First, apologies for the wall of text, I didn’t have time to write it short. And also apologies because its not a great review as much as it is a personal head-fi epiphany, so if you find this useless or dull, you have been warned J.   So I wasn't too impressed with the RE-ZEROs that I...

I'm quite late to the party, and I've just found out that the RE0's are supposed to be quite amazing, so my question to you, experts of Head-Fi, is whether I should get them or not. $50 is reasonable by any standard, but I've heard these headphones have durability issues and what not. Have...

Hi All,   This is my first post, so please be gentle...lol   Anyway, I'm currently looking for an IEM similar in presentation to my AKG K550 over ear cans. I did just pick up some Sennheiser IE 80, unheard, but they are not at all what I'm looking for. What I'm after is a nice clear mid...

hello i was lead to this site because of all the wealth of knowledge about headphones ,iem ect.. i am very virgin about it all but have been doing some reading here and other sites i have a budget of max 400$ i listen to all types of music im not a bass head but i would like to hear the song...

I've been curious about this for while... What are the highest impedance IEMs on the market at the moment?   There is plenty of voltage at the source to burn so sensitivity is not an issue, just want them to be high impedance so they can be easy on the output stage.   So far I could...

 My specific needs:   - Listen to classical music (and music where it's all about instruments), alternative rock, pop music, and other mainstream music. Nothing too hardcore for my ears that would make it bleed or hurt.   - Can block outside noises decently (I don't know if...

This is quite the deal for anyone who has not yet tried these:   http://head-direct.com/Products/?act=detail&id=38   Currently backordered, but worth waiting for, especially at this price.

Hi,   I'm in the market for some IEMs, however I live in South Korea and the differences in choice and price can be huge compared to the U.S or Europe. So, rather tell you what my budget is, it's probably better to tell you what I've found out I can afford after doing a little research.  ...

I have a 10 yr old pr of Grado SR80, which I like, and RE-0 from HiFiMan, plus a couple Yuin...  All sub-$100.  I'm waffling between Senn HD-25-1 ll and V Moda crossfade m80 right now.  I'll probably use them primarily at home, mostly direct from a tube CDP (Eastern Electric minimax, which...

I need headphones that make voices (in the songs) clear and are very well all around.   Some examples of artists I listen to: Maroon 5, Adele, Christina Perri, Bruno Mars, and Orchestral music (Basically violin/cello with a piano).   The orchestral music is my favorite, like I want to...

Long time listener, first time caller. I am currently looking for a set of IEMs in the $80 price range. Have no preference but do currently own a set of monster turbine pro gold which I love - i am looking for a set for my son. Considering monster turbine, shure 215, etymotic hf3/5, head direct...

As the title states Im looking for a set of IEMs that shine when listening to trance. My budget is ~$50. After some research I have the selection limited to the Soundmagic E30, Brainwavz M5, or Brainwavz R1. Im not quite sure which direction to head into from here and some help would be...

Greets from snowy Russia, folks.   I need your help in choosing IEMs under $300 (shipped) for my Cowon D2 and FiiO E17. Seacrch conditions are as follows:   1. Not-colored or low-colored super high-detail sound.  2. Solid contruction and strong cable. 3. High impendance(?). Since I'm...

Hello, im searching for new earphones. Which in-ear earphones are the best for this price ? (around 60$) Thanks and sry for bad english ^^

I hate being 'that guy' that posts yet another 'help me chose what to buy thread' but I have some tight requirements and I can't figure out what to dump money on. Anyway here's what I would like to get my hands on: -Circumaural -Large sound stage -Similar sound profile to Sennheiser...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for new in ear headphones, but I can't decide which one is the best for the music I like. So i hope you could give me some advice. I mainly listen to Rock music, but I also listen much to Pop/Dance/House/DnB. I know music is mainly personal experience, but I just...

I've been looking for a deal on IEMs and a deal popped up today, but I'm not sure how good these are.  Before this, I was thinking about the RE0 earphones, but those are $50.  I have the $8 Monoprice IEMs, and they are decent for now.   At 1:30pm EST, Amazon has a lighting deal on...

Hello there, I'm going to buy a portable AMP+DAC that I'm 99% sure will be a Fiio E17. Looking for something in the 100-120€ price range, and these feature:   - good isolation - no sound coloration, good for audio editing also - least fatiguing possible, confortable for long sessions...

Hi everyone,   I currently own Head Direct Re0 but I need an iem with a bit more bass (not bass heavy) and thicker midrange. Is Silver Bullet better at these areas? I need direct comprasion who owns both iems. My music preference is %70 rock (especially Evanescence), %30 Classical and and...

Hello fellow Head-fiers,  Can you please point me in a direction for listening to classical music with IEMs? I'd prefer to keep the price between $50 and $100. The most important factor for me is durability, because I don't want to be buying new IEMs every month  I'm considering Hifiman...

Hi! I've spent the last weeks rolling around in reveiws and Head-Fi posts on $100-150 (~€100) IEMs... I'm a big fan of Audio Technica M50 which i use at home for electronic music producing and critical all-genre listening. I need a new pair of IEMs, mostly for critical listening at my...

  My hisound studios don't do well with low impedance IEMs, it gives off that fatal hiss everyone talks about.     The only IEM I have that is high impedance are the hifiman RE0.  They sound good, but I was looking for an upgrade from that and a little more bass wouldn't hurt heh

Hi guys , new here. im realy glad i found this site so i can finally, hoplefully get an answer.   So im looking for portable headphones\ earphones. the main purpose of them is listening to music and ofcourse portability since i am taking them to work( physical work) which is why i am...

Just wondering which IEM sounds way beyond it's price. One that you would buy even if it cost alot more? I guess.... one that you would call a sleeper in the low price world. :)

So my Klipsch x10s recently broke, so i need a new IEM. I'm on a $100 budget and im looking for an IEM with decent noise isolation, mid-centered with good highs; i don't care too much about bass, as long as it's existent. I'm a metalhead, but i do listen to some electronica,hip hop, and...
