Can anyone give details on where to purchase these as they are sold out everywhere?   Or good alternatives?

I recently lost my Etymotic 6i so I am now back in the market for a new pair. I really enjoyed the Ety's and I am currently considering the next model up, however I am looking for a little more punch. I mainly will be using these on airplanes to watch movies or listen to music. They will be...

This thread is created to avoid derailing already-established threads. It also provides a platform for all who wish to talk about this subject.   I personally believe that BA can crank out a ton of details, but its naturalness and ease at producing music cannot reach that of a dynamic driver.

Hey all!     I am considering a Westone 2 or a DBA-02.   I have heard the westone 2 but not the DBAs   Could anybody who have heard both compare them in terms of :   Build quality( I think the W2 are the kings here) Transparency? Speed? Clarity? Resolution? Smoothness or...

I've only had my GR07s for about 2 months. I don't abuse them, and already I've lost the right channel. I don't know how this happened, but I'm pretty pissed. What could have possibly caused this to happen so soon? Hopefully I can get them replaced.

My shure 210's just crapped out and am looking for a replacement.  I'd really like to make the jump up to a dual (or more) driver iem and am thinking about the Shure 315's, but I thought I'd hear what other people recommend.  I listen to mostly alternative rock (and sometimes a little rap)...

I found this site after a bit of research on the topic, and from what I can tell, people here know exactly what they're talking about.   I personally have no idea what I'm talking about on the subject. To be honest, until I looked into it, I was planning on buying Bose in-ear headphones.  ...

Hello all,    This is my first post and I am quite excited. I have recently forayed into the world of quality audio and it has definetly changed my music listening for good. I am ready to make my first substantial purchase in the field of IEM's and need a bit of guidance. My music listening...

Hello members of the Head-fi community!   I've recently bought a pair of the regular Monster Turbines, and I was quite satisfied with them at first. I loved, loved the sound, this coming from a pair of Sennheiser CX 300 II which I found super, super harsh to listen to. I loved the bass...

I am not a basshead by any means as I realized upon listening to the Hippo VB.  I currently use a Klipsch Image S4 with my iPhone 4 and its enjoyable and I like the function of the 3 button strip on it.  Well I borrowed an Etymotic HF3 and fell in love with the clarity that it produced as well...

So I got my dba-02 for a month and im loving it.however the fit isnt working out for me. Left side keeps coming off for some odd reason. but anyway Is there a headphone that has the same sounds as the GR07 or DBA-02. Looking for a price of 200$ Max. Thanks Also, Ins

So I pretty much narrowed down my choices for an IEM down to these three. These seem to be the ones that stand out in the price range of 150~ at least, though the GR07 recently had a jump in price which makes it a little less appealing to me, but I don't really mind shelling out the additional...

As stated in the title, UE 700 vs DBA-02 vs B2. I can get the UE700 at $50 cheaper than the DBA and B2. My portable setup will be iPhone and a Fiio e5. Which of these 3 will be the best choice? Im not asking for alternatives and not buying them online. I'm leaning towards the UE700 design and...

I know, I know, another "which IEM I should buy?" thread. I'm aware there is a large thread dedicated for that, but what I'm asking requires a little more than the sound quality descriptions in those threads.   Background: I have owned the Shure E2c, Head-Direct RE0, and the Vsonic GR07. ...

  Hey all,   I'm rather new in the amp scene. please excuse me for any potential noob-ish comments or questions.   I listen to a wide range of music from classical to rock and live concerts. The dba has been awesome for classicals and the softer music but the problem arise when i...

Here's the deal: I'm sitting at a long table at Starbucks. I have a pair of DBA-02s deep in my ears. I am listening to Bach. There's a guy at the end of the table playing music via cheap ear buds. I can HEAR his music even through my wall of Bach, and it's really annoying me.  Is it ever ok to...

I own a pair of Etymotic ER6i and my gf wants a pair for the gym. I'm hoping there is something better out there now since I've owned mine for over a year now. I'm sure there were much better IEM's to begin with but I had a limited knowledge of headphones back then (and still do). I'm after a...

Hi, i just lost my DBA-02 -.- And thinking of getting a new one. However, i came across this FX500 (i know i'm kinda slow) and i'm thinking of getting those. Which is better in terms of clarity and soundstage?  DBA-02 clarity is amazing however bass is kinda weak. Thanks !

Looking at the EX600's and wondering how they compare to say the DBA-02's.  I seem to like the sound signature of the DBA-02's and the Ety HF5's and if the EX600's are similar at all.   Cheers, Jim

Just bought a Cowon S9 which sounds great with my M50 cans but not so good with my current IEMs which are real cheapies. Looking for an upgrade> Something i can use when I'm out and about for under $150 total. Thank you.

I am getting quite annoyed with GD-Audiobase. I've emailed Dmitry four weeks ago that I wanted to return my DBA-02's because of channel imbalance and got a response that I could send them back to the address provided.   It's been four weeks now since I´ve sent my DBA-02's and I still...

Hey guys, I wanted to focus the topic of the thread I started the other day (IEM vs. hd 580 and amp options). Except for what the title already says I want to add that I'm mostly looking for a mixing headphone, and that detail, separation and extension are my top priorities. Also, I'll be using...

hello!   I am looking for over the ear headphones that suit my musical interests. I enjoy listening to rap/hip hop, rock, alternative rock, and r&b. (right now i own the fischer audio dba-02's so i'm looking for something that has a rich and clean bass) Also I would like to purchase...

Hello guys,   I just bought a Fischer Audio DBA02.    And I earned some money from my fake Beats by Dr.Dre sale. :P ( He got it with knowing that it is fake, I did not scam him )    Now I have 220 USD budget for this headphone thingy.   I am an intermediate ( !? ) audiophile and...
