Hello folks I was just digging around and found this. Not sure if it's true but would be very nice. I'd hope if it is true they would really fix the issues on the current FX700 (too prominent treble and bass, and a recessed mid-range in comparison). Otherwise I really loved the FX700. Well also...

Let me start off by saying I'm looking for a pair of headphones, did my research, and found the Sennheiser IE80s. They seem to defeat the competition IMO and for my requirements. Then, I found the Ultimate Ears UE900, which seems to fit my price range. Here is a little background on me:   -I...

hello   i really like the coloured, warm and sweet sound of my ATH ESW9 , i like also my HD25    my question is really simple : which earphone can give to me the same kind of sound ?   I have tried the RE262 but i am not really satisfied (need an amp ?)   do you think monster...

Dear Head Fi, I have heard that the jvc ha-fx700 are open back iems, so does that mean people around me would hear my music? If so how bad? Thanks

Am considering Grado GR10, B&W C3, Paradigm E3m & Thinksound MS01.   Any others I should consider?   TIA - Rich

This is one of the most useful questions imo. I'll start.   DBA-02: Sub-bass roll off   FXT90: Too much mid-bass    FXD80: Recessed mids   GR07 mkII: Slight treble roll off     Also does anyone have any iems they consider to have no flaws? I've never heard one.

Hi everyone, first post on the forum, so completely novice on all things head-fi related..  I currently have Shure's SE315's and Monster Turbine Pro Copper's. The 315's I've had for roughly 2 years have great build quality, seem really durable so far and I like the detachable cable option...

I'm still newbie in this audiophile things, so forgive me if I'm a noob   There are 5 choices of iem that I'm considering to buy, they are: - UE TF10 recabled (which cable is still undecided) - SE530 recabled (which cable is still undecided) - SE535 stock cable - IE80 stock cable -...

So after some deliberation and thought, I have decided to invest in a pair of ACS custom sleeves for my Sennheisers. At the moment I have a pair of IE6 which I am really happy with....however I am Unser whether to keep these or spend some extra money on the IE8's? The Custom ear pieces for the...

Following my post yesterday regarding IE6 and IE8/80 IEM's, I would like to try and gain some advise with regards to other options available. These are for use with an iPhone and iPad....mainly whilst travelling, on holiday and at the gym. Musical tastes are varied everything from Bob Dylan...

Well I am looking to upgrade from a pair of Denons ah c751. They were my first and only foray into earphones and I loved them. Now that they are no longer made I feel like I am ready to start moving up in the audiophile world. I am mainly a basshead, but I listen to everything mostly eighties...

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 tried these recently and they are almost in size near to small onear headphones but they sound realy good due to large dynamic drivers with rich deep punchy bass(good news for bass heads) and amazingly crsip clear mids, highs with wide soundstage and good imaging. BTW i did side by side...

Hi everyone.   I'm looking for an upgrade from my Westone 3. Will be using this with S9 or my iPod classic 120 6g but I dont know which amp...   Open to other suggestions.   Thanks, Leon

Isn't the isolation coming from the foam and the fact that it's inside the ears?   What makes others more expensive than others, except the durability

.

I just discovered a broken stem on my e500. What's even worse, I called Shure and was offered a 535 "replacement" for $250. Ouch.   So I am in need of some sort of replacement and I am loathe to give Shure any more money. Plus, I'm not convinced I need to spend as much this time around. I've...

Alright, let me start off with that the best iem's I have used are the bose ie2's. From reading other forums, those are pretty bad compared to other iem's, so i'm excited to get something. :D   Music I like is hip hop, Dubstep, rap. Stuff with lots of bass. I want something with lots of bass...

Hey im looking for some in ear headphones for under 300$. Now that doesn't mean it has to be the best 300$. For example is their some headphones for 100$ that are pretty close to 250$ Ill take the 100$ all day.   Now ill be running with them some so Ill need them to be able to stay in my ear...

So I just walked in to Best Buy 2 days ago and fell in love with them!   Well they already broke. I took really good care, but the earbud part split apart!   Now I've read about people trying to glue it and stuff and I don't even want to have to deal with that, you shouldn't have to glue...

Looking for a pair of IEMs that are absolutely perfect for electronic music and maybe the occasional rock track. Some examples would be: Infected Mushroom, Shpongle, Purity Ring, Pink Floyd, and A Perfect Circle.

I have not heard a quality full sized HF, only mid and top tier IEMs such as EX1000, FX700, UM3X and SM3.   For those that have both, which do you prefer and why?   What does a full sized phone offer that an IEM can not?   Thank You

I am thinking of selling my Shure SE215 and HD650's and getting one really good pair of IEM's....   So this would give me a max budget of £250 which I assume should get me a very nice pair of IEM's....   I have been reading about it and it seems that BA drivers will never have as much...

I already have the Shure SE535LTD and they sound amazing for acoustic music but they flop when it comes to busy passages and sound terrible for some genres. So now I'm looking for something "different" that would compliment my shures. Does anyone have any recommendations?   Already got these...

I've been enjoying SM3, UM3X, EX1000 and FX700 and am considering venturing into full size phones for $400 usd.   Can an Ipod Touch and a portable (which ones) amp work well?
