Hi, iTouch users. After my wife got an iPhone with her new job, I've been wanting one for myself, but the monthly contracts for a smartphone here are ridiculous, and that’s put me right off the iPhone. However, the idea of getting an iPod Touch for music and apps and keeping my mobile for...

I'm seriously considering getting livewires but i wanted to ask if they have a warrenty policy first. not trying to down the company, i just want to know because you never know if the headphone will stop functioning or you break it. will they fix it if it stops working (without my breaking it)...

Introduction: This review will cover the flagship IEMS of UE, JH Audio and Westone. Overtime more IEMs from different brands will be covered such as UM and 1964 Ears. Please note that currently I only have 3 fully custom IEMS The Westone ES5, UE18Pro and the JH16Pro.  Whilst I have the...

in the UM thread I received no answer so here is a new one:   I´m thinking of having my UE TF10 reshelled (I´m using comply foam and in the long run reshelling just seems the better way) and I have a few questions, I don´t know much about audio and iem´s so it would be nice if you gave me...

Hi guys, I am currently looking to buy out some custom In-Ear monitors and I was wondering wich of theses two models were the best choice I could make, I know for sure that UE has alredy a great reputation where 1964 Ears is a starting company. I read the review of both theses ears and the UE 4...

Does anyone know if I can use the Replacement Cable for TripleFi 10vi to turn some 1964 Ears into iPhone friendly IEM?   Is the connector the same? On the UE website it states "46" Replacement Cable with integrated microphone and on-cord control for TripleFi 10vi – NOT COMPATIBLE with Custom...

Hello - I first want to start with an apology for starting yet another thread on this subject. I have been searching your archives for information related to this issue, as well as reading the very wonderful comprehensive IEM review page listed here. I have been trying to do my due diligence in...

1. If you have done it, is it worth it? 2. What steps do I need to take to get it done? 3. How much does It typically cost? 4. Is it a pain to have to get them remolded? 5. Are they comfortable? 6. Who is the best vendor to use? Any help is always appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What's the difference between the sound of balanced armatures and dynamic drivers? All IEMs I've had were dynamic drivers and always wondered how the armatures differed. I plan to invest in a new pair of IEMs. I'm deciding between Westone 2/3 or 1964 Duals. Any information would be appreciated.  

Hi folks,   recently I have been considering an upgrade for IEMs. I used to own (just sold) Shure SE315 and I was very happy with the build quality and comfort, however I thought the sound could be more transparent, more detailed and overall more clear. the soundstage is rather poor for...

I'm tired of getting iem of fitting in my ears. So i was thinking of going the customs route. However I dont know any good company that makes custom except UE and 1964. Im looking for a price range of 150-300$ to spend on. thanks alot

The 1964 EARS V6 is finally in my ears, and it's wonderful. Wider soundstage and more detailed than the Quad to my ears. It's a more balanced sound than the Quad, yet with plenty of bass extension, forward mids and extended highs. Those who thought the highs were a bit recessed in the 1964-Q...

Finally, the time has come where I can purchase a new set of Customs! My UE5c's have served me well over the last 6 year, but they are beginning to die on me. I have decided to purchase a pair of 1964 ears largely due to budget constraints, but also because I hear great things about their...

I'm currently using a pair of Shure E3C's which I've had for years via a total bithead amp. While I absolutely love these I keep eyeballing ... upgrades... and I like the look (and cost) of the 1964-T triples (http://www.1964ears.com/products_triples.html). My ears are weirdly shaped or...

  I'm a newbie to nice headphones (I've owned a Sennheiser CX-250, but that's about it). But I've been getting into the sound system thing a little bit (I now own an Infinity Beta 50 based 7.1 sound system). I'm looking for good headphones in the $50-$250 range (but could push it a little...

Just wondering, Can anyone give a comprehensive list of all custom IEM manufactors? currently I've only heard of two, which are UE 1964 Ears.   Can anyone tell what brands are appreciated by head-fi'ers? I need this information in order to decide which pair of custom IEMs to buy...

First off, I'd like to point out that the 1964-T is my first set of in-ear monitors (iem’s), so I can only compare to the full-size headphones that I own (namely Grado SR-80i and AKG k701). That said I’m fairly confident that I know what sounds good to me, however, if you disagree with my...

Since custom IEMs are by definition impossible to hear before buying, I thought I'd share my thoughts on my new 2MAX set from Sensaphonics!   I'm a bassist and have been using LiveWires for over two years now. They were my first custom IEMs and did the trick for $250. Generally deep bass and...

I am looking at some custom IEM's and decided to get a quick opinion. My price cap is $400, but feel free to suggest more expensive options. First of all, do you recommend I save up to buy some high-end custom IEM's or just go with a cheaper alternative for now? I am looking to get the following...

Hello. I've promised you guys a very thorough and detailed review and I will take what brief time I have today to just reserve this spot. Anyone interested in asking me a general question or on the 1964-D's can feel free to pm me. Simply put, these are the best headphones/iems that I've...

I stumbled across this brand called 1964 Ears which makes some pretty fancy custom IEMs for cheap. What do you think of it? 1964ears.com

Hey everyone, I am a live vocalist looking to purchase custom in-ear monitors for around $400/$500 to use on stage (club size venues). I've been doing a lot of research on head-fi and I'm seeing that there are a number of go-to IEMs such as UE10s, ES3s, etc. but I'm looking for one that is a...

Very grateful to have found a site and community such as this. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of info collected on here and could use a push in the right direction. Background: I play guitar with an all electronic group where two producers use mpc's, kaoss pads, midi controllers and other...

The reason I posted in this forum is because it relates to my JH-16's. Just want a good portable headamp that's not over 200. Is a cmoy with a gain of 3 or less gonna do it for me or will I notice a big difference between a prebuilt 40 dollar cmoy in a mint tin vs something a little more suited...

Ericp10 mentioned these, so I thought I'd put up a link to their website and we can post more as we find out more. http://www.1964ears.com/    Their quad driver custom will be $500 Their triple driver custom is $350   They also have a $275 dual driver custom and a $200 single BA...
