I've been doing quite a bit for research in order to find a nice pair of great sounding IEM's for my iPod that won't break on me after a few weeks. I've grown pretty discouraged so far as it seems very difficult to find durable IEM's that I can use reliably. I'm just relying on general...

Hello everyone, I am a rather new member this will be my second post so try not to burn me to much if this is the wrong forum section to ask in. Apologies in advance if needed.   But anyways I have recently been very interested in getting a quality set of headphones. Currently i use a cheap...

Well, it's about that time.  I'm looking at my audio stuff and thinking "hmm, what should I drop $200 on next?"  I was thinking of buying new IEMs (to uprgrade from my S4s) but there are a lot of fine looking portable headphones out there.  I am only concerned that portables will not give me the...

I mainly listen to rock/pop/classical music and use my dell streak / ipod classic. I currently love my Brainwavz M3 but am looking for something more! Is it even possible to get something for under US$150? My current choices are..1.Radius DDM   2.Audio technica cks90   3.Klipsch S4    4.Monster...

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

I currently use the ATH-M50s for my fullsize headphones and I really love them. However, I have a pair of old Sennheiser CX300's which have had their time. I think their mids and highs are pretty terrible so I'm looking for a new pair of IEMs which meet the following preferences around the...

Both used, both at the similair price, both tempting in their own way. I know their sound sig is different, but I'd like to hear your opinions. Many renowned users here rank HJE900 very highly in terms of timbre and Phonak midrange is said to be one of the best in class. When on-go (and...

...use with my Clip.   Right now I'm using Porta Pro's which I like, just want something a little different. Most of my music is bluesy classic rock sort of stuff, some acoustic too. My main phones (home rig) are Grado HF2's. I'm open to something more neutral and analytical as opposed to...

If there's too much hiss, get it! It works without changing the sound! I have a macbook, and whereas one volume square was too loud, I can now go to 6!   Thanks, MacKat

First post. I need some new headphones, but I'm a total nooby. I have an ipod (iphone 4) and use the standard issue headphones. They're ok, but I do virtually all of my listening on my bus commute to/from work - over 2 hours a day mostly at freeway speeds.  Buses are loud, so I really have the...

So my friend is an avid snowboarder. Heck I could even say he is addicted to snowboarding. Of course, he listens to music while snowboarding, but he has proven that he constantly breaks them within a month or two.   Of course I call him on his incapabilty to take care of his earphones, but...

Alright, after a good 16-20 hours of listening these past 3 days, and hearing one song that I was left awestruck on my ASG-1s, I feel I have enough ammunition to do a decent review of these new IEMs of mine. I'll probably do a site based review as well (these need more proper ratings). I'm also...

Hey everyone. Happy to be here and extremely eager to get into "audiophilism" seriously. I want to start a thread dedicated to modifying IEMs and earphones specifically making them monos/ detatchable like the panasonic 900's(zircons) and the ue superfi's and triple fi's.   Now my specific...

I like bassy phones.  I currently have the turbines and have an eterna and a vb coming in the mail.  I also have a few bassy phones in mind I'm interested in buying like the hje900, meelec m11, ie6/ie8, atrios, etc..     But now I'm thinking I wanna experience "the other side of the...

OK. Before you say there not comparable, this thread is about value as much as it is about sound.   I want these headphones for use on an iPhone and laptop. I will listen to music and watch movies. Also, I prefer to wear them looped over-ear which might rule some out as some are better at...

Soundstage(separation)/sub bass/isolation.. how do they compare?   Does silver bullet fall out of your ears if you move since it seems pretty long..   Any other recommendations are welcome ~$150

Hi fellow Head-fi'ers,   I recently purchased a Panasonic RP-HJE900 after reading about it here and have been very happy with it. So thank you! However, my search for the perfect tips is still ongoing. I have tried Comply which turned out to be great but they get dirty too quickly and are...

I remember some people were using foam to tame the highs on their HJE900s and on other iems were taking filters out and replacing it with foam.   Where can one pick up that sort of foam? I need some for an experiment. I only need a little and I imagine it should be cheap.   Any...

I keep seeing these "Deal Alert" threads popping up frequently, so I reckon we're due for a single thread for them.      Here's what you should post:   The model and price. The link! LOCATION! For example, if you're in the EU and it's an EU store, make sure you say this, as people will...

I have been cycling through at least 2 pairs of headphones a year now - the cable never seems to last too long with how often I use them (several hours each day). I have done a lot of research on IEMs and it seems that as soon as I found one I like, I discover something bad about them (bad...

So here's a question or two for ya.  Obviously the sound quality of many (most?) IEM's improves substantially as they break in.  However, does it start to degrade over time?  Improve?  Do the drivers "burn out?"  I imagine the answer is also different depending on the type of driver (my phones...

I've come to realise the headphone output of my MacBook isn't very good. So I'm looking for a conveniently sized headphone amp/DA converter to plug into the USB port. It'll drive my Panasonic HJE900 as well as Sennheiser HD650.   What are the options, what do you recommend?

Hi Everybody!   Have been stalking these forums for well over a year now. These forums have helped me hugely to decide on my first set of IEM's which was Eterna rev.1. But sadly after owning them for a good year they gave up on me (after a LOT of abuse).   I really LOVE the Eterna! The...

I am thinking of upgrading from my Panasonic RP-HJE900 headphones to something a little pricier and snazzier.  I really liked these headphones for my music (they pack a lot of bass for what I've heard), and I would like some headphones with a similar range (bright treble, big bass) just fancier...

I bought a pair of Pana RP-HJE900 in-ears about six months ago.  I really like these headphones, and would like to get a good replacement cord.  I already tried the sleek audio SA headphone cord, but I can DEFINITELY hear a difference in the sound quality.  I think it's most likely because I'm...
