I've read a bit about them, never had a listen.   And I wonder what anybody who's heard them thinks, and t's vs. q's?   Kind of wandering around in IE land, trying to decide on some things.     Any experiences are welcome.

  So Ive been looking to buy a decent pair of headphones.  First off, my budget is roughly $350 CDN.  I spent a while looking into on ear headphones and came to the conclusion (based on reviews and most recommendations) that the ATH-M50 and HD-25ii were the two best options within my price...

Well, I have not check out Head-fi for few years (more into speakers this days) and seems like there are alot more products in the market compare with few years ago.  Long story short, I want to buy a pair of In-Ear Monitors for running and power buy iPhone, can you guys suggest few model I can...

Hi,   Anyone have thoughts on the IE8 vs EX1000? I've read reviews but I haven't found one that compared those two head to head. I'm currently looking for a pair of IE8 or EX1000 and I want to make sure I don't end up with fakes.   I've searched through the authorized dealers list on the...

Looking for some suggestions for some IEM's.  I listen to a variety of music, so balance is important.  I don't like overblown bass, or tinny highs.  Looking to spend under $250, would prefer to be around $200.   Another thing that I really like is the flat cable like the Beats Tour.  They...

Im considering trading my se530 for Orto eq5. Im really into vocals/midrange and love the se530, but I want to try other IEM and dont have money to hold on to both. Would you say the eq5 is at least as good as the se530? Is it a good trade?

Which of these would be best for pop/jazz and techno music (all of them are priced at about US$300) unamped? Not a basshead, but bass is important!   1. Ortofon e-Q5 (US $270) 2. Ortofon e-Q7 (US $320) 3. Radius W21 (US $300)   Or do you think the Panasonic HJE900 (US $190) or the...

Update: There's a caveat to this review, because according to new information the featured Final Audio IEMs may very likely not be moving armatures. Of course this doesn't have any reflection on the descriptions of sound signatures and differences given here, but to my dismay my whole tagline...

This thread is meant to be a simple comparison / reference, to make things easier for new comer to sort through dozens of IEM quickly in regard of finding the sound signature they are looking for. However, sound signature is not purely a translation of frequency response graph – and certainly...

I'm guessing many have gone through the confusion that I'm going through now  The orto's liquid mids vs the re262's lush mids, the orto's clarity and unique presentation vs the re262's realistic timbre and engaging presentation... it's a very tough choice, I don't know if I can justify keeping...

Tagline If you want your music hard, aggressive and unforgiving, then skip the EX1000 - they're hopelessly romantic. Otherwise you may just have found your perfect IEMs.   Links Here's a link to tuahogary's YouTube Re-Unboxing video and here are his early impressions. Here's a link to...

Im currently looking at the UE TF10 sold by amazon. seems quite cheap. but i am open to any other suggestions.

If you went out to buy an IEM today and the following three are available, which one would you buy ?   Grado GR10 Ortofon E-Q5 Final Audio Design Heaven S

Hello fellow Head-Fi'ers!   I'm looking into replacing my lost UE700. They will mostly be used for metal and rock, but blues, acoustic and folk might sneak in, as my music taste is ever evolving and expanding, but rock and metal is at it's core. Now as I'm looking for new IEMs, I want a...

Hello head-fi!   As per now I've got Hifiman 601  and UE 5pro. Unfortunately, both player and source have a little lack of highs and are a little too bass-heavy. Together, they provide too bassy sound. The music styles I listen to are quite different, it can be symphonic metal (Nightwish...

So I have finally decided to move on from the q-JAYS (which I still love) and try to buy the famed Audio Technica. Reasons I want to upgrade to CK10: -The itch to upgrade -Hopefully a more refined, detailed sound -Build quality -Small size -After reading various impressions by...

  I recently purchased the TMA-1 Headphones by AIAIAI, the main reasons being they are very portable, and have great sound quality. I'm enjoying them quite a bit, and it was money well spent, I happen to love their deep bass punch and clarity. However, being an on-ear headphone, they are not...

I want to thanks Dimitri @ Musica Acoustics Japan (MAJ) for providing the review sample. MAJ is one of the biggest Japanese earphone exporter. If you are interested in getting an e-Q5 from MAJ (which ship internationally), you can email them for detail and mentioned you are a Head-fier, which...

This is the first post of a wanna-be cash-strapped audiophile.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a set of headphones/earphones/IEMs that meet the following criteria? 1. approx $400AU 2. Suitable for listing to a very diverse range of music including (but not restricted to) renaissance...

Hi everyone,    So I know nothing about amps but of course I would be willing to try anything to improve the sound (which is already fantastic).    So I have the Ortofon eq-5's, Fischer Audio Silver Bullets and the Panasonic HJE 900's. For the SB's I have to pump the volume up fairly...

I am looking for an IEM that is slightly warm, rich midrage and enjoyable to listen too. Second is detail and separation, as Im a musician and I like to discern different instruments in order to play them by ear. Total balance and neutrality is not a requirement, but a slight coloration is fine...

Howdy all,   I am seeking a very nice pair of IEM's with a budget of up to around A$250.00.   The music i listen too includes Trance, Dance, Hip-Hop and some Easy Listening.   I have some RE0's but find they lack bass and seem to have low sensitivity due to the high impedance so any...

I found an unboxing here: http://www.bestheadphones.com.au/index.php/headphone-news/item/98-ortofon-e-q5-ear-canal-headphones So they look good, but anyone here tried them?

I just recieved the new e-q5   just played for 15 minutes and the sound is in one word  ( Amazing )   It has Excellent Bass Extension and Transparency I used the Silicon Medium ear-tips that it came with    so the treble is just right meaning the way it suppose to sound  not sibilant...

I am currently on the hunt for a pair of IEMs with powerful bass and great overall sound quality.  As of right now, I own a pair of Beats Tour and am completely over them.  The bass isn't too bad...it's the rest of their performance I could do without.  The instruments tend to blend together...
