    Sold My U18t's - What Replacement?

    I sold my U18t's, which I'm now sort of regretting, my fault. I have the EE Zeus-R's CIEM and Legend X (Universal) and would like to know what people would think I should buy to complement these two. I would sell the Zeus', but I doubt I would get much money for them at the moment. I would...

    Re-termination Service In The UK/EU

    I have an EA cable that needs to have the 2.5mm termination replaced and don't really want to spend a small fortune sending it to EA, so does anyone know of a UK/EU company that could do this for me? Cheers

    4.4mm To 2.5mm Adapter - Performance Loss?

    I bought some IEMs, but the supplied Ares cable is terminated with a 4.4mm connection, not much use to me, as my DAPs are 2.5mm. I have bought a Fiio 4.4mm to 2.5mm balanced adapter (I couldn't find any others), but I wondered how much of a performance loss would there be using this adapter...

    Anywhere In The UK To Repair My Cable

    Being a clumsy sonofabitch that I am, I dropped my Opus #2 and grabbed the cable to stop it hitting the floor, but in the process, I've unsurprisingly broken the termination, with the sound cutting in and out.:triportsad::triportsad: Rather than shipping the cable (Plussound X6 Series Custom...

    What Balanced Cables For My Zeus-R CIEMs?

    I am pretty new to the cable market and have just stuck with the stock cables that come with my IEMs, but now that I have some DAPs (Plenue 1, Onkyo DP-X1, Sony ZX2 and incoming AK240) that come with balanced output, I'd like to try the Zeus-R CIEMs in balanced mode.   The problem is that the...

    Muhammad Ali Dies

    Being an old git from England, I remember as a kid, getting up in the middle of the night, just to listen to his fights on the radio, his attraction was that great, all over the world.   He was a genius and often told us that himself, but he wasn't lying, how often did he predict the round...

    FiiO X7, Onkyo DP-X1, Questyle Audio QP1R or Sony ZX2?

    Which of these should be my next purchase?   I currently have the Plenue 1, Plenue D, A&K Jnr and DX90, how would the above compare?

    Balanced Out DAP Recommendations & Advice

    I've got the Plenue 1, A&K Jnr, Plenue D and Fiio DX90, but really want to try a balanced ouput DAP, but I don't really know a massive amount about it.   Do I have to get another cable to go with my Rhapsodio Galaxy's/Angie's, or can I just use an adapter?   Also, would it be much of an...

    Wanting To Lose My CIEM Virginity Or Get Some Noble K10U's?

    I've been upping my game lately, going from Earsonics SM64's and Westone W40's, to my recent addition of some Angie's, which I love.   I've been toying with the idea of getting a decent set of Custom's for quite a few years, but was put off by the price mainly and to finance my new addition...

    New DAP and Earphone Suggestions Please

    My main set up is the Westone W40 and A&K Jnr and really like the sound coming from this and I also like my iBasso DX90, although the battery life isn't great and Earsonics SM64's, which are harder to drive than the W40's.   I'm wanting to try another set up, for around the same sort of cost...

    New DAP and Earphone Suggestions Please

    I've recently upgraded to the iBasso DX90 and Earsonics SM64's and really like this set up.   I've now got some spare cash and would like to try another set up, for a similar price and was thinking of some Westone W40's and an AK Jnr.   Do you think this would be worth it, or can you...

    My Cowon J3 Needs Upgrading

    I've been happy enough with my Cowon J3 and Earsonics SM3's for a few years, but the earphones died on me, so I've now got some Earsonics SM64's, so thought that I might as well upgrade the J3 as well.   I want something with a similar sound signature, size, battery life and at least as good...

    Upgrade From My Cowon J3

    I've been quite happy with my Cowon J3 with the Earsonics SM3 for a few years now, but the SM3's basically died and I got a pair of SM64's to replace them.   I thought it might be an idea to upgrade the J3 as well, but have been out of the game for quite a while, so wondered if people could...

    Do The Large Bore Earsonics Bi-Flanges Stay On The SM3 Nozzle?

    When I originally bought the SM3's, the bi-flanges fitted perfectly well, but when they released the larger bored version, I bought some of those, due to the superior audio qualities.   Unfortunately, when I tried them on, the larger bore went all the way down and as a consequence, they...

    Any UK Head-fiers Want To Try Out The Monster Turbine Pro Coppers?

    I was extremely lucky and was given a set of Monster Turbine Pro Coppers from Monster/Soundmatters14, many thanks again, and all I had to do was post a review, which I did a few weeks ago.   I feel I should spread the good word around and am willing to loan these out to any UK members, with...

    Would My Sony X1060 And Earsonics SM3 Combination Benefit From An Amp?

    Whilst I'm very happy with the current X1060 and SM3 combination, I am wondering if it would get even better, with the addition of a portable amp?   I don't want to spend any money on an amp if there is little/no benefit, but as I have never owned, or even tried an amp, I'm asking for some...

    Which Cheap IEM To Keep Me Going Until My W3's Get Repaired?

    My Westone 3's are being repaired, so I'm lumbered with my e2c's to keep me going, but I don't like them at all, they're totally flat. I know I can't compare them to the W3's, but I would like something half decent for the three or so weeks that my Westone's will be away. I've only got £50 or...

    ACS Custom Sleeves With Westone 3

    I originally received my sleeves in April and since then, I've also had three replacements. The first two were replaced and quickly developed the same fault, where the nozzle hole wouldn't keep the phones in place, so they asked me to send my phones in, so that they could check their set up...

    Is It Worth Me Upgrading From My Zune?

    I've been pretty happy with my Zune 80 and Westone 3's, but fancy a change. I've read about the X1060 and S9 and wondered if the sound quality will be much/any better than the Zune? I also watch some video, so would like a good screen and would like to know if they'd be better as well...

    Can You Tell The Difference Between WMA Lossless and 320k MP3?

    I currently have most of my music on my Zune 80g/W3's as either 320k mp3 or 160/192 wma, but wondered if I ripped my cd's as wma lossless, would I notice much/any difference in the quality? Cheers

    Ultimate Ears UK Support

    Whilst trying to take the T-500's off my triple.fi's, the nozzle section of the phone came away in my hand. I've completed the RMA form on their website and as I only purchased them eleven months ago, from Amazon.co.uk, I presume there shouldn't be a problem with the RMA. As I live in the...

    Triple.fi Or Sennheiser IE8?

    I've had my triples for nearly a year, after moving on from my old E500s and am really happy with them, but I'm getting restless again and wonder if the Senn IE8's would offer me more. I love the highs of the triples and wonder if anyone who's heard both could compare the two, as I couldn't...

    Triple.fi, Zune and Cmoy?

    I was looking to try a headphone amp with my 2nd Gen 80g Zune and triple.fi's, but finances are low at the moment, so couldn't afford more than £30. I've found a Cmoy amp on the bay for about £25 and wondered if I'd really gain anything, or would I only gain by spending £100+, if at all...
