Hey everyone, after leaving my Klipsch x10's for some full sized cans (ATH-M50, Shure 840, etc) I have realized that IEM are really what I need.   I want to upgrade from my x10's. I loved them when I first got them 2-3 years ago, but after comparing them to the M50's, I realized that they...

So, after finding this site and spending ALL my tiny student budget on headphones, and promptly returning those that failed to suit my taste, I realized there is a HUGE unmet demand that this website both helps to create, and can help to alleviate. To cut to the chase, here it is:   This...

So i bought a Monster Turbine last year, almost got destroyed under serious abuse use I mainly listen to Rock, Pop, house, trance, sometime some jazz, blues and classics   I like how the turbine produce a punchy bass and how it has good isolation but I hate how the bass is somewhat...

I got my Turbine Coppers, and I got to admit I like the sound.  I really despise Monster, and I haven't purchased their headphones until the refurbished deal because of Monster's reputation.     The designers behind the Turbines have previous IEM design experience?  If so, for what company...

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...

Ok, so I'm very new to the audiophile scene, I bought my first 'real' pair of earphones a few weeks ago. (Senn MX 880 and I LOVE them) I went for an earbud instead of an IEM because I need to be able to hear background noise to an extent in a lot of situations. Now, I am looking for an IEM to...

Well, that was faster than I expected. Thankfully, these came with a full assortment of new tips. The only missing items versus a new set are the 1/4 adaptor, smaller case, and -- of course -- the lifetime warranty. Initial listen impression... wow, I've stepped back into the light...  

Hi, I am new to posting here but have been lurking for a little while. Great forums. I've learned so much.   I am basically looking to upgrade my Monster Turbines. I do like the sound signature. Just looking for a step up. I've owned the Shure SE530. But they were a little too warm for my...

Hi,   I'm coming from a set of SEN IE6's, which were amazing but i wanted to try something new, something more bassy. So I bought the Monster CTs from J&R and popped them in my ears. I'm a heavy bass head, I love booming deep and hard hitting bass, which i feel the IE6's had. I was thinking...

Hey Guys, I am new to this forum on the advice of a good friend of mine. I had never been into the portable audio world and used to use my phone for a few MP3's on the go with some decent IEM's nothing to crazy. I always put my money into my home theater setup or my car audio setup. I...

I've got the "grey" Turbine Pro and the cable tangles like crazy.  It is amazing compared to my M6 and W2, which I hardly ever have to untangle.   Are the Golds and Coppers this bad?.

Do you guys reckon this is a good transition and will provide an upgrade.

Sorry to create a new thread for this, but my budget, situation and preferences have changed since my last one.   Current headphones and my dislikes about them: RE0 - rough metal scrapes my ear, thin sounding, sloppy bass when it's there, the cables tie themselves in knots...microphonics...

Hi. I have the Tri.fi 10s and RE0s, and I love them both. For me the sound of the Tri.fi 10s is huge and rich, deep and spacious, while the RE0s' sound is so crystalline and detailed, sparkling and intimate. And I don't find the RE0s to be lacking in bass at all.   Now I'm interested in...

Hello, it's my birthday soon, and as a special treat to myself,i am thinking about upgrading from my recabled etyomtic er4p, to something better!   It's a bit of a risk, as i think i would have to sell the ety's to be able to afford the new ones!   Having just read the new 'earphone and...

I just received my MTPCs yesterday, but the problem is, I can't enjoy them! NONE of the ear tips fit decently. I went the my Sennheiser ie8 tips, but even those felt much different then when they are on the ie8s. Are there any alternatives? I use medium tips. Also, these are replacing my Klipsch...

Sorry for the rather long post.      Recently I've been thinking about getting new headphones because I don't think I bought the right ones the first time around. I listen to mostly metal and rock, and currently have Turbines, M50s, and the M6. My problem is mainly that they can end up...

Hey guys,   I am very new to this audiophile community. I wanted to get a sub 300 dollar earphones for my graduation gift. I already have Senn Hd280, but they aren't very portable. So I am looking for earphones around 300 dollar range. Any advice? Thanks guys

    Hello guys. I'm new to the audio world and got the monster copper based on this website. I ordered the copper from amazon. When I am exchanging different eartips in the first 15 minutes. The silver part falls out completely on the right side. The above picture is to show you guys where I...

I am really liking my IE8's because of their awesome soundstage, but really want to see what else it out there.   Just curious how the new Atrio m5's stand up against the MTPC's in:   Bass Soundstage Highs Mids Overall SQ   It would be greatly appreciated !   PS: I get...

May of last year I received Monster Turbine Pro Coppers for my birthday from my Grandfather(I had asked for them because of the great deal on the official Amazon dealer). I have had an excellent experience with them so far, but recently the left earbud has been suffering from periodic but...

The Monster Turbine PRO Copper version in ear buds are on sale for $225 at Amazon.com! OMG! They go for $400 new and these are new as well! You're Welcome and happy Head-Fi-ing!

Hey,   So today I received my Westone UM3x-RC and I already didn't like the sound signature the first time I put them in. Compared to the amount of bass I am used to for HipHop related genres, this one's bass sounded so tiny! So I repacked them and put them for sale on eBay.   Before I...

Hello all, I've been looking through the forums for the past 3 days, researching IEMs and Portable amps to make the jump from the standard iPod earphones to something with better quality sound. The forums have been helpful, especially with all of the available reviews, but I still don't know...

  Hello Head-Fi, Ok, so I've been lurking on here for a while now and finally joined! The bug has bitten me quite hard recently   I've had some experience with some of the more "mainstream" IEM's before finding this forum.   My first IEM was a Shure E2c, which was good to me for...
