To all who have purchased the Little Dot MK IV SE into the USA, how much was the Import Duty?  How does the process work?  Is it held in customs for a long time or is a quick process?   Thanks.

Like title states wonder if this would be possible or overkill?  What do you guys think?

Hey guys,   I decided I've fooled around long enough with universals. I've tried almost every style of IEM (shallow vs. deep insert) and can't seem to find one that fits my ears, particularly the right one. So I've decided the only logical route would be customs.   However, I do realize...

I'm planning to reshell my triple.fis and am wondering whether its worth shelling out the extra cash to add a driver to make it a quad driver per side CIEM.   Anyone that has added drivers would care to share the sonic differences before and after the addition of the driver?

Well being a student, I'd like to save some money wherever possible. I'm now planning to get Heir Audio's 3.A and was wondering between making my own impressions versus going to an audiologist in London. Things in the city are never cheap so obviously I'd want to make my own impressions.   I...

What is the difference between custom and universal fit in-ear headphones?

  Clear Tune Monitors operates out of Orlando, Florida, with a half dozen auxiliary offices open throughout Europe and South America. Compared to some of the other customs manufacturers discussed on Head-Fi, CTM is a fairly large outfit with professional clients all over the world. The company...

Hi   I recently got the apple in ear headphones and none of the ear pieces really fits and I was wondering if you I can get custom made ear pieces for them.   I'm new to IEM and the whole custom thing and googleing that stuff confused me a bit - I don't think I need $500+ IEMs (yet)...

Hello everyone,   I have been using the UE TF10 vi for about a year now - sound quality is best I've heard in IEMs, and I couldn't be happier with them. One thing I've always wanted though, is a set of good customs. Being way out of the price range I could afford, this desire has mostly...

Hi, I'm thinking about upgrading from my Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 (I use an Apple iPod Nano --> Sendstation Pocketdock line out --> NuForce Icon --> UE TF10). I like the TF10 A LOT better than my previous Shure SE115, which sounded comparatively VERY muddy and bass-heavy. My preference in...

There was a thread like this a long time ago but could not find it. SO here it is . Lets see your custom iems.

OK I'm not sure which one  to get i need help guys and gals I'M a performing musician in gospel music, would use them on stage and in church Sunday morning. I play pretty big venues so equipment it would be connected to would be pretty good so I need your opinions on what I should do?    

I am a recent purchaser of two custom IEMs, the UE11 and ES2, made by Ultimate Ears and Westone, respectively. Both have some fit issues: One of the Westone earpieces extends too far from my ear, and one of the UE11 earpieces does not allow a good seal. The finish on the UE11s was sub-par as...

My portable source is a MacBookAir 11inch 2011 playing ALAC via Decibel. My portable headphones are Earsonics SM3. I listen most to Rock, Hardrock, Progressive, Pop, HipHop and Jazz (relevance descending order)   What should I put between the source and the headphones to improve sq and...

Hey Guys,   My pair of Klipsch Custom 2s is starting to fall apart (it's had a pretty good run compared to most other stories I have heard) and I am not sure if I should get a custom re-shell or a whole new pair. I usually use them with my 5th gen iPod on the bus (although i'll probably use...

  I have spent hours and hours reading postings and reviews and am just looking for suggestions on the best, economical custom in-ear monitor. I am thinking probably duals would be good? I currently have a pair of Shure E3s that I like.   I play in an acoustic duo (guitar and ukulele) and...

Jerry Harvey Audio JH16 Review: 8 drivers of fun     Jerry Harvey Audio is one of the most popular custom IEM brands on head-fi, if not the most popular.  They are also very popular outside of head-fi with the professional musician crowd, more than likely because the company was founded...

Anyone else notice this?   As much as a try to find the "best," "most fitting," or otherwise "ideal" earphone out there, I keep finding myself wanting a range of products.  It's not so much that I prefer different products for different genres.  It's simply that no one product offers the...

Hiya, i'm using the Thinksound TS02s with the tri-flange tips that came with my MEElectronics M6. As soon as I put these things in my ears they start to itch like crazy. I can stand it for around 10 - 20 mins before I go and scratch them, I look like an idiot whenever I do this and it feels so...

I'm jumping into the custom monitor pond after a long wait.  I've narrowed it down to the above three companies as all three have similar products at similar prices.  Right kinda leaning towards the 1964's with the LiveWires as a close second.    I'm looking for actual experiences with these...

Hey guys,   Im interested in buying some custom in ear monitors and was wondering if you could offer some reccomendations.   My budget is around $700 or so.   I have been looking at the 1964-Q's and they look pretty decent, but any feedback/advice is appreciated.   Thanks.
