Is microphonics a big deal for you? What is the most effective way you've used to reduce or eliminate it? Do you like using a clip vs over the ear? What would you pay for a permanent, very effective fix to microphonics on your own earphones without having to replace your earphones? Or is your...

I just placed an order for the RE0 and was wondering if an amp is a must. I have a i-pod classic 120gb and will be picking up a clip+ shortly.   Cheers Josh

Hey guys, I'm new at head-fi and only recently started reading up about earphones. I am using a HTC Legend (pretty good for a phone IMO) or iPod Nano as my source, and had a Creative EP-630 for 2 years till it broke a few days ago. I've decided to get something decent for a replacement, budget...

Hello,   I thoroughly enjoy reading the site and forums but have never posted before.   I've had the ZEROs for a month or two now and really like them. I previously used the CX300s and the difference was astounding.   My question is this, apart from customs, are there any IEM...

Hi, I need some recommendations for a pair of IEMs. I have a set of Sony 7506's from around 1990 and V6's from about 8 years later that I bought so I wouldn't have to carry the 7506's back and forth to work.  I love them.  I'm sure there are more expensive sets that might sound better, and...

hey guys i have been planning to buy new IEMs for my sansa fuze v2. i have selected Head Direct RE0, which according to the specs have a 64Ohm impedance. would i need an amp to drive these? if not, what are some alternatives? i liked the RE0s, because atleast on the this forum (head-fi)...

It seems these IEMS are used for a reference on A LOT of reviews on other IEMS, so are these the best at their price point?   Wikipedia: ERE Informatique, a French video game company »

I'm looking for a good IEM for less than 100 euros (postage to France included). The Head-Direct RE0 seems good for me, as I listen mostly to folk music, jazz and classical music. I'll use these IEMS exclusively when commuting in the subway or on the train. They'll be directly plugged on...

OK guys, here's my problem:   I have the Panasonic Cubic Zirconia IEMs and I love them except they have a straight plug. I'd like it to have a high quality L-plug so I'm looking for a good extension for it.    1) I'd like it to be short so I don't have to deal with too much extra cable. ...

OK. Before you say there not comparable, this thread is about value as much as it is about sound.   I want these headphones for use on an iPhone and laptop. I will listen to music and watch movies. Also, I prefer to wear them looped over-ear which might rule some out as some are better at...

Hello all, Ive been browsing these boards for some time and I decided after some time to get the Re Zero Limited Edition phones from Hifiman, After reading all the reviews I had understood that these phones are not bass heavy and are geared toward more detail oriented listening. I have to say...

There are just so many choices out there that is recommended. Is there a choice, under 100, that most people agree on is a good choice? I've been looking through alot of recommendations, but I dont know what is right for me since there is such a wide range of choices being offerend and...

Hi, I just got an iPod touch and I'm looking to upgrade from the Apple Earphones.  I mainly listen to techno, rock and jpop and was wondering what you guys would recommend for me!  Thanks :)

I bought a pair of Shure E3 a couple years ago, they've served me well but the connection on the right earphone is starting to mess up and so unless the cable's in a certain position, the sound cuts out completely on the right earphone.   I've been meaning to upgrade for a while, and was...

Hello All, first post but have been doing a lot of reading over the last couple weeks.  just wanted to write and say thanks for all the info.  So, I am a long time music fan with a wide range in tastes from the Dead/CSN (classic hippie) rock to Reggae, modern rock (U2, Smiths, etc.), some...

Okay, so I went and got the Sennheiser HD 595 headphones. I plan on using them with my laptop and I'm at least going to try them with my iPod to see what happens.   Ideally, I would want to listen to them powered correctly, and I really don't know much about headphone amplification.   I...

Just wondering if i should pick one up. Ill be using my iPhone 4 as a source.

Hi there, new to this place, found it today, and it seems to be a good place for questions about IEM's.   I've been looking to get a new pair of IEM's as an upgrade from my Cx300 II and it's quite hard to decide which one to get.    From reading forums and reviews this forum and watching...

  Hi! I have been on the search for some nice in-ear earphones to replace the original apple earbuds. My price range is about $50. The three earphones I am considering are The Sennheiser CX300-B (http://x.co/LWag), The Klipsch Image S2 (http://x.co/LWam), and The Sony MDR-EX300...

Introduction First, I’d like to thank Fang at Head-Direct once again for generously providing me with a RE-262 review sample.   HiFiMan has come a long way in just a few short years. Priding themselves on offering exceptional sound quality for a relatively low price, Their RE line of in ear...

At this time of writing, I see that this site ranks the Hifiman RE0 as the number one in-ear headphones (and for only $79).    For my in-ear headphones I currently use Apple In Ear Headphones (dual drive model), and was thinking of buying the RE0/RE-Zero. To anyone that has compared the...

I listen to a lot of K-Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, and House/Electronic music.   I have a couple of headphones in mind, but I'm not sure.   Some of the headphones that I've been reading reviews on: - Sunrise SW-Xcape - warm sounding re0, slightly more bass than the re0 and re-zero -...

Folks,   I loved my etymotic er-6i's riding the trains in Tokyo, but I always found the sound a little clinical and occasionally sibilant. Are there any headphones that offer a warmer sound (like Shure, Nuforce, or cans) but with equal isolation? I'm looking in the $100 range, including any...
