Hi there, This is my first post here but I've been a distant and interested observer for a while. I would like to ask some advice though, I recently lost my IEM's a pair of sony mdr-ex90's I really liked them but I feel that that act of stupidity was a sign for a change.

IEM/Canal phone with awesome soundstaging capabilities?
First off, hi! :) It's been quite a long time since I've made a post on these forums, over a year I think. I usually post in the full size forum, but I am in dire need of something smaller now. As a background, I am an avid gamer. I travel around the US going to gaming events...- themanbeast

Fischer DBA-02 or Klipsch image x10 (please help!)
Hello Head fiers, First of all i am asking because there are very little posts on the Fischer DBA-02. I heard that the DBA-02 are similar to the Westone 3, is that true? Are the DBA any good, how do they compare to the x10's? Which of the two have more bass? Thanks...- djbasketball1

[REVIEW] HifiMan RE262 – A Beautiful Voice
First, I’ll like to thanks Head-Direct for the review sample. Also I’ll like to point out that this particular RE262 is part of the HifiMan HM602 bundle so it is from an early production. The final product will be the same, but with better printing and logo on the box. The final retail price of...- ClieOS

The Most Neutral $100 IEM?
If your budget is $100, and you wanted an IEM which is as neutral as possible, what would you choose? By neutral I mean lacking overt colouration, a decenly flat response curve, does treble, mids, and bass equally well. And all 'rounder. Probably some would consider this a boring sounding IEM...- AngryBaconGod

Looking to upgrade my IEMs
I have a budget of about $200; I really don't want to go higher than that. I used to own the Monster Turbines but I didn't like the fit (even with the comply tips) and the treble always kind of irked me.

If you could keep only one IEM, which one would it be?
HI! If you could only keep one single IEM/headphone of your whole collection, which one would you keep, and why?

For those of you who ever even remotely contemplated the RE-252...
Buy them. Right now I have a pile of earphones sitting on my desk as I very slowly and not so diligently amass a big review for all of them. (thread elsewhere but not important till I actually finish it up) I've used a number of other earphones along with the RE-252 in the past as well...- mvw2

CK-10 vs. CKM-99
Hi there, Does anyone know how these differ sound signature wise? They are both going for the same price online so are they comparable? Will the successor to the CK-10 be the CK-11 or does that sort of logic not apply? Thanks.- jamesfonda

Best (timbre) IEM?
So I have a PL30 and although it has far less detail and power as my W3, it seem to always do one thing better that is timbre. It sounds more realistic to my ears.
