    Westone UM PRO Series Thread

    Let me chime in on this. I live in Thaiand and all new UM Pro series have been out for a few weeks. I tested UM3X, UM2, W4R, UM PRO 10 20 30 back to back, spent over 3 hours at the store through all kind of music and here is my conclusion.   1. There is virtually no difference between UM PRO30...

    Deal Alert! Head-Direct RE0 $79 for Thanksgiving.

    I am almost sold. However as I live in the UK the RE0 will cost 90USD net while I can find HF5 for about 100 USD (from amazon) include shipping. This make them cost practically the same. A lot of people say that RE0 is kinda cold and accurate (jack of al trade, master of none), with a little...

    Deal Alert! Head-Direct RE0 $79 for Thanksgiving.

    Damnit you guys! I'm pulling the trigger. Can anyone give me a quick comment on how these compared to HF5? I read lots of review and HF5 seems very positive. I don't know if they stand on the same level quality wise. (Price doesn't really matter to me now. I need to make a decision!. I know RE0...

    Deal Alert! Head-Direct RE0 $79 for Thanksgiving.

    They're still on sale.... So these RE0 are the phones that people here said to beat ER-4P and E500. What's the deal with huge price drop? Did they drop quality/ package, tips bundles to sell at low price or are they exactly the same as their previous models, but just... lower price? Aint that...

    Did Apple really steal the portible market from Sony?

    Sony cares too much about their own formats, which either make(Blue-Ray) or break (MD,UMD) . 7 years back I was the coolest kids in town carrying Sony MD around. Friends surrounded me every time I shove it out, thinking back it was hilarious... And now it's dead. Like very dead. When you see...

    Apple IEM - most underrated IEMs on the market

    After finding replacement tips to no avail, today I just tried the unthinkable! I always use med or large stock tips because I think the smallest one just won't seal. But then again as many people experienced, the largest one, although give a tighter seal, always fall off.... So, frustated as...

    Apple IEM - most underrated IEMs on the market

    Wow. The more I read the more it seems ADDIEM is the real hidden gem here. You are all saying it rivals the SQ of the model that double its price, much like they are in the same league, save for some minor shortcomings like a notch lower soundstage etc... . I remember someone here also said it...

    Apple IEM - most underrated IEMs on the market

    Anyone has experience with Shure SCL4? How do you think it compares with ADDIEM? I have an offer I couldn't refuse now as one of my friends plan to sell it for as low as 50 bucks in a mint condition while someone want to buy my ADDIEM for as high as almost retail price. Would you think I...

    Shure SCL4: A Quick & Dirty Review For A Clean Sound

    How do these buds compared to Klipshe Image X10? The price here in the UK are comparable. I really like Shure's design as I'm a fan of E4C, but the X10 do look promising!

    Apple IEM - most underrated IEMs on the market

    Amazingly fast response! Thanks so much. That sounds reassuring. And yes I know what you mean by that balanced and neutral- mid observation. Vocal does sound gorgeous on these buds! Although I wouldn't mind a little more high and a tad more immersive sound stage. Guess I will stick with em for a...

    Apple IEM - most underrated IEMs on the market

    Has anyone used ATH-ES7 and the ADDIEM before? I would love to hear a quick comparison. I know they are different beast. One is headphone and the other is in ear. But would like to know their SQ in side-by-side comparison of sort. I consider selling my ADDIEM and get ATH-ES7 as I'm quite clumsy...

    Apple IEM - most underrated IEMs on the market

    Hi all, I've been using the new Apple IEM for a while now and I must say it's rather uncomfortable for me. Of all the 3-sized provided silicone sleeves, I can only use the largest ones. The medium tips are way too small and won't seal anything at all. The problem with the largest ones are that...

    New Apple IEM Review (feat. ER-6i)

    Thanks Onamura, after an hour and a half of readjusting now I nail the fitting with standard large tips. They are soft and comfortable and the sealing is perfect! The sound is much tighter now. You really can't go wrong with this IEM. Highly recommend for head-fiers on budget.

    New Apple IEM Review (feat. ER-6i)

    Alright I got mine today. Shipping from Apple UK was super quick, only 45 hours from the day I pressed order button. Take note that I am an ER-6i and Shure e4c users. Mostly listen to acoustic, Classical and Jazz. Brit Rock every now and then. I use Apple stock headset from time to time as...

    New Apple IEM Review (feat. ER-6i)

    Mind you the cost is pretty low-fi, as you put it. Now after all the reviews I get the impression that this IEM produce a very neutral sound, which does take time to appreciate when you just shift from the comparable price-wise, and all-out IEM, which in my book is a very good thing. No...

    New apple duel driver earphones, for only $79?

    Apple's target audience probably couldn't tell the difference between the new ibuds and the IEM at similar price selling in the market. Certainly the stock iBuds don't worth £20 but remember they do come for free with your iPhone and iPods. No one force you to buy them. For most teens out there...

    New apple duel driver earphones, for only $79?

    If anybody manage to get one please get back to us! Have been waiting since October and really want to hear how it performs. Since I don't need uber earpieces these new apple buds, good style, and hopefully good twin driver, considerably cheap, might be just the one I have always been looking for.

    AKG K601 & K612 Pro Owners... UNITE!!

    I have an eye on this cans for a long time now. I think it will be a decent upgrade from ER6i. I wonder if my iPhone can drive this without the help of DAC or AMP? I dont mind the clunky size but I do want to use it mobile. Just worry that iPhone won't be able to drive it. Any comments?
