Hello! I am new to the forums, and have never had a good pair of earphones/headphones. My budget is $150, and I think I've found the ones I like. I listen to rap, some electronic, and some rock (ex. some imagine dragons, not a huge fan of Nirvana or bands along those lines) I currently have...

Hi all   Been massively absorbing information recently for my IEM purchase as my old one broke. I had a Bose in ear which recently died in 1 ear. I've also used the UE500vi before (again died in 1 ear) I use a JVC HA-RX900 with some modding for my computer and it's great with deep bass, great...

I've had the HiFiMan RE-400 IEM's for about 6th months now, but I've had to cycle through three different pairs because one of the left or right channels would go out. I took very good care of them, and after my third pair broke, I decided that it would be best to just get some IEM's with better...

Hi Guys,    I am just wondering if anybody has any good portable tube amp to recommend? Hopefully, it will come with a DAC for a iPhone5. I am hoping to use it for travelling to the office and in the office.    I have being using a Sony PHA-1, I kind of like it, but the problem is with the...

Hi all, lurker for a good while, first time poster.    I'm having trouble deciding between the RE-400 or the Rock It Sounds R-50. I had the RE-0s years ago and I really liked them. Unfortunately, they broke and I never got them replaced. I appreciate a detailed, neutral sound. I also have...

Greetings, brothers and sisters of Head-fi.org!        HeadAmp here inquiring about a new purchase for my desktop HTPC.  I am looking to free up the lone PCIe slot on my HTPC's motherboard (ASRock B85M-ITX) by replacing my ASUS Xonar Essence STX PCIe sound card with a significant external...

For iphone 5 , electronic and rock. I already have the Shure se215 , so I'm looking for someone of that level. I'm not using the se215 because they're over-ear and I need in-ear. also,sound isolating is important. Thx.

What can you recommend? I really want to get the 400's but the build issues are killing me, I mean how hard is it to build a great headphone companys? I think I have had a whopping 1 headphone that didnt go to hell on me, a cheapy senn.

I have the XBA3 right now and like them a lot but I am looking to upgrade, anyone have experience with both? Thoughts?

Im looking to buy between these two. Has anyone compared them or has anything to say about them? Ive listened to previously bassy earbuds in the past, but ive tended to eq them down. Im fine with a balanced sound. In fact, something more analytical is what i am looking for. But I also want...

Alright, after a good 16-20 hours of listening these past 3 days, and hearing one song that I was left awestruck on my ASG-1s, I feel I have enough ammunition to do a decent review of these new IEMs of mine. I'll probably do a site based review as well (these need more proper ratings). I'm also...

hey, guys Between these, the Etymotic MC5 and the RE-400, which one do you think suits metal better?   I mainly want to listen to electric guitars and vocal with a good amount to detail and I don't care much for the amount of bass.   Feel free to make suggestions.   Thanks

I need some new headphones for work and I have been looking at the Shure SE215-K and Hifiman RE-400. I have a Sansa Clip+ Rockboxed and I do have a FIIO E11 (if I need to use it for IEMs, but more likely not). I currently use the Hifiman HE-500 with Schiit Lyr for my home audio. I love the...

Hey Head-fi,   I've heard nothing but praise for the HiFiMan RE-400, and I was wondering if it would be worth it to buy as a replacement for Monster Turbines.  In other words, would I have fun listening to RE-400 for mainly the electronic genres after being used to bass heavy headphones like...

Chord&Major Tonal Earphone Collection Review (2013 editions?)     Never heard of Chord&Major? I don't blame you; their exposure is still very limited and, truth be told, I haven't heard of them either until two months ago.   For this review, I believe the contents can get a little...

I'm looking to add a tube headphone amp to my vinyl listening. Current setup is/will be:   Project Essential 2/Debut 3SE/Rega RP1 (imminent purchase to be based on previewing where possible) NAD 3020i (I've tried various other lower end amps and I just prefer this one for the phono stage)...

Hi there guys i guess i am like most else people on here looking for a pair of In Ears that fit my needs.   ive been looking around the forum all day read about various IEMs and not yet found a pair that feels all the way for me.    Currently i am using a pair of Denon AH-D2000 (excellent...

Anyone know where I can get ear hooks from? I want to wear my RE400s over the ears but they keep falling off. I guess I got bad ears.

My RE-0s broke yesterday. I think it's just the 3.5mm jack that's at fault so I'm going to try swapping it off for another, and failing that re-cabling. They've served me well and i love their sound, but I can't see me using them for my daily commute in future for fear they'll die a proper...

Can anyone comment on the differences between the 400 and the A151 and 161? I'm looking at buying the 161 or the 400 but already have the 151. The 151 are a tad too warm sounding to my ears. I'm hoping the 400 is brighter, but the 161 can be had for a bit cheaper.

I'm currently looking to buy a new pair of headphones (in ear). I had a pair of Sennheiser CX 680s that a friend gave to me and I was very pleased with them. But they broke so now I'm trying to find something else that won't break after a year of use. I also just want them to sound good right...

(like the tips of the HF5,)  want the best accuracy and sound stage as I listen to New Age and Blues so mids need to be perfect./..with clean deep bass/ and crystal highs.      Anyone ever compare these two?   I need your expert opinion...thanks  will purchase this weekend so even if you only...

Hello everyone, I am in the market for a decent IEM, I really do not like the intrusiveness of IEMs but I will do my best to adjust to the discomfort as there is no substitute for the portability and quality of sound. I listen to a lot of EDM but also enjoy the occasional classic, jazz, rock...

Can anyone who has tried both compare these two IEMs which seem to be neck and neck for best sub-$100 IEM? Are there any other sub-$100 balance IEMs I should consider? I owned (and lost) the IE800s. I liked them a lot except I found the highs a bit grating. I also had concerns about the build...
