This article showed up on my google feed, and it enraged me: http://www.droid-life.com/2017/08/08/pixel-2-headphone-jack-iphone-8/ It boggles my mind that there could be someone as stupid as the author of this article out there in the world. 3.5mm headphone jacks has been used universally...

I must say, these two posts triggered me pretty badly. I bought the iPhone 7+, but sold it when I realized I couldn't live without the 3.5mm headphone jack. I ended up buying an iPhone 6s+ that I'm very happy with. I will never buy another Apple iPhone as long as it lacks the 3.5mm headphone...

I've been on a bluetooth kick recently, trying to free myself from cables and using bluetooth headsets at the gym and in the car.  The earphones I had been using were the highly touted Panasonic RP-TCM125-A , picked as one of the top wired earphones by wirecutter. These sound crisp, full, and...

Hey all, I purchased 2 LG Tone Infinim hbs-910 bluetooth earphones from CostCo recently, for around $50 each (clearance).  I bought these at the suggestion of a friend who raved about them.   Imagine my huge disappointment when I tried these for a few weeks.  The sound is tinny, flat, and...

So after listening to them for about an hour, here are a couple of things:   1. is there such a thing as headphones being too clear sounding?  The clarity on these are amazing... but I feel as if the music has had all its clothing stripped away and is fully naked... which can remove some of...

Interesting, my massdrop silver ones are the same height as the other filters... but my black filters are missing an O-ring.   Quality control is not the best I guess, in terms of the accessories.  

The clear tips do fit.  Read my post above.  I'm surprised you guys are having that much trouble.   Slowly slip it on, then jam it on and voila the white silicone buds stick on.

They do fit.  You have to slip it on gently at first, and then forcefully jam it in fully once you've got it seated around most of the filter.   I was worried about the silicone tips after reading your post, but I was able to install it on them with no problems, by slowly increase the force to...

I was not able to scan the QR code, it's too small for my iPhone 6 to read.   However, I have to say my opinion is changing.  I took these on a trip recently, and used them for hours on end on the trip, and they have come alive.  I was shocked at how good they sound after extended listening...

Thanks for the info.  Still kind of depressing to read about the hearing damage. You're right though, a lot of unanswered questions.   Our ears are the most precious investments in this hobby... I hope there will be better news ahead.

Watching this brand new video posted today was a major downer.  I wear earbuds most of the time because they are convenient to carry, keeps my ears cool, and are cheaper than over the ear or on the ear monitors...   Now I'm a little concerned and anxious about doing so...  :(   Any veterans...

I seriously wonder if my P3 are counterfeits, although the discussion in the SD thread do not seem to indicate such.  I listened to them again a few times since my post, and they really do not sound as good as my other cheapie $10 IEMs.  I am very disappointed in mine so far.  I'll try burning...

On sale for $17 shipped... worth it?

This thread is intended to give review on IEMs which are mostly used for talking (cell phone, facetime, hangouts, skype, etc..).   Since I spend hours in conference calls and talking, having comfortable, and good clear IEMs for talking are a must.    The priority for the IEMs reviewed in this...

Thanks, not familiar with those, will have to do some reading on them for sure.

I've read the head-fi review for the Fidue several times now... very good info so far.  Will definitely keep those in mind for top end IEMs.

On the original Slickdeals thread there are a lot of people who are unhappy with the way these sound compared to the hype they read /heard.   http://slickdeals.net/f/7972229-xiaomi-piston-3-in-ear-headphones-w-inline-controls-mic-16-free-shipping?page=14   The ones I received are metal, the...

Got my Piston 3's from Tinydeals with the simplified package.   I was disappointed. They sounded a bit muddy, and definitely not as good as the Monoprice hi-fi reflective earphones w/ mic (a rebrand of NuForce NE-600X based on what I read).  The cheap $10 Monoprice hi-fi reflective earphones...

Thanks, that is good to know.  I'm going to watch a lot more reviews and read a lot more to get a better understanding of these.  You've helped a ton, will PM you if I decide to get these!

Thanks.   I watched a youtube review where the reviewer said they don't have a lot of mid-bass, and he says the k550 (in another review) it's more of an analytical sound, cleaner.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKQP2zbu_JU   I think I'm more of a bass-head and I really like feeling the...

Thanks for the info.  I mainly use my iPhone 6 and Note 4 to listen, as I have no amps / DACs etc.. (still an amateur).  Will these be okay with those as sources?
