I want the cheapest best-bang-for-the-buck in ear monitor (mostly to listen to text but some music too - for music I have regular headphones). It must be very sturdy - I don't want the cables to break down. It is the usual end of in-ear phones.   What's the best solution for me?   I also...

It's a pretty simple question, no need to argue, or say which IEM's are the best, or get into any burn-in debates. I was just wondering if most people picked different sounding IEM's for different genres or different moods, or if most people picked a certain sound signature and stuck with it for...

Hello there, this is actually my very first post on this forum. Its just that I take my music bitof more seriously than people around (from what ive noticed) and so I thought having a good equipment would even multiply my pleasure / joy while listening. I do not know the terms therefore I...

I would appreciate any suggestions.. my Sennheiser CX300 died and I need a replacement. I did like the sound of the CX300 (please, don't shoot me!) but I'm ready to switch to something with less "bass" and a bit more clarity. I listen to a wide range of music (except for heavy metal kinda stuff)...

Hey, As above, I'm considering getting a pair of headphone, earphones or IEMs to use with my phone while on the move since I just picked up an E7 (which I'll be using with an E9 hopefully as my home amp/dac combo) but obviously I can use the E7 while on the move.   I was wondering what...

Hi there,  I am willing to buy the Etymotic HF5's, but I'm not sure if it's worth it to buy them if I already have the MC5's. I've been having some seal problems with the MC5's probably because of the bigger unit size. The SHR440's are also tempting as I heard them a few days ago and they...

Hi there!   First off, I would like to tell you that I'm from Sweden so my english is not as good as I would like it to be, but I hope you will be able to understand me anyway.   Well then. I just bought a pair of the MC5:s, mainly to be used when i exercise outdoors (which of course...

So I've been through a couple pairs of ear buds the past year, my first being etymotic mc5's and then nuforce ne 700x. I loved the etymotics but I failed to take care of them and the wire ended up falling apart. I liked the nuforce's a lot too, but they seemed extremely frail, and eventually one...

Should I get the brainwavz m4 without mic for $28 or phiaton ps 20 half in ear (glossy white) for $38?  I like to listen to mainly rock music and some electronic/house/dubstep/trance.  Also what would work better with Fiio E11 is another consideration as I do own that.  Sound quality is my...
