    Sleek & Powerful: Audinst AMP-HP (Review)

      Audinst is mostly known for there wonderful HUD-MX1 DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) & headphone amp. Everybody loved it because of the performance to price ratio, and still serves as a very good budget recommendation even today at under $200. Recently, Audinst released another product...

    Hifiman RE272: Review

    Introduction:   First off, thanks to Hifiman for choosing me to be part of the review tour. Thanks also to mukulymn for loaning me his RE262 for an extended time.   But, the IEM couldn't have chosen a busier week to arrive. I could not spend as much time as I wanted with the review...

    Grado GR8 vs Monster Turbine Pro Copper for Rock music and Air Travel *Ordering a pair in the next hour*

    Title says it all. I am ordering one of these in the next few hours. Which is better for rock? If it is Grado, will it provide enough isolation? They are both the same price

    What's your " go-to " IEM or portable headphone?

    By " go-to " I mean what you always seem to go back to even through the vast amount of IEM's or headphones you may have.

    IEM recommendation (classical/jazz/ipod/current IE8)

    For the last few years, I have been using the Sennheiser IE8s.  My listening experience with these buds has deteriorated recently.  I can't get a good seal, the sound is distorted a bit when I do, and the bass is just too strong at times.  So I'm in the market for some new IEMs.  Could anyone...

    Lost the right channel in my GR07s...

    I've only had my GR07s for about 2 months. I don't abuse them, and already I've lost the right channel. I don't know how this happened, but I'm pretty pissed. What could have possibly caused this to happen so soon? Hopefully I can get them replaced.

    Small upgrade from HJE900 (portable HP or IEM)

    Hi,   I love my Panasonic RP-HJE900 for the quick sound fix I use them for. I used to always carry them in my pocket in case I should get bored somehow. But now I gave them away to a hot girl so I either have to get a new pair or upgrade (200 €)... or ask back for them!   What I love...

    In-ear earphones to last more than 3 months

    Dear friends,   I am looking for earphones that will last more than 3 months. I am fed up of breaking my earphones and spending so much on them over and over again. Warranty helps but mailing it in is a big pain in the butt, then have to wait for it to arrive, not to mention when courier...

    Good IEM around $200-300 that is NOT Monster.

    Hello members of the Head-fi community!   I've recently bought a pair of the regular Monster Turbines, and I was quite satisfied with them at first. I loved, loved the sound, this coming from a pair of Sennheiser CX 300 II which I found super, super harsh to listen to. I loved the bass...

    Recommendation needed! CK10 or EQ-5?

    Dear all,   My long-suffering phonaks gave up the ghost today.  Ok, I sat on them.  Either way though, they need replacing.   I enjoyed my phonaks with the black filter most:  I felt the grey didn't give me enough bass, and the bass with the blacks had much better extension and detail. ...

    IEM Suggestions / Comments

    Good Morning Gentlemen,     I'm looking to upgrade/change my current portable IEM setup and was hoping for a few suggestions or opinions on some models.  I've owned the Sennheiser CX300's for the past 3-4 years and while they've served me well in that time I think its time to move on.    -...

    Mid-High end iem upgrade from re0

    Hey guys, my re0's cable seemed to have screwed up leaving me with a hollow, tin can interior sound. I'm looking for a gd upgrade, seeking re0's clarity with bit more bass and lusher mids. I'm placing more emphasis on gd mids this time around for my guitar-based/vocal tunes, Not very adverse to...

    Re-zeros or fischer dba02s?

    I'm looking for the clarity of re0s but the warmth and color in the sound and less analytical-ness. From what I understand, analytical sound = details + clarity. But with analytical sound, you hear the headphones, and not really the music. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk

    Looking for a good alternative to the Shure SE530s, as mine have broken. Again.

    Hi,   Has anyone here ditched a set of Shure SE530s for something else? What would you recommend?   A bit of background:   My fourth(!) pair of SE530s has just given up the ghost. The first three suffered the dreaded cracked cable issues, and the filters in this fourth set have...

    Looking for IEM <$250 similar to RE-0

    I am new to the forums and have little experience describing sound that I hear as well as sound that I want, so I won't be able to be as precise in the descriptions of these things as may be ideal. I do not consider myself an audiophile, but I am (apparently) very picky when it comes to the...
