Hello Head-fi community.   I plan to get a new earphone, as my old one broke. I have BeatsbyDre Studio and Westone 3, but I feel these are too expensive to bring outside. I go to school and plan lots of sports, thus I plan to get a durable with a great sound one.   I was looking at...

First post. I need some new headphones, but I'm a total nooby. I have an ipod (iphone 4) and use the standard issue headphones. They're ok, but I do virtually all of my listening on my bus commute to/from work - over 2 hours a day mostly at freeway speeds.  Buses are loud, so I really have the...

hello head-fi,   let me just start off by saying i am indeed a complete noob when it comes to this stuff. i am by no means an audiophile. ive been looking around and have narrowed it down to 3 different earphones. the Ultimate Ears UE700, Fischer Audio DBA-02, and the Jays Q-jays. does...

I've just found an app which, in my opinion, greatly increases the sound quality coming through my DBA-02's.   It's called EQu, and it's basicly a fully fledged EQ monitor. I can change the EQ on the fly, and after finding the right setup for me it felt like I was using completely different...

prices are based on current amazon.com prices.(except fischer audio's DBA-02 which is converted from singapore dollars to USD.     Etymotic ER-4P-$243   Monster Turbine PRO High-Performance In-Ear Speakers-$299   Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Noise Isolating Earphones-$183.50  ...

I have the monster turbines and think they are amazing but i stumbled upon the dba-02s and from what i read they seem to be pretty good. I was just wondering how they stand up to the turbines in all aspects of sound and mainly how they compare to the turbines in terms of bass: boomieness and...

Friends…   Say the horror of horror occurs and I either misplace or accidentally destroy my DBA-02’s. Or, let’s just say they decide one day (of their own volition) to stop putting me in audio nirvana.     Then what? I’d want something that doesn’t take months to get (as these did), or...

After reading around on this forum, I noticed that the Future Sonics Atrios don't get a lot of love from the Head-Fi community. The reviews at Head-Fi are generally good, but the individual statements of head-fiers seem to be lukewarm. Can anybody tell me why? I read in some of the threads that...

So, as the title says. Personally, I prefer the Sennheiser cabling for its high-end IEMs. So soft, flexible, and strong! Not to mention zero microphonics!  

What would be the best universal IEM under ~$500.00.   I listen to Pop, Dance, Hip-Hop, Rap, Techno, Club, Dance and a bit of other genres.   I'm looking at the SM3's, GR10's, SE535's, DBA-02's + possibly another IEM for that price..?   What do you guys think?

So I have finally decided to move on from the q-JAYS (which I still love) and try to buy the famed Audio Technica. Reasons I want to upgrade to CK10: -The itch to upgrade -Hopefully a more refined, detailed sound -Build quality -Small size -After reading various impressions by...

Hello people.   I am currently using Brainwavz M3's with a Cowon S9 and Fii0 E7, the sound isn't bad but I want to try something a bit better, I've just ordered an Sflo2 from MP4N (hopefully I'll receive it within 2 months!!), so that should help, but what about a good set of IEM's in the...

Hello. I'm wondering if the Audeo PFE is comparable to the DBA-02, an IEM that is incredibly hard to find now. The only site where it is available seems to be Treoo.com, however, with the additional shipping to the US, the DBA-02 comes in at nearly $235 USD. Do you feel the DBA -02 is worth the...

I have been cycling through at least 2 pairs of headphones a year now - the cable never seems to last too long with how often I use them (several hours each day). I have done a lot of research on IEMs and it seems that as soon as I found one I like, I discover something bad about them (bad...

I currently do not own any full size headphones---only iems. My current main iem is my fischer audio DBA-02, which I absolutely love. I have always preferred full size headphones to iems, but I have enjoyed the convenience of iems. I am looking for a full-size headphone that has a similar type...

  I recently purchased the TMA-1 Headphones by AIAIAI, the main reasons being they are very portable, and have great sound quality. I'm enjoying them quite a bit, and it was money well spent, I happen to love their deep bass punch and clarity. However, being an on-ear headphone, they are not...

Thanks to the useful and dangerous (at least for my wallet) information on this site, I have come to buy several headphones, including the M50 and the DBA-02's.  I also now have a V-Jays Jay for when I want to go light but not IEM.     I have burned in the M50's and they do sound great.  But...

I'm looking for a portable amp around the $120 mark that can drive the Ety's ER4S. I might be buying a pair, so would anyone be kind enough to recommend a few?   I've been looking at these amps around the said price range:   Little Dot Mark MK1 Neco Soundlab Dual Amp Neco Soundlab...

Hi I'm from Sydney Australia .. Where is the best place online to buy Fischer DBA 02 ..I can pay by PayPal.   Do you think Ethan has it in stock??   Also noticed that Tre00 was banned in the forum.. any reason for that.(he seems to have these in stock).   I am new to IEM's (and to...

Hi everybody,   It's been a while i'm not chillin' up here, 'cuz i felt satisfied since i meet AT-Ck10. Still it's delightful to me, yet i'm whinning for one which has a little more bassy and uncolored sound. As i told, it's been some time i've read all top-tiers' reviews, now i want some...

I am starting this thread to start a list of Head-fi members' first Eargasm. this is a momentous occasion in an audiophiles life. I don't mean the little time that you go, "this sounds good", I mean when you hear something and feel the need to grab everyone within a half-mile radius and force...

Maybe 250, but 200 is the most comfortable price I'm willing to spend. If the IEM is amazing for 250, I'll consider it. Also, I have been looking at the UE TripleFi 10, and they seem pretty nice, but based on your guys' opinions(Been lurking for about 2 months before joining >_>), they have...

Has anyone seen this   http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=181159398572883&set=a.181159395239550.43052.171024442919712&ref=nf     It seems Brainwavz will be making them. They look a lot like DBA-02s, they will have dual balanced amaratures and it you haven't noticed from the...

So I really want a pair of good headphones.  I just got a Clip+ and Rockboxed  it to listen to FLAC files.  I went with the Clip because FLAC and a ton of space.  Now I really need a decent pair of headphones.  I listen to mainly metal of sorts.  Well using metal to describe what I listen to is...

Hi Everybody!   Have been stalking these forums for well over a year now. These forums have helped me hugely to decide on my first set of IEM's which was Eterna rev.1. But sadly after owning them for a good year they gave up on me (after a LOT of abuse).   I really LOVE the Eterna! The...
