Hello,     I have had Klipsh s4 for about a year now and i think i want to take a step up and get a more expensive pair of IE headphones. Im thinking of getting the Ultimate Ear 700 or the etymotic hf5. How do these compare to the klipsh or any other sub 150 IE headphone. I listen to a...

Hello all, I had Head-Direct RE0's for over a year and now for the third time I got loose connections and I hear music only in one ear. Unfortunately my warranty is over and since I keep getting loose connections on every pair of headphones I ever posses I will lower my budget this time.  ...

Yeah, yeah. I know, better than most, get some full sized cans for gaming.   I can't. Every headphone I try hurts my neck. I have injured it a few times and now even Stax are too heavy. So I need something like an IEM for occasional pc gaming. I use speakers 90% of the time but my wife...

First off, I was looking at the buying guide by price range ( http://www.head-fi.org/wiki/buying-guide-headphones-by-price-range )   I am looking for a cheap-ish IEM for general use, gym and so on. Currently using PL-30 with my Clip+, occassionally with a cMoy (I am going to get a E7 soon...

hello,   my klipsch Image X1s have died after eight months of my previous pair, and although they are still under warranty, i want to try something different. i've read that the re-zeros out-perform more expensive earphones, and they are not too cheap, but not too expensive, either. i will...

Well, I'll first say that this is my first post on this forum. I wouldn't consider myself to be a hardcore audiophile, and don't want to buy many pairs of headphones. Instead, i'd rather just get 1 or 2 really good headphones that suit my needs. Anyways, I'm currently using Audio Technical ATH...

Hello everyone!   My 2nd pair of RE-ZERO crapped out on me shortly after the end of the warranty period. Therefore I am in the search for a replacement. I'd rather not buy another pair of RE-ZERO though, mainly due to concern over the build quality. After some research I am leaning towards...

When I am wearing these IEMs, if the left earpiece is in my ear it will not produce sound. If I push on it gently, it starts working as if normal. But when there is negative pressure from the earpiece sealing in my earcanal, it doesn't work. This just started today and the right earpiece works...

Hi, I,m looking for a good set of headphones that have a good boost on the highs since I'm a treble head. I'm thinking of getting the grado 60s but not sure, any sugestions would help,    my price range is $0 - $100 the less the better, they MUST be portable, my senn 555s are amazing but not...

First time posting, long time lurker. I just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to the world of headphones. Started with Apple Buds > V-Moda Bass Freq > CX300s > HD 555s > RE0's > RE0's w/ foam mod. Strangely enough, I started to like highs more than lows the more I lurked in these...

hey guys i am building a rig for my brother. have a 16gb Nano 5g for him set up. he has my Sennheiser HD 212 Pros, but i need them for studying here in college. What IEMs or portable headphones do i get him? he loves my RE0s in the current rig. Also, i got the Nano at a low price, so i...

Hi,   I am looking for a recommendation for a suitable headphone which would complement the following:   Music genre: Radiohead, Portishead, Muse, with occasional Classsical and other Indie tunes.  The aforementioned are main, but every so often will like to listen to Heavy Metal/Nu...

I am planning to buy a new IEM for fuse+ and my budget is upto $100. I am satisfied with the stock earbud's sound signature and suggest me the IEM with this same sound signature with better and clean sound. Mostly I will be listening to Rock/Metal music genre. Bass should be punchy/tight...

You just know that Arial or Dax, percil etc have their best formula sitting in a vault, they have no financial motive for ever releasing it. Is it the same with headphones? I cant believe that it is not possible to model headphones in a similar manner to speakers and come up with the optimil...

My RE-0 left emitter just died. I've had them barely three months. My Monster Jamz did that to me also. Just what is it that breaks? The cables don't seem faulty. I know the wiring inside the bud is very thin stuff, does it melt or separate? Can it be repaired. The one thing in common is that...

I'm looking to pay around $100, but the price is flexible. I like detailed lows, but other than that I'm open to a variety of sound signatures. A detailed or wide sound stage is a pro, but not a major concern. I'll mostly be using these on plane or bus rides, so comfort is a plus. I prefer stems...

By " go-to " I mean what you always seem to go back to even through the vast amount of IEM's or headphones you may have.

I have RE-ZERO. I am thinking about adding ER4P because of its isolation.   Is ER4P going to sound better than RE-ZERO without amp?   Thanks

I have only recently started using headphones, purchased some ATH-AD900's and love the new detail I am discovering in music.   They are connected to my computer through a USB Musiland MD10 DAC I had lying around, mainly FLAC and APE,   Now looking to get some IEM's for use with iPod...

Hi all, I love music but have always settled for cheap as I can get headphones, but now I would like to try and get more out of my music. I'm looking for some IEMs in the sub 100$ / £70 price range, I won't be using an Amp or anything, just my iPod. As for music tastes, I listen to a lot of...

I'm going to be getting a lot of cash soon. I'm going to be riding my bike a lot for school and working out at the gym, so I'm in need of something not bulky like my pair of M50s.   I know I want to get the Re0/Re-zero. But I cannot decide on what to get.   I like to listen to Metal...

I got a set of Hifiman RE0 in the mail today. They include a few different earpieces (the rubber bit, olive-style and double flange). Is there some magic method to putting them on? Removal is easy, but I discovered that the hole in the earpiece is significantly smaller than the output side of...

Hi, im getting tired of dragging my DT770 Pro with me on the bus and considering buying some IEMs. I would not like to spend more than 100bucks as I am not convinced IEMs is my thing. (A more portable closed headphone at the same price can also   Source is a Sansa Clip+ w/ Fiio E5 amp. I...
