Hey, I need a new pair of headphones/earphones, I like the in ear ones but prefer the large headphones because they are more comfortable, what do you think I should get if:   - I listen to rap - I listen on the way to work - I like to listen outdoors a lot as well as indoors - I like...

First off I must say I love this site! I'm just a lurker here, but have gained alot of very helpful insight and direction here regarding the headphone aspect of my audio addiction .   I come asking help about which IEM I should choose. My current IEM's, some Monster Turbine Pro's need to be...

That Right Folks... The Etymotic Line of IEMs is one of the Most Tunable IEMs on the market.   Simply by changing the filters, You Too Can Increase the Bass Response.   A little known fact that is now exposed.   I have simply changed the filters/increased their resistance and turned...

I look to spend no more then 200 dollar on some earphones. My music tastes are nightwish, trance, and movie soundtracks. For 200 usd i hope i can expect all i want...good strong bass but not sarcficing over good mids and highs. Also the build quality is -very- important. And if it dies, i hope...

Hello everyone,   I am looking at either getting the HF5 or ER4S and would like to get the custom-fit molds however would like to hear from people who went through the experience and get their take on comfort and whether they would get the custom molds done again.   In the end I believe...

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...

Hi Guys,   Question: what are the best earphones with serious quality for everyday use?   I’d like to get your help with choosing some earphones for my everyday use. I’ve been looking through this site and following up on YouTube and I realised I needed to come back and seek the help of...

And Kuddos to Monster!   First Etymotic. If they hadn't taken care of me I was going to post here and complain, now that they did, and went the extra mile as well, I thought I should share.   My HF5 cord to one of the earphones split near the earphone. I thought I was being too rough on...

I have a pair of Ety 6i with Custom-Fit tips. I find that the tips just keep coming off the headsets.  The tip provider (Microsonic) has made a few replacement tips, but usually within weeks, they pop off too.    To give you an example, take the 6i's out of a pouch, one of the tips will have...

Ety and Apple combined headset (IEM of course). Enjoy, Jim   http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Apple-Etymotic-ER6i-Headset-Mic-Remote-Compatible-with-iPhone-4-4S-/270995142712?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item3f1891b838#ht_2060wt_1139  

What earphones / brands have the best build quality ? Too many earphones have died on me because of cable issues, so I really want to make sure that build quality is one of the main criteria in my selection.

Last night i decided that I should probably replace my IEM filters. After I did, I could perceive almost no difference in SQ, save for the slightest increase in treble sparkle.  I know that these filters are stupidly expensive for the little plastic tubes they are, so I was wondering, do other...

I am having a problem with my Etymotic: one driver (the right one) sounds at much much lower volume than the other one. What should I do (other than sending them back for warranty)? I have now removed the filter on the right driver completely, so to rule out that possibility, but it's still...

Preface:  Looking for a reference type IEM.  Previous Ety ownership has been 95% unamped.  Interested in P or S discusion with use 100% of time with amp.  (Ibasso T3).  Interested in actual discussion, not "just get adapter and have both."   My understanding is while the P has a bit more...

This was posted by one of the Head-Fiers here,as a comment if I'm not mistaken, so I decided to make his idea known,and think of the possible outcomes of his idea. :D   Just an idea I thought I would like to share, no hate please! :P I'm only 16 and I'm pretty new to this world of audio...

I did not want to use the word "BEST" headphones as that is highly subjective and there are many pages about which headphone is the "BEST". However, I was curious as to what people found as their personal favorite IEM for speech (i.e. podcasts). I would want to use these for some occasional...

I recently sold off my Maximo IM-490s and am looking for a good set of IEMs for my Iphone 3GS.   my extensive listening experiences only go as far as my AD-700s and the IM-490s, I prefer the signature of the AD-700s, to me they might as well be perfect despite the lack of isolation that I...

Greetings to everyone at Head-FI:    Etymotic is pleased to offer a free P-to-S cable with the purchase of the ER4P-T at http://www.etymotic.com/.  The perfect accessory for the musician on the go, the P-to-S cable converts the frequency response of the ER4P to that of the ER4S, improving...

I'm looking for a set of open travel headphones to replace the old Koss Porta-Pro and Sennheiser PX100s that have done long duty as my travel partners.  Both are starting to make that crackle from time to time that says the cable is failing.   Have long enjoyed Etymotic in-ear headphones -...

I'm looking for some noise cancelling headphones for use in my dorm. It can be pretty loud sometimes, but if the doors are closed and music is on, it's not that bad.   Can anyone recommend some inexpensive noise-cancelling headphones?

Is there any Audiologist in Phoenix that someone would recommend?  I got an ear impression mold through the etymotic program and went to one of there in service providers.  She told me it would have been 150-160 to get just the molds done otherwise, not including the making of process of another...

So at the store the other day, I ask a lady if she needs anything else for her iPod to go with the charger she was buying, mainly suggesting a better pair of headphones as I saw the tell-tale white cable of the Apple earphones around her neck. She said, "You think you have something better than...

Got the Ety's now, thinking of picking up used Rockets. Worth it? I like the Ety sound a lot. Thanks!

Hm...  Looks like Etymotic has a second dynamic IEM coming out.  This one targetted towards the younger generation to protect their hearing...  There are two models, and iPhone version with a remote and mic and a normal one going for 90 and 60 USD respectively.  10 dollars off for a limited time...
