I'm fairly settled on the Shure se215, Westone 1, or the HiFiMAN RE-400. I have used the ATH M50's for the past year and love their sound signature. The summer is simply too hot to be wearing them around so I decided on a pair of IEMs. I listen to rock, metal and classical. Any advice would be...

As the title states I'm new to iems and would love some advice. I am looking for something for when im at work. I currently have a cheap pair of sony MDREX-10LP. I had stumbled onto the klipsch image s4a ii however I wanted to do some research and found this amazing site. So I have been reading...

Hey everyone, I've been using my AKG K450's for a while now and I wanted to get myself of IEM's. My budget is 100$ but I could go up a notch if the product worths it. I've been thinking about the Rock-it R-50 because they have been praised so much. Another pair that I've been keeping my...

Hi everyone,   recently, the re600 has been on black friday/christmas sale for around 200 dollars. Is this just for now or is Hifiman trying to permanently alter the price of the earbuds?   Any thoughts on this? I think it might be permanent because they did not sell very well at the $400...

My Bose IE2s died, so I need new earbuds, but it's very hard to figure out what would be the best choice for me. What I'm looking for is nice, clear and balanced sound, as well as a sturdy and comfortable design within or close to the 100-200 price range. I have yet to find a pair as...

Couldn't seem to find the recommendation thread, if there even was one.   Anyhow going travelling in 2 weeks so need some half decent ones and i'll be doing allot of long journeys.  I raised my budget to £200 as IEMs are easy to keep safe and i won't be taking any form of DAC. The source...

I've been toying with the idea of getting a new pair of in-ear headphones, and recently the Thinksound ms01 has come to my attention. The thing is, I already do pretty much all of my listening with my HiFiMan RE-400's, which I understand are some of the best IEM's in their price range. I like...

hey guys as the title states, I was thinking of the GR07 from Vsonic or the RE-400 from hifiman, read reviews that they are on the warm side but I'm not sure which  one to get.

Hi guys , i wanna buy one earphone or IEM  but i have only $100 to spend on it . I listen only to thrash metal , death and black . And i wanna use this phone in a gym , bus etc .  What phone do you guys think are good to me? Thanks !

I've been looking for a good pair of in ear headphones for some time now. I've been looking at 1)Klipsch image s4 2)Hifiman re 400 3)shure se215 Any impressions on these headphones would be nice.  Plus, I would like other recommendations, especially if you own a pair for around $100...

Hi all, So my RE-400's are going out on me. The cable is failing and it takes a LOT of tweaking to get full sound out of both speakers. Does anyone know the warranty on them? I can't find it on the site. Regardless, I purchased them in April '13 so I'm guessing I'm out of luck. What do you...

Disclaimer -- I'm not an expert and just trying to articulate my initial impressions for feedback from knowledgable folks. Just got new IEMs, went with IE80s now that my RE-400's are failing. I knew it was going to be a big change, and took the jump anyway -- I'm not sure how I feel about them...

So I bought the Shure SE535 expecting that it would destroy my designer B&W P5 (much cheaper than the Shure SE535), however it doesn't. It has got a different character but I wouldn't say it's better. ( the shure sounds cleaner, thinner but more seperation while the B&W sounds full and warm )...

Hey, I've been recently looking at getting a new pair of IEM's since I broke my old klipsch S4's. I would love to find something with a similar sound to my ATH-M50's under Or around $150's if at all possible. The reasons I like the sound of the M50's is because I love bass but don't want it to...

Hifiman announced their new collaboration with UM yesterday, and they are launching a new custom iem! From what I could understand, the innovation comes from the nano-materials used...       http://sound.zol.com.cn/499/4998701.html 

In my search for THE earphones, I have just about given up on trying to find a stock model that really fits.   So just before seeking out an audiologist, I decided to try some Complys. But for which model? My drawers are filled with unused Shure, Westone,, Vsonic, RHA and others.   Where to...

I have been doing research for the past like two hours looking for a good pair of headphones to use on my phone for listening to mainly metal, screamo, punk, etc. Everybody recommends the Grados, but I can't do them due to the fact I'm a high school student and really don't want the person next...

I work at a welding and fabrication business and it is VERY loud. So isolation is #1 on my wish list. #2 is sound,Accurate and balanced overall,with a little bit more bass presence than that on the high end for the cello. #3 is durability. Like I said,metal shop. So it might get dinged from...

I'm looking for some in ears. I usually hate in ears, but I travel so much and I'm tired of lugging my athm50 around Something mid centric (I love my grados) for metal....I don't want bass head at all but a slightly elevated bass would be nice. I like my athm50 but the recessed mids are not my...

I don't see anyone talking about the RE-400 for $79. Is there a better IEM for the price?

Ok so I imagine they have a bigger soundstage and probably more bass?   I am looking into these:   http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666597734#specifications   I will also be getting the HiFiman RE400...

Hi everyone! This is my first "help me" post here on Head-fi.org. I would love your opinions and recommendations! I owned a pare of klipsch s4 back in 2012. I loved them! Nice sound but the quality wasn't that great. I listen to hip hop, dub and house! Now i have been looking for a...

Im not talking just pretty good sounding iems, Im talking high end sound but with great build quality, I looked at the ultimate ears 900 but I am hearing issues with the cables, I was looking at head direct but I had build issues with RE0. Is westone 4R a good bet?

I'm looking for a new universal iem for $300 max, but I'm not sure what to get.  I've tried the Rockit R-50 and liked the instrument separation and details, but it there wasn't enough bass and it sounded lifeless.  I also didn't really like the Vsonic GR07.  I'm looking at the RE-400, but it...
