I've been reading around the forum for a while now and living my life reading and searching...but I still need some help!   I've had some SE215's for a while now and they just don't hit the mark in terms of bass.  They're also too bright sounding for my tastes.   I listen to mostly...

I have decided on these for my first mid tier IEMs. Right now the best deal I can find is for $150 including shipping, but I've heard it often can be found for cheaper.  I'm interested in the Onyx Black version only (product # 010-045).  What's the cheapest you guys have seen them/bought them...

Howdy,   I'm looking to upgrade from my current slightly modded V-Moda chrome rouge (not difficult according to various Head-fi comments!). the V-Moda does sound very boomy and uncontrolled in a quiet environment, however I quite like the sound for using outdoors as the bass cuts through...

Hey y'all,   I have a pair of Atrio M5's that have lasted me about 5 years of abuse, and finally bit the dust (I think the right driver blew up). I'm looking to replace them, and I really enjoyed the M5's so I have been thinking about getting them again (from http://www.atrio.me/ for $99...

Hi all I know there are a few active "deal alerts" treads kicking around but almost all the deals is limited to address in the States. And, if not the shipping or taxes are sometimes stupidly high. Also going through trying to find which one is for Canada is bit of a pain.    Sooo though I...

Has anyone had the privilege of comparing these two yet? I am looking for an upgrade from my SE215 and essentially I want better clarity and moar bass  I'm looking for something that isn't warm or dark. My nicest phones are the Phiaton MS400, and while I love and enjoy them, they just seem dull...

Hi! like in my title, i have been looking for a good pair of IEM's, primarily for rock (metal, thrash, ect...) and i have a 150$ budget (under 100 would be awsome, but between 100 and 150 would be good too). i have been doing alot of reaserch and it is very hard to find out what IEM is good...

I brought GR07 few days back and i really liked the detail, presentation and sound reproduction of these phones however what i felt (IMHO) is that it lacks bass (quality bass but not enough to enjoy), build finish (durabled however finish is below par for that price) and too much detail to...

....that I have been lurking around here. But that was for the best of all reasons: I was very satisfied with my super-fi 5s :) But now they are starting to fall apart and I fear that I have to look for some new in-ears. What would you say: which are closest to the sf 5s? I like the slightly...

Hey everyone. Some of you might remember me from a while ago. I've been out of the high-fi thing for a while, but since I finally have some spare cash again I am considering buying some nice IEMS again. A little about my experiences:   I have owned the IE8, W3, UM3X, PFE, HD25, E2C, ER6i...

I've bee really considering new iems. I currently have non monitor imo (beats tour, old bose in ears, and some old vibe duos) but was looking to upgrade to something like sony mdr ex1000. I was interested because of the whopping 16mm drives and have herd great things about the bass. Should I...

Hey everyone,   First off I'm a long time lurker here at these forums and I can't appreciate enough how much help they've given me. I purchased some monster turbines from ebay 2-3 years ago (still not sure if they're genuine or not :\) and am ready to upgrade.   I mainly listen to the...

Hey Head-Fi,   This is a preemptive Help Wanted ad to help us gauge interest. We are launching something somewhere for the first time. Exciting, right?   It will involve you buying our tips. WAIT -- stay with me. You'll need to buy our tips, but we will reimburse you (and possibly...

Is there a dynamic iem with the stem diameter of the westone or shure models?  I cant live without the um56 tips, but I just want to try something.  The monsters were way too big to smush on there.   Any ideas?    

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...

  Hi there, I've been searching around for an advice on upgrading from Image S4 and all the roads seems to lead head-fi. I've read couple threads of similar topic, but people that were asking this question seemed to had more money to burn than me, hope it is not too big of problem for me to...

Hi so i've had etymotic HF2 for over an year. Im really happy with their clarity and the crisp sound that they produce, but can't  get enough bass, i found the perfect which makes the signature slightly warmer, makes me feel like there is bass, while the clarity remains, but can't get the thump...

I just recently came into possession of some Triple-Fi 10's which I find to be incredible in-ear monitors. However......I don't feel like I really am WOW'D by them, just pleasantly surprised. By no means do I feel ripped off, because I did get them used and at an incredible price (thanks...

I'm thinking of upgrading to a new set of IEMs in next couple months or so, and I've narrowed my choices (based on the budget I decided to allocate) to either the Sleek SA6's or the UE Triple Fi 10. I'd like to hear your opinions (particularly those who've heard both before) on which you feel...

I don't need anything absolutely, mind blowingly amazing. I just want something better than ibuds that can actually make my FLAC worthwhile.   I work around cars a lot, so I'd rather them not be sounds isolating. Thanks. Best I've found so far are the Shure SE530's but I really dont want to...

Which one has deeper bass, more bass quantity, more texturized bass, more bass detail...etc...   Thanks in advance!!

Sorry for the flashy title but yeah, its time for a poll. Which do you prefer?

I need a new pair of IEMs to wear at my job. I need for them to offer very good isolation as I work with puppies and they get very loud. Another big factor would be comfort, my current pair just aren't very comfortable. A few other factors, very low microphonics, a price tag of under 150$. The...

I've heard that the Atrio is meant to be like an 'IEM HD650' but, for those who've heard both, how does the bass among these two compare in quantity, extension, definition and impact?

Almost 3 years ago I picked up my long dreamed pair of Atrio M5 after the reversion 2 reached the Asian shore. It was the tale about the legendary subwoofer-in-the-ear that attracted me the most, and it certainly wasn’t disappointing at the bass performance. But M5 rev2 wasn’t really turn out to...
