Looking for some advice with my hf-3s I bought them about 30 days ago they are my first iems. I'm now hearing a bunch of distortion that wasn't there before paticularily on heavy bass hit sections basically sounds like something reverberating or resonating. I measured my normal listening volume...

Anyone else buy stuff from them? They are southern california based, small company, and sell their products via swapmeets and faires.   Here are the specs:   Driver type: Dual Dynamic Drive Unit: 10mm Freq: 15hz-22khz Impedence:32       They are a small company and claim to...

trying to decide which have the best sound clarity for the best price, right now im leaning to the shure's but im also interested in the bose.   id use these headphones for intense workouts and leisure listening    thanks

In my never ending search for the perfect gym earphone I've tried just about every <125 dollar headphone imaginable...including the MTPC @ 220.  My criteria is pretty simple:  over the ear, chin slider, comfortable, fairly isolated and it needs to be V or U shaped with a nice bass presence for...

This is my first lengthy posting in regards to any audio related field, so my apologies if I'm a bit difficult to follow. Please let me know if there are any improvements I can make as all thoughts and feedback are welcome! So I have recently been required to take a bus to work and with all of...

Hi guys,   I'd like to get an idea whether I want to buy medium or small Olives.. I use the smaller triple flange for the MC5's and the smallest eartip sizes for my maximo iM-590's and skullcandy iem's. (makes me want to buy the small ones, but I see a lot of people saying to get mediums and...

Greetings HeadFi, I've been lurking for a while and decided to finally make a post.  As far as my experience is concerned, I'm very new to the high-fi world.   I'm a big fan of IEM's due to the isolation.   I own an older set of UE MetroFi 220's as well as an almost new Ety Hf3.  As a...

Has anyone on this forum compared Q-Jays with the Monster Turbine, Etyomtic HF3, and the Dr. Dre Tour In-Ear?  Over the past 2 years i have tried those 3 headphones, and i have liked the monster turbine the most.  However, unfortunately also out of the 3, they were the LEAST durable headphones...

Hey everyone, haven't seen alot of information on here about the Etymotic Research ER6i's so I figured I'd write a little "first impression" review. I got these yesterday and have allowed them to break in for about 24 hours (a little less). While I'm impressed with their resolution on single...

Currently, I'm using a set of Ultimate Ears 700 IEMs with my iPhone but I think I'd like to make a step to something that is a bit more integrated. Unfortunately, THE UE 700's are the second best universal fit IEMs UE makes and I don't want to take a step down.   Now, this is going to be...

After reading that I'd likely need an amp to get the most out of my etymotics I became quite skeptical of whether anything of the size I'd be willing to deal with would offer any true benefits. Please guide me as where to look. I'd love if it could realistically fit in a jean pocket. Budget=...

Hi, I'm new to this website.   Can someone recommend me some earphones that offer the best noise isolation with audio quality as second priority.   I have a pair of UE 700s. They work great, but I was wondering if there are other earphones out there that have better noise isolation.  ...

Hi there,   I'm looking to buy some new in-ear earphones as my damn cat has eaten through the cable of my current ones (Bose, but I'm not sure what model). My budget is circa £100.   They'll mainly be used with my iPod and often whilst on the tube so noise isolation is fairly important...

I have the hf5 for a year now, and I love the sound. The few downsides is that the cable has too much memory, and the fit is not so comfortable.   So do you guys know another IEM with a sound signature similar to the hf5?   If not, I think I'll just buy the hf3. 

Hi all,   There's so much information and opinions here that the more I search the more I'm unable to decide.   I've been using an Etymotic E6i grafted onto iPhone earphone cables (with remote and mic, done by Ultimate Buds). The right side has gone bad so I'm looking for a replacement...

Yes, another first poster starting a IEM for iPhone thread.  I have spent about 6 hours going over these forums the last couple days, and every time I think I have it figured out, I change my mind. So I figured I'd post the questions with my music tastes.   History Started with Apple...

I just received a pair of ety hf3 iems with iphone controls and the controls do not work at all. I have a iphone 3gs (updated with the latest software) and the original stock ear bud controls still works great. Has anybody else encountered this? If there is a quick fix I could try before i send...

All -   I am a frequent traveler in search of an upgrade from my audio technica ath-anc7 travel headphones. I like these a fair bit but being on-ear they tend to hurt my ears after a couple of hours and the sound quality is not as great as I'd like. I bought a pair of Ety HF3s, but the...

<p>Aloha! First post... <p><br> <p>I just picked up a pair of Etymotic hf3's to go with my iphone. <p><br> <p>I like the natural reproduction of the earphones. They are the first pair I can listen to on the iPhone/iPod with EQ turned off, but I do tend to prefer the Jazz EQ setting with...

Hi guys,   I was wondering whether there were any people on here that might be able to recommend earphones with volume control and track selection for use with an iPhone 4.   I have seen the review here of the RF Punch Plug earphones (without remote) and that seemed quite favourable; I...

Hello All !   As far as I can see there is no difference between the hf2 and the hf3, except the mic/controller.  Are there any sonic differences between the hf2 and hf3?  Has anyone done a side by side comparison?   2010 Stereophile gave the hf2 a Class C rating and named the hf2 a...

i had been using the klipsh s4's with my J3 before i lost them... i was wondering what IEMs you guys would recommend i get now that i'm looking to re-order some... staying relatively close to the S4s price range

Hey all, I'm a noob on the forum and to high end audio in general. I recently got an iphone and want to pick up a decent quality pair of iems to go with. i'm having a tough time sorting through the @$$ loads of headphones in the price range i'm looking at (around $150). Ideally i'd like a pair...

  So I'm new when it comes to buying headphones and was wondering if someone could recommend some IEM's for under $200. Under $300 if there is a huge significant in sound quality.   I've heard my friend's SE530s for a bit and was impressed, just too expensive.  No experience on what I might...

Hello all. I just got an iPhone 4, and now I need to get an IEM with mic (and, ideally, remote control) to go with it (I'd prefer not to mess with adapter cables, so the mic should be built in).  I've read all the related threads I could find, but it seems that the more I read, the more options...
