Hey Head-fi'ers,   I have been reading about the Hifiman RE262 lately. It looks like everybody seems to be liking them. I especially like to try them because I have a HJE900 which I guess is somewhat opposite to RE262. My first confusion is are these headphone out yet? Because Head direct...

I am finally able to bring you my review of the Mi-1 custom in-ear monitor made by Minerva Hearing Protection. The Mi-1 is Minerva's entry-level single balanced armature custom in-ear monitor made of silicone.   Manufacturers product page...

Hey Guys, now, i've got 1 day today to decide between RE-ZERO ans RE0s. my RE0s died a day before yesterday, and i'd be getting the replacement -or- a pair of RE-ZEROs as a replacement   the points to be taken care of are below: i)if i get the RE0s, the money i have would be spent in...

  My RE-ZEROs came in earlier today. Here are my initial impressions after a few hours of usage. I doubt any of this will be educational to experienced IEM users. As my first pair of IEMs, I figure my initial impressions may matter to others who are considering these as their first pair as...

Hi all,   I'm wondering if someone will be able to suggest an IEM for me.   I have Sony Walkman NWZ-A845 (currently I have Ety ER6i and also MC5). I am happy with the clarity of both IEMs but It is abit lacking of bass punches. I have been thinking of getting the Custom Fit for my MC5...

I'm pretty new to all of this, but after a few posts and a lot of scrolling through (see: trolling) the different areas of this site I have learned a lot. I've decided to go with a sansa clip+ so I can spend some more money elsewhere. My two main choices are:   RE-ZERO with Fiio E5 amp and...

Hey guys,   I recently bought the HiFiMAN RE-ZERO and their quality inspired me to start a HiFiMAN Facebook page - please find the URL below.   http://www.facebook.com/pages/HiFiMAN/181883221844545?v=wall&ref=pdem   Many Thanks, Windsor

Ok, I know there is a million threads about things like this, but I really can't decide due to my music tests being so, well, varied.    I am looking at some iems around £80 which due to the UK market getting screwed by taxes, you can assume to be $80. At the moment I have a pair of...

Hi guys, i posted a topic a few days ago, i asked for advice on chosing a new pair of IEM for me, and i kind of narrowed it down to RE-ZERO and HF5..   Im planning to buy a portable Amp and DAC too, which is the Fiio E7 because it suitable for my budget lol. I've read some reviews about the...

Hi guys im  a new guy here in head-fi, and i need some advices. I've been collecting some low end earphones, and i thought that im ready to go higher. I like some clarity and tight bass from my earphone, i have some choices in my mind,, but  i just cant make up my mind, they are:   1...

After 30 hours burnin here is my thoughts.  Using sansa clip+ rockboxed   #1. I have had tons of headphones and hate those silicone tips they give you with them. The xcapes is no different.  What I did it took the rubberized tips that came with my Sennheiser CX 500's and they work perfectly...

I just got a new HTC Inspire 4g, which will allow me to have music on the go now. I had an Iphone, bu the input jack was broken. I've read through a lot of the reviews of the universal fits, but it's difficult to weed through, and I've yet to find a review that mentions the genre of music that I...

I've looked around as much as possible, before feeling I just need to post and ask. I have decided to get the RE-ZERO over the RE-0. I know that the source will have a big impact on the quality that comes through these bad boys, and i know there's the whole balanced cord business as opposed to...

Really annoying, because I really loved them. I love and need the best isolation and I thought these were pretty good at it. The sound was great and I was happy with them until I lost them somewhere (probably at the beach).   Anyway, I need replacements, and even though I threw up the idea...

Hey Head-Fi community, new guy here looking for some advice on what to get for my iTouch, preferably in-ear monitors. I am out a lot, I run every day, do work around the neighborhood and would like a pair that can keep out noise that isn't my music. Would prefer in-ears but if they aren't the...

Let me begin by thanking everyone who helped me in this strange world of high fidelity audio. I recently thanked the community for taking me outside the dark abyss that was my desire to own Beats headphones. Though I did a little reviewing in that thread, It is more appropriate to create a...

Hey, all. I've recently been entertaining the thought of buying some Thinksound earphones, but I'm not sure which one to get. I currently have Grado SR-80i's and the old Sennheiser PX-100's, and I actually enjoy the dark, smooth sound of the Sennheiser's a bit more than the liveliness and...

Hi,   It's been a long time since I last checked this forum. I'm again in the market for some IEM's in the 100-150$ price range.   Regarding my prefered sound signature, I listen to anything from jazz & blues to electronic. Previously I have owned and liked the Westones UM2. I must...

Hey Guys finally, my RE0s arrived. they are the ones with the L shaped pigtail. now, here comes the important part. i am hugely dissapointed with the quality. do these need some burn in? i paid more than $100 for these because i live in india and shipping charges and everything u know...

My first large outlay of currency for a headphone was for the Beats Pro model in late December. I got them, and they did sound good. However, They were very uncomfortable and simply too bulky to be portable. I paid $300 at the time, and I could't reconsile that much money for headphones that I...

Hello folks,   This is my first message here so forgive me if it is not the correct section.   I have a query. I've bought a pair of RE-ZERO. I'm completely satisfied with them a part from a HUGE problem.   The only tips provided that fit me properly giving me a perfect sound...

RE-ZERO Pros Sounds great un-amped Better bass/mids than RE0 Slightly better build quality (?)   Cons That adapter    RE0 Pros Extremely clear highs No adapter    Cons Would sound noticeably better amped Lapse of bass   The Situation:   I will be using...

Ive been thinking about this all day: why do the RE-ZERO's have a cable that almost no one can use, thus forcing you to use an inconvenient adapter? These looked like my perfect IEMS, but I would be traveling with them every day.    I can foresee myself growing to hate that adapter.   ...

Hello everyone, I am a rather new member this will be my second post so try not to burn me to much if this is the wrong forum section to ask in. Apologies in advance if needed.   But anyways I have recently been very interested in getting a quality set of headphones. Currently i use a cheap...

Hey guys,   My account is brand new however I have actually done quite a bit of reading here in the past. I was convinced it was worth spending money on Grado 80s and I was not disappointed.   Now on to the question. I don’t have any experience with describing audio characteristics so...
