    IEM's for school. Budget: USD150-200

    I just bought both the gr07 mkii and the gr07BE. I am not a bass head, but listen to a lot of punk, rock, prog metal, but alos a lot of acoustic stuff.   Testing with the following tracks, the BE was more fun for me to listen to on the majority. Especially the bridge on "Lateralus" which had...

    Replacing Westone 3 for under $200

    got some nice PMs from folks. thought I'd quickly edit....   decided to put a bunch through the ringer -- in ascending order of price. Came into small windfall from other circumstance so was able to fudge my budget a bit to see if it made a difference.   Ety HF3 ($120) Found sound dull...

    Replacing broken Westone 3s

    Oh, the horror.  My beloved Westone 3s have bit the dust -- freak accidents and such.  Oh how I loved them.   Now, I need to replace.  I've owned some lower-end shures (SE210 I think), Sleek SA-6, and westone 3.  Loved the SA-6 but build quality failed me and was unable to get them replaced...

    durable ECH ~$80-140 for classical music in noisy environments?

    Classical sounds very muddy to me on the SE210. Granted, this is a subjective science, but it's night and day between the SE210 and the SA6 I own (SE210 being the far worse of the two).

    Ordered Westone 3's now thinking customs

    great feedback -- I forgot westone made custom tips. Sounds like I'd be a fool to go custom just for the sake of going custom at this price range. Hopefully I like the 3s when they arrive in 2 days! Thanks you two!

    Ordered Westone 3's now thinking customs

    So I ordered some Westone 3s and they should be here Monday for my cross-country trip to LA for the week. Since I dropped 400 on these, I got to thinking, what about customs? Now, granted, I haven't even heard the 3s yet and I may love them, but if I do not I have 7 days to return them...

    So, my SA6s just broke...

    Sitting in the lounge of my master's program, I'm listening to my SA6s. Someone taps me on the shoulder, I pull them out of my ear the same way I've done since July. I go to put them back in, and the right one has the chrome part stripped off, and the tube where you insert the treble ports has...

    iPhone 3G IEM headsets...

    Hello all, Since everyone was so helpful to me last time I asked for help, I'm back for more. I currently have an iPhone 3g and loathe the included headset. I've been using it with my pair of sleek SA6 and love the sound quality, but when someone calls I'm annoyed! So, I'm looking for IEM...

    Headphones for around 150 or less?

    I went and tried the whole grado line today. for the money, I'd probably go with the 60s. they didn't have any denons so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I was overall impressed with the 60s and 80s for the price. probably could use something with touch more bass if there are...

    Headphones for around 150 or less?

    There are various models of the D1000 that I see on amazon - to which do you refer?

    Headphones for around 150 or less?

    I've done a little reading around the forums, but sorry if I've missed something that may have answered this. I'm currently getting my Masters degree, and as such I do quite a bit of music/media usage from my laptop computer (dell xps1210). I use IEMs with my iPod and computer as of right...

    Sleek SA6

    got mine today. I got exactly what I was looking for: more comfort than my SE210 (I don't like biflanges, but these are great - though I'll need to take some time to get it just right), better instrument definition - i.e. goodbye muddled SE210 mids, and a bit more bass pop. I'm really happy with...

    Favorite songs to "test" new IEMs

    Well, my sleeks will be here next week, probably. I'm just curious as to the everyone's favorite songs to "test" a new pair out. Post links of the songs if you are feeling especially bored! I'll probably use the following 5 when my sa6 arrives: A Wilhelm Scream - "The Horse" This is...

    Sleek SA6

    just ordered mine. with coupon for $190 shipped from soundearphones. damn fine price. hopefully this cures my angst with the shure se210 treble (or lack thereof). I haven't been this excited for a purchase in a long time. woopwoop
