I was convinced I (ahem) needed the IE8's in my life - but then I came across "possibly the best dynamic IEM ever" review of the RE0......and then saw the price of them?!?! So as the title says, anyone out there own/ heard both to give a comparison?? If they really are THAT good, I may...

Totally Mobile mobile phone accessories: SNIE8 Stereo Headphones Seems legit too....might have to pull the trigger myself with this one!

Can't comment on any 'phones other than the M5's - which should you buy, you will not be disappointed. Masses of deep (and quality) bass. I've had mine for ages and still love them....a bit more expensive than the two you are looking at now though, but you probably wouldn't feel the need to...

Thanks all.....think I'm sold on the IE8's - esp. as in the UK we can pick them up for well under $300(US)!! Then it'll make a nice little upgrade when I get fitted for custom tips - and then there's the D10 which I still saving for.......this site has opened my eyes (and wallet) to so many things!!

Hi, The title says it all really - I've had (and loved) my M5's for a couple of years but a combination of curiosity and broken memory wires has got me on the hunt for an upgrade. I started looking into customs but alas, can't afford them (or at least remotely justify the expense of...

Power isn't the be-all-and-end-all factor - the sound is! I just didn't want to end up with something that wouldn't be capable.....but after some further reading, that doesn't seem to be the case with the D10! Besides, I don't listen to music THAT loud. Unfortunately, cost is also a major...

I'm not running a Mac (bit of an apple hater to be honest!) so the Apogee's no good for me. Not heard of the XM5 before - so will take a closer look......back to the D10 for a minute though - how easy is it to roll the opamps? I read somewhere that you can configure them in such a way as to...

Hi, I'm looking for a new amp and DAC - and have narrowed things down after a little reading up to the RSA Predator and the iBasso D10. Now I appreciate that there is quite a difference in price and this is basically the advice I am after - is it really worth it?? The $400+ price tag on...

Hi, I've recently purchased some Atrio M5's for portable use (after consulting this forum, naturally!) and I have to say I do like them - but I have not been 'wowed' by them. More than anything, I think this is due to the inherent lack of soundstage you get with IEMs. They also lack a bit of...

I know I said that cost wasn't really 'much' of a problem.....but I certainly can't afford to waste money on things I'm not going to fully appreciate - so paying top whack for headphones I'm going to plug into an iPod shuffle and go running in, or into a laptop to watch a film, seems pretty...

To Balisarda: "I don't consider the ER-4S 'analytical' at all! 'Analytical' implies frigidity" I was only going on what I have heard on this and other sites - also I don't know if there's much difference between the 4S and the 4P?? All I've heard is to steer clear of Ety's if you're not going...

Thanks Pez......I feared as much! Even without an amp, are these are gonna sound great - ie. worth their money?

Hi all, Firstly, sorry for the ambiguous title, but thought it might help get a few more people to read a thread from a newbie! I know there are a few already regarding IEMs (or ICMs or whatever - I don't want to start a debate over semantics!) but I thought I'd start a new one to solve my...
