audio-technica-ath-ck10-portable-in-ear-headphones

I always liked overear headphones due to the sheer amount of bass they can produce, but having read how good IEMs can be these days, i cannot help but want to join the club.   My favourite kind of sound signature is transparent and analytical, i use studio montiors on my stereo for this...

Referred to many stickies and threads in the forum and still really have no idea on what to buy to be honest. If anyone can offer me their help it'd be greatly appreciated. Here's a rundown of what I'm looking for...   - A sub £150 IEM - A focus on overall treble/mids quality but not...

Just wanting to know what people think is the best IEM when it comes to price and performance ratio

Hi all: I'm looking for an IEM. I've read a lot of the multi-IEM posts which have been very helpful, but I haven't been able to decide what I want, because my target isn't exactly a super-neutral sound signature. Target Sound Signature. I have a pair of stock Denon AH-D2000 and I think they're...

Introduction:   First off, thanks to Hifiman for choosing me to be part of the review tour. Thanks also to mukulymn for loaning me his RE262 for an extended time.   But, the IEM couldn't have chosen a busier week to arrive. I could not spend as much time as I wanted with the review...

Hi.   I'm a closet audiophile who's been lurking for quite a while and am now suffering from a dire case of gear lust over the ATH-CK10.   My current IEM is the Klipsch S4i, whose sound is a little muddy for my taste and, after only a year of owning them, whose cables are showing...

I'm quite new to the hobby, having few experience with IEMs (owned 7 and heard a bit more than 10, most mid and low-fi), so maybe I can't provide the most detailed description, neither compare them to other top-tier IEMs. Forgive any grammar errors, I'm pretty poor at writing. Forgive my lack...

I know the last two are not IEM's but they are still options for me and the CK10's are really more of a maybe option only if their reallllyyyyyyyyyy worth the extra money.   I listen to mostly dubstep/RnB/grime/house/electronic and I'm after something that has deep clear bass while still...

Anyone have customs and use them for exercise? The reason I ask is that I've found that with(UM-2/Westone 3) universals I can sweat heavily and retain a good seal as long as I use foam of one sort or another. The silicone tips sound better to me, but the seal is eventually compromised by sweat...

This is not really a review of GR07, it's more of a declaration of love. If you want a typical review, there are at least five others on head-fi that go into the details and use the audiophillic jargon that we're all accustomed to. I'm relatively new to IEMs and I'm not an audiophile by the...

Hey all   so I am looking into getting a decent pair of IEMs, I currently user either my grado sr80i for portable use (open so useless on a train, but love the sound) or my skullcandy FMJ (RUBBISH sound).   I am aiming to spend about $200 USD.   I listen to mostly rock (60-70%)...

Hi guys,   To cut it short, I'm getting the urge to go custom for my portable rig, but the choices stump me. Currently I'm contemplating the Unique Melody Merlin for its hybrid design (I do love the sound of dynamics) but after hearing stuff about its big bass, I'm a little hesistant. I...

  Hi, I'm thinking about combining the CK10 and ER-4 into a single custom IEM, the CK-4.     In other words, the Knowles TWFK along with the ED-29689.   I have two alternatives in mind, and then sub-alternatives.   a) TWFK + sub-bass driver + super-tweeter.   b) TWFK +...

Hello to all fellow Head-Fiers,     I need your advice for buying an IEM.    WhatI have at the moment:    Senn MX980 earbuds - I love them. Neutral and detailed sound. Beyer T1 - love them. Beyer DT1350 - I am not sure about these. Will probably sell them soon because of...

Ok so after wondering why the hell I keep spending  <$100 on IEM I decided to up the budget to around $250 for new IEM.     See my connundrums here: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/556721/phiaton-ps200-questions  ...

Well it's that time. I decided a while back to go over ear and bought a pair of Ultrasone 580's which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I am getting to the point where my MTPG are wearing out..I fear they may break soon (I use em at the gym). Anyway, I listen almost exclusively to Trance, Hardstyle and...

So guys,   When I first listened to my ER4-PT I knew that none of my other IEMs are gonna ever satisfy me now. In the past few weeks I have sold off all my other IEMs: TF10, SE535, CK10, IE7, etc etc...   I love listening to these to sleep. There seems to be no end to the ER4's clarity...

I've only had my GR07s for about 2 months. I don't abuse them, and already I've lost the right channel. I don't know how this happened, but I'm pretty pissed. What could have possibly caused this to happen so soon? Hopefully I can get them replaced.

My shure 210's just crapped out and am looking for a replacement.  I'd really like to make the jump up to a dual (or more) driver iem and am thinking about the Shure 315's, but I thought I'd hear what other people recommend.  I listen to mostly alternative rock (and sometimes a little rap)...

Hello all,    This is my first post and I am quite excited. I have recently forayed into the world of quality audio and it has definetly changed my music listening for good. I am ready to make my first substantial purchase in the field of IEM's and need a bit of guidance. My music listening...

when i plug my ath ck10 into a turned on samsung mp3 player (without playing a music) a noticebly small hissing noise occurs, but when i plug my ck10 into my iphone there are no hissing noise.   does this mean samsung mp3 player has a strong power source which produces the small hissing noise?

I know, I know, another "which IEM I should buy?" thread. I'm aware there is a large thread dedicated for that, but what I'm asking requires a little more than the sound quality descriptions in those threads.   Background: I have owned the Shure E2c, Head-Direct RE0, and the Vsonic GR07. ...

Dear all,   My long-suffering phonaks gave up the ghost today.  Ok, I sat on them.  Either way though, they need replacing.   I enjoyed my phonaks with the black filter most:  I felt the grey didn't give me enough bass, and the bass with the blacks had much better extension and detail. ...

I need an iem which should have more of a soul and convey emotions to me.I should feel strongly connected to music.

Hi all,   I've been using the Sleek Audio SA6 for around three years now. I've always loved this earphone but in that time I think i've replaced the cables around 8 times (constant cracking and snapping)!! I also think that the earphone could be a lot better for my tastes if there was more...
