Guys, I want to know the most natural sounding pair of headphones you've heard. It kind of means, the most accurate reproduction but not exactly. I mean when the drummer hits the snare and you hear it and it fades out in the right amount of time and you think to yourself "man that's what a snare...

apart from upper tier headphones / customs, I dont see any use in owning anything else

Hi, Since both are made pretty close to where I live I was wondering if anyone has heard both demos of these? At this time my preference is on the es5 because of its standard soft housing and the fact that it is made in the country where I live. Thankd in advance for any information, Greetings...

Can someone please feel me in on the differences and pros and cons of each mentiones IEM. I am on the fence between the two and I have been through this struggle with universal fits. I am ready for some customs!!! I have a RSA Shadow amp to power the customs I decide on. After trying all the big...

I just bought a pair of jh13's and of course my original alo rx craps out before they come in.  I was wondering if anyone has the mk2 and the jh13's and how they work together.  I'm stuck between replacing it with another alo rx, the alo rx mk2, pico slim or protector balanced.     If I...

Hey guys   I currently have a pair of TripleFi 10s that I need for drumming and listening to rock and alternative.   I want to take the next step and get a pair of customs but just need a hand choosing the right one for a good price (either new custom and sell my TF10 or reshell).  Since...

I'm looking for headphones to listen for music (mainly Trance) on my Asus Xonar STX. I am looking for a headphone that have alot of boosted low-end quality bass (like if am sitting between some very expensive subwoofers). I do NOT like thick mid-bass and upper-bass. It gives me headache...

JH|10X3PRO appreciations unite! Discussions begin! Here are mine pair of 10X3 to begin with

Writing reviews is something I really enjoy. I've been doing that in Brazilian forums for a while, but as there are so many amazing reviews here on head-fi, I never really thought about posting one. But then I reckoned it would be good to try and write one to see what you guys think, especially...

Incredibly good!  My ears have gotten very spoiled.   Take the neutrality of a UM3X, give it a whopping 30% more butter smooth treble with zero siblance.  Make the midrange slightly less forward (more neutral). Clean up the bass where it is not so sloppy....making it much tighter with much...

Finally time for some upgrading! Been stuck with my current rig way too long.   So, any tips for an SS amp in the $1000 range? My only demand really is that it has a preamp (preferably one that isn't crap) and that it'll work well with my D5000's (or hopefully D7000's soon).   Thanks.

I want to replace my MTPC"s with either the new Westone 4s for go the custom route with the JH 5pros . I listen to mainly rock of all sorts and some vocals . I really like my monsters but I can't keep a good seal , I get a good seal but they always seem to work themselves loose , it really...

JH Audio JH16 Pro First Impressions This is a photo of the actual JH16 Pro I'm using. (Photo courtesy of JH Audio) I received a production sample of the JH Audio JH16 Pro last week. And, yeah, I was excited. When something's this new (especially at the level of performance of this...

Impressions pending...

I am thinking I may invest in some good custom IEMs soon. However, I have done very little research and I don't know what is the best bang for your buck. I am looking to probably spend no more than $1000 with ear impressions included. I guess, I just want to buy a set of customs and be done with...

Hey all!   So I have decided to finally move onto custom IEMs. I've narrowed my decision between the Westone ES5 and the JH16 PRO (or JH13 PRO, but I am leaning towards the JH16), but I am having a hard time deciding. I would appreciate some opinions from owners, readers, and head-fier's who...

  INTRO Several months ago, I had the honor of reviewing the Unique Melody Aero custom IEM. I really enjoyed that model, which I found to have a somewhat unique sound signature and excellent build quality, all at a very reasonable price. Here is a link to that review...

How would you compare the bass of the JH-16's to, say, the TF10 and XB500? Yes, I know they are two completely different headphones, but I have both and am very, very interested in these customs and need to know about their bass response. Thanks!

Is there a comparison of sound isolation and sound stage and sq of these two? Thanks.

Thinking about selling my shure SE535 and replace it with one of these custom molded IEM. - I wonder if it is a wise decision or am I on the way to fall  for marketing and advertising gimmicks?? - Does the number of the driver really matter? - Does anyone really notice any difference? -...

Thinking about getting a new pair of IEMs. I am looking for a few inputs to set me in the right direction. I also need to get a LOD that works with the iPhone 4, the one I currently have causes reception issues and static in the earpieces. Thanks for all the help. Rob

Hello Head-Fi,   I'm currently on the hunt for my very first custom IEM, and I'm very curious about the ES5s. There is a retailer here in Sweden, where I'll audition the earphones in question next week, but they charge outlandish prices. The ES5 is $1800, custom art another $250 - in other...

I don't know why, but in the last two years, getting the top headphones in the world has become my new obsession.  It all started five years ago when I thought the sony ex71lp were the best I could get.  Then, they came out with ones that had a clip, and finally they ones where the earbud was...

whats up music lovers. just curious about peoples daily routine, headphone wise.  what phones do you take out with you, and which do you think about coming home to?   on the go i roll with sr225s. I used to be wary about bringing them outside, but now i cant help it.   then i come home...

Can anyone point me to a review of the Pico Slim? I've serched. I know it is not out yet, but I figure someone has heard it, maybe with JH13s? Anyone? Or are all of you in line to order it "sound unheard"? If so, what makes you confident that it will be a good amp? Just a friendly question.
