saw these phones on a professional ultra distance runner....so I guess they might be quite good for running. Thanks.  

IEM Review: Aircom A3 + A5                                                                                              A3                                                                                     A5     Perhaps a month ago, I read about this company on another thread as member...

I am looking for a IEMs that hlave a flush to the ear fit and minimal protrusion outside of the ear. Part of their duty will be for listening under a motorcycle helmet and they shouldn't be able to get pulled off when the helmet goes on. For other quieter times, I am also looking for something...

I'm just wondering if earwax will ever cause your earphones to sound muffled. If so, how long before they will become muffled and what are some good ways of preventing it. Btw, I clean my ears frequently. I have used comply tips with a built in wax guard, but I prefer my silicone tips.

Anybody know about these??   http://www.bachmaier.de/en/products/guide-in-ear-monitoring.html

To all my fellow Head-Fiers, I know that many of us take our personal audio game pretty seriously (including myself) for the most part. I will say I have made some friends and read and saw some pretty hilarious stuff on here, especially from the famous Wokei.   So I thought to myself...  ...

An universal with identical internal components to a custom should provide near identical sound if both have a perfect fit.    So I don't believe a duo driver custom will sound better than a trip/quad driver universal when both have a good seal.    And customs can't be shared with others and...

At this point, it shouldn't come at a surprise that yet another CIEM lab (so many choices, so little money; I know, right?) has sprouted up in the midst of massive growth for the custom IEM market. The existing guard of CIEM companies has long been intricately tied to the hearing aid/protection...

  I've recently had a few sets of impressions made and tried different sets of IEMs made from them. Here are my tips for those looking into custom IEMs. I spent a lot of time talking to my audiologist, doing research and have experienced the differences that different jaw positions can have on...

I want flat response monitors more for personal High Fidelity listening. Vinyl rips and 24/96 recording. Think I will go for Ultimate Ears or Etymotic Monitors. I assume the custom inserts should feel the same and comfortable as far as them being created by an audiologist. Looking for feed...

Just like the title implies, I want to know what the best bassy iem for $150 is.

I want to first say that I've demoed/owned a lot of IEMs. I never seem to keep them longer then a month due to either losing them, them breaking or me just giving them away. This is why I don't list any IEMs in my profile. With that said I can't see the appeal of IEMs, well expensive IEMs. I've...

Wondering what if anything do yall use for cable management for ur iems?  I have seen those wraps, cases and such.  Just rather have the opinion of HiFi'ers

I am looking for a cheap pair for use in the gym. Price range <$100.

A Nocturnal IEM and cable tour has begun with shotgunshane as first member after myself to receive them.  Here's a list of members on the list to receive these so far: Shotgunshane Hiflight  Idiosynchro_24, Winter. After the 1st couple reviews, more US members can be added.   The...

why is that when i press my iem with my fingers a little they sound very nice, but when i just leave them in my ears without pressing them a little they sound sloppy? do i need another earbuds or something? and which ones? may be i could make some kind of device to make them stay in ears? is it...

My hair goes over my ears, and given my experience with a universal IEM that wrapped over my ears...it was pretty annoying

I recently bought the Ksc75's as my first step into the headphone world, and I liked their sound. They seem generally balanced (to me at least,) throughout their range, except for some minor stuff with the upper treble. However, I need something portable with more isolation, such as I could use...

Hi, I am new to this forum and to the audiophile world. I am planning to buy an IEM for my daily use, so I was browsing through the IEM reviews. I came across some terms like recessed mids, larger soundstage, darker, brighter etc. How are these measured? In may case, when I listen to a new...

I am getting custom made hearing protection since my insurance allows me to have them once for free :-) The company making the protection is called tympro music and since my IEMs are starting to give, I thought it might be worthwhile to check if I could use the same mould for  custom IEMs...

I wish to fully understand ljokerl excellent and comprehensive Multi-IEM Review..., so can you help me with the following (first two terms were used in a acclaimed general consumer review magazine): 1) What is ljokerl/audiophile terminology for "tinny"? 2) What is ljokerl/audiophile...

What would you guys recommend for IEMs that can be worn comfortably straight-down, that comes with flat cables (for reducing tangle) and priced between $50-$150? Thanks!

Generally speaking for ear/head phones in the $50-$100 price range. Which type of headphone has better bass?

I recently got the Klipsch Image X10 and was wondering if anyone had suggestions about carrying it around.  From what I understand, these aren't the most durable IEM's and I really dont want them to break.  Do you guys just wrap your IEM around your phone/ipod and stuff in your pocket?  or do...
