My HiFiMan RE-262's arrived today. I ordered them Sunday I think, so four days, I'm happy with that. Anyways, I opened them up and plugged into my iPhone4 and gave them a listen. Right off the bat the right side was muted, very recessed. I messed with positioning and still no good. I have an ear...

I'm looking towards purchasing a desktop amplifier that will work with: HiFiman HE-400's and the Sennheiser HD 598's. I would prefer if it stayed under $200, but I don't know what kind of amp will power them both. Other headphones that I might possibly use would be the Philips Citiscape Uptown...

The proliferation of all things headphone related over the last several years absolutely blows my mind.  It seems there are new players getting into the game each and every month, making it confusing even for folks who've been 'round these neck of the woods for more than a minute about potential...

Just found this forum - what a great resource. Done a fair amount of reading. The Concise Multi-IEM thread is fantastic. Using that and some other discussions as a reference I've got a few choices. Hoping to make the best first IEM choice based on my preferences.    I used to be an...

Hi, the title says it all, I need your expert opinions. My price range is between $250-$400.   I usually listen to Classical, Alternative Rock, Dubstep, and some Rap. I'd like a good amount bass impact but it doesn't need to be the main focus.  I'll also probably be working out in these...

Hi there,   Can anyone recommend me a good IEM or an In-Ear Earphone?   Below are my details: -   My Rig: iPod touch   Usage: Music   File format: 320kbps mp3 or Apple lossless   Music genre: Pop, Instrumental/ New Age   Type: IEM or In-Ear earphone  ...

I like neutral sound signature something nice and smooth and beautiful clarity. Price range from 100$-200$. I was wondering if the hifiman he-262 wouid be my choice or maybe the audio technica?

Hi all, some guys here went from RE262 to GR07, because of fit issues;   my question is this: Do the GR07 really solves this? does it really fits into the ear MUCH better than the hifimans ?     -Eyal

Hi guys,   I'm kind of new to the In Ear Monitors. I'm looking for a budget quality pair of earphones and I think I've narrowed it down to these two (Etymotic Research HF5 or Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10). Was wondering which one I should get. I know the Ultimate Ears are a little more in cost...

I'm looking for some IEM's and I'm wondering if there are any good IEM's from HiFiman around ~$150. I don't care about how high the impedance is, as long as it can be powered from a FiiO e7 amp. Also, if you have one around this price range, could you write a review on it, or link me to one...

Hello guys. As you may notice i'm new around here, and i'm also new to the audiophile world. Now i just love music, can't live without her mainly Rock, Psy Rock, Progressive, Blues, but i'm open to mostly everything out there except maybe hip hop, so the extra bass issue just don't touches me...

I'm new in the forum, and it's the first time in my life I start a new thread. So, be kind with me  (and with my English)   My current gear is:    - AKG K324p IEM   - AKG 271 MKII + FIIO E10 Dac/Amp   The two headphones sound similar: it's a mid-type sound, and I really don't like...

So for anyone researching possible buys for this purpose I have a list containing the following so far: HiFiMAN RE-262 JAY-S QJAYS (Discontinued?) Shure SE215 Phonak 022 Weston UM1 My budget is max $200 so obviously your choices may differ with your available outlay!   Is there...

I want to buy a new pair of iems, im looking at the list of reviews, and i'm currently only interested in ones that are at an 8 or above sound quality wise, and close to a 5 in the other categories.   i was wondering if the re262's would be a good choice   i listen to basically every...

Hey guys/girls,   I recently sold my iPod Touch 2nd Gen and I'm looking to either buy an iPod Classic(5th or 7th Gen) or maybe an iPod touch 4th Gen 32GB.   I can't find any information about the sansa clip+ impedance(ohms). I went to sandisk forum and some mentioned that it was 16 ohms...

i use my d2000 for home listening and planning to get CIEM as soon as its financially viable, the thing is im currently caught in the middle and would like your opinions on what would be the definitive universal to get before going the CIEM route. the use of the universal im aiming for is...

Hi guys, I have some decent full-sized headphones for use at home (Ultrasone Pro 900, AKG K240, Audio Technica D40fs) but when traveling, I use a cheap pair of Sennheiser CX300-II which is possibly a fake.   I'm willing to spend $150US at the most. I already have a couple of portable...

Does anyone have any recommendations for IEMs that fit really well when laying side ways? I love my current headphones, AD700s, but they're impossible to lay sideways with. I was thinking of going with the AT CKM500s because they'd have that AT house sound but I was also looking at the Hifiman...

Has anyone listened to them both, if so what are the differences and similarties.I have the RE262 but im not satisfied with the bass and the treble is too laid back. I'm wondering if I should pay $300 dollars for the E-Q7 if they aren't even an upgrade to the RE-262. I need help people.

Hello everyone. Im starting on the audiophile world now.The best IEMs I had were a cx500 and a CKM55, both broke down, and now Im going for something better. Im between buying a re262 along with a fiio E7 or just an UE Triple.fi.10.Both options would cost me around 250 dollars because the...

Hi, I'm a new user, though I have been creeping around forum posts for couple months now. I'm looking for some opinions on a great pair of IEMS, preferably under 200 dollars. I realize that there are so many of these posts here on head-fi, but I really can't decide, so I thought I would see...

Hiya! This is my first post here, but I been looking around here for a week before joining!    Lets get down to business, I'm pretty much content with the q701 and would love to be able to have some IEM's with similar sound signature. Yeah, q701 is a bit big to take out often... I will not...

I'm a newbie to higher-end IEMs and after doing a lot of reading around this site I decided to get the Klipsch S4s...well I really didn't like the wire on the S4s and returned them. After doing more research and up-ing my budget I bought a set of Brainwavz B2s. I really like how clear the B2s...

Hey guys,   This is going to be a long post, so hang in there. I've recently been getting into Head-Fi again, which is doing wonders for my wallet. Anyway, I'm looking for an improvement on my current IEMs, which are UE Triple.Fi 10s with Chris_Himself cables. I really do like these IEMs a...

Hello head-fi, I've spent some time in this website because I wanted to get a decent IEM and members around here know a lot. After reading reviews and checking out this thread ...
