Hey people im looking into a set of headphones for my tablet/iphone for flying,can anyone recommend some that I can look into?   noise cancellation ofc Pretty loud  for movies/music/ games Hopefully look pretty good on flight and out and about/     Would appreciate it guys im stuck...

While I have liked the sound of Etymotic, the build quality seems to be questionable.  I am obviously considering going back to them either with an identical pair or the newer MC-5.  The other consideration is Shure SE215 or Klipsch S4.   I am not an audiophile and the main time that I use...

Dude. These things rock. They play everything well just like an accurate neutral earphone would. If this is close to the ER4, I wouldn't mind splurging for those in due time.   Not as good of a midrange as the Shure E3C's I had, but those had really bad rolled off treble and the fit without...

I am looking to replace the rather ancient foam eartips of my ER-6is. As Etymotic don't seem to supply replacements in the UK or China, I am looking for an equivalent (I can't get on with the flanges). I have heard that Comply T-100s work well, although they are not listed as compatible with the...

Hi, l am looking for a ~100 dollar in ear buds to replace my Meelec 9P's for my iPhone. I listen to rock (both classic and new), rap, and sometimes pop. I don't really consider myself an audiophile, I just want a pair of buds that block out some noise, feel comfy, and sound pretty good.   I...

Dear All,    First of all, I hope this post is in the right place, apologies if not.   My trusty pair of ER-6i's accompanied me everywhere, but so much so that the jack has given up and now play through only one side.    Etymotic told me they no longer repair ER-6i's and invited me...

It’s been a long-standing dream of mine to own a pair of Martin Logan speakers, and to have a listening room that would do them justice. Sadly, that may never happen, so when I saw that they were selling in-ears at a reasonable price I got excited.   Out of the box, I stuck the Mikros 70s in...

Hey all!   First, this is an awesome forum, super helpful!   So my ER-6i's finally bit the dust after many faithful years.  Overall, liked them, though they were a bit light on the bass for me.   Just picked up a pair of TS02, after reading about them here.  Initial impressions is...

Im in the market for a pair of new in-ear headphones and have been reading up on Etymotic MC5 and the ER6i as well as the Klipsch Custom 3s and can´t decide which ones to get.    And is just hoping for some advice from the experts of head-fi.   I prefer to listen to indie rock and some...

The headphones I regretted the most was the skullcandy skullcrusher. I bought them for 100cad from the source.ca It broke after 5 months, the driver stopped working for some weird reason.. I should have bought a decent dac but that was before I joined head-fi. : frown::f rown:

I've got some Sennheiser 212 Pros which I enjoy. I really like bass aspect of the headphones and this is something I am looking for in my next set. Unfortunately due to wearing glasses and uses them lots at work they are quite worn. I was going to replace the 212s with another set as I have been...

Had some ER6i's for a while and loved them, but they disappeared. I can get the HF5s for $20 on amazon after a coupon, but amazon says there is a "new model of this product", referring to the HC5s. Normally I always like to go with the latest stuff, but I can't get the HC5s for as cheap. So how...

I am currently using Philips O'Neill specked which are O.K. but don't isolate well and I hear a wind like noise when I ever I move with them in and a pair of Shure SE115 which I need to fix.    What I am looking for is some headphones which isolate well, are extremely difficult to break...

Background Information: I just happen to reside where access to headphones (IEMs or full size cans) is limited / impossible. Having just investing in a set of speakers which had excellent reviews and finding them not at all to my taste I'd like to try and minimize the risk of something similar...

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...

Hey guys, new to the site and i am loving the plethora of information here. My girlfriends birthday is coming up and i would love to get her a new pair of IEMs. Shes has a ipod shuffle, and been using its default crap headphones (sigh). She listens to alot of sarah bareilles, john mayer, enya...

Hey guys,   I'm new to this place, but I have used it as an awesome mine of information for all things audio.    I'm looking into purchasing my first pair of IEMs and am looking to spend no more than $100 (pretty flexible).  I know there are similar threads, and I have read most of...

Which one should I go for?   I'm starting using my iPhone as a DAP more recently since I'm walking a lot so I ripped all my music to Apple Lossless and start looking for an IEM.   Let's say the difference in price between them is not an issue. And I'm not gonna spend more than $120.  ...

My trusty ER-6s took a ride on an Amtrak train without me (sniff), so now I'm in the market for something new, whether it be Etymotic or otherwise. I preferred the foams to the flanges, and I have a few pairs of foam tips left over. Are they compatible with other Etymotic products (I'm thinking...

Short version:   What to buy for good mid-high range? Availability in Sweden/Europe is a large plus. So far I've been looking at ER-6i (too "old"?), HF5 (good?) and RE0 (Not available in Sweden -> No warranty?). What is the verdict about choosing between this ones? Looking at price and...

My wife let our dog eat my headphones and she'll be paying for replacements out of her entertainment allowance; she has to learn to pay attention to the dog when she has responsibility for the dog.    I digress.   I see Er-6i quality has deteriorated since I got mine ~3 years ago.   I...

I'm looking for a set of phones for use primarily at work, but also some home use. Since I'm in a cube with neighbors near by, I'm looking at closed-back cans. I have a pair ER6i's that I use for portable audio and am not interested in using them or other IEMs since they can get uncomfortable...

Like the subject says - I currently have a Rockboxed Sansa Fuze that I listen to with ER-6is powered by an E5. I'm very satisfied with the isolation from my ER-6is /w flanged tips since I am usually listening to music while commuting on the subway or bus. However, I've been itching to upgrade...

Hello,   I am looking for a replacement for Ety er6i that broke after about 3 years. Overall, I really liked er6i for the clarity of sound, though I found them to be lacking in bass sometimes (only ocassionally).   Here is what I am looking for:   1. Good clean sound quality -...

The title says it all. I need enough isolation to use on a bus (these are a compromise for me - instead of earbuds AND NC headphones, it get IEMs), but SQ is also a priority. After searching around, it is down to these two IEMs, but I can't quite decide.   I like a detailed, middy sound...
