I would like to hear from DragonFly Red owners. I want a new DAC that's capable of: - Bluetooth via LDAC - Wired over USB-C - 2.5mm and 3.5mm plugs - Compact for mobile use with IEMs I really like the sound quality from my DragonFly Red. I've tried various other dongles and the ES100 but I...

Westone / Shure use a "bean" shape. What about shapes like the UM MEST, U12t, etc?

For those of you who bought and liked the Westone W60 or W80 and have moved on to other IEMs, which ones did you move on to? One of my W60 buds is irreparably damaged and I'm looking for a replacement. My #1 fear is getting another IEM that's too bright (W60 has dips at 2.5k and 4.5k which...

I understand that there are a number of Chi-Fi brands that seem to have pretty inconsistent quality control. One set might sound great and another might not. Can I get a list of some tried and true Chi Fi brands to focus on? Oh, and a list of brands to *avoid* would be really helpful too...

I like to side speed in my IEMs. The most comfortable for me by a long shot were the Westone W60s. Are there any really good Chi-Fi headphones that use the kidney bean shape that Shure and Westone use?

My Westone W60s are dead. One of the woofers died and it's not fixable. No warranty. I know this is a long shot, but if anyone who has owned the W60 or W80 can give me advice on what to replace it with it would be awesome. - The bean shape of the housing is perfect for me. Absolutely perfect...

I have Westone W60 IEMS that I paid $600 for secondhand. One of the woofer BAs went bad and I sent it into a repair shop. - The shop probably isn't able to repair the woofer BA. - They don't know the exact model of woofer. It might be a custom one built by Knowles for Westone. I've always been...

I'm looking for a headphone shop in Nanjing, China where I can go and demo a bunch of headphones like Shure, Westone, and Chinese brands like BGVP, KZ, etc. Anything available in Nanjing? A Google search only brings up Bose and Sony.

I have a cracked Westone W60 IEM that uses a standard bean-shaped shell like the onles that Shure uses. I LOVE the bean shape and I find that it fits my ears wonderfully, they block out plenty of noise, they're ultra lightweight and I can literally wear them 24 hours a day. Also a bonus is...

My Westone W60 shells are broken and I need to reshell them. I *really* like the bean-style shell and they're very very comfortable for me. Can anyone recommend a high quality and durable shell to fit my Westone W60 internals that can be bought on Taobao and shipped to Vietnam? I don't want...

I know, different price segments, but I'm still curious. The AS10s are a bit too bright for me in the 2K - 4K range, but everything else seems good. How are the DM6s?

This is a follow-up to my W60 teardown thread here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/westone-w60-teardown-with-photos-of-6-ba-drivers.889891/unread I need to seal these back up again but the sealant needs to hold the shell together as well as be non-permanent. The nozzles need to be sealed...

https://fuzzybabybunny.smugmug.com/Westone-W60-Teardown/ Photos are deliberately a little bit flat to show off detail in the shadows and highlights. My Westone W60s developed an audio balance issue after dropping my Microsoft Surface while it was hooked up to my DragonFly Red DAC and playing...

The shells on my right W60 monitor broke. The IEMs are out of warranty. Does anyone have any experience: - Getting Westone to replace shells? How much did it cost? I've read reports that Westone doesn't repair things - they just give you a 50% discount coupon on another new pair. Can someone...

So, first off, I'm not using a DIY IEM, but I figured that the knowledge of DIY people can help me figure out what might be wrong. I've got the Westone W60s (6 BA drivers in each monitor). It was plugged into a DragonFly Red DAC and one day I think I dropped the tablet computer that it was all...

My W60s are definitely experiencing some problems. None of the drivers are blown (confirmed by going stepwise through a tone generator), but the right IEM doesn't play at the same volume as the left one. I've changed out the cables, swapped IEMs on the same cable, swapped IEMs in different ears...

I just noticed this today. The music sounds subtly unbalanced towards the left side. When I throw on a cheap pair of earbuds I don't get the same sensation with the same track, so I think one of the driver's might have gone out on my Westone W60s? Has anyone else had this happen? What did you...

I have the Westone W60 and the silicone earpieces slide off all the time: - When I pull the IEMs out of my ears - When the cord gets tangled and it pulls on the earpieces - When the IEMs are in my pocket. The jostling is enough to make the earpieces come off. As a result, they run a huge risk...

I'm deciding whether or not to get a DragonFly Red to be used predominantly on my Samsung S5, with the intention of upgrading to something like a Google Pixel 2 in the near future.   - I have the Westone W60s, which are an excellent pair of high end IEMs. - Most of my source material is just...

My Samsung S5's DAC pales in comparison to whatever DAC is built into my laptop. I consistently enjoy my music more through my laptop than my S5, but the S5 is way more portable. I have the Westone W60 so I feel it's pretty important to get a good DAC.   Anyway, I don't know much about DACs...

I want to be able to make my Westone W60s "wireless" - basically add a bluetooth receiver to it that receives audio coming from my phone (Samsung S5). That way I can just wrap up my headphone cables and maybe clip the bluetooth receiver onto my jacket. It'll make my phone easier to use because...

I'm looking for the best triple or double flange tips for the Monoprice 8320 that I can get on Amazon.   I've got the Comply tips in large but I still don't feel that they isolate enough (I have big canals). The ones that fit well are the Monster foam Supertips in XL, but the XL is only...
