I loved the Vsonic GR06, sold it in favour of the HiFiMan RE-262 and the JVC FXT90. I like the JVC signature more than the 262's, so those will go soon. But still, it's blurry (especially on the highs), when i compare it to another headphone.. the HE-400 (HiFiMan).   Few days ago, I...

ANYONE FINDING THIS THREAD IN A SEARCH, PLEASE GO HERE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS. There will be plenty of people there to give you great recommendations! Thanks! I am starting this thread to try to mirrior the successful thread in the Full Size Headphone section with nearly the same title as this...

At the moment, I am using Ety HF5s with either an iBasso P4 or an O2 (iPod Classic 160GB as the source) as my portable rig. I listen exclusively to classical (orchestral, chamber and opera) and jazz. Whilst I am happy with the speed and resolution of the HF5s, I sometimes find the sense of scale...

Preface       These two IEMs are among the latest offering from companies that could be considered giants of portable listening. Both companies have been around since before my parents even met, much less thought of having me. Both have proven their staying power, and their engineering...

Hi   I came to Germany for a visit and I'm thinking to buy IEM here. I found a electronics shop (Saturn) which has many brands but not the one I was looking for   I currently have Brainwavz M2 and I am looking for IEMs with similar signature. I decided on Monster MDT but this store...

Hey Guys, So as the title explains I'm looking to purchase a new IEM, I've had to make do with a bunch of ****ty earphones for awhile now and I'm looking to upgrade. I'm not an expert when it comes to IEM's but I do love my music and it's something that's becoming a bigger part of my life now...

Hi guys,   i listen to dance music exclusively, currently using a pair of pioneer HDJ 1000, which is listed in the forum as a basshead phone and a fun/v-shaped one. now i am in search of some IEM that provide a similiar listening experience(like a dj headphone), i own some good budget...

I'm looking for a pair of IEMs where I can listen to any piece of music without that annoying hissing screech that I get from basically every pair of IEMs I get. My budget is less than $200, and preferably something I can find in Canada for a good price, though I am going to the United States...

Hi,   I'm looking for a pair of IEMs that have the Sony sound signature. I currently own a pair of MDR-V6s and absolutely adore the sound they create. It's perfect in every way and I feel like I've been spoiled because I've tried other headphones and just none do it for me.   I also own...

Hi everyone,  Fresh start here at Head-Fi; seems like a great community here.   I've been on a little hunt for some in-ear phones for the past couple of days and have come across quite a few suggestions so I thought I would bring my search to Head-fi to see what you guys have to say...

Hulk crush puny heaadphones, no seriously!   I literally use my iems ALL DAY, or at least most of it. I find oems make my neck hurt after 2 hours.    Headphone history (not including $4!7 ones)  Xears had good sound and ok for comfort but broke really quickly - 2 months.  Sony...

I'm looking for IEM for suit my songs. Now trying to find something for Rock (Bon Jovi, especially the drum and live feel), and some modern pop songs.   Currently owning SE535 red for audiophile recordings. Heard that Sony EX-1000 are good one especially for vocals and classicals. Not sure...

I'll start off by saying this is my first post and I'm new to the higher end earbuds. I've owned less expensive earbuds from companies like Bose and SkullCandy and would like to upgrade. I've read the reviews about the Westone 4 on here but haven't really been able to find anything on Sony's...

Hey guys, after trying multiple IEMs in the < $50 department, I was really impressed with the Philips SHE3580 for the price.  I am trying to find something that is similar, but with better clarity, presentation, sound stage, etc.   My budget is around $100, but somewhat flexible.  I was...

Hi Guys,   lately i discovered that my cable has oxidized(green) although it is black... i saw a hint of green on the tubing for the memory wire... then it got me thinking i have never clean the sockets of the IEM...         after trying to clean it with a thumb tack(I...

Hi eveyone   This is my first post here. I want to buy a new in-ear, i listen only rock music and my budget is 300 € and i'm like in-ear with a flat response and i have a doubt for rock i buy dinamic armature or balanced armature ?, sorry for my bad English.   Thanks, Carlo

Hi, I am planning to buy two IEM's one in 0-50$ range and the other about 100$-150$. I listen mostly to electronic & ambient/downtempo  music like (Moby,Air,Royksopp etc, etc). could anybody please suggest me good & durable (i have a bad history of electronic device abuse and carelessness. in...

Last week, somehow my Klipsch Image S3 disappeared and obviously isn't coming back. I've been going around doing research on high quality IEMs for ~$50 (after LOTS of disappointments from generic brand IEMs) and came up with 3 candidates. The most important factors here are isolation and audio...

Sorry not for sure where to post this. I guess a mod can move it, if it's in the wrong place. Just had to post for others to see.   Also the site is completely legit, I've bought 10+ PC accessories from them with no problems at all.   http://tech.woot.com/plus/jlab-aint-drab

Unfortunately my much-loved Atrios have given up the ghost outside of warranty (one side has given out), and I need to find myself a new commuting IEM. Rather than just buy another pair (which, believe me, I'm tempted to do), it might be an opportunity to go with something else with a bit more...

I've been reading through reviews and some threads but my mind is spinning.     My main priority is the microphone for phone use.  I'm sure I will listen to music with them but is not really a priority or even a concern.   Priority. 1. Microphone/phone 2. Build quality/construction...

Hi, I'm a newbie in the head-fi community, but I did have some experience with good universal IEM's such as the UE Triple Fi 10. Currently, these guys have gone into repairing, and I'm planning to use them for at least one more year. Meanwhile, I'm looking at the new flagship IEM's that are...

I have SE210's which work well and while they do offer good isolation they are big.  I don't carry a bag with me daily so the SE210's in their case are just too big.  I am looking for a smaller iem that offers good isolation and is not as vulnerable.  I want to have a small pouch where I can...

hi. I am very sensitive to ambient noise when trying to fall asleep. Even with a closed door, I can hear my family members walking and talking, which forces me to go to sleep when all other family members are already asleep. Since ear plugs are uncomfortable for me, I thought of using...
