Rock IT R-50 Review   Introduction:   The Rock It R-50 first caught my attention when a fellow head-fier fell in love with it when the company was very young. He made some very bold statements about it and I was quite unsure at first when I saw the price of only £75 but the as more...

Hey All,   So before you get any further, yeah, this is a recommendation thread.  Share your thoughts if you want, I know these are the scum of the Head-Fi earth, but Im in a crazy headphone bind and need your help.   I was/am the happy owner of a pair of first gen DBA-02s that I bought...

I find braided cables pleasing to the eye but I heard its also more durable than ordinary cables.I know the best IEMS for this include UE, Westone, and (perhaps) Etymotic. But they are out of my price range for now so I wanna ask if there's any other in ear monitors out there that's not that...

Hey guys,   Does anyone have any suggestions of any IEMs ~$150-200 that can use Klipsch tips? So far, they've been the most comfortable tips I've ever used and I'd like to have a second pair of IEMs for comfort/decent isolation that I can kinda beat up (which means that the X10s are probably...

Hey Guys   I bought a Westone 4 off another head-fier here a few months ago, and I've been generally happy with it.    However, the sound has been getting, somewhat boring for me (I've heard lots of people comment on it's boring sound). It's too.. natural.    So now, I'm looking for...

Greetings, I've been a member of this forum for quite a while but rarely contribute.  Until recently I've been more of a vinyl guy and spend my time in those forums.  I'm in the military and have a deployment to Afghanistan coming up which has forced me to get into pc audio and headphones.  I...

Do you think its worth it? is the SQ good? Another question, many people say its heavy, is that really a problem? Does it bother you a lot or is it not that much of a problem?

Fischer Audio Tandem Review   Intro My first real love of any IEM was that of the Fischer Audio DBA-02, it was like nothing I had ever heard before at the time and it made me just want to try more IEMs to see what else there was to offer. I had actually had a hard time at first finding...

This is literally the third pair of headphones that are shocking my inner ear.   I had the Brainwav M2s, and now Soundmagic E10s.   I've never felt this and have no idea what is going on, but I obviously cannot really use the headphones after this starts. I do use these while running...

Everyone agrees in this. I don't understand. Something about air? Why is air so important?  Is that necessary?

I'm using and really appreciating the new Westone EPICS MICS cable on BTG-Audio modified Fischer DBA-02's, and trying to decide if I like the soft wire inside the cable sheath. It is easily formed/reformed to shape, and the clear sheath will prevent cable stiffening in this area, the problem...

I have been on this forum for some time now and after buying some iems both dynamic and balanced armature and also with 3-way configuration, there was always something missing. Now with new hybrid iems like K3003 and UM Merlin, I always thought they would give best of both worlds.  After...

So I have been perusing the forums trying to find a an answer to my "on-the-go-gym-phones" problem. I currently use the stock iPhone headphones (you know those white ones that come with the iPods)...I only use these still because they have iPhone controls and a mic on them, this feature is a...

I've been interested in the Westone 4 or UM3x for a long time, but only now have a chance to get them... either.   I love the DBA-02 (and B2), and wonder how either of these Westones compare. Anyone out there have both (DBA and Westone), and can discuss the differences or similarities in...

I mainly listen to different varieties of house music, trance, dubstep, drum & bass, and some rap. I bought a pair of Sennheiser CX-270s but thought that they were pretty ****ty. I was considering Shure SE215 and ATH-CKM500 but I'm open to suggestions on some good earphones. Noise isolation...

  For sixty dollars, it is very hard to expect much from any IEM. IEMs have been underwhelming for me in my short time as an audio enthusiast. The IEMs that I have tried generally have overly prominent mids, muddy lows, and nonexistent highs. The Brainwavz M2 brought something different to the...

Logitech Ultimate Ears 700 Review   Intro What seems like forever ago now I came across my first IEM that I truly loved both at the time and to this day and that IEM is the Fischer Audio DBA-02. So why have I started this review talking about a completely different earphone? Well as you...

  First, Hello everyone, my first post here, I have been reading/researching these forums for weeks now and my head is seriously going to explode from the amount of info. I've been taking in. I had no idea there were so many high quality IEM's to choose from and even less idea what I was getting...

  It's years past now, so no reason to get excited over a review, or an 'old product', right? I borrowed the eQ5 from Musica Acoustics back in like February or March. It's dangerous game. I borrowed the Grado GR10 from someone else and now have the GR8. That's a lot of money to throw around...

Hello all,   I am looking to get my dad some top of the range headphones, where price is not an issue. He is a real audiophile with sensitive ears, but needs to get something for when he is not at home.   He would use them exclusively for opera and classical music (for example: Verdi...

please suggest me an iem under 150$ with ultra detailing.

First, I like to thank HifiMan for the sample. I have had the RE272 for a while now but writing this review doesn’t become easier with time. There is something incredible about RE272’s sound but at the same time, there is also something hard to describe that is holding me back from an unreserved...

Hey fellow head-fiers,   I'm looking for a CIEM that has excellent imaging, great extension on both sides of the spectrum, controlled bass, neutral or slightly forward mids, and a nice sparkly treble. Also, an airy presentation and a well rounded 3D soundstage would be ideal.  ...

I've been looking on the forums for quite a while searching for the right earphones for me. However, many of the earphones that had positive reviews also had some negative reviews... So i'd like some recommendations on IEMS for around $250. I listen to all sorts of music, mainly asian pop and...

Hi all. While cleaning my FA DBA-02, I pushed at least one of the acoustic dampers down to the end of the nozzle. I might've pushed the other acoustic damper further down into the nozzle, as well. It would really help me out if someone could let me know the following: 1. How far down the...
