After spending countless hours researching and a failed experiment with the Fiio E10K, I need some help . . . I'm looking for a desktop amp (or Amp/DAC) that can specifically handle IEM's, in particular the Klipsch S4 and Sony MDR-7550. I tried the Fiio E10K and it sounded muddy and didn't...

I am from Canada looking for the best bang for buck IEMs.   I was looking at the Shure SE215 and the Klipsch X10 (I want to get a new pair to go with my new headphones, the DT 990s and upgrade my old Klipsch S4)   I can get the SE215 easily for $99.99 CAD I will be going to the US to pick...

I'm so crazy about Classical music that I want to do it professionally and so naturally I want some really excellent headphones. I'm looking for headphones under $90 that are clear and crisp treble, effective strongs mids, colorful, and punchy tight (not boomy) bass. I listen to all types...

I've had Klipsch S4 and I really liked them. The bass was good, not too harsh and good sound isolation. However I want to move to something better, a little step up, since I lost them somewhere I might aswell try something better :) I like warm sound, nothing too harsh, and I'm a bass head. My...

Hello everyone,   I am new to Head-Fi but it seems everyone here knows a lot about music, headphones, and sound quality, so I thought this would be the perfect place to ask my question.    There are some $100 in ear headphones I have been looking in to at my local stores, all of them are...

Hi guys, first time poster, long-time lurker here.   I'm basically after some advice from the experts of Head-Fi on what to do next really, my 21st is coming up and I'm looking for some audio gear! I'll admit I'm a bit of a noob in terms of audiophilia and hi-fi, but I'm an undergrad...

I want to buy a new pair of iems, im looking at the list of reviews, and i'm currently only interested in ones that are at an 8 or above sound quality wise, and close to a 5 in the other categories.   i was wondering if the re262's would be a good choice   i listen to basically every...

So my monster turbines broke today after a year so i decided to try out something new in the $100 or less range. I loved my turbines, althought they dont really classify as a balanced sound but it was very BASS HEAVY thus making me love em. I wana try out something new or similar to my...

I want to buy headphones to replace my Yamaha EPH30 which spoiled the jack. With interest mainly for movies from iPad and other tablet nook and some times music . I want to have enough and good bass. I think: affordable Sony MDR EX71xl, JBL, sennheiser cx300 ii, Refence 220, Vsonic GR02-GR99...

I want to buy a new phone, and since music is obviously very important to me, I want to know your opinion on which phone is the best for music-listening. I am considering the Samsung S4 and Note 3, the Sony Xperia Z1 and the HTC One. I am currently listening to rap and EDM music with my Klipsch...

Hi All,   I am looking to get a pair of in-ears, and am thinking of either of the above...any recommendations/reasons to avoid either? Reviewers seem to think the S2 is the most comfortable thing ever, but of course, the S4 is a couple of steps up and is said to have better sound.  ...

I have a pair of Klipsch S4's and I did do a search and saw a thread that claimed the tips that came with the Klipsch were the best, but none of them seem to fit my ears well. With the medium size I can get a good seal for about 5-10 minutes then I have to re-adjust. I use the sensaphonic seal...

Hi guys,   I've been reading up on various Head-Fi reviews and impressions for a while now, but I just can't decide what to drop my money on.   I'm using a set of Klipsch S4's right now. They fit well and they're overall so-so, but I want something with better clarity. I prefer something...

Hi there,   I recently got some Ultrasone pro900's and I'm really liking them, now i think it's time to upgrade my portable rig. I do like the s4's straight out of my ipod classic but I'd like to get something a bit better.   I've been looking at a few iem's but can't decide which...

Well I find that lugging around my HD280 doesn't work out so I decided on finally getting in-ears.   I chose out two: CX200 and the Klipsch Image S4. I've heard many good thing about the S4, however, for CX200, I only chose it out because I can get them for $15. So which one should I go for...

I was talking with my friend about IEMs with my S4s in my hand when I came up with this idea.   The Klipsch silicon tips are oval shaped. Also, the body of the S4 is oval shaped. However, the ovals don't overlap with each other when you put the tips on the right/original way--they are 90...

Just looking into buying a pair of buds that I can use when I walk around, workout, video chat, etc.  Sort of an all-purpose set that has decent durability.  Preferably under $100 but if justified can go up to $150, maybe higher.  I'm by no means an audophile, but I do care for clear sounding...

Hi guys   I need help on finding a pair of 'perfect' earphones suited for my needs. I first started the hunt for a pair of IEM's on my thread (http://www.head-fi.org/t/585965/newbie-advice-on-new-iems-upgrade-from-s4s) but I thought I'd start a new one as I've changed the earphones in...

  I have been using Klipsch s4's with Comply foam tips for the past year at the gym (have Sennheiser HD 25-1 II's for other use THANKS Head Fi) and I apparently lost them last Saturday. So I looking to replace. I really liked the s4's and might just buy a new pair. Would like some other...

Hi guys.   I am by no means an audiophile like the majority of you on here, but I do appreciate decent music that sounds good.   I've only dabbled with cheap earphones in the past. Mainly £10 skullcandy's. The last pair was a set of £21 sony things that weren't anything spectacular and...

I am using a Onkyo TX SR-707. My Sennheiser HD598's and my Klipsh S4 sound incredable through my Home reciever. So much better then my Ipod with a small E6 amp. Basicly I am wondering what kind of upgrade of sound will I get if I decide to go out and get a deticated Headphone amp. How much money...

Hey dudes me again, this time I need help with a pair of in ears. My faithful V moda Vibes broke on me after 2 long years. Unfortunately I don't have the reciept or I would have used the 50% coupon on a pair of vibrato's w/o blinking an eye. For now i'm using my Bass Freq's (never noticed but I...

Hey all!   I have recently decided to sell my Beats Studios, because 1) they are huge, and not very good for walking around with and 2) batteries are expensive, and 3) they are (apparently) not very good. So my ears are probably not yet attunated to the finer details of sound, considering...

Hi there,   So I recently got a nicely sized chunk of change (about $70) to spend on Amazon. I've been meaning to step up from my stock Apple earphones for quite some time now. Pretty much all of my music files are 320 kbps, so I know a higher end set of earphones would be worth it. The only...

Sorry folks, this may be a bit of a long post as I am hoping to make the most well informed purchase I can make after my last pair of headphones crapped out and hoping for these to last.   So I went from the Klipsch S4 -> Beats Studio (grad. gift)   And after two years, the left side of...
