at a certain price point, something like 300-400$ which would generally sound better, an IEM or a full sized headphones. i know it depends on the specific set picked but lets just assume each are the best in the range.

Greetings, I've been a member of this forum for quite a while but rarely contribute.  Until recently I've been more of a vinyl guy and spend my time in those forums.  I'm in the military and have a deployment to Afghanistan coming up which has forced me to get into pc audio and headphones.  I...

Hi Guys.. I am thinking of buying new IEM in the range on 150 $  or less. I currently have Sennheiser CX300 II, but want to see better earphones. The music I am looking forward to enjoy on new earphones is Psychedelic trance, Chillout trance and may be some rock bands of 70s.   Can you guys...

I lost my Shure 530 somewhere while traveling, so looking to replace it.   After reading through the forums I have decided that it's either the   AUDIO TECHNICA CKM500- for value and decent sound  OR JVC HA-FX700-Good build and sound but much more expensive.   Since it's ONLY...

I have been thinking of buying new headphones/IEMs for a couple of weeks. I currently have JVC FX700 and I used Earsonics SM3 before these. I like the bass on FX700 and they perform very well with house/trance type stuff but they are bit lacking when I play classic rock/metal on them. SM3 on the...

I heard aren't as bass heavy as others like the monster turbine pro, so are they good for rock/ guitar music? Not heavy metal, I mean like green day, red hot chili peppers, audioslave, etc.

RE0s in terms of comfort and feel in the ear?   I only use two different IEMs, the RE0 and the TripleFi 10s, but would now like to upgrade to something that sounds better than the TripleFi, and more importantly, feels like if not better than the RE0 while in the ear.   I like the...

Around $300 or less. Right now the JVC FX700s are my daily drivers but I guess I'm getting a little tired of the V signature and I'm missing the style of my old Brainwavz M1. I guess I could always just use them but I wouldn't mind trying out higher end IEMs.   Or perhaps something with the...

Everyone agrees in this. I don't understand. Something about air? Why is air so important?  Is that necessary?

I know very little about headphones. Want to spend $300 or under on some in-ears. Comfort, sound quality (obv) are priority. A decent warranty would be nice as well. Comfort: Multiple sizes are a plus Sound Quality: I likah da bass; but good sound overall is important, not just bass. Make...

JVC HA-FX1000 Review   Intro JVC do not really need any explaining on who they are as I have hazarded a guess that you are all aware of whom they are. If you really do not know then they are simply a household electronics manufacturer not to dissimilar to Sony and Phillips. So obviously...

So, I am in Japan, and on the plane ride over I decided I wanted to et some new headphones, but dont know anything about them,   a)tryin to keep it cheap...under 5,000 yen for sure, preferebly under 4,000.   b) I would prefer something that is cheaper here in Japan than America, just so I...

Hi I work in an open office environment, and use my headphones several hours per day. A year ago, I bought a pair of Beyer Dynamics DT770 600 ohm which I used for some time and was really happy about. But I couldn't hear the phone ringing or what my colleagues were talking about even though I...

Is there an IEM that gives great bass (quantity and quality) but doesn't give up anything as a sacrifice?   I listen to rock music and am looking for IEM's with good solid bass, nice mid range and highs, big soundstage. Something that will be giving me a natural sound, and not artificial...

Ok, let me just start off saying that I am not a big fan of beats (I used to 'til I did more research.) A lot of people that I know either own beats or want beats. My brother already bought beats tour and is planning on buying studio beats. I keep telling him that there are way better...

I previously have a pair of Monster Miles Davis Trumpet. Looking for a different type of earphone.   Source: iPod Touch 4gen Budget:$300~$400   I'm looking for a earphone which is more easy to drive and more relaxing to listen to. What I don't like the Miles Davis Trumpet is it stress...

hey, I've been reading the articles on this forum for a while now trying to decide for myself but every time i think I've come to a conclusion i learn of a new headphone and my list of possibles is just getting bigger. I'm new to the world of good headphones, i bought a pair of skullcandy agents...

Hey guys,   I've been looking around the threads on these forums for close to 3 hours now and still can't really make a decision on which in-earphones to get!   I mainly listen to house/electro music but do dabble occasionally into rock,pop, chillout, etc.   So I guess I'm looking...

Be it BA or Dynamics, I have always had a preference for a single driver IEM. My holy grail is ER-4S for neutrality and the FX700 for enjoyment. I've heard the ATH-CK10, ADDIEM, TF10, FXT90 and they all sound weird. The JVC FXT90 uses no crossover but relies on the differences of the drivers to...

I mainly listen to blues, rock, rap and some classical - run on an iPhone 4 and don't mind buying an amp/dac if necessary.    Ive been using atrio m5's and klipsch x10's and are looking for a more rich, full natural sound (I'm a noob so don't really know all the terms).    Is an amp/dac...

I've been using a pair of Ultimate Ears UE600 for the last 6 months or so, and I'd like an upgrade. I like the detail in the UE600, but the soundstage feels a little lacking for me, and I'd like something with a more prominent bass when I listen to rock music. I'm generally looking for something...

I've been using my Ultimate ears TripleFi 10 for quite some time now, and I absolutly love them, but I wished the had more bass. I listen to a lot of electronica music (trance, dubstep, house, and electro) and I feel the IEM don't really satisfy my bass needs.   So, I am considering selling...

Well I just listened to levels on my M50s and eargasmed, but needs moar bass!   Anyways as the title says anyone know IEMs which have a similar ATH house sound with the highs but moar bass compared to the M50s?   Thanksies!

Hi Guys, Unfortunately my iMetal 590 headphones just died and I'm out looking for suggestions on a new brand of earphones. What I'm looking for is a pair of earphones that are stylish, comfortable, and sound amazing. (Cinema Quality.) My budget is anything around or below the $300 mark...
