Gents,   I'm on a custom IEM quest. (full ear molds - no buds) Would like some opinions on which comes closest to the balanced sound of Senn 600's    BALANCE being paramount.   Thanks for your input    

Hi, Since both are made pretty close to where I live I was wondering if anyone has heard both demos of these? At this time my preference is on the es5 because of its standard soft housing and the fact that it is made in the country where I live. Thankd in advance for any information, Greetings...

I am thinking about plunging into the world of custom IEMs. The type of sound I like is mellow, yet detailed, with a bit of a good bass punch. Something along the lines of Senn HD650s or Shure se530 (but a little more treble than the Shures). What do you all suggest with a similar sound...

Aye guys, just stumbled across this site and it's fantastic! =)   I'm currently on a hunt for IEM's around the $350-$450 USD range (I'd like to spend more but I just shelled out for new gear) for DJING. Headphones don't provide the isolation and protection I require (I cue / mix in my...

I guess that many of you who own custom IEMs have also some experience with full size headphones. Can you give me some idea, how they compare in terms of sounstage size?     It will be nice to see general comparisons, but if you can compare specific brands/models that would be appreciated...

Hey guys   I currently have a pair of TripleFi 10s that I need for drumming and listening to rock and alternative.   I want to take the next step and get a pair of customs but just need a hand choosing the right one for a good price (either new custom and sell my TF10 or reshell).  Since...

I am considering 1964-q but 46 Ohms impedance worries me. Can iPhone 4 drive this in-ears or would need an amp? For 500 bucks a real steal, but if had to spend another 250 for an amp, I may be better with JH11 (for 850 though).     Has anyone tried 1964-q with an iPhone (or iPod Touch or...

  Hi, I found this brand on the list of custom iem manufacturers thread and got curious because I had never heard about them and I am living in Europe. Their site seems to be down though. Has anyone ever dealt with them or heard their custom products? I wonder if they are comparable to...

Hi I want a pair of JH5 pro but I am only 14. Would you recommend customs to a person this age?

Hi, I am looking for custom iems that I can get here in Europe. As with westone I have to go through a dealer, westone is on my list because they are also being made in Europe so my impressions wont have to be sent to the usa. I am wondering if this is the seem for ultimate ears iems or will my...

I picked these up a week ago and have been listening to them fairly exclusively ever since. I put off a review until I'd had a chance to get over the gee-whiz, new toy period and had a chance to listen to a variety of different music. I'm relatively new to this hobby. Most of my gear is...

Hey Everyone,     (Posting in this forum because I believe the customs would be the most influential/important component of the upgrade. I have tried to do as much reading as I could on the forums but everyone says everything is good, so here I am.)     Sort of disappeared from...

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?

First off, I'd like to point out that the 1964-T is my first set of in-ear monitors (iem’s), so I can only compare to the full-size headphones that I own (namely Grado SR-80i and AKG k701). That said I’m fairly confident that I know what sounds good to me, however, if you disagree with my...

Feel free to Post Pics 

mhm , title. I see tons of people babying their customs alot, and I myself do that in excess sometimes. But really, what makes a custom anymore fragile than say the usual IEM? I mean the acrylic is actually pretty thick as compared to some iem shells.   The only difference is that the...

Dear Head-Fiers, A friend of mine needs a hearing aid. He got problems with it. The audiologist  first tried an Universal IEM, later on a Custom IEM. In both cases he (the audiologist) drilled a second hole through the tip to avoid air pressure in the ear canal.  I have never heard of a second...

I'm a first time poster, HI! I got my ears molded by an audiologist in january...shipped off my molded to alienears and got my custom monitors a couple of weeks later.  I sent alienears a brand new set of UE triple.fi 10s to remold.   I've noticed recently that the balance has shifted...

Hello everybody,   I own Klipsch Custom3 earphones, and I really love their sound. Problem is, the cord is crap and even after getting new ones, the cord started to wear in less than 3 months of occasional use.   What I liked in the Custom3 sound is that it was a very dynamic sound...

I've been getting more into music since I had my vision ruined by a couple of eye surgeries. I probably spend about 5 hours a day listening. I am currently running a 4G ipod touch and Fiio E7 using a Fiio LOD. Until today I had been using a $3 pair of wicked buds that I got from woot. Today I...
