Hello there!   About exactly two years ago I bought a pair of MDR-EX300's to replace my MDR-EX082's I got with my Walkman A series. I really liked those (especially the shape), but unfortunately they're impossible to find as most of them are fakes. So I got a pair of MDR-EX300's and I got to...

I'm looking to purchase a pair of vsonic GR07's some time in the near future but I'm wondering what kind of decibel reduction is present in IEMs.  I've only ever had headphones (ultrasone hfi-580 mmm) or ****ty poor quality earbuds (ipod, $20 sennheiser ones, all rubbish) and with the...

at a certain price point, something like 300-400$ which would generally sound better, an IEM or a full sized headphones. i know it depends on the specific set picked but lets just assume each are the best in the range.

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...

RE0s in terms of comfort and feel in the ear?   I only use two different IEMs, the RE0 and the TripleFi 10s, but would now like to upgrade to something that sounds better than the TripleFi, and more importantly, feels like if not better than the RE0 while in the ear.   I like the...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I have been using Bowers & Wilkins P5 for about 1 year and I'm happy with it, so I'm considering to get B&W C5, is it good? I want something that doesn't leak because I use bus and train to travel. I also want something that comfortable in my ears.  ...

Around $300 or less. Right now the JVC FX700s are my daily drivers but I guess I'm getting a little tired of the V signature and I'm missing the style of my old Brainwavz M1. I guess I could always just use them but I wouldn't mind trying out higher end IEMs.   Or perhaps something with the...

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

Hey guys, So, I purchased the Hifiman Re-262's a few months ago, and I absolutely love them. I had read that a portable amplifier was suggested to really have the 262s shine, so I added the FiiO e6 to the order. However, when I got the e6 it did not at all live up to my expectation, and made...

Here's my list:   1.  How do you get it to shuffle.  Did it accidentally once; but back to repeat now.   2.  How high does the volume go?  I could barely take 29 yesterday.  Let it run all night.  29 is only just above normal now.  I can only get it up to 31.  Don't tell me that is the...

I am in the market of purchasing a new IEM, but am having a hard time on deciding. I have been reading reviews for a little over a week now, and still can't decide. I currently have the Klipsch S4i and the AKG K350. In a recent post, I had stated I liked the S4i a little better, but after more...

Hi All,       Pretty simple request - want canalphones I can wear in bed to blank out any surrounding noise at night, so it doesnt matter if the level of isolation would be dangerous in traffic. I havent found any of the IEMs I have owned thus far - PL50, RE0, RE262, FA Omega and a couple of...

The only high-end IEM I've owned are the Monster Coppers, which I feel pretty underwhelmed with since I was expecting a much bigger Wow-factor after reading all the hype about high-end IEMs. I want my music to wow me and I want my favorite songs to sound as if I've never truly heard them before...

Hey all,   My 'reference' for good headphones are my HD650s with a music streamer ii+ and a Fii0 E9 amp (not amazing, but the best I've ever heard).  I'm looking at the Senn HD-25-1-ii, the DT 1350, and the Vmoda M-80s as good, closed, headphones mostly for the gym.   I'd go with IEMs...

Yes, the title is lame, but the purpose of the post isnt. As suggested, i require help from my fellow Head-fi-ians, whether its merely a recommendation based on a hunch, or one based on trial and error. I have spent COUNTLESS hours online researching what IEM would be best suited to my sound...

  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...

hey guys, i opened the re262 to find it has 3 additional cables, (grey, black, white) what's the point of all of these cables ? which cable(s) do i need to connect to use ? (i tried searching but found nothing.) thanks for reading

Ok, so i have spent countless hours (wasted) on google and every tech site i can find in regards to sub $100 IEMs. Every forum/post has answers but none seem to be specific to my needs, and merely generalisations. I have read conflicting reviews about most headphones, the three that caught...

Hi im looking for a new amp to power my RE262. I'll be using it with my Sansa Clip or my computer. I've been using the Fiio E6 for a while now, but i feel its time to upgrade. I want an amp full size or portable(preferably)  for $150 and under. I listen mainly to Iems.    My choices so far...

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...

Wondering if anyone can help me with my pursuit of >$150 IEMs. (might be willing to push it that far).    I'm looking for a pair of IEM ~$100 that are quick, have a warm dark sound, slightly rolled off highs so there isn't any shrillness or fatigue or clinical sound, good separation without...

My current go to buds are the RE-0 and HF-5.   In the near future I'm thinking of going to the RE-262.  A local electrons shop has the MDR-EX700LP for $149.00 cdn. (reg $249) I understand they have a 6 db sibilance which I think I can deal with.  Is their accuracy in line with of Hifimans...

Just purchased the RE-262 and have been listening to them for about 2 weeks.  I love the detail and clarity and the build/fit is really nice.  However the mids seem to forward to me and the overall sound is alittle "hollow" for my tastes.  I prefer a balanced sound, the PFE-112 is one of my...

I am in new to headphones and am in the market for both a set of full-size headphones as well as a pair of IEM's.  I really enjoy the sound of my B&W 802D's - a rich, warm sound.  To me, some of the other reference speakers sound too bright or even "shrilly" to my ear - for instance, Revel and...

As the title suggests. I am upgrading from my SE215's (a whopping 10 days later) and I need some sound advice on what I should look into. Price isn't really a problem though at this time I would like to keep it around $250 or less. I feel like, pricing, isn't really an accurate factor in what...
