I have a pair of Etymotic hf2 which I like but I am on my third pair and the cable or the connector keeps breaking, probably from being in my pocket connected to the iPhone. Is there anyone I can ship these to who can replace the ****ty cable and connector which come from the factory with a...

I've been reading this awesome thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-268-iems-compared-visang-vs-k1-added-01-03-13#post_6492055 But am having some issues isolating my own criteria: 3-button iPhone mic fits Ety eartips durable for heavy use isolating (I know that...

Not sure if they're the same and why, if they are, there's a $50 price difference. Would I be safe buying the $95 ones? Both are labeled as the HF3 (Cobalt). $149 w/ Amazon Prime - http://amzn.com/B007TCXGY4 $95 + $3.99 shipping on Amazon thru Ocean Reef Electronics - http://amzn.com/B003YTTN9I

Long time lurker, first post.   I've had my HF3's a little over a year and while I really like the detail, I decided it was time for something new. I mainly just wanted something with a little more life to it. I think most people would agree that while Ety's are great for bringing out the...

I started using the foams that came with the Etymotic hf3 set because the triple flange silicone tips were hurting my ears.  I find these to also be slightly painful and scratchy, but what bothers me the most is the tickle I get in my ear canal when using them.  I recently went back to the...

Just got the custom tips for my HF3. The sound seems more balanced than any other tips I've tried with the Ety's but I'm a little surprised that I seem to get better isolation with Comply's. Isolation and comfort where that main reasons to get the custom tips. Has anyone else had that experience?

I had a pair of Etymotics HF2, which I had a love and hate relationship with.   Sound-wise I loved them. I listen to NYC Punk (Television, Pati Smith to the Ramones), alternative, and jazz (Parker, Monk, etc.).   I also loved the level of sound isolation—I commute through some noisy...

Can anyone confirm that these phones work for making calls? I know the volume buttons do nothing but play and pause should work. I'm considering ditching my iPhone 5.

Hey, My HF3's broke for the third time now, so I've decided to stop getting them replaced and just buy a new IEM. I was looking to go up a tier, and I think I've limited it to three(though I can probably only afford one of them!) Shure SE425 Poorest sound(though still pretty amazing)...

I have decided on a pair of hf3's. who can recommend a place to pick them up with the factory warranty.. From the states.

Okay, this is my first time getting a proper IEM, so please bear with me. (I only have a sennheiser CX300 at the moment)   So, i have been going through all the Head-fi forums searching for good IEMs. And as i understand these three would be my best bet around 150$. So, i need to know...

This is my first IEM review, so bear with me on this one. It isn’t very technical and it was more of an exercise for me to help me eliminate some IEMs from my collection. I currently own two ~$200 IEMs and two ~$350 IEMs and couldn’t justify keeping all of them, so I wanted to compare them and...

Hey, my hf5 were destroyed after 2.5 years of extreme use i want exactly what i had(SQ wise). As the drivers are the same i want one of them. im thinking of the headphones as for music but i think about using them for my Samsung galaxy s2 as well. I know they support the galaxy s2 with the...

I know you don't like those kind of threads, but keep reading and you'll understand! Thanks.    I don't know much about IEM but I am a little bit audiohphile! Being a DJ, I've searched some good over-ear headphones, but I am now looking for the more day-to-day use of some IEM for sports...

I own the Ety ER-4P's, these are my second pair as the first got lost/stolen years ago, I quickly replaced them since they are worth every penny. I've been using these headphones for years and years and they are still rock solid. I love these things, awesome clarity, super isolation and I...

Long time listener, first time caller. I am currently looking for a set of IEMs in the $80 price range. Have no preference but do currently own a set of monster turbine pro gold which I love - i am looking for a set for my son. Considering monster turbine, shure 215, etymotic hf3/5, head direct...

What do you guys think of these two IEM's. Which do you think is better overall? Pro's & Cons of both?

I own a pair of westone 2's but I mainly do most of my listening on the bus heading back and forth to the city and I receive a lot of phone calls. I use my iPhone 5 as my main listening device. Its a hassle unplugging the headphones every time I receive a call. So i'm looking for a pair of IEM's...

I've been looking around for quite some time for an audio solution for my desktop (Amp+Dac) that won't leave my wallet empty again but will provide much superior audio. I've been looking around and a Chinese company named S.M.S.L caught my attention. Their audio products seemed to be exactly...

OK, here is my predicament.. Recently I have been on a quest to find a quality set of headphones to workout with at the gym. In the past I have used any cheap headphones but really wanted to get some better sound quality. I purchased Monster iSports Immersion but really found them uncomfortable...

Hi!   I'm looking for a new headset, that could accompany me while cycling, running, hiking and going to the gym. Heres what I'm looking for: A headset that fits my ear, i.e. not fall off whilst for example jogging. An on-cable microphone is a must. They don't necessarily need to be...

===== February 2014 EDIT (same question) =====   Original post was in November 2012 (when I thought I lost my IEMs). Now, in February 2014, I surely lost my Etymotic HF2's. The cables were on two parts torn already, but I enjoyed the Etymotics for 4 years. So I need something new.   However...

I'm new here, I've searched the threads and can't find much info.  Most of it talks bout techno, Dubstep, and hip-hop.  What is your opinion of the best sub $200 dollar IEMs for Rock music?  I listen to a lot of Rock/Metal/Progressive for long periods of time at work.  I'm finally looking for...
