Anyone got any pictures of the earphones being on?  I need to know how much they stick out as i will be wearing my motorcycle helmet over these (if i buy them lol). Also the different buds they come with? Google images don't seem to be helping much in terms of  *not being vague" haha.

My budget is <100 dollars. I listen to 35 percent classical music(including orchestral works,woodwind concertos ,opera) 35 percent rock( classical + alternative) 25 percent hip hop(rap) 5 percent other( electronic, trance, metal). Basically i've narrowed my choices down to the MC5, HSJE900s...

I have some replacement RE0s coming, but I was looking for other suggestions outside of the RE0. I gather the RE0s I get will just fail in under a year (sorry).     - Head-Direct RE0 own - Sunrise SW-Xcape v1 bought - Fischer Audio Silver Bullet rev 2 bought - ECCI PR401 bought...

Hi guys,   It's been a while since I've been on here, but since getting back into school, I've become a lot more dependant on mobile headphones. I listen to music more frequently now, but most of my listening happens when I'm away from home, in between classes, or just 'going somewhere'...

PREFACE:  Each one of these IEMs is fantastic in their own right.  I could easily be happy listening to any one of them if they were the only IEM I had.  The point of the review is to help people find the phone that best matches their needs and wants.  It's not about saying X>Y>Z, etc.  ...

what are the best <100$ IEM for classical music? i also listen to rnb and rock...

I have seen a few posts on Klipsch Custom 3 here, but I cannot make out if they're good value at $109 or not. I am aware of the cable issue with them, but in temrs of sound, they seem to get rated along side TF-10, SE530 and some of other more expensive phones.   I owner ER6i, and am looking...

Hello everyone. Last week, my trusty shure E3 broke after 4 years of loyal service, (the left one plays the music half as loud, and from the looks fixing the problem would cost the same as a new pair) So Im looking for a new pair of IEMs, for around 100$, I loved how the shure sounded, and...

although i can tell the quality difference between cheap 20 dollar iems and expensive ones i can't really say i know how to differentiate the highs mids and what not. i'm new to this forum so sometimes i get confused with all these comments about the quality. but ill learn soon. neway i was...

What are some of the most popular and talked about IEMs around today? I'm not talking about the cheap stuff, I'm talking about the real deal!

I just ordered some Etymotic MC5s for portable listening, but now I really want an MP3 player to go with them (finally tired of carrying all those CDs).   I'm looking at the 160G Classic, but I wonder if the lineout will suck compared to my Sony D777 (hooked up to a CMoy. I may get a PA2v2...

I have been looking to get a new pair of IEMs and have narrowed down my search to a few but I cannot make up my mind on which pair to get.  I listen to a lot of different genres of music (mainly alternative and electronica) and I would like them to have decent bass, but what I am really looking...

So I'm in need of some new IEMs!  My budget is around £60, and from the couple of threads I've read so far seems there's some great value options available compared to when I bought the Customs (July last year).  I really want another pair of IEMs because earbuds just fall out when I'm riding my...

I got a pair of RE0s last december. Within 3 weeks there was a loose connection somewhere within the L-plug, and the sound sounded really tiny and mono. But after a few days the problem just went away, so I thought everything was fine. Around a month ago my left earpiece stopped producing sound...

So I was at J&R in Manhattan, NY today looking at some earphones and another product when I saw a black Etymotic MC5 for $49.99 plus tax which makes it $54 and change so effectively a $55 product. On the display it said it was one of those deals that are not advertised so I don't think you can...

This is a tricky one, because I'm not buying for myself, but a present for my son.  He formerly used some lower-level Philips IEMs (9350 maybe?  not sure), but they broke.  I discovered that he has been using my Sennheiser 580s with his Ipod, so I am buying him some IEMs for a replacement and to...

Hi, since i upgraded my budget i was thinking to a pair of MC5, since i'm european i really need an european store. Any suggestion?   Thanks^^

Pulling my hair out here. Sold my HD650s, about to sell my HD595s. Neither of these isolate and I need something I can listen to with this whirring computer and the ceiling fans running. I wear glasses as contacts bother my eyes too much(another reason I sold the 650s). Been looking all over...

I am a newbie in this area and would need your recommendation for a good pair of earphones. I had a blackberry before and bought a blackberry earphones with controls ($80). I now have an iPhone 4 and unfortunately the controls on the earphones do not work (just the stop/play button but not the...

  I'd been waiting a long time for these iem's to become available in the uk as I had a real burning desire to hear just how a dynamic ety would sound. So, as you can imagine, when these appeared on the iheadphones store, I snapped a pair up straight away.  Now, I have them and have been...

Hey y'all. Haven't posted in a while seeing as for a while I was in audio bliss with my M50s and my ER-6 Isolators. Unfortunately, I think it's time to replace the IEMs, as my last pair of tips is disintegrating, the strain relief is totally destroyed, the shirt clip broke, the yoke to keep the...

I own both the im716 and the im616, which like many etys, require filters.   I realized soon enough that I'd run through these filters way too fast, and since I don't live in the USA, I'd have a hard time getting replacements (and anyone who doesn't earn in dollars, yen or euro will tell you...

Amazon has 10 dollars price drop for the mc5 for 69.99(79.99 MSRP) in black,blue, and red.  I have not heard of these headphones but people are saying these are as good as the re0 which cost about 85 USD.  I think this is pretty good deal. 

Surprised I did not find a thread on this.  So what is the verdict on this after initial burn-in?   I presume HF5 is a little more refined and smoother sounding?  What about bass and treble in terms of how much there is and which sounds better?

Hi All,   So I have been doing some research on ACS, and I think I want to get a pair, but I am very confused by the answers I am getting from ACS in the US.   I called the ACS in the US to ask them some questions in regards to getting a custom mold for my Mc5s.  This is how the...
