Looking for the most comfortable headphone or earphone (whatever is more comfortable) for lieing down. I'm guessing earphones would be more comfortable but when lieing on my side i feel the IEM basically dig into my head which isn't great. Budget is around $100. Prefer comfortability over sound...

So for anyone researching possible buys for this purpose I have a list containing the following so far: HiFiMAN RE-262 JAY-S QJAYS (Discontinued?) Shure SE215 Phonak 022 Weston UM1 My budget is max $200 so obviously your choices may differ with your available outlay!   Is there...

I saw the Sennheiser CX985 product page today...   http://www.sennheiserusa.com/private_headphones_earbuds-and-ear-canal-headphones_505422   It seems that the tweaked the sound for the better. The housing is now metal alloy. The plug is re-designed. They are including more tips. All this...

Hi guys!   Need advise on a portable AMP + DAC for my IEM. Using the Final Audio Design Adagio III.  Mostly will be using with my computer. I heard that some amps can improve the soundstage and that would go well with my IEM. I might upgrade to the Etymotic Research ER or Audio Technica...

Hello, I am sort of new to the high end in ear headphone category,  recently I have gotten an iPhone so I want to buy the best pair of headphones for my music, phone calls, ect.    I mainly listen to rap music and rock (mainly Eminem and bands like guns n' roses).  Although I have found...

I went to Jaben to check out some IEMs, and the service was fantastic and I got to try out a bunch of IEMs! The setup and music is in my signature... I auditioned the following IEMs, and here are my opinions... Westone 1- Really comfortable, but the sound was a little too thick for my liking...

The Brainwavz are on sale for $110. The Shure se215 are $99. I listen to mainly alternative and hip hop.

I have been on this forum for some time now and after buying some iems both dynamic and balanced armature and also with 3-way configuration, there was always something missing. Now with new hybrid iems like K3003 and UM Merlin, I always thought they would give best of both worlds.  After...

Hey guys! I need to find some new earphones for under $250 since my UE700's are dying on me. I listen to a lot of Hip-Hop/Dubstep/Drum 'n' Bass. Anyone have any suggestions? I have checked out multiple earphones such as the Westone UM2, etc... I just don't know which pair is right for me   ...

I've been curious about CIEMs for a while now and have decided to finally give them a try.  I've decided to go with 1964 Ears for several reasons.  First, price.  Second, I've read nothing but good things about them.  And finally, their location is just south of me by about 2 hours.  I figure...

JVC's carbon nanotube technology is new breakthrough in audio industry i want to know how it competes with previous beasts in terms of detailing and neutral sound. Folks get me a precise comparison between both of them. Take into consideration re0, er4p , ck10 and all other iem which are known...

  It's years past now, so no reason to get excited over a review, or an 'old product', right? I borrowed the eQ5 from Musica Acoustics back in like February or March. It's dangerous game. I borrowed the Grado GR10 from someone else and now have the GR8. That's a lot of money to throw around...

Hey fellow head-fiers,   I'm looking for a CIEM that has excellent imaging, great extension on both sides of the spectrum, controlled bass, neutral or slightly forward mids, and a nice sparkly treble. Also, an airy presentation and a well rounded 3D soundstage would be ideal.  ...

Hidition NT-6 Custom IEM Review: The Ultimate Reference?     Hidition, located in Korea, has been making custom IEMs for quite some time but recently just revamped their lineup and website.  Their products are primarily sold through stores in Korea, but they are now selling...

  Rooth LS8: Crystal Clear Power & Dynamics     Rooth is under the same roof as Unique Melody, sharing the same facility and possibly the same manufacturing equipment, but both have different designers/technicians.  I took a blind flyer on the LS8 as there really wasn't much...

I'm currently using a pair of UE700s. What I like: - clarity - isolation - tiny size / comfort - silicone (not unbearable foam) tips What I don't like: - no sub-bass "thump" - no bass decay - questionable build Searching for a replacement that keeps the pluses and fixes the minuses. I'm...

I recently went in on a Hisoundaudio Rocoo P auction. I might have thrown in a few extra $$ but I planned to ask for a pair of Live earbuds to try out and review. Based on the sound signatures of the Live and Living earbuds and the Rocoo I asked Jack if he could include a pair of Live buds with...

So I was planning on upgrading from my RE-Zeros and I was considering the SM3 Earsonics because of what I've heard about them but the thing is, I live in a place where there's no dedicated headphone stores or anything of the sort so I have not heard any of the headphones I am considering. I am...

Be it BA or Dynamics, I have always had a preference for a single driver IEM. My holy grail is ER-4S for neutrality and the FX700 for enjoyment. I've heard the ATH-CK10, ADDIEM, TF10, FXT90 and they all sound weird. The JVC FXT90 uses no crossover but relies on the differences of the drivers to...

So, getting bored of these UE's(Metro 170's... idk, paid $10 for them used on here back in March). I'm looking for something good for metal, rock...want those bass drums to hit.  Isolation is cool, without sacrificing comfort too much...of all the IEMs I've tried, I really loved the fit of the...

I'm considering getting these, do you guys feel its worth its value?

Hello,   Just sharing my thoughts since I have started collecting headphones when I started visiting Head-fi.   The idea is to collect one headphone from each brand to show it to my future son/daughter that this were the headphones when I was your age.   I'll just start with budget...

As usual, a newbie coming to the forums asking for advice. I've rolled with Creative's EP 630s for about four years now, and when the last pair broke, I decided to try some other in-ears. I went to try two other pairs (both Philips), but they just aren't for me. I've always liked the 630s...
