    Replace InEarz P350 mostly used for gym / running

    I've been fairly happy with my custom in ear monitors InEarz  P350 for the last few years but they are getting quite beat up and the seal isn't what it used to be.  Apparently our ear changes shape over time.  Not a critical listener, uses iPhone as media player.   What would you recommend...

    Recommandation for Silicone custom in ear monitor

    Well, I have not been here in a while, but once again looking for advice from the community.   I had 2 sets of customs. One were Livewire (2 drivers) and the others were silicone 1 driver from Fisher Hearing.  Now my first pair just had a terrible (for them and me!) crash as I was hit by a...

    Put new cables on silicone customs

    Hi,   Havn't been on this forum for some time as all my IEM needs (and budget) were filled.  I was happy with my Fidelity Audio and another paid of custom silicone IEM (forgot by who).   In any case, here's the situation.  My silicone pair are super comfortable and are ideal for...

    Looking for soft material custom

    Well, i've done it. I've stepped onto my faithful Freq. Crunch. No gluing back this time around... This time I'd like to try some customs from soft rubber. Sound quality is not a super high priority as I listen to a lot of spoken words I was very happy with the Freq's 2 drivers. What would...

    Advice on Cell Phone as MP3 player or dedicated source

    Ok, here's the situation. I'm looking for a new cell phone (current over 3y/o and dying) and at the same time my Zune 8gig is having problem with the 1/8 connector. Reason, because I'm using custom IEM (Freq and Fidelity Audio), I found the output coming out of the zune to "loud". So in...

    Need advice on custom IEM

    Hello all! I need some advice. I'm thinking of getting another pair of custom IEM. I currently have the Freq's (2 drivers) and they are getting pretty beat up. I do like their sound, but obviously the company folded, so I need to look elsewhere. What would you recommend for customs at a 500$...

    Control FreQ, worth it or not?

    I have been infected by the upgraditis (thanks guys!) Anyway, I currently have the UE 3, and I'm contemplating these Control Freq as entry level in the custom molded IEM. Would it be a good move? Is it worth it? Would the sound signature be equivalent/superior?

    Comply T-400 review

    Well, here's my first review. First off, these were "tested" on my UE 3. Since the beginning, I had issue with getting a proper seal on these babies. So after performing the the flip mod, I also bought the shure "olive" and widened them. I was able to get a better seal, but the seal was...

    Ultimate Ear 3 problem!?

    Not sure what happened. I washed my IEM this morning UE with shure foam, creates lots of earwax. I usually just put a drop of dishsoap on my fingers, wet with lukewarm water and gently rub the foams, pointed downward so as not to have any water go inside. The IEM are at no time under the tap...

    Shure foam expanding too fast

    I'm using the shure foam (black olives) on some UE3. I was able to install the left ear perfectly and I get a great seal out of that ear. For the right side, the foam was somewhat tilted and I could never get a good seal. Very easily broken. So I removed that foam (had to rip it off) and put on...

    Weird experiment

    Well, maybe I'm just being a bit weird... In any case, I was trying out listening to some music. I had my SR60 connected to an amp, but that did not cut the audio from playing as well on a pair of Denon speakers. Maybe just my imagination, but having the headphones on and the speakers at the...

    Need of an amplifier?

    Hi, first, I'd like to say you guys are turning me into an audiophiles. Well, at least a more "critical" listener! OK, my setup is as follow. I have both a pair of UE 3 for gym, noisy places and a pair of Grado SR-60. I do most of my listening off of my Samsung T-10 MP3 player. Would my sound...

    Super.fi 3 eartip recommandation

    I find that the provided eartips do not sit well in my ear. Especially while doing physical work/going to the gym. It seems the inside of my ear gets moist and I loose the seal. I'm looking for some replacement/mods that would stick in better. I'm also under the impression that my ear canal is...

    Cant's get a proper seal with Super.fi 3

    Hi, I've just bought a pair of super.fi 3 which seemed like a good pair for the price range and which is supposed to be quite comfortable, according to various reviews. My problem is as follow. This is my first pair of in-ear, so maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've read all the...
