Hello everyone, this is my first time making a thread here and I am starting by taking earbud suggestions. The IEMs i want need to be sound isolating. I have a budget of $70 and am willing to go a little higher if they are really good.   My criteria are as follows, from most important to...

So I mainly listen to hip hop / pop / trance/house. Had the Klipsch S4's because I liked the strong bass and clear mids. Upgraded to the Eterna's which completely blew away my S4s. The bass is stronger and more full and the highs/mids are much more clear. Isolation is great and the soundstage...

I've had my Klipsch S4s for about 2 years now, and I think I'm ready to upgrade. My budget is still pretty strict, but I'd be willing to spend $150 on a new pair, $200 at the upper limit.   I like the S4s, but bass is quite a bit too much, it's like listening underwater at times. That's...

Hello, I am currently using the Klipsch Image S4 that were $80.  I think they have WAY too much bass for the music I listen to, but then again those were my first and only pair of real IEM's.  I listen to rock 90% of the time, and it is either alternative rock, hardcore rock, or metal. I...

Hey there!   Well, I've had a Shure E3c for quite some time. I love them. Unfortunately, the cable is breaking just at the bud, and I don't think it will last long :'(   So, I went to see what I could find in Best Buy - since I have patience issues, and have a hard time ordering online...

I'm undecided on these two. At the moment I own a Klipsch S4 and I want to upgrade my IEM's. I mostly listen to Blues Rock, Folk, Rock etc. At home I listen on my MS Pro's though my ASUS STX and love the sound. Which of the two have a puncher bass knowing they aren't for bass heads? Which is...

Soup. Just registered, been reading for a while though ;D I need some new IEMs. I'll just list the factors that are important to me: - Price <80. Preferably under $50. - SMALL housing. A perfect 10/10 would completely disappear in my ear. - Not black. I'm looking for some white IEMs or even...

Hi im new to this page, but i was wondering if you could help me, i just bought monster turbine pearl earphones for 200 on best buy, I really liked them, i used to have the klipsh s4 but after 2 months they broke.  I think these sound better, but as i have seen in some thread, most of you...

I'm looking to purchase a decent set of IEM's, around the 100 dollar price range, maybe 115 tops. I cant decide what to buy between the SHURE SE215, ULTIMATE EARS 500,V-MODA Vibes, and the klipsch S4. These are the only ones that I have looked at so far, and I cant decide what to buy. I am a big...

Hi,   I wondered if anyone could give me some advice on the Klipsch S4's, I recently bought a pair and I find that they don't sound as well as I expected.   I'll try to explain - basically when listening to rock/pop or similar types of music I've noticed that things like high hats &...

Hey y'all.   I currently own and enjoy a pair of Shure 440s and a pair of Klipsch Image S-4s. I like both in terms of sound signature, etc. The problem for me is that the Shure's become exceedingly uncomfortable after while, sometimes in as little as half an hour. Can anyone recommend a pair...

Hi   My picky sister wants some new earphones since her jay j-jays broke, she liked them but she said the isolation wasnt good. She mainly listens to rock/indie kinda stuff. I've shown her the s4's in white for £43 but she says she doesnt like the colour ¬¬. She doesnt want anything with a...

Hey guys. I am looking for some iems with good bass. I am coming from klipsch s4's, which I have lost and need a replacement for. I figure why not upgrade at the same time. My budget is up to $200 unless there is something so amazing for a little more. I looked through some other threads here...

Hi everyone. I'm looking for im590 and Klipsch S4, I don't know which one is better for me. Usually I use iPhone4 and iPod nano for listening, and most of time I listen POP and Rock 80% of my entire songs are female vocal (especially rock musics) so i need an earphone with great bass and...

I will mostly be listening to rap and hip hop music, with the occasional rock song thrown in. Some bass would be nice only if it doesn't drown out everything else and is not muddy. I used to own a pair of Sony MDR-XB20EX buds but they broke. To me (not an audiophile) the sound quality was pretty...

Hi guys, I'm just getting into the whole audio thing, I've always used skull candies.  I don't want to spend more then $100 because I'm going to get some headphones this summer. I listen to rap so bass would be nice.  You'll probably laugh, but if possible is there anything good at Best Buy for...

Hello, long time lurker, first time poster.   I'm looking for a better replacement for my current flimsy Sleek Audio SA6, but this time I don't want to break the bank. I really like their sound signature (which is quite balanced yet musical), but would prefer something with a bit stronger...

Newbie Here, So please dont rage at me :)   So i have a good offer for a pair of new Shure 535's for around $200. I havent had any time to sample them extensively but do you think it is worth the money? I own a pair of Klipsh S4 for portable use and Sennheiser HD555 Plugged into an Asus...

I have the Zune HD 32GB. I am not satisfied with the sound quality with any of the equalizer settings as well. Currently I am using Klipsch Image S4. They are nice but IMO they are not worth the $80 I spent on them. They are not as clear as I would like , the highs can sometimes "hurt" and...

Hey guys...I was wondering...from the MD Tribs and turbines to S4's and Vmodas...there's no "airy feeling" of sound stage that I can detect. Is it pretty much impossible to create that feeling when the speaker is only a cm from your eardrum?   Is it something that is achieved with creating...

My faithful RE0s have officially retired today, when my left headphone suddenly went silent (after I fixed the case opening a few months back). They served me well for over a year, which is unfortunate for my warranty.     Anyways... I want to grab a new portable pair of headphones for...

I'm looking for a set of headphones or earphones that have good bass, are not too expensive, are vaguely portable and block outside noise very effectively (for anyone who's never had to travel on the London Tube, it is pretty much the loudest travelling environment you will ever come across)...

I'm still learning the lingo, but am getting closer to understanding what I like and don't like about the gear I already have.  In understanding  this, I hope to be able to purchase my next IEMs intelligently.   My musical tastes tend to be a little eclectic and my playlist is "random all". ...

  I've been using the Skullcandy Aysm's (above image) for the past year or two at work (I'm a web developer) and I love them.  I think they have a nice balanced sound and aren't too tinny in the highs or boomy in the lows.  They fit in my ear perfectly with the mid-sized ear piece and I like...

I'm curently using Creative EP 830 and i like the strong bass they have, but obviously they somewhat lack in details. I've spent some time looking for better IEMs with a similar sound signature, and have come up with 3 up to now: Fischer Audio Eterna Klipsch S4 Panasonic RP HJE900  ...
