Big difference in price...worth the extra money for the Ortofons when considering sound, comfort, dependability and cable strength?   Thanks!

So I was going to add this to the ATH-CKM500 thread, but that really quickly degraded into an sub $200 IEM pissing match.    I am looking for a good pair of IEM's for use with my 6th Gen iPod Nano and my 5th gen Rockboxed iPod. My Criteria are as follows;   Must be able to work out with...

Yep, the usual happened, after four years of (well cared for) use the jack on my Sony in ears has died, so it is time to find myself a new set for around the <£40 mark (bought in the UK).   To give a bit more information, the set I have been using recently were actually the supplied set of...

Some background: So after a few weeks of researching IEM's under $100, I got a great deal on the Shure SE215's. They fit me well, and the noise cancellation is amazing, however, I am not impressed with the sound so far. Their bass is impressive (as many of the reviews have stated here) but that...

Hi I am looking for an IEM with good dynamic range, and decent bass, treble and soundstage in that order of priority. My budget is limited to 90 USD for now. I'm guessing BA IEMs can offer a good dynamic range as they're quick, but then bass impact/quantity becomes a concern with most...

Just found this forum - what a great resource. Done a fair amount of reading. The Concise Multi-IEM thread is fantastic. Using that and some other discussions as a reference I've got a few choices. Hoping to make the best first IEM choice based on my preferences.    I used to be an...

Hey, I need some help picking out IEMs for <$150.  Durability and sound quality are important and I prefer rather neutral sounding headphones.  I enjoy the sound signatures of HD 598s and HD 650s.  

Hi, the title says it all, I need your expert opinions. My price range is between $250-$400.   I usually listen to Classical, Alternative Rock, Dubstep, and some Rap. I'd like a good amount bass impact but it doesn't need to be the main focus.  I'll also probably be working out in these...

So after some deliberation and thought, I have decided to invest in a pair of ACS custom sleeves for my Sennheisers. At the moment I have a pair of IE6 which I am really happy with....however I am Unser whether to keep these or spend some extra money on the IE8's? The Custom ear pieces for the...

Hey guys and girls,   Long time lurker, Electrical Engineering student and musician.  So naturally I am interested in the inner workings of headphones.   I have a long history with full size headphones but would like to try some IEMs since I have am in need of something more portable...

I'm looking to buy a new pair of IEMs or earbuds because my Brainwavz Beta is dying out ( left ear is slowly not working :( ). I see that the Ety HF3 are on sale for $65 http://www.cowboom.com/product/1145350, but I don't know too much about their sound. I haven't had much experience with IEMs...

Intro   Frank from Toxic Cables has been kind enough to let me audition his 8-wire hybrid IEM cable. My ears were pleased, however, my wallet was not as I ended up liking the cable so much that I had to buy it. Much like the one released by Whiplash this cable is also a hybrid cable...

I bought a pair of Sunrise Xciteds a few months ago, and when I have them plugged into my computer via a 3.5mm extension, I am hearing popping, and it feels like static between my IEMs and my ears. I'm thinking that the problem might be buildup of static in the extension cable, which is then...

Hi guys, another recommendation thread to follow the plethora of existing ones.. Basically, I recently had my jacket stolen whilst at a pub (shouldn't leave things sitting aside, my own fault). In the pocket of said jacket were my Ultimate Ears (UE 700s), something I'm not as irritated about...

Just got the unboxing up on YouTube. I love how these look. Initial impressions are very good. If you like how Beats Solo HD sound you will like these. These sound cleaner than the old Beats Solo HD. More like the new Solo HD sound. **** Update ***** NEW revised N-Tune 2013...

I want the cheapest best-bang-for-the-buck in ear monitor (mostly to listen to text but some music too - for music I have regular headphones). It must be very sturdy - I don't want the cables to break down. It is the usual end of in-ear phones.   What's the best solution for me?   I also...

Hey guys, first of all: thanks for reading and this forum is awesome. Learned a lot about different types/companies by just browsing along for an hour or two. Well, back to topic.   Last week my Klipsch S4i broke (after 1 1/2 years :<). First the right one stopped working and some days...

Main requirements: very good sound isolation, and really comfortable They are for pop, rock, alternative, and rarely classical.  The source will probably just be a laptop or something.  As for the way they sound, not too bass heavy, and they're not really for an audiophile anyways.  Any ideas?

I've been using the bose ie2 headphones for a little over a year. I heard that they aren't anything to write home about and I'm desiring a little more from my listening experience. I listen to rock, metal, country, classic rock and things of that sort. My price limit is about 200-250 dollars...
