As I understand it, hippo VB is all about sub-bass.  Eterna is about mid-bass and CSK-70 is a bit of both - correct?   I'm used to my Sony's and find too much rumble annoying - I assume I prefer mid-bass then?  I want tight punchy large bass!  The type of bass that moves a larger amount of...

Ive got a 60$ price range, im looking for used or new, doesnt matter.   I owned the fischer audio eterna for a while and loved them dearly, but im now looking for something with a bigger more spacious sound.  I prefer more colored than neutral sound, wider soundstage than tall ( if at all...

Hey, so far i've been using skullcandy in ear headphones, because they go really loud, and they dont blow too easy ;)    I listen to Dance type music..  with lots of bass, and i listen to Rap / Dubstep....   I need headphones that Go loud, wont blow from lots of bass..  and are about 100$ or...

  Hello boys and girls, nice to meet you all btw :). I am looking for new iems to replace my cx300ii. I plan to use them unamped with my 5800xm and my pc. The tricky part is that i have to order my new iems from somewhere inside the EU because otherwise i am in danger of getting my ass taxed...

First, I’ll like to thanks Uncle Wilson @ Jaben.net for the sample. To make it clear, Gumstick is OEM’ed by HiSound, the maker of Rocoo-A and quite a name for hot topic these days in the forum. Come with a class A biased amp inside, the main difference between the two models is that Gumstick...

First, I must admit, I didn't search for similar threads and I know I haven't read every thread out there, so maybe I've missed something along the way, but maybe someone can explain something to me.    There are single, dual and triple Balanced Armature universal IEM's out there in...

In your opinion, obviously, understanding that no two are the same, but just what you feel are similar animals. Label the category or just lump them together by similarity without a label. If you want to get fancy, list them in order of performance. For instance: "(DDM, R03, Hippo, M9) (CK10...

My old Goldring GX200's have broken and im in the market for some new 'phones. Ive been reading a lot and ive come down to a few choices now:   Head Direct RE0 PFE 012 Perfect Bass Hippo VB   I listen to RnB, Dubstep, Hip Hop, and a lot of Michael Jackson.   What would you guys...

I've been satisfied with my RE0 over the past few months. It was fun at first, going back through my songs and hearing them in higher clarity. However, the RE0 really is kind of boring. The dynamics can be dreary, and warmth is noticeably lacking.   I've decided that I really want something...

Hi,  I'm looking at getting a new pair of iem's soon which will be upgrade from my current M6's. I've been reading up on the hippo vb, which should be good for half my music taste (hip hop, electronic) but what i want to know is would the bass be precise enough on the vb's for Metal ( bands...

Hi, it's a month or more that i'm searching the frequency response of my hippo vb, but i can't find it anywhere. Have somebody seen it?

Hello,   I tried getting some full-size headphones to upgrade my current setup of Fiio E5 + Koss Portapro. After trying DT770pro/80ohm, (insufficient bass), and MDR-XB700 (enough bass, but of the wrong "type") i've decided that full-size headphones are not for me (at least, not for music...

I have a Zune and a Clip +, and I feel that they are a little underpowered when it comes to supplying some of my higher impedance cans with energy. Most noticeable is the lack of bass, even in some of my more bass heavy phones.   Rather than buy a new headphone, I would rather buy a new DAP...

Hi everyone,   First, thanks for checking out this post.  So, here's my situation.  I happily have and use Etymotics ER-4P headphones, with a first generation ipod shuffle (the long white one)  for portable audio.  I've been really happy with that combo for a long time.  HOWEVER, as 1st gen...

Last year, I made a thread and people helped me choose my first set of IEMs, the Denon AH-C710.  I liked the sound and was pleased with them, but unfortunately, I lost them last week.  I'm looking to get another pair, hopefully with better SQ than the Denons, but under 130.  After reviewing all...

Finally got around to reviewing all my Hippo Gear. Going to put up my Hippo Amplifier Review in the next couple of days. I'll be posting it here in this opening post. Just a quick overview...this is such a great little amplifier. I've been using it for awhile and it's absolutely wonderful as a...

I've been looking at the Hippo VBs, the Klipsch S4i, the FA Eterna, and the ATH CKS 70. I'm looking for something that has great, quality bass, a nice soundstage, without losing too much on the mids and highs. I've been most interested in the Hippo VBs, and my main question is, with the...

I've had the Sony NW-E005 2GB that I've been using since 2006. Still going strong, and it doesn't look like it'll ever die. I'm satisfied with the SQ because I don't know any better, but when I read discussions on best player here, it's not even in the conversation, which tempts me to look at...

Hello, I'm trying to decide on my very first IEM, sub-$100. I was about to order the Nuforce NE-6 / 7M after reading lots of good things about them in this forum, but after reading this review of 5 Jaben phones, the Hippo VB caught my attention: Quote: Hippo VB (Variable Bass) Enter...
