After reading through reviews of many earphones, it seems like a lot of them have a high bass level. Bass always gives me a headache after listening to it for a few minutes. I was wondering if there are high quality earphones with little to no bass, that produces clear, accurate sound?

My old ER4s have seen better days but I barely use them anyway as I find them so uncomfortable for more than 15 minutes. In the office I use AKG K550 headphones which I'm very happy with, I bought Sennheisser HD-25 II for portable use but they're also uncomfortable after some time as I have...

I posted earlier that the outer molding of my 3-year old TF-10s had come unglued and then lost while traveling. I contacted Logitech customer support (they now own the universal fit part of UE and the custom fit portion is a different company) and they told me that they could not send me a...

Hello head-fi, I've spent some time in this website because I wanted to get a decent IEM and members around here know a lot. After reading reviews and checking out this thread ...

For the past several years I've been a rabid Klipsch fan. I've owned s4's, s4i's, s5i's, and x10's. Every pair I've owned however needs to be replaced at least once because the headphones simply die out. Either one of the earbuds dies on its own, or the wires inside the jack become dislodged and...

Hey Guys   I bought a Westone 4 off another head-fier here a few months ago, and I've been generally happy with it.    However, the sound has been getting, somewhat boring for me (I've heard lots of people comment on it's boring sound). It's too.. natural.    So now, I'm looking for...

Last night I ordered the ER4-P off amazon after much deliberation over detail-oriented IEMs. I fully intend to buy a P/S converter plug/cable which as most of you know (correct me if i'm wrong) changes the ER4-P to a virtually identical ER4-S. I have read many reiews that give high praise to the...

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...

Have a pair of Etymotic HF3s and have the following observations regarding the tips: The triple flange eartips don't work for me at all, even the smaller ones. The left ear is fine, the right won't go in far enough to get a seal. The foam tips work well but aren't very comfortable. The...

I am thinking of selling my Shure SE215 and HD650's and getting one really good pair of IEM's....   So this would give me a max budget of £250 which I assume should get me a very nice pair of IEM's....   I have been reading about it and it seems that BA drivers will never have as much...

I already have the Shure SE535LTD and they sound amazing for acoustic music but they flop when it comes to busy passages and sound terrible for some genres. So now I'm looking for something "different" that would compliment my shures. Does anyone have any recommendations?   Already got these...

I inherited these and am not sure which I have. I'll be using them in a desktop situation and would like to order the S adaptor if appropriate. Any way I can tell which I have?    Thanks!

Greetings, I've been a member of this forum for quite a while but rarely contribute.  Until recently I've been more of a vinyl guy and spend my time in those forums.  I'm in the military and have a deployment to Afghanistan coming up which has forced me to get into pc audio and headphones.  I...

I've read that you can convert the hf5 to an "ER4S" with an impedance adapter, since it uses the same drivers (not matched though). What adapter do you recommend that's affordable and easily acquired? The Ultimate Ears adapters are sold out, the Etymotic's are 50USD (overpriced, imo). The...

Ok so don't shoot me...   I'm not not well versed with portable hi-fi equipment and technology. I have a small predicament and am not sure how to proceed...   My piece of crap Dr. Dre StudioBeats that I bought  from a colleague for $160 broke down and I plan on replacing them with a...

Hello everyone,     My Vsonic GR07 MK2 / Visang R07 MKII flagship updated James Bond whatever version is on the way and this is a placeholder for a review.     I'm quite excited about the look of the cable, this is the first time I've been excited about a cable!      ...

I would like to know what the best portable amp for the er-4s is.  I love ety phones for their accuracy and detail, so I would like an amp that is equally good in that respect.  I don't want an amp that colors the phones without any other settings active, just one that allows them to play well...

I work in a recording studio and we use loudspeakers exclusively to master music. I want a popular reference headphone to listen to my masters for observation purposes. I don't think it's really a good idea to exclusively mix on headphones; so these headphones are to compliment the speakers and...

YAMAHA EPH-100 REVIEW AND COMPARISONS (HJE900, PFE112, TF10, GR06, GR07, ETY ER4S)     PREFACE   OK so i don't usually throw out that many reviews.  My main reason for doing so here is the pages and pages of confusing information from certain fanboys with a FOTM attitude and people...

I know very little about headphones. Want to spend $300 or under on some in-ears. Comfort, sound quality (obv) are priority. A decent warranty would be nice as well. Comfort: Multiple sizes are a plus Sound Quality: I likah da bass; but good sound overall is important, not just bass. Make...

Anyone know of any IEMs or portable headphones with a reasonably Flat signature?   Much appreciated.

I've been using a pair of Etymotic HF5s for about a year and a half now and have loved them. The primary reason I got them was to use as IEMs when I drum but I use them whenever I'm listening to music as well. I'm a huge fan of the analytical sound they present as well as the sound stage. One...

Hi experts,   As my last in-ear headphones are broken, I'm getting a new and hopefully, better pair. I listen to almost only classical music (Everything, opera, orchestral, chamber, choral, solo, and even organ quite often) and sometimes pop but not rock, but I will need to use them for...

I've had my Turbine Golds for a few years and I love them to death, but enough is enough!  No matter what tips I use, they always fall out of my ears.  My much-inferior Denon IEMs get a lot more use for this reason alone.  The only tips where this isn't an issue are Complies, but those can get...

Is it just me, or are amp makers that officially state the output impedance for their products in the minority?   I know it's not the be-all, end-all, but making sure the output/load impedance ratio is at least 1/8 is quite important to make sure that the frequency response of the 'phones...
