As a person that loves technology, especially the latest and greatest gadgets, I’m always on the hunt to find things that peak my interest. I had always wanted to take the plunge on some custom in ear monitors. I had been looking for over a year at all different types of custom IEMs; from...

Just wondering how many people use their Custom IEM's for everyday listening? Whether it be on the bus, subway, walking or biking... I want to know! Is it comfortable? Do people look at you funny? Any tips/experiences that you want to share?

I am writing this review in hopes to help anyone who, like me, have been quietly lurking around these forums for info on 1964 ears.      My background:     I am a musician.  I make dance/techno music, I sing, and I've played drums for over 30 years.     I have played...

must be: 1) non-custome 2) single driver (sorry, not a fan of tantalum capacitor cross-overs) 3) good sound isolation (otherwise I'd just use my Stax 001/003) 4) at least as good sounding as the ER4. 5) within $350 budget (new or slightly used).   Thanks for any ideas...

Just lost my klipsch custom 3's and am looking for an upgrade set. i had to use comply tips in order to get these things to fit right in my ear. does anybody have a suggestion for 2 possibly 3 driver earphones that are really durable for the gym? i need something that really stays put in my ear...

Just wondering, Can anyone give a comprehensive list of all custom IEM manufactors? currently I've only heard of two, which are UE 1964 Ears.   Can anyone tell what brands are appreciated by head-fi'ers? I need this information in order to decide which pair of custom IEMs to buy...

Hi All,   I own the ACS T1s which I love, but for a number of reasons I am also considering buying the JH16Pro. I'd like to know from anyone that owns both, what you think the differences are and whether you think I should go for it? Which do you use\favour more often?   Thanks

What are the best custom and universal IEM, if the price doesn't matter?

Hey Everyone,                       I wanted to know if anyone of you has tested any Ear-tips for Earsonics SM3 IEM (other than what comes with the package). I am interested in buying better tips which would keep the sound balance while improving the overall experience. My budget is around $50...

Side Note, I have another thread which I created a few days ago, and it's got a lot of information in it if anyone feels like getting more detail. But for sake of simplicity, I am going to go ahead and ask in this new thread since I've searched and I haven't really found a good comparison of...

So I thought I'd throw the 2011 in the title there since I've been searching thru a lot of good threads on here and it seems like you all really know what you are talking about! However one thing I saw a lot of was that some threads are quite old and I know so many new models of headphones have...

Does anyone have any info where I can obtain some custom foam pads or an alternative silicone insert for the hi-fi man RE-Zero's? I like the headphones allot but the supplied cups don't suit my ears. Thanks

Well, I was happy with Westone's service . . . for awhile. I purchased my UM2s and got great responsiveness and support. Then I tried to get the W4s and it all went south.   First, nothing on their products site states that the 4 is backordered. Only after I ordered and inquired did I find...

Looking to pair a good set of IEM's with my new iPad 2 for travel. Isolation is important. Currently, I have a set of HE-6's at home and a set of Fostex T50RP's at work. Right now I have the Apple BA for travel, which are decent, I guess. I just borrowed a set of Shure SCL-5's from a friend, and...

Hi, As titled, I'm going to venture into the word of customs. But im having doubts on if i should reshell my westone3. I've wanted a JH13 But its way off my budget. So Woud anyone recommend me a good pair of customs that i could get in singapore? Or should i just go ahead and reshell my W3 and...

Hi i'll be in uk when my customs iem are being sent to uk  will there be a charge of vat and duty if i sent it as gift?

Ultimate Ears UE18 Pro Review UE18 Pro with Custom Art - Trans Slate Grey. Click to enlarge. There’s a lack of UE18 reviews. For every thread that mentions the UE18, there are 10 on the JH13/16, so I am going to do a proper review and hopefully do away with the mystical quality on UE’s...

Click on the photo (above) to enlarge.   When Sleek Audio asked me to help them evaluate an upcoming custom IEM (in-ear monitor), I wasn't surprised when they asked me to send them impressions (custom molds) of my ears.  What I was surprised about, however, was the fact that they told me...

Hi Guys,    This has probably been long awaited, but here are the first pictures of the mythical Unique Melody Merlin.   It is a five driver full shell custom, with quad balanced armature drivers to take care of the mids and highs, with a single dynamic driver to handle the lows.  ...

I have a question about JH audio's JH5s vs. JH7s, Just looking at the specs, the JH5s have an input sensitivity of 119dB @ 1mW and the JH7s have an input sensitivity of 124dB@ 1mW. The 7s do have dual low drivers vs the 5s single. SO the question is, having not actually listened to either...

Well, i've reached one of those defining moments in money spending where i have to hold back from becoming a fully fledged upgradaholic for my own sake...  I'm selling all my headphones as i'm now in a position where i can listen to my sound system at will.   Unfortunately I have realised...

I'm thinking of getting clear acrylic customs versus getting a transparent color, because I want to look like a grown-up.   However, I notice that the clear customs I've seen in real life have been ever so slightly less that brightly clear.    And, I've seen people on the boards complain...

Hi guys. I previously owned a TF10, and recently switched to a JH5. I really miss the extended treble on the TF10, which is missing in my JH5. Is there anything I can do about it? Any mobile amps to reccommend to extend the treble? Or will changing the cable help? What else can help me extending...

apart from upper tier headphones / customs, I dont see any use in owning anything else

Kids, stay away from the Westone 4s. They are bad for your wallet as they lead to other things, like customs. I just got the 4s and was not sure what to expect. I am a highly evolved basshead who started with juvenile ears craving Superfi 5 EB-like bass, but slowly grew opposable thumbs and...
