Ok, first of all folks, I'm not going to compare these headphones to anything else. It's a standalone review on the merits and shortfalls of the Westone W40 in-ear monitors. I'm hoping to highlight who these monitors are made for, and who will likely take maximum enjoyment from them. All...

ok guys so my EX-1000 arrived today and i thought id share my thoughts about these IEM's and compare them directly to the Sennheiser IE8 and shure se535.   first things first.   Design and Fit:   My immediate thoughts upon opening the earphones up was these things look stunning and...

ok guys so i ordered some of these... before christmas actually and they should be here monday after some serious delays, i got them at a good price i think at £200 because the box was damaged hence the price. im just unsure if theres anything i should keep my eye on, i know lower grade sony's...

hey guys, i didnt want to hi-jack a thread with this so i thought id post a thread for a quick answer. i just ordered the fiio e5 and im now wondering if i should have bothered? basically im using a cowon D2 and shure se530, this is what worries me, my plan was to buy a really cheap amp...

this thread isnt ''needed'' or required but i wanted to gather a few opinions on this subject as there are a lot of hardened westone 3 owners that dissagree with me totally when i say the westone 3 cant be called the best built based on previous westone products. we all know westone provides...

its a simple question, just wondering if when you crank your phones up and its a song you like wether you get the odd shiver now and then, and hairs tend to raise on your body ( or it feels that way ) i thought at first it was just a shock to my system because of how loud i was playing the...

i highly doubt it, but was thinking about purchasing these as a gift, and boasting dual drivers in each ear at such a good price is very good, i dont know much about them apart from thier silly frequency claims (5hz to 21khz) and same old design but do they sound £55/$100 worth?? sorry if a...

i thought i was doing so well until a go to clean the cable an there it is as clean as a whistle, a great big clean split in the cable, now im pissed what is the process for getting these replaced in the UK and they are still within warranty period with a cable code of november 06, but i...

im purchasing one in the next 30 mins to pair up with my shure se530. im immediately swayed towards the formidable D2 but how good is the iriver clix2?????? thanks all

according to earphonesolutions...Westone 3 NEW 3-Way Driver Earphones (a.k.a. Westone UM3) is this game over for westone?? theres alot of dissapointed westone fans out there about waiting this long for a triple fi and se530 beater, does this put the UE's and Shures on the number one and two...

hi guys, im not sure who can help me on head fi or which part of the forum i should go to for this question, but im sure somebody in the DIY can help. anyway my question is this, i have a very mid grade technics SCDV290 mini system in my bedroom, The amplifier isnt a load of rubbish by any...

interested in purchasing one. ofcourse a better comparison would be IMAGE and er4's but i already know the image has bigger bass and the er4's have better detail as expected. but now these...both are tiny, but the q-jays have dual drivers and are cheaper, is there a reason?

if i sent my ue10 in for a re-fit with new impressions. will they recognise if it is a different persons impressions?? the reason i ask is because im looking to move them on to my gf but ofcourse they would need to be re-molded. will my ue warranty cover this, as in theory it should not...

i think these look like a very nice alternative of the triple fi 10, ofcourse they are just a different colour and thats it but i think im digging the chrome over the now standard electric blue.

hi guys i feel i contributed mainly to the closure of the last ety obsolete thread so i thought i owed it to the origional OP to re-open another one to get back to a serious discussion about the ety's and wether they are indeed too old, or can they still compete, what do we all think, have ety...

i dont know if this has been spoken about, more than likely it has but i cant be bothered to search as i am considering buying a new zen 8gb for on the go. i already have a 80gb ipod but i want something smaller and hopefully that sounds better for on the go listening so i can relegate my ipod...

Soyntec Netsound 280 Headphones - Products i dont know how they sound (probably terrible) but i stumbled across them on this website and thought they look sensational and of high quality for so cheap, anybody have any experience with these?? also they have gold plated connectors and they...

i ask this question because here, http://www.shure.com/stellent/groups...ematic_pdf.pdf shure states the mids are handled by the tweeter and the bass drivers are totally dedicated,makes sence to me as bass could take away from mids quality in theory. but here, Triple.fi 10 Pro...

i mainly only use my black foams with my shures and i dnt have any tickling in the ear but i want to use the grey tips now and then and find i cant have them in my ears 2 mins without them starting to tickle me when i move and listen to music, i find them very easy to put in and take out so id...

the reason i ask is because i was testing a cd i have made for car subs through my super fi 5 and on some really low frequencies at higher volume there was audible rattling, i have yet to try with my ue10 and e500 for fear of causing damage. im aware excessive volume can possibly damage...

theres alot of etymotic fans here at head fi, which could be said are critical listening phones along with q-jays, ue 10's etc etc. then theres the fun sounding phones such as atrio's, e500, super fi 5, (dare i say) ue11's etc etc. what do we prefer to listen to overall, i know we like to...

what do we think, i specify non customs because of the destinct advantage of customs DONT BE AFRAID TO VOTE OTHER GUYS!! the list i provide is just a few up there possibilities to create a worthwhile poll

theres plenty of talk of whats the best and which phones deliver. i want to know what phones that you have had or listened to that was the most dissapointing and why, ill throw a poll up to make decisions more clear. please dont all say the cheapest model. i want a vote on what was expected...
