( i think ) as my first pair of IEM's that really made me think their was something to buying better quality IEM's I really enjoyed the clarity and excellent sound that came from them.  I'm no technical audiophile so I don't really know the...
