I'm looking to get some new IEMs for portable use... I listen to a lot of genres--mainly rock, rap, dubstep/techno/etc. I already have a mini^3 for an amp so amplification isn't really a problem. Budget is around $80 (flexible), but cheaper is fine too, I just want a good bang for the buck...

Hi there, So as the title says, I am on the search for a new pair of In-Ear Heaphones. Now, my present situation: I started with a pair of Sennheiser CX 300, but after two years the connection to one earpiece broke. The sound was ok, but the bass too dominant and not so detailed. Then I...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone out there would have some insight on how I should spend some money. Either Shure se530 or JVC Victor fx700. My only IEM's I have now are Denon ch751. (which are breaking after a year) Any advise or opinions would be great. From what I can see they are...

Hello to you all; It has been a very very long time since I checked head-fi..and I am kind of glad for that because since I stopped coming here I was able to manage not to spend crazy money on these little things called Headphones :-) I've been using my good old ety's er-4p for the last 6...

Hello all! I'm looking to sell my UM3X for something a little more fun. I love the neutrality for so many genres, but I find I listen to music a little less with them than something with more surprise, sound stage and fun. It turns out I do like a little V in my frequency, but more like a...

*whoops....mods please move this one to the appropriate forum...   A little background...I started my foray into iems with the Shure e4c which I loved, the cable shorted 2 years later and due to financial constraints I replaced them with Klipsch S4 which were ok but seemed to have a lower...

Hi,   I was interested in a pair of JVC HA-FX700 after reading all good reviews about it, but I was hesitant to order one due to the fact I have to pay some kind of handling fees (usually hefty) in order to bring it to U.S.  I was contacting a reputable Japanese distributor (I'm not sure I...

DIY from  thailand  

I want to choose my new IEM among them , because they were IEMs , I think it should be portable , so I don't want to carry any (portable)amplifier with them. I just want to listen to music in an easy way.   I want some advice from those who has expericed those IEMs , and tell me which of...

For those that have had or heard both, any impressions?

Basically I wanna upgrade from my C710s but I don't know what to upgrade to. I was very happy with how they sounded and would like something fairly similar, but obviously better. I'm looking at the JVC-Victor FX700s or Westone 3s, but I'm interested in Shure SE535s as well. The Shures appeal to...

Tagline/Disclaimer: Don't read on or you may risk spending more money on a universal IEM than you ever imagined.   Let me start with saying thanks to takoyaki7 for his great review of the FI-BA-SS. Up to this point I had known about the FADs, but not taken them into serious consideration...

which is better in terms of bass extension/quantity/speed, wider soundstage, better clarity (non sibilant), and yummy mids?   mtmd looks sexy with the blue cable and the victors have a very short cord which i hate   need answers asap cause i will purchase one of these very soon

So far my search for IEMs has been unlucky but I think a mix similar to this would be prefect. Any suggestions that are similar to the deep bass of the Hippo VB but with the nice mids and highs of the RE0?   So far I have had: Head-Direct RE0 Hippo VB Monster Turbine Pro Gold Victor/JVC...

I'm wondering what you guys are using as far as IEM's for the Nationite S:Flo2.   I'm looking at purchasing some IEM's for it but I haven't been able to find any information on what people are using with them, so please feel free to post your setup or past setups that you enjoyed.   I'm...

Hello people.   Yesterday my EP-830's passed to another place for like the 100th time. Now im searching for a (much) better pair of IEM's. Price range max 350 euros.   Already found the Westone 3 and the Triple.fi 10 pro very interesting.   Looking forward for your reply's :)

I have owned the shure SE530,and I'm seeking some else awesome.   And I'm interested about these two IEMs.   Does anybody who owns those two earphones could compare it for me?   Or just suggest the (All-round) better from those two,thanks!!!

Hi! I'm looking for an amp with good quality of sound, moderate or wide soundstage. I have sony NWZ-X1050 and Shure SRH-840, and planning to buy JVC FX700. Have any one chance to compare these two amps? Which should play better with my hardware?

Hi, after months of looking around for new iem's I've narrowed the list down.   I'm no audiophile but the feeling I get from listening to great music is undescribable, and the feeling i get from listening to poo sounding music just pisses the hell out of me.   This is the first time I'm...

Impressions pending...

Okay her goes my first post/thread in headfi. Although i have been exploring, reading and enjoying this brilliant site for more than a year, i just could not make myself join any discussions/comments as i consider myself as a true noob when it comes to describing the sound signatures that I...

I need something ultra portable with an open headphone sound.resorting to IEM's because I'm trying to fit everything in a pelican laptop case.  I've researched a little and found that the best option might be the FX700.  I've read that it can be a little sibilant, which I'm not a fan of.  Is...

Hey friends, I am new to the forum, but not new to speaker and headphone appreciation. I have been enjoying a pair of ultrasone hfi 550's for a few years now, and I still love the hell out of them. To me, they sound great. Anyhow, they are not very mobile, and it is a pain to travel with them. I...

I'm in the market for a new IEM. Unfortunately it will be a 'blind' buy as I know nowhere where I can listen to (high end) IEM's. What would be a good upgrade from my current Panasonic HJE900? I think (but am not sure) that a neutral IEM is not to my liking. From what I read something like a...
