Hello everyone, I am new to the board. I am looking for cIEMs that I can use to mix or master my music on the fly. I sometimes do live sound mixing. I use Beyerdynamic DT 880 pro as my working headphone. I did research and have only two choices left for me: UE Reference Monitors 3 BAs driver...

I've been enjoying LCD-2s/HD800s for a while now (Bifrost/asgard/E10) however I'm very tempted to sell them and go with custom IEMs full time, a new portable DAC/AMP and then go with a flagship custom, my only worry is that I'll be losing quite a bit in doing so, I was just wondering what I may...

Been on this journey 10 years now and have enjoyed the anticipation of every purchase.  The waiting, the opening of the product, the first listen, the break-in....I've loved every minute.   But as much as I have enjoyed so many IEM's,    I have been able to poke a fault at everyone of them...

Hello to all mates out there,   Currently i am holding on to my UM3X RC with Twag v2. I'm thinking of upgrading to other iems, Considered Heir4a, 8a, Jh11, 16 PRO, W4R.   Im very attached to the reference sounding of Um3x hoping to upgrade to similar signature our there.   Any advice...

Hi,   Have anyone try to compare the sound of VE stage 2 with VE stage 3 before ? I have been try it both yesterday. Why I feel like stage 2 than stage 3 ? It's more balance than stage 3.   So, I would like to know any idea or any comment from anyone that have been try to compare both...

So I'm tossing up which way to go with a JH13 Pro setup.   AK100 > RSA The Intruder > JH13 (Full balanced) ($2500) AK120 > JH13 ($2400)   What's the better option here? Am I better with a clearer signal going straight from a superior AK120 to the IEM, or is the lesser refined sound of the...

I know there are a number of threads around about this topic, but I have a specific question.   I'm very close to pulling the trigger on my first custom IEM purchase and I've narrowed the selection down to the following options I think:   UM Miracle JH13 JH16 Heir 8.A   I love...

I knew it, I knew it, I knew.................   In various threads I have complained about the aggressiveness of the W4 which to my ears was verging on being edgy and sharp, at times unlistenable. I had contemplated selling the W4 and buying the W4r as I believed the cable was the culprit...

ive owned following universal iems .westone 3, UE triple fi, sennheiser ie80 and shure 535 i still have ie80 and shure 535   custom iems i have in my mind: .es5 .jh13 .UM miracles   i have no chance to demo them, and from what i read miracles get alot of praise   Ok i made...

Hi everyone,   Suppose I have a backpack ready for hi-end audio. Suppose I'm not strong enough to carry things like RWA Isabellina HPA with me. For simplicity, let's limit setup with 4lbs. What components should I choose?   Source: is there anything better than battery-powered Apogee...

Hello folks,   Just wondering, if you were upgrading from a Westone4, what would you go for ? and why ?   I was toying with the idea of the Grado GR10, the Audeo Phonak 232 or the Shure 535, maybe not as an upgrade, but more for a different sound signature.   Thanks for your input !

I'm looking for either a custom IEM or a pair of headphones that has a terrific spacious soundstage with rich vocals, and a relatively lively presentation overall without being overbearing in any one aspect. I don't want a clinical sound, would like slightly sparkling shimmering high with...

HI people! Sorry for my English)   Help me please choose among Westone 2, Westone UM2, UE Triple.FI 10, Shure 315, or something another till 250$ (i will buy on Ebay)   Main requirements for headphones: 1) maximal soundproofing 2) multi-genre (because i listen different music, from...

All,   I'm back from my regular 2-3 year hiatus from this board.  My last incursion brought me the JH16Pros (to replace SE530s which replaced UE10s which replaced every other headphone in/out production in 2004) and Sennheiser MX980s (which replaced broken Yuin PK1s which replaced my...

I have Westone 2's now for less then a  year. I was Jogging & the right side went out . Is it a bad idea to jog with IEMs? Do custom iem's protect better against moisture? Im just wondering if sweat got into the the monitor at all as thats the only thing I can think of that may have caused it to...

Hello, Its been a while since I last visited the forum.   Anyway, I've been luking around the forums seeing what people suggeest for a good IEM for rap/hip hop. I pretty much picked the UE TF10. It seemed to be the best for my needs (bass) without disorting the clarity of the vocals. They...

Hey fellow head-fiers,   I'm looking for a CIEM that has excellent imaging, great extension on both sides of the spectrum, controlled bass, neutral or slightly forward mids, and a nice sparkly treble. Also, an airy presentation and a well rounded 3D soundstage would be ideal.  ...

I have made the decision to take the plunge on a pair of customs now that my sister has just about stolen my pair of Westone 3s, although it's going to take a while to gather the funds for the whole process.  From what I have read, I believe the Heir Audio 8.A fits what I'm looking for the best...

I work in a shared office.  I need full-sized cans that isolate well enough to not annoy my officemates.  My JH13 is too annoying to keep inserting and removing throughout the day.  My brand-new Denon D5000 leaks too much.   I like transparency, high resolution, and full-range reproduction...

I still want to get some Denon D5000s but there isn't a single place around here that sells them in store, so I can't listen to them before dropping $430.  What would you do in this case?  I haven't looked around at the various return policies to see if I'd get hammered with a re-stocking fee or...

Please comment. I own the 535s and want to start to consider my first pair of customs. I am eyeballing the UEs vs JHs. Love the 535 sound, love detailed and present bass. Love detailed highs but not at the expense of lows.

Hi, i recently got a custom IEM, JH13s. I came from a Westone 4 and being new to custom iems, i'm not sure about the fit, seal and isolation my jh13s provide.   I used my westone 4 with olives, so usually i can barely hear ambient noises and people talking around me, even without music...

I m looking for custom. I'm listen heavy metal. I like analytcal sound signature.  I m think about UERM and JH 13  Which is better choice ? or another ciem aroud 900$ ?  thank you
