Hi,   Looking for suggestions for top grade IEM's for mainly use out and about, as opposed to at home.   I listen to a lot of electronic dance music (from Faithless to Hard Trance DJs) and occasionally hard metal (i.e. Rammstein) and am looking for deep yet punchy bass.    Will most...

Hi Guys,   Last year, I got myself a pair of Ultimate Ears 5 Pros (Custom) and I love 'em. Only problem is that I like listening to music at work. Some days, I have to speak a lot to people, and it gets to be quite uncomfortable to keep removing & putting them back on. So I was thinking of...

Hi fellows, may I know if there are any companies that offer to produce custom artwork on custom IEMS after they are made? i.e. Sleek Audio? Actually, I do not even know if Sleek Audio still offer this service (had emailed them). Will appreciate any input regarding this topic, e.g. feedback from...

Hey everyone!   I currently have a Senniheiser IE8 and I think it's starting to die and I will need to retire it soon!  (L&R are not balanced, volume sensitivity lowered) I am looking into the custom in ear monitors for a new experience, which models would you guys recommend for one who is...

Just curious.  Any sources?  Thanks.

Okay, the best IEM's I ever had were the Sleek SA6's, I loved those. I most currently bought some Phonak Audeo's, but the eartips did not stay on and I've lost them. I'm not looking to replace the eartips as I didn't really care for them that much. But according the filters of the Phonak's, I...

So after gushing over the famed durability of my CK10's, murphy's law struck and my dog got ahold of them.  Pulled them right off the nightstand while I was watching TV with the wife in bed.   He has a taste for foam eartips, so far this is the third set of IEMs that he's eaten.  First was...

  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 am curious to know how the artwork is done on the faceplate of custom IEMs.  I know some methods are to laser engrave and then paint over it, but what about full sized prints that you see on some faceplates.  Is this just done by a special printer?  If so which kind? Or is another more...

Hi guys,   So I'm an Australian currently in the market for customs (with a budget of roughly 600).   I have my eyes on 2 products, the 1964 Ears's Quads OR Unique Melody's Aero   I have no experience with customs so I was just wondering if I could just get a few questions answered...

I've recently been through quite a few pairs of universal IEMs - UM3X, Monster Miles Davis, e-Q7 and JVC FX700. They all had something I enjoyed, but none of them were quite there for me. I like a good deal of immediacy (like my single-ended valve hi-fi at home), with reasonable bass response...

Hey guys Might come up on some extra change in a couple of weeks, and was considering getting some portable cans. First off, let me tell you that I am planning on building a high performance amb mini3(gain of 2). I was considering sennheiser hd-25-1 ii's, but i love the sound of my kc3's(and i...

  It looks interesting. I might try it with my pfe. What do you guys think?

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

i've been look at these custom IEM's and the custom tips for etymotic IEM's and have been wondering which is more comfortable.   right now i have it down to the jh audio jh5 or the ety er4s with custom tips. i think the ety's are silicone.   have any of you had both the new ety custom...

Hi Head fi,   I have been reading this board for a while and have found lots of usefull information so I thought I would try to give something back!   I recently had the chance to audition some of the new unique melody in ear “Universal custom” earphone demo’s.  Here are some...

I tried searching for JH 13/16 users that listen to my type of music but I couldn't find any posts so I decided to start a new thread.    Anyway, I was deciding between the 16's and the 13s but jumped on the jh13 deal last thursday.  i listen to mainstream music, usually hip hop, r/b, and...

I need a excellent portable amp for my custom pro 18's because my SE-ARC does not provide that much power to my headphones.

Long time lurker here, decided to finally break down and get a pair of customs. They just arrived, and they sound great, but I think something feels off. How are they supposed to fit? Everyone I read says that they don't even feel like they're there, but I can tell. On the other hand, all that I...

I love listening to music, all kinds. So much so that I was convinced there was a holy grail, I mean just spend a month or so reading reviews about which IEM, DAP, headphone, ad nauseum and finally you just need to do some experimenting on yourself to see what you like best. Most of my stuff is...

Hello,   A few years ago I purchased UM2s and I was quite pleased with them. However, my cable broke recently, and the warranty has expired.   I sent an email to the Dutch distributor, but replacing the UM2 cables would cost me at least €65 ($95), with the possibilty of that becoming...

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...

  As a fan of audio gear and owner of several high-end headphones, I was also selected to be one of the reviewers of the Monster Turbine Pro Copper iems.  The design goal of these headphones is high accuracy/fidelity, which might not appeal to bassheads, fans of euphonic music, etc. but it is...

I have nothing better to do so I went through the appreciation thread again and fished out all those posts that contain pictures and repost it here for those who wants to see them but don't want to comb through the entire thread. From what I see: 1. All went for transparent/translucent...
