hi, im new here and i'm ready to "burn my wallet" well, not so much as i'm still new :) anyway i've got some question and need some recommendations, so please guide me here.   i have few audio source , it's not high end just normal audio source, i still don't know which one will give me...

Intro With so many budget IEMs around, it's hard to pick one out from the crowd as even a "starter." There are just too many from the major brands alone - Etymotic, Shure, Ultimate Ears, Westone - let alone the IEMs from other vendors like JAYS, V-Moda, CrossRoads Mylarone, etc. So when I set...

I just acquired a new pair of ATH-CK7's canalphones. Right out of the package I put them in my ears, turned on the iPod/Tomahawk and Bam! Muddy bloated bass and a no extension high end. The highs sounded like the V-Moda Vibes I used to own where I had to boost the treble on my iPod just to make...

Hi i have a CK7 & i love it alot. But i see alot of people mentioning the Sound Magic Professional Earphones. Are these Sound Magic Earphones better sounding than my beloved CK7's? Thanx All.

Hi everybody,   I'm looking for a new pair of In-Ears. As an Audio-Technica-Fanboy I choosed the CK7. Do they make a good job with Metal stuff like Death, Black, Heavy, Power, Progressive, etc.?

Hi fellow Head-Fi forumers!   I've been lurking the forum on and off for a few years now, always leeching reviews and recommendations, but never really contributing anything myself. It was thanks to you all that I purchased my first set of decent cans a few years ago (ATH-A700), and I'm...

Just entered the club of electret ownership with an ATH-7 headphone and exciter set for $43US. I replaced the pads with cushy pleather ones from an XB300 clone. The bass quality did improve, but the headphones still struggle with any post 1990s synthetic sub-bass. I have them running through a...

I lost my left original rubber tip on a plane earlier this weekend, so I'm looking for replacement.   I was honestly okay with the standard rubber tips -- does anyone know where I can get replacements? I saw that audiocubes sells tips for the ck-7, but I'm not sure if those will fit the CK10.

My pair of ATH-CK7's died on me. I'm going to try to get it serviced since its still under warranty but incase they don't cover it, are there any other headphones out there that are similar in sound to these? Preferably under $100

Which would you buy?   The Phiaton is $144 with shipping, and the ATHCK7 is $110 with shipping.    I'm mainly looking for durability, and since the AT's are made out of titanium, they should be pretty durable. However, according to a Head-fi search, the Phiaton is pretty durable too.  ...

Wanted to pick up some more tips for my CK10's, and didn't know what I should be looking for.  Will the Comply's for the CK7's work?  What kinds are good to pair with these IEM's?  Are custom molded ear pieces worthwhile, or do they not offer a sufficient seal?

Hello all   Apologies in advance if I use any technical terms in completely the wrong context...   I would like to narrow down a search for a good pair of in ear monitors anywhere between £50 and £150. Its not particularly the price i'm interested in but sound quality / value. I have...

Ok I did some reading and research and came up with a list.  Want a good quality in ear for around $100.  High bass isn't the biggest thing, more of a concern might be canceling outside wind noise when riding. Was looking at the following:   Brainwavz M2 Audio Technica Ath ck7 NuForce...

Hi everyone,   I wanted your take on what IEM was the most comfortable you've had and the worst one.   Basically, I believe that I've had a bad experience with my UE SuperFi 4 IEM.  I tried all the silicone tips and the foam tips and ended up using the foam ones.   What I found is...

I'm looking to buy some IEMs. I will probably get them from headphonics. I am looking to spend $100 (Australian) give or take a bit. The main reason I'm getting them is so I can listen to lectures on my long train ride to and from uni. Obviously a cheaper pair would be okay for that as long as...

I posted this in the DR150 thread: Quote: Originally Posted by niko-time Oooo, I have just received my Goldring GX200. Lovely pronounced bass (if sometimes slightly over-pronounced) and pretty good everything else plus a slight dark side to it which I love; it makes these phones fun...

i have a little list of iems that i can buy from my country, all of them for about 80~100$, and even throught i have read a lot i still don't have the money to buy all of them, can anyone help?...   the iems are jvc-ha-fx-300-re, audio-technica-ath-ck7, pioneer-se-clx60, sennheiser CX870...

Recently I've been looking at buying these. They are only ~$75 and got very good reviews on Amazon, but I can't seem to find anything on them. They would be replacing my default Apple earbuds. I'm primarily looking at either these or the typical RE0, but I've heard the RE0 has some...

As the headline says: My CK7's broke (connection died at the strain protector on right cable), and my budget says: SoundMAGIC PL21 SoundMAGIC PL30 SoundMAGIC PL50 (I understand that the PLx's have quite different sound profiles?) Brainwavz M1 Brainwavz M2 Brainwavz AlphaPro Maybe...

Perhaps not that recently, my father misplaced my Cowon D2 and ATH-CK7s.  I'm currently using a Cowon S9 and the Meelectronics M9's.   From my initial readings, the sound of both seems to be light in the bass department, detailed, and analytical.   Could someone elaborate on the nuances...

Does the Panasonic Panasonic RP-HJE900 Zirconia's earphone have the same V signature that the Audio Technica CK7 have (which i love so much)???   Also i read their is a problem with filters falling out is this still true or had the problem been fixed?   Thank You All.  

I lurked a small bit on this forum about a year ago to come to the conclusion that I wanted to buy a set of ATH-CK7 then through more searching I got a set of Comply tips.   However over time I notice the comply tips get rather grim, and sometimes they just fall out.   Do you have any...

I liked the sound on my CK7's a lot and would just get a new pair, but all else being equal, I think I'd like IEM's with a slightly bigger soundstage.   I'm looking at the Panasonic HJE900's, Brainwavz M2, Etymotic MC5 as possible replacements, though welcome other suggestions. Can anyone...

Hello, I've been using the CK7 since September last year; and while the sound signature has grown on me, I am looking for something with a smoother presentation. The CK7 have brilliant highs, but I find that most of the time, its presentation is razor sharp is essentially quite harsh for some...

Just after a few days of purchasing the CK10 (and waiting for it to arrive)...my less-than-a-year-old pair of CK7 has lost playback in the right channel.   Strange - my RE2 broke in the right channel. My ED136 broke in the right channel...and my CK7 broke in the right channel.   I got...
