On the advice of this forum I've got a pair of the Panasonic RP-HJE900's which I loved until they recently broke*.  So can someone recommend a sub-$200 in-ear earphones with replaceable cables, good noise isolation and very good sound.  (Or if someone here has one for sale, please PM me.) ...

Hey Head-fi, I'm pretty new to high end quality audio so my questions may seem silly but I hope I can get some feedback from you guys.   My understanding is that most IEMs do not require an amp and have subtle improvements if any when amped. I do not own any headphones so I'm only curious to...

I brought GR07 few days back and i really liked the detail, presentation and sound reproduction of these phones however what i felt (IMHO) is that it lacks bass (quality bass but not enough to enjoy), build finish (durabled however finish is below par for that price) and too much detail to...

Hi Head-fi   Thought that I would give it a try a ask for advice on this website since I know that there are some people her who knows there *** Anyways, I am looking for a comfortable IEM and that is a big factor. Also build quality should be decent, but not my turning point since i am...

Anyway,my question is,since they are a Japan exclusive earphone,who do I contact for a repair or getting a new pair? JVC America told me they can't help me, because of that fact.I tried to fill a form over at their Japan site with google translate but it didn't go through, does anybody know...

Do not like iems that are deep into my Ear canal.  My ears seem to get irritated.  Oh yea they need to sound great too and must be easy to drive sans amp.     Thanks

Hi all: I'm looking for an IEM. I've read a lot of the multi-IEM posts which have been very helpful, but I haven't been able to decide what I want, because my target isn't exactly a super-neutral sound signature. Target Sound Signature. I have a pair of stock Denon AH-D2000 and I think they're...

Introduction:   First off, thanks to Hifiman for choosing me to be part of the review tour. Thanks also to mukulymn for loaning me his RE262 for an extended time.   But, the IEM couldn't have chosen a busier week to arrive. I could not spend as much time as I wanted with the review...

Hi all,     I'm looking for a new pair of custom IEMs with a sound signature that is full, rich, and airy in presentation like full size cans ( as much as possible).       Given the closed nature of IEM's I know this is a tall order, I am also looking to keep this around $600 or so. Should...

Hi guys, I've being a long time reader of this excellent forum but recently just joined and this is my first post. I'm very much a newbie and I feel I'm slowly wanting to start this audiophile journey.    Just wondering if I can have some help on getting a new pair of IEM's. I'm looking to...

I'm currently looking for some good IEM's in about the 250-300$ price-range. I'll be mostly listening to bass-heavy music; that is, dubstep and hip-hop. However, I'll also be listening to some vocal trance and music of somewhat high notes on occasion, though the emphasis is on music with a...

Recently I tried a pair of my friend's open over-ear headphones that were custom modified with wood housing. As soon as I put them on I was absolutely blown away by the sound: ultra clear while being very warm at the same time. It just made for a very relaxing listening experience.   I knew...

Holla everyone.   So right now I have FX-700 and the JH custom (being reshelled). I have only the Arrow amp and as for sources I have Ipod touch, Sflo2, ipod nano etc.   My question is, should I upgrade my sources or should I upgrade my earphones? I have been thinking about getting the...

I have some shure SE115 atm.... They are quite good but I would like some better ones...   I am looking for :   Excellent bass > Deep, good PRAT   Good mids > preferably not too recessed mids   Highs > Non sibilant, Dont mind slightly recessed highs, find harsh / excessive treble...

  I have read many reviews and searched the forum here for info, but I did not find what I was looking for. I'm not too happy with my Beats by Dr. Dre Tour IEMs as I'm on my second pair and they seem to have the same issue: they are simply not made for normal use. I fold the wire, carefuly...

Hi all,   I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions or recommendations on some "fun" high-end IEMs.   (I've been reading about the FX700s and Westone 3s - has anyone heard both of these and can give me a brief comparison on them?)   Any help is appreciated!

Hi.   What do you think about closed Sennheiser's. Which one are the best?   Senn or not Senn? I'm lost :P xD   Thanks.  

This thread is created to avoid derailing already-established threads. It also provides a platform for all who wish to talk about this subject.   I personally believe that BA can crank out a ton of details, but its naturalness and ease at producing music cannot reach that of a dynamic driver.

Hi Head-fiers, I've been lurking around without an account for quite a couple months now and so I thought it's probably time I sign up. These forums are very informative and I've started quite an expensive hobby as a result. I own a couple pairs of BA IEMs, my favourites being the Westone 3s. I...

Hello, I'm really looking for an upgrade from VSONIC GR07. If you've followed my eq curves, you'll know what I'm looking for signature wise, but here's the text: - more extension - lower subbass (<30 Hz), a lot more extreme high end (>=15kHz) - quite a bit more ~10kHz - somewhat less...

Hi there,   I own the Sony XB700 and I am quite pleased with them I have to say. One thing these phones obviously lack is portability. After reading A LOT about the different universal in ear monitors that are currently available, I am still very confused about what to buy as a portable...

Hello all,    This is my first post and I am quite excited. I have recently forayed into the world of quality audio and it has definetly changed my music listening for good. I am ready to make my first substantial purchase in the field of IEM's and need a bit of guidance. My music listening...

Hello members of the Head-fi community!   I've recently bought a pair of the regular Monster Turbines, and I was quite satisfied with them at first. I loved, loved the sound, this coming from a pair of Sennheiser CX 300 II which I found super, super harsh to listen to. I loved the bass...

Hi guys, i know the title sounds weird, but i've been A-Bing westone um2 and shure se 215, and for my fave iem, it woudl be for these 2 to get married and have a kid.   I like that the um2 has good soundstage. For the se 215, i like its warmness, and coherence, the music sounds more like a...

Hello Everyone,   I got my Shure SE535 2 days ago and since then have had trouble removing the pre-installed sleeves, because they fit so tight. By now I am pretty sure I that I have found the right sleeves for me.    Anyway, I listen to lossless music from my 2011 MacBook Pro 17" and...
