Hi!   I decided to sell almost all my gear to get a new set of IEM and I can't decide between Custom or Universal... I listen to pretty much everything and a lot of it.   I can go Used or New, I don't mind and my budget is around 650$ all in all.   I've read so many great things...

They look like UE !   The IE4 are supposed to look like this ...   But I could be wrong...    

Hi!   It's been a while since I had the time to read here!   Last year I bought a pair of used UE 10 PRO to get remolded but I lacked the money (and patience).   I decided that I might want to sell my IE8, broken Westone2 and my ER4/P to pay for the remolding of the UE10Pro, But then...

Hi everyone, For two years now, I've had Klipsch's Promedia 2.1 as speakers for my music and a crappy 5.1 surround for my movies. I am now tired of the surround's crappy sound and I find the 5.1 useless for me, so I decided to sell it and my promedia to get something more decent for music...

I still have some UE10pro that I need to remold. I was supposed to do it a while back, never had de $$ to do so. I'll probably sell my Q-Jays and ER4Ps soon to finance it. (Can't find an audiologist that will charge me less than 100$ in montreal... it is waayyy to expensive... ). I was...

I just bought some used UE10Pro on the cheap that I'll need to get remolded (while waiting to gather the money for the JH13Pro). I guess UM is the best bet. I've been told by someone at UM that they are able to tune the IEM to match the sound signature of the originals and that they could...

Well, I e-mailed Jh Audio to see what JH had to say comparing the UE10 and JH10... I've also been e-mailing all-week long and right now... Westone and UE seems to have a good pre-sale service... Honestly right now, I have a 3 player game (ES3X,UE10,JH10) so instead of deciding wich way...

Again thanks a lot for your insight! @MaoDi : Do you think the vinyl tips are a must have in order to be able to sleep with the IEM? @Sinocelt : I guess you're right, I hadn't tought it trough... altough, since I'm in canada I'm a bit scared of the total asked price for a set oh ES3x...

Thanks for both your replys, I appreciate it ! Now, I'm a bit concerned about JHA's build quality right now. I don't know if it is still the case, but they seemed to have a hard time with QC. Do you think it's an issue? Also, I've heard that the Westones were the most confortable (from...

Hi! So, I've been reading a LOT this passed week and well, I'm in the market for some Customs. By talking a lot to the UE people on the phone and negociating a lot (I'm a par time sales rep so I know the game quite a bit lol), i've got a quote for some UE10Pro for about 720USD. Now...

Well, I just spent one hour to carefully read this tread and all I can say is : My wallet is going to suffer... way more than I expected. Right now, I have two options : I can score a pair of UE10Pros brand new for 720$ + shipping ( witch is a quite good price), or, for about the same money...

Not a lot of information about that seems available... Anyone ever tried?

Hi! I have decided that it's time for me to get into Custom since I always sleep and relax with my IEMs. Of course I've heard of the JH13 but I just can't afford them in this reality. Now, there are some pretty affordable alternatives to big names like Ue and Westone, but their price are a...

It was absolutely stunning in montreal last night... And hell yes, Time Flies, the snow felt like 15 minutes to me...!!!

The first K400 I heard was mine and were recabled by Germania here on Head-Fi. I had the chance to compare just recently and I must say that Bass, and separation is better with the mod. It's totally worth it IMO...

And what about Grado? Ive never heard their high end models, only the sr60, but are they more balanced than the sr60? This is getting harder then I expected, and I like that!

Woah... Suggestions are all over the place!! A lot of reactions out there... I'm pretty sure that I won't change my amp/dac since they have a wonderfull synergy. (even tough the grundig is SS, it sounds tubey, and the zero is really analatycal, they complete eachother) The HD600 sounds...

Hi guys! I'm in a prog. rock buzz these days, and with the upcomming release of PT's new full lenght album, i'm looking foward to buy cans that will be used almost exclusively to listen to their music. I have an updraded Zero DAC plugged into a fairly high end Grundig Finearts series...

I am wondering if it could be because I removed the Noise Killing Caps?

That's what I tought at first... I wasn't using the zero's amp, but another amp (the grundig that's in my sig.). So I plugged my headphones into the Zero directly, same results. I also tried it with my father's rotel, same result. Now, the thing is, it even happens on quiet moments of a...
