Yes, deeper insertion usually means better seal. Since your getting the tips stuck in your ear I want to say yes it is a good seal. However, it could also be too small and get jammed to far in getting it stuck. You ever just try having it just barely in? It is easier to tell you what is wrong if...

Two things I guess would be that the tips aren't completely on. And go a size up. You might have a good seal, but it must be going to far in, causing it to get stuck. I am thinking about getting the sony hybrids for my ADDIEMS I just got. Also doing a slight mod that I am liking right now but...

I am not liking what I am hearing about NE-7M's. Gonna check out the Turbines...

I asked for recommendations of what to get. Since I am going the cheap route and don't feel like dishing for good IEM's ATM due to other financial demands (college). Might get a new pair for christmas or something. Currently I am using stock Apple ear buds which is apparently sensitive to...

Nothing? lol. I was thinking maybe ADDIEM's. Or the Super.fi 3 clone from Altec. Any other ideas?I know it is a small small small budget for headphones let alone IEM's. I am willing to use headphones, so long as it is durable, because I am probably going to throw then into my bag and stuff...

SF5pro was plenty strong for me. I didn't even boost it when I was using it with my Cowon X5L. depends how much bass u want i guess.

I liked my Super.fi 5 pros... Heard there is a v2 or it now, so not sure what changed.

So I lost my UE Superfi 5 Pro... Looking for a replacement, reluctant to get another pair of the Superfi 5 Pro's in fear of losing them... I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations? I am using a Ipod earbuds, which are okay... Going to get a LOD so I can get all i can out of the...

I prolly won't run an amp. I wanna get decent headphones first before dishing for an amp.

which one has a sharper sound as in which one is more accurate and allows u to distinguish slight note changes and etc? M5 or SPF 5pro? both have decent reviews. both round the same price on ebay. so yea... you guys think the dual drivers of the spf is a big advantage over the single driver on...

the altecs look uncomfortable even though they probably provided the best noise isolation. M5 looks good and SPF 5 Pro look good. Not sure which one to go with. A lot of people say SPF 5 pro. But I feel like M5 is under represented since UE is very popular.

didn't really try looking bout the EB. But the pro has mixed reviews. I was wondering if people were listening to the SPF after the burn in or when it was burning in. Also some people said that they weren't really accurate and stuff. Haven't searched for stuff on the atrio and ER4 or the Er6i.

I know. That is why I wanted I wanted opinions since I don't know what extra bass entails versus the pro.

would u recommend a super fi 5 pro or eb? and wut about the shure se310? I am not sure what will meet my needs. SPF 5PRO or EB or Atrio M5 for my needs?

dude u prolly had an x5 then. iaudio for some reason uses like resin soldering or whatever rather than lead soldering for the audio jack. so basically what me a lotta ppl do is just take it apart and resolder the audio jack on.

If I increased my budget slightly would their be a drastic jump in quality headphones I could choose from? Like if I went from $150 to $200.

Basically I need help choosing a pair of headphones. I am leaning toward IEM's because of the isolation and me having a better chance of hearing the sound quality. I want to listen to all the detail and depths of my music. From Jazz, Rap, To Rock, to classical, to classical instrumentals. It is...

doesn't it also depend on the quality of the music files your listening to? like there is a big difference between 320kbps vs 128 kbps also type of files your using etc. but yea I would get a iaudio7 b/c of the files it could play.

try something from Cowon iAudio products. I think most players support wide range of files and some also support FLAC. Korean based company so I am sure they support some asian languages and stuff.
