Hi, i´m thinking about replacing the EarPods that came with my iPhone 5, because they dont fit in the ear properly (my left ear canal seems to be too small^^) Quality wise they are OK as I have better headphones for home use. I do NOT want an isolating IEM!   So the question is, should...

The Vsonic GR06 is perfect for listening Dream Theater and for Classical Music? Or is there better chance for these?   I'M looking for a balanced counded earphone about 80$ for listening Dream Theater,classical music,etc...

Hey Guys  Im no audiophile but ive been experimenting with a few mid-fi iems under 120$ but somehow i couldnt find the right sound signature  Ive searched around here on head-fi but most of the options mentioned here are really expensive for the genre i listen to  I listen to alternative rock...

 I have checked out Jokers thread which was very helpful and detailed, but I was just interested in your individual opnions on these three.   They're all about the same price from what i've found and seem to all get great reviews so i'm kind of torn here. I've tried out the Klipsch S4a's and...

Hi everyone. I just placed an order for the JVC FXD80 because the EPH-100 is way too expensive in Canada, and I don't want anything from VSonic. Anyways, a lot of people over in the FXD80 thread mentioned that reverse complys work really well with these IEM's, but I just don't know which one to...

I've had these Etymotic ER-4's for something like 7 years now. The little plastic shaft on one of the earpieces snapped. It was my fault, not the headphones. I'm not that bummed out about it, because the sound signature never really appealed to me. They always felt super dry, analytical and...i...

Hey everyone, I am lookin at getting a pair of higher quality earphones, specifically the Shure SE215 vs Westone UM1 (also if anyone knows the difference between the UM1 and the normal 1). Basically the big difference is in the driver (Balanced Armature UM1 vs Dynamic SE215) with the 215's...

Hi there. I'm new to this site and forums in general. (Forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place) My purpose for signing up is to ask your opinion on what my next personal audio purchase should be. I'm looking for a nice pair of IEM's. I mainly listen to DnB, House, Classic rock and...

Hi guys,   this is my first post on the forum.  Fantastic info, well done!   I am just looking into getting some IEM's, it will be my first pair.  I decided to step it up from the stock standard iphone buds.  They will mainly be for working out, I lift weights and do plyometric's and...

So I'm in the market for a new pair of earphones, because my warranty is expiring. I currently have a pair of $99.99 Monster Turbines that have served me quite well, but I'm looking for an upgrade. The JVC FXD80 have garnered my attention, but I still have a few questions and was hoping that...

I'm looking for suggestions of what to get myself some new in ear buds for Christmas this year, i am not experienced though. I currently have a pair of A jays 2 (only decent pair of headphones ive owned). They sound good but theres some odd noises and squeaks. I would like a pair with as much...

Long time listener, first time caller. I am currently looking for a set of IEMs in the $80 price range. Have no preference but do currently own a set of monster turbine pro gold which I love - i am looking for a set for my son. Considering monster turbine, shure 215, etymotic hf3/5, head direct...

Hi all, i'm not even talking about classical music, but when listening to alt. rock ("Belle and Sebastian - i'm waking up to us") i can't stand those "strings". What IEMs are there (100-500$), with FUN sig. (with deep bass), sweet on the mids, with big soundstage... that can give me better...

I am currently using a pair of Etymotic Research MC5, I got these not long after it came out so that's about 2 or 3 years ago I can't remember. I wanted to get a new one and I'm looking for the following features: -The MC5, well the biggest complaint I have is probably the build quality. the...

I am currently searching for what will be my 2nd pair of headphones. I currently have the AKG K242 so I am looking for a bassy closed can to compliment it. I want to know it the 940's are bassy, or ever bassier than the Sony mdr 1r as they are the other cans i am looking at.   thanks in advance

Hello there, I'm going to buy a portable AMP+DAC that I'm 99% sure will be a Fiio E17. Looking for something in the 100-120€ price range, and these feature:   - good isolation - no sound coloration, good for audio editing also - least fatiguing possible, confortable for long sessions...

As stated in the title, I'm looking for a pair of iem's for under $100 preferably ~80. I generally listen to progressive house, electro, dubstep and would like some suggestions for iems that have more punchy or tight bass with crisp highs as well. Also, I live in Australia, so prices may be a...

I finally got a job (yay ) but with this job come problems. I have had my Sennheiser HD598, which I love with all my heart, and Sennheiser HD25 II, which is amazing for on the go but is not comfortable for hours on end, for quite some time now. I have been using the HD25 at the office but it...

Just wondering which IEM sounds way beyond it's price. One that you would buy even if it cost alot more? I guess.... one that you would call a sleeper in the low price world. :)

Recently I want to buy a new IEM, just wondering which one will provide good sound quality ( stage, clear,bass,space).     UE 600, shure 215, nu force 700 which one should I choose??    I am using Sony MRD-G45LP now, hope UE 600, shure 215, nu force 700 can provide more sound quality...

My first post on this forum, let me just say that this place has an insane amount of information, it's simpy awesome.   So, I'm in the market for a IEM and I've read almost all reviews here. My main headphone for 8 years has been the Sennheiser HD25 and I absolutely adore everything about it...

So as per the title, my "proper"(ish) IEM's got run over by a bus and I need a replacement pair preferably for under £100 that is available in the UK. In terms of sound, I like my IEM's detailed with a slight mid bump. Sibilence is a nono.   Nothing extravagant, these are to tide me over...

Hey,   My budget for the new IEM is around 60~90 USD. I mainly play FPS/mmo/strategy games, so I should be able to predict movement just like with my old gr06. I listen to dance/hip-hop/trance and electronic music. watch movies and tv shows. Also looking for a good noise isolation.  ...

Hello, I recently purchased a pair of Bowers & Wilkins C5 earphones and so far I haven't really been too satisfied with them; that being said they haven't really been burned in yet. The lows just seem a little muddy and the mids are very poor for this price point, I've also noticed that cymbals...
