    Studio Headphones to Record Audiobooks: T50RP and ... K271 or SRH440?

    I'll be buying studio headphones to record audiobooks: a flat, revealing midrange is thus my priority. The headphones should be closed or at least semi-closed, to prevent leakage into the microphone during tracking. I already own a pair of Etymōtic HF5, but they're fidgety to put in and keep in...

    Are the Etymotic ER-4Ps a significant step up from the HF5s?

    I have a pair of HF5s at the moment and am very happy with them.  I listen to mostly vocals, songs with acoustic guitar, and rockpop and have never found the 'bass issue' an issue ;)   This is my only pair though so I'd like to buy another pair of IEMs to keep as a back up or alternate with...

    IEM advice needed

    Hey!   I need an advice. I owned so far Etymotic er6i + phonak audeo 112. Due to no replacement accessories unavailable at reasonable price in Poland I sold er6i. Phonak didn't fit so well. In er6i I was using triple flange small ones and even that was a tight fit if inserted deeper. My...

    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...

    What IEM to try next?

    Until now I had considered myself a basshead, but after trying several sets of IEMs I'm not so sure. It's hard to find that perfect balance. Spent last night out with a friend of a friend who let me listen to his IE8's and I was pretty impressed with the soundstage and general warm balance.  ...

    Picking new IEMs

    I'm having a difficult time deciding between Head-Direct RE0, Panasonic RP-HJE900, or Klipsch S4.    I listen to all genres of music and do appreciate good bass (I've heard bad things about that when it comes to the RE0). I'm just trying to pick one with the best all-around sound quality and...

    HiFiMan HE-5LE + Matrix M-Stage = Ok?

    I am new to headphone listening, and recently purchased the AKG K702 and Matrix M-Stage.  I'm now so enamored with listening through cans that I'm already thinking of an upgrade.  I'm interested in the HiFiMan HE-5LE as it appears it would be a nice upgrade to the AKG's at a somewhat reasonable...

    Monster in-ears?

    Now I don't know too much about in ear headphones as I've always been into over-ear headphones, but I'm thinking of getting a pair of in ears, now in the over ear world monster stuff is over-priced and considered pretty garbage (like the beats and etc)   Now after looking at headroom I...

    IEMs just broke, trying to pick a new set

    I've had my Klipsch Image S4's for a while now, but over the past two weeks they've suddenly given out on me. They were a great value, so I was going to just replace them with another pair of the same... but Amazon is having a promotion now that has thrown my plans into confusion.  ...

    Terrible Etymotic HF5's

    I ordered a pair of Etymotic HF5's about a year ago figuring I'd get much better and much cleaner audio out of them than my $9 paid of in ear Skull Candies. I was wrong! The HF5's have absolutely no low end at all. Now I wouldn't expect the ridiculous bass the skull candies put out, but I'd...

    Etymotic ER6i vs. Etymotic HF5 vs. Mylarones X3 vs. Sunrise SW-Xcape

    Which one is best overall?   - I think they should be easy to drive as I'm using them with a cheap tablet.   - Clarity concerns me more than anything else.   - I don't want anything very expensive (i.e. about 100$ is fine.)   - I've read this: "It's the closest thing there is to...
