Hi guys, I was checking the red dot design award website and found this.   AKG K545 http://red-dot.de/pd/online-exhibition/work/?lang=en&code=2013-17-7438&y=2013&c=165&a=0   Anyone ever heard of it?   I am not sure if it is the problem with the image or what, it seems to has a...

Hi Headfiers! I start this topic because I am curious how older models perform compare to newere ones. There are some model like the sennheiser cx 95 or cx550, denon ah c 551, klipsch image s4, shure se 215,   which were very popular a few years ago. Is there anybody who try to compare them to...

Hello all, first post..   I recently picked up a pair of K550 factory refurbished phones and thought they had potential. I generally liked the overall signature, but as many others report I found the bass light. I ALSO was not overly impressed with the sound stage. I spent about a week...

My C551Ks sadly died on me the other month -- I get no audio from one of the ears. They worked out perfectly for me. Isolated well, but not too much; I need to be able to hear if there's an announcement on the train. Great sound. Most importantly, very comfortable. I tried the ER6i at one point...

If anyone didn't notice it yet, hisound is having a promotional offer on their Popular iems   http://www.head-fi.org/t/625100/hisound-s-popular-iems-80-off-for-supporting-our-dealer-s-new-ebay-store   I kno some of you have ordered a pair of these earphones and I want to hear your...

Why the AKG K271 MKII is an exceptional safe-lab headphone: The Short Version™ Comfortable enough that I can wear them for a long time Isolating enough that you won’t hear the drone around you Ugly enough that they won’t be stolen Cheap enough that they can be stolen Nice looking enough...

can anyone suggest a good pair of phones for under £40 they have to be either earbuds or in-ear, music types:   rock metal chill   they need to have a decent bass response..   all suggestions welcom!

EDIT: Actually the thread is perhaps a misnomer. I'm not upgrading at all, but looking for a replacement.   I was lucky enough to own these once, but they died an untimely death. I loved the sound signature and the price point, but wondering if there is something similar on the market at a...

Edit: I've since discovered MEElectronics, which are earning excellent reviews... does anyone own the M21, M31, or CW31? I don't think Meelec was around the last time I wanted new IEMs, but any thoughts on M21 vs. M31 vs. CW31?

I currently own Denon AH-C551K IEMs, and I'm a big fan of them, but I've been thinking about upgrading eventually. I've been eying up some of the Etymotic Research models, do you guys think it would be worth upgrading to something by them? I haven't decided on a specific model yet, as I'm unsure...

I am looking for some IEM's that are not dependent of the fit to sound good. I bought some Meleec M6's for sleeping but found they way to fit dependent and I was constantly fiddling with them to make the sound good. I'm looking to spend around $40 and I like deep, impactful bass with neutral mids. 

I've just bought myself a pair of Meelectronics HT-21 cans, and although they sound great from a 6G 120GB iPod Classic; i've wanted to buy aportble amp for a while and do not have a clue where to start. Any ideas would be muchly appreciated.  

Hello all, I have only posted a couple of times on here after first coming across the site when I was looking to upgrade from my Denon AH-C551 earphones which replaced my stock Apple buds.   After looking at a multitude of reviews I eventually went for a set of Superfi 5 Pros, and as the...

My c551s, which I've had for the past year and a half, died two days ago :(. The left phone's connection went dead, but the right one still works. Listening to music with one ear feels like you're only getting 20% of the experience of both ears. :/   I got the denon's at a pretty good price...

I had a Sony MDR-7506 for listening music with laptop. Now, I am going to buy an earphone. After I read some articles about earphone from some forums. I know that AH-C551, AH-C751 are suitable with almost style of music.   My budget is less than 160 USD. Could you give me recommendation ...

Headphone history Rubbish iPod headphones Sennheiser CX300 Precision II CX400 Precision II's Sennheiser HD201     So, the last pair of headphones I had were the CX400's which I bought for around £30. I lost them.   I gave my CX300's to my sister. So basically, the only...

Hi, Yesterday, I bought a Sunrise SW-Xcape from Bugdenaudio for no reason lol (totally impulse buy) and I am wondering how long do they usually take to ship the IEM to USA? I have never bought from them before and just want to know the time range they shipped their IEM from Canada.   Thank you

Hey guys, I was looking around for a headphone great for classical indian music (sarangi and such) and wanted something really clear and crisp for it but still have the bass for the drums. An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ebWcq3Jkiw&feature=related . Would you recommend I go for a...

Right now, I'm using the Ultimate Ears Super-fi.3. The sound is a little too bland for me, and I would prefer something else. I used to have Denon AH-C551 which broke, but I liked that sound better than the Ultimate Ears.   I just bought a new iPod touch 32GB and I thought I would buy new...

Just picked up a pair of C551's and I can't complain. But I was wondering how they stack up the the V-Moda Vibe... vibes are marketed more effectively obviously. Apple's website doesn't even carry Denon products. Amazon doesn't have a stock image for the c551... etc Both phones are...

Hey guys I'm sure you get a lot of these but I really need help finding new phones. I currently have hippo shroom ebs but I think it's time for an upgrade. Now $80 is really my limit but if the headphones are a little over (or less!) thats fine. And I don't really have a preference on whether...

The eartips that come with the Denon AH-C551Ks do not fit me at all so I'm looking for some recommendations for replacements. The etymotic 6i dual flange eartips work perfect but don't come close to fitting on the Denons.   Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

So basically i've been constantly researching for some proper bassey low profile iem's. Ideal for very heavy dubstep. Narrowed it down to the S4's, C551's and EB900's. I've always been interested in the more expensive option of the hje900 and more recently been dragged into liking the monster...
