Klipsch x7i or x10, Shure se215, Final Audio Heaven ii, or hifiman re-400?
Not sure which one to get. I have had two pairs of the re-400s and they're great but the build quality sucks. The heaven ii's look like a good choice but how bad is the cable noise? I like to wear IEMs down (not cable around ear) and I am worried that it would be too bad. I had a pair of HF5's...- MaximusPrime

Should I get Sennheiser momentum or Hifiman re-600 songbird?
I owned the momentum for a little bit and liked them a lot. I own the re-400 which I love for the price but have never heard the re-600. Which should I buy?- MaximusPrime

Can you identify these headphones?
Just saw this movie called The Internship and of course being a member of headfi I ended up paying more attention to the headphones than the storyline. But I couldn't figure out what these were so Here's a video where the actor is wearing them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thltImlAYww- MaximusPrime

How deep is the insertion of the hifiman re-400?
About to get some new IEMs around $100 to replace my sennheiser momentums as my portable headphones. I tried the etymotic hf5 but the deep insertion was very uncomfortable for me, do you think the re-400 will be more comfortable?- MaximusPrime

What are the most comfortable IEM's under 100?
I had the etymotic hf5 and found them to be very uncomfortable. I have a bit of swimmers ear so I need something that won't go far into the ear canal (like hf5). But I do want them to have decent to good isolation. Need to be under $100 and I would prefer them not to be an over the ear cable...- MaximusPrime

Will headphones get more comfortable over time?
I recently became an owner of some sennheiser momentums, my first pair of what I would say are audiophile type cans. At first I was a little underwhelmed, but this was just due to having really high expectations going into it. As I listened longer I really started to enjoy the headphones and...- MaximusPrime

What would an amp/dac do for my etymotic hf5
So I got the etymotics as my first good headphone. I would like to explore the audiophile world a little more and purchase a DAC/AMP. What I would like to do is improve soundstage and maybe add some more to the bass. There are some things I am confused on though, one is that I will mostly be...- MaximusPrime

Good looking all-arounders for under $100 recommendations please
I like the classic stylish look of the B&W p5 but obviously out of my price range. I also like the retro look of the momentums but those are out of my price range. I really like the look of the grado SR 60i's but because they are open back they leak and don't isolate enough for all around use. ...- MaximusPrime

I just ordered the HF5 headphones which I feel will suit me well but, I need to pick up some headphones for about a $100 or under for my brother. The HF5 is a candidate but he is coming from apple buds and I feel he wouldn't like the cold ety sound. Also not sure if he will like the deep...- MaximusPrime

Size of etymotic mc5 and hf5
The etymotic hf's buds look to be pretty long like they would stick out of the ear a bit. Are the mc's any smaller? Also anyone that has etymotic's, are they durable? The cables look a little cheap.- MaximusPrime

Recommendations for Headphones under $200
I am looking to buy some new headphones. I love the Bowers and Wilkins p5; however, I don't want to spend over $200 dollars. I thought about the klipsch s4i ii but I need something more durable as the reviews often state durability issues. So I don't care if they are in ear, over ear, or on ear...- MaximusPrime
