While sony ex500lps are widely popular in Asia with their higher end siblings, it seems they are under the radar in US. And the monster turbines are just in opposite. how are they compared to each other? 

I saw the Monster Turbines on sale for $60 and grabbed them.    Unfortunately the pair that came in the mail was defective, so i paid 15 bucks to send them back to monster for a replacement pair. A month later i got another defective pair.   By then i realized that i could do the same...

My Phonak PFEs are falling apart - both wires have already cracked near the drivers, and they're hanging on with some electrical tape I've wrapped them with. I'm sure they'll end up snapping before long, so I need to get a replacement.   I've been quite happy with the PFEs (outside of the...

Sorry, just need the mm of the nozzle at the thickest section and I don't have anything properly graduated at hand to measure my pair. Thanks in advance!

i currently own the ath m50s but they are not portable enough for me travel with and I need something easier to carry. my budget is around 100 or alittle more than that I search through the forums but there seems to be alot of diff opinions. I listen to alot of hip hop / pop/ rap/ some...

Been on a bit of an IEM tear lately after a LONG hiatus. Decided this eve to dig out all the 'phones I have and check 'em out as well as get familiar with the MD Tributes and decide if I want to keep 'em or not. In the case of the J2 and the Tributes, they're not broken in (yet). The others have...

Well i received my brand new monster turbines from amazon yesterday. Was pretty disappointed about the bass, or lack there of. I'm reading reviews and stuff, and they all say that it has good bass. Don't know if i should RMA. I am using properly fitted eartips btw. I tried every single type to...

I am expecting some Monster Turbines in the mail next week and i read that their cables are subpar and the 3.5mm straight plug has no stress relief. I was wondering if i could reinforce the plug or add stress relief or recable the whole thing.   Thanks. I'm trying keep my expectations low as...

I don't know if they are any good, but for those who want them, here they are!        ...

Hey guys,   I know everyone hates "what would you buy" threads, but I hoped this one would be sufficiently different to warrant asking...   My office is having a raffle to raise money for charity. Basically, people in the office will donate goods and services which will get bundled into...

Super fi or turbines for $100? On a budget. Currently have zune v2 headphones. Also what about the re0's?

Currently I use VicFirth Isolation Headphones for my ipod or monitor mix whenever I play. Unfortunately they change the sound a good bit and they restrict volume quite a bit to prevent you from destroying your ears. Also, I would much prefer something that isn't so bulky.   So I've been...

First I had trouble with shallow fit using stock silicones. Shure olives and trimmed tri-flanges solved that, isolation and fit are good with both of these. Trouble is that I can’t bring myself to like the sound! And that even compared to lowly Shure E3 I used on temp basis after second pair of...

I know a lot of people on here like the Monster Turbines and they really like the RE0's.  I myself really like high quality mids/highs and can do without bass.  I had the ad700's and thought they were spectacular for their price.  But when I switched my 15 dollar Skullcandy Earbuds with my...

Ok, I’m switching gears a bit compared to my other thread. I realized that to approximate sound signature (darkish, fun, laid back, spacious, reasonably detailed) of my dead UE 5Pro’s I’ll have to spend $200+ which I don’t want to.   Now after my 2nd pair of 5Pro’s are gone I’m listening to...

hey head-fi guru's    Seeming the aussie dollar is strong at the current time I want to upgrade my canalphones for my iphone 4 to replace these $5 earbuds that apple gave me.    Right Now I'm thinking of V-Moda Remix , Sennheiser MM70i or Shure-SE115M   Budget's around $150USD and I...

Picked up a pair of Monster Turbines a couple of months ago.  I had read so many glowing reviews of them that I assumed they would be a great replacement for my old Shure e3c's.    The Turbines were a huge letdown.  Very heavy on the mids.  Papery lower treble.  Anemic bass.  I kept...

I really like using in-ear headphones and I've been using them for 3+ years now.  I like how they have a bit of noise isolation specially when I'm listening in the car or when I'm at the gym.   I've been using SkullCandy earphones and I'm planning on upgrading to a more "upscale" earphones...

Hi All, Can you please compare these two phones? I like bass but clarity as well and to give you an idea I went from Atrio M5 to Victor FX 500 and then MOnster Turbines. Do these really beat the Turbines in bass and clarity? It seems so after reading the reviews. Thanks in advance

I am aware of all the fake Monster products on ebay, especially the Turbine. I'm just hoping I will hunt down a genuine one on the cheap. A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of Turbine. I knew it was fake before it came because the seller had a low feedback and sold a crapload of other Monster...

Hey guys,   I've recently purchashed some Monster Turbines from Amazon. Got them about 3 days ago and ever since i just got them, i've been using the tri-flange tips large and they always pop when i put them in my ear which i assume means that the driver cone is warping as it's going in due...

im thinking of buying the monster turbines for 150 us dollars. now my questions is how do i know i got a proper fit is it just by sound or what? is there a technique for putting IEMs because honestly i just put them in my ear. and also what exactly is pink noise? thanks for all help

 Today some one told me to try out his dr dre beats.. and it sure sounds alot better than my apple headset..usually i dont really care about the quality etc but after hearing those it really made me think.. eh time to treat myself better.    Ive been looking at    Dr Dre Beats Tour  Dr...

Hi head-fiers, looking for a little advice or general opinions on a portable amp. I've poured through the forums on this but there's quite a bit of differing opinions on sq, value, etc, for the amps in my price range so I figured I'd start a new thread and see what folks had to say.   So...
