Hi. Been inactive on the head-fi forum for a couple of years now, but thought I´d check back here for suggestions on getting a serious in ear headphone (budget not over 5-600$ :) ).   A little history... I had a pair of Ety ER-4P like five years ago, but had to sell them due to low cash...

Hopefully you know the 'Tx' series comply tips with integrated wax guards I'm talking about...   Do they cause muting of the treble and enhancment of bass?   Comply *claims* they're 'acousticlly transparent'. But surely that can't be the case.   So how much DO they change the sound...

Hello everyone,   I have been lurking the forums for quite some time and finally decided to join because of a pressing issue. I have decided, after much reading, to take the plunge and get custom molds for my Etymotic ER4-P IEMs. I have been having problems getting a good seal on my right...

Just got my new SE535s today and I spent the last hours trying on the different tips.   I think I´ve found my favorites with the yellow foamies. They just feel the least intrusive while still making an excellent seal. I get the feeling that the olives block the nozzle just a little bit when...

JH13 Pro is known for its naturalness and UE10 Pro for its flat response. Does UE In-ear Reference beat JH13 Pro and UE10 Pro in terms of accuracy? I currently own the UE18 Pro which is very good but on the fun side - just wondering which of JH13 Pro, ES5 and the UE Reference will be a better...

I recently damaged the right angle plug on my ER4-P's and am trying to decide what to do. I do not have access to soldering materials since I am at school but was wondering if anyone knew of a business or head-fi member that may be able to reterminate my earphones.

I have $500 budget and have been reading over 20000 posts for a month now and still can't decide.  I know it will be the biggest price ticket earphone I commit into.  I'm currently use Etymotic HF3 for my iPhone but sometimes the sound is not quite what I expected.  It is a bit more tiring after...

I know - kinda apples and oranges - hard to compare over the ear headphones with in ear phones.  But there are times when the portability of the in ear headphones is desirable, along with their superior noise isolation.  e.g. Listening to headphones in public, I want something more discrete than...

I am speechless... I lost two pairs of ER-4P... Went for a RE-0, didn't like it. Bought another pair...got it today in mail...   I switched to the shure oliver form, but I put the wrong size... Then when I try to remove it, i twisted it bit too hard...now, I broke it...   How can I get...

Im bored at work with about 30 minutes until I get off so I thought Id post something random.   If you were stuck on a desert island and had to choose one..   1. IEM 2. Portable DAP 3. CD (Name artist and title) 4. Food   ..what would it be :D

Hello.   I have a dilemma here: I'm not sure whether, for my Samsung P3, I should acquire a pair of ER-4Bs or ER-4Ps. I've seen reviews of both, but I don't understand if the ER-4Bs can actually do well on a portable device (I know the 4Ps can...), but I've read that they have even more...

Hi , l've been doing heaps of research here and have narrowed down my choices to these iem's. To me they are all roughly around the same purchase price...the hje900 here in oz is expensive..the rest listed l can buy from OS so relative to that. l'm just running an ipod 4g and soon an iphone4...

Hey everyone, I have used this site for awhile researching for headphones.  I originally wanted a set of on ear headphones, and through researching on this site i came up with & bought the Denon AH-D1001.  Now my hobby is expanding and I really want/need a set of IEM's. I mainly listen to...

http://yogi-computers.com/headphonesetymotic.html   Since DBA-02's are no where to be found, I am interested in er-4p's.   This website is selling them for $178.50, while the rest of the internet is offering them for $250 plus. The website doesn't offer any names or contact information...

Which would be better - Isolation is just as important as SQ for me...   I did a search before but none of the results dealt with these two specifically in this regard...   I have not had any previous IEMs   Also I don't want to use an AMP   Thanks!

Alright so i currently have been looking for some iem's to use with my droid x while im at school and walking. I listen to mostly Electro, Dnb, Dubstep, Nu-rave, etc but i do listen to a decent amount of indie and alternative. I need them to be pretty sound isolating and i can't have them leak...

Been on a bit of an IEM tear lately after a LONG hiatus. Decided this eve to dig out all the 'phones I have and check 'em out as well as get familiar with the MD Tributes and decide if I want to keep 'em or not. In the case of the J2 and the Tributes, they're not broken in (yet). The others have...

I have a feeling that its not just the tips that you use...I was thinking about getting the dba-02 and putting the ety triple flange tips on them - wouldn't I then be getting the same isolation as the er 4Ps give? thanks

Hi!  I am new to these forums as a poster, but I have been a lurker for a while.  I tend to research a lot before dedicating to a particular purchase, and I have found that I make better decisions by doing just that.  However, I am stuck between five main sets of IEMS, and I really could use...

I am looking for recommendations for a desktop amp and headphone setup for mainly listening to electronica (drum & bass, trance/techno, some ambient and some electro-pop).   The source will either be a PC/Mac output or an iPod.   I currently have: - Etymotic ER4P - Sennheiser HD25-1...

My iPod along with my ER-6i's got stolen recently. I will be buying the new Classic 120GB and I am also looking for new IEM's. I was pretty happy with the 6i's. I am wondering if I should spend almost twice the amoung and go for the 4P's. I am concerned about the output level, seems to be a...

Hi all,   Was wondering if adding a P-S coverter to the HF5 will have the same effect as adding P-S coverter to the ER4p since they use the same drivers.

Hey all, I need some help, I'm guessing quite a few people here will have a bit if knowledge about headphones, this is why I've just joined this forum, it seems incredibly helpful and knowledgable. I've tried reading up on the forums for advice but i just keep going in circles and no one has...

At the moment i have some Sennheiser CX 270's and i'm wanting to upgrade to a decent set of earphones (wanting to spend around £130).   I've been looking around, reading different reviews etc and i've narrowed my choice down to 3. The Etymotic Research ER-4P's, Phonak Audeo PFE 112's and the...

I have some Sennheiser HD25s on the way and I really want to keep the functionality of using a mic so I can accept phone calls without taking off my cans.  I simply need the one button setup.   I saw the Shure's for 40, but I was wondering if there were any other alternatives.   The...
