And not sub-$1000 budget either.  Just wondering if i've missed some manufacturers that offer this configuration.  Specifically i'd like to have a high, mid, low driver.  That's probably wishfull thinking though.

Im wondering headphones and earphones at the same price rang, which one gives better sound quality? Which one gives deeper bass?

what do they sound like?

I was looking at upgrade cables for my IE8 and saw this   http://cgi.ebay.com/Pro-Upgrade-Cables-Hera-UE-Shure-280-450-800-650-/220783845050?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item3367be1eba#ht_1465wt_1141   It uses the specs for Nordost Valhalla speaker cable and even mentions...

This is my first post, so firstly I apologize if this has been discussed before. I did a search and didn't see any direct comparisons, so I figured I would create a new thread and get some feedback.   I am looking for a nice set of IEMs to replace my old Klipsch Custom 3's that I returned...

sup guys   I find myself in this situation yet again, searching for a pair of perfect IEMS - and I've finally come to the conclusion that I will need to try a pair of customs   So, here are my choices:   JH Audio JH13/J16 Pro Custom In-Ear Monitors   Yup. I've pretty much got...

Hi there,   been reading a bunch and now I want to ask a more specific question. I'm a guitarist both in clubs and church. I have experience with Shure E2's and E5's and for the past 6 months or so I've been using Westone UM2's. The Westone's are a vast improvement over either Shure model...

Just lost (got stolen) my beloved Senn IE8's. I will miss the two wonderful years I had with them.   Now, I have Decided that it is time to look into set of customs.   My budget is about $700 including impression and shipping and the whole deal.    Last time I looked into some...

Hmm im sitting here with my ear impressions after getting my triple fi 10 remould and adding two drivers ,i was wondering would they work well as a ear plug as in for like loud places like djing in clubs or contruction site in comparison to proper custom ear plugs or the plugs you get on planes. ?

I recently got a pair of DBA-02's and they are by far the best IEM's that I've ever owned. I love the sound - its just so balanced. I'm not very good at describing sound so please don't ask me to haha. Before I got these I was also planning on getting a pair of customs and was considering the...

Kudos to JH Audio on gettting it right a 3rd straight time on each custom I have ordered from them.  JH5, JH13 and now JH16.  It is a nice sigh of relief when they fit perfect.  For some reason I slightly preferred the fit of my JH5 over the JH13 so I sent the JH5 in for them to model the fit...

I currently have a pair of UE700's and am thinking of upgrading in the relative future. One question that's sort of caught me is whether to go with a high-end universal-fit IEM or spend about the same, maybe a bit more, for a low-end custom-fit IEM.   For example, the Shure SE535's will run...

http://www.wickeddigital.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=joomlaplates.tpl&product_id=767&category_id=16&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53   Saw some other threads on FAD - not exactly a HF favourite apparently, but who the hell could afford to find out ? btw, that price is...

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

I've butchered up my ADDIEMs, torn apart the earphones completely and got my hands on these little gems..     Anyhow, who should I send them to for custom moulds? Last time I was still active on Head-fi, only UM and Fischer Audio (sp?) do "custom customs".   Not only do I need to...

    INTRO   It seems fairly clear that the market for custom molded in ear monitors has really taken off over the last few years. I was just reading an old thread from 2007 where somebody was discussing their options for getting into customs: At the time the available models were in the...

As of today,   What is currently the best IEM in production?  Obviously it will not be a universal answer (pun:-), but with the contendors   JH13, JH16, UE18, UE's In-Ear Reference, and Westone's ES5 amongst others....   Which is currently considered the best of the best by yourself...

    Frankly ... they sound like ass ..      Ok heres the background.. Ive been using IEM's for a couple of years ... and my daily IEM are UE Triple Fi 10 Pros .. which are arguably the most well rounded non custom  IEM around. The source is my Zune HD and they drive the IEMS ok. A few...

oh, head-fi you continue to hurt my wallet....   So within the last 2 months I've started working on my portable gear. I've bought a nano 6th gen which lead to TF10's which lead to a Cowon J3 which lead to a UM3X   Currently I've been left wondering what the upgrade path from the UM3X...

Does the sound signature get retained or maybe improve?  I know Isolation should improve(I can predict sound stage getting wider as a result of the deep insertion), but I'm afraid of headphone becoming degraded because its being modified from the factory condition.   Doesn't custom IEM...

So, my main reason that I tried IEM's in the first place was because I could not get earbuds to stay in my ears at all. It's pretty bad to the point if I tilt my head to the side they will fall out.   I made this poll to see what percentage of people they actually fit.   I'm talking...

Hi,   I'm new to the forums, but I have been here and there looking around the forums at a lot of very interesting post.  I recently have decided to buy my first mid-range to high-end IEMs.  I have read numerous post on the forums which state that the quality of custom IEMs in most cases are...

Etymotic has added Microsonic as a mold lab partner, in the US, for their custom fit program.   Has anyone had experience with Microsonics?   While ACS is their original world-wide partner, in the New York City area, they have 4 Microsonic associated audiologists vs. 1 ACS audiologist.    ...

Hey guys, I just sent off my impressions to JH Audio.  Hopefully they'll get them tomorrow.  But anyways, once I get the earphones, how will I know when I have the perfect seal?  It's my first time buying custom iem's.   Will it feel like nothing's there?  If it were perfect, would I be able...

*TL;DR Version at Bottom*   I was looking around the market and was very surprised by how many makers of custom IEMs there are at the present time. I have been looking to replace my faithful Shure SE530s but wanted something with a better fit and isolation that could still be considered...
