Hi guys, I've been wanting to get a new IEM since my last one (audio tech ATH-CKS77) broke last week. I am presented with these choices: SONY XBA-3, SHURE SE425,ATH-CK10, FA DBA-02 MKII given that my budget is 440SGD (360USD). I listen to mainly pop, alternative rock and a little of everything...

hi    im considering buying and reshelling a ue900. is it a good idea? .price wise is it cheaper than buy a 4 driver custom? at least by reshelling i know what it sounds like befire committing

I already have the Shure SE215, and I really like the punchy bass on those. However, I want to upgrade, I recently bought the Grado GR10, love it for instrumental, but it lacks to much bass.. I really love the punchy bass and an overall good sound balance. which one do you recommend me??

hi, i recently put my ultimate ears tf 10s through the wash so i need some more headphones.   i had these before logitech bought the company. i loved the sound signature with prominent top end   should i get the same phones again (considering they are under logitech now) or go for...

Hey Head fi, I'm choosing between these two iems but I am unsure which one would be better. I listen to rock, electric and dubstep. I have a iphone 4s paired with a fiio e7 amp/dac.    Thanks 

Ive narrowed it down to the shue se535 and the UE tripe fi 10. Which in ear monitor is the best? Any other recommendations will be appreciated

Hello,   Several years ago I bought a pair of Shure SE420's. While I'm pretty ok with them (lacking some bass imo) I'm considering replacing them with some higher end IEM's. The Westone 4's currently have most of my attention.   But I wonder: is the difference in sound clearly...

I currently own the TF10 and got them around 170$. I think they are the best IEM in the world simply because of the price efficiency. However, the UE900 looks really nice because of the appearance and fit. (Soundwise, I heard they`re not to the extent where they just murder the TF10s) Problem is...

Hi, I'm a newbie in the head-fi community, but I did have some experience with good universal IEM's such as the UE Triple Fi 10. Currently, these guys have gone into repairing, and I'm planning to use them for at least one more year. Meanwhile, I'm looking at the new flagship IEM's that are...

Over my audio journey, I've tried many different earphones in an attempt to find the perfect sound signature for me.   However, I've come to a sudden realisation: I just want fun! I want an earphone that'll allow me to tap my feet and feel good. I don't listen to music that requires ultra...

Im seriously considering pairing the CK4 with the UE900. i was wondering if anyone has heard anything on these. I would really like to hear from someone who has owned the ck4 and someone who has heard the ue's900as they are not being sold as of yet. i have the ue10's which are awesome. Thanks Andy

Yes, I do realize that mixing is done best with true studio monitors or reference headphones, but I'm just wondering what the best IEM for mixing would be. Please note that although they need to be good for mixing and need to be very well balanced (with no frequencies recessed), I'd want them to...

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...

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

The proliferation of all things headphone related over the last several years absolutely blows my mind.  It seems there are new players getting into the game each and every month, making it confusing even for folks who've been 'round these neck of the woods for more than a minute about potential...

Hey all First post, sorry if not abiding by all the rules. I am looking into my first pair of high quality IEM's.  I have pretty much narrowed it down to these two, through reading forum posts, etc.  I listen to pretty much all types of music, from classical to dubstep/electronic. I would...

I had my Triple-Fi 10s (bought half price at around £125) replaced under warranty for the UE900.   The UE900 has an issue with the blue VI cable, the sound cuts out just by fiddling with the jack. The black cable is fine.   Logitech sent me another blue VI cable, same issue.   Logitech...

Hi guys, I wondered if you can help me... I want to be an audiophile, but I need help choosing headphones. These are my choices: HiFiMan HE-400 Shure SE215 (IEM) And I still have $300 for a more portable headphone, probably On-Ear. Grado 325i Grado 225i Koss PortaPro Sennheiser HD25 ATH-M50...

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...

Many people say that the cables on their IEMs die like flies, so they want or use IEMs with replaceable cables.  My experience is the opposite: I've never had a pair of headphones fail at the cables, IEM or otherwise, except by extreme abuse not induced by me (e.g. pulling the jack off tight...

Hey! I was wondering, I was considering to get a new pair of in-ears, and I have a pretty specific music curve. I like my bass a little extended, a standard midrange, and a strong but not overpowering treble (Like a U-shaped curve, but more on the treble than the bass, but not by too much. I...

Hi guys,   I'm kind of new to the In Ear Monitors. I'm looking for a budget quality pair of earphones and I think I've narrowed it down to these two (Etymotic Research HF5 or Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10). Was wondering which one I should get. I know the Ultimate Ears are a little more in cost...

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 !

Has anyone tried the UE 900 yet? There a remake of the TF10's. Anyone? I would love to see some impressions on them.  http://ue.logitech.com/en-roeu/earphones
