Has anybody ever tried to clean the filters of the Phonak PFE phones? Maybe with a tiny brush, or using some alcohol or alike? I know there are replacement filters available but I hesitate to dispose something just because it may have caught some dirt, without at least having tried a cleaning...

I'm new to posting on the site but have been reading for a while.  I'm looking to find some budget IEM's that are strong in clarity and detail.   My background is with cheaper IEM's that have a mid bass hump and very little treble extension.  Right now I am using a pair of old Sony Fontopia...

I already posted awhile ago but I researched a bit further and found some more detailed criteria for what I'm looking for.   In order of importance: 1. tight, controlled bass. can't be weak here, but it shouldn't overshadow the mids. 2. detailed, airiness, analytic 3. immersive sound...

I'm interested in possibly doing this. Does anyone know if it's possible and where I'd get it done?

On the USA site I am able to order the "Audeo Perfect Bass Earphones (021)" ($89) or the "Audeo Perfect Fit Earphones (111 and 112)" ($139) and they will ship to Canada too. I'm wondering what models these correspond to?   On the International website the two models offered are: Audeo PFE...

Okay so I've had q-Jays for about a year now and while I love the sound quality I've always had a few issues with them. For a start the cable has always bugged me, it seems fairly stiff and actually has lifted out my headphones out my my ear while walking along. I knew about the length before...

Hi, I'm looking for a new IEM for around $200.   I've got my eye on:   Westone 1 ($140) Westone 2 ($250) Shure SE425 ($300) Phonak PFE ($140)   I'm looking for something neutral sounding, that's good all around for most types of music.

I'm trying to figure this out, but to much success. Most of what I've found is rather mixed and not exactly very resolute. Anyway, I have an ipod 6g, 80gb, and I notice a slight hiss or jitter of some sort in the background. This is definitely from the ipod, as it's not apparent with the same...

Hi, it's my first post also if I read from a bit. I know it's annoying question you have write in other posts. By the way know I must change my earphone because it broke  again. I bought a pair of Shure SE210 two years and half ago. After only 6 month of heavy use but not misuse his cable...

Hey all, I'm kind of new to the headphone scene and am looking to find an iem to pair up with my ATH ES7 (which I bought thanks to this site  ) and have finally narrowed it down to the above iems. I really like the sound of the ES7s though desire a bit more bass so I figure that these are the...

Greetings all...I've been away from this forum for a while and it has served me greatly for years with the information. I had a pair of DT770s (sold em eventually they were just too large) and I still use my Grado SR225s on a daily basis. I'm ready to get some high quality IEMs. My friend...

  Hello boys and girls, nice to meet you all btw :). I am looking for new iems to replace my cx300ii. I plan to use them unamped with my 5800xm and my pc. The tricky part is that i have to order my new iems from somewhere inside the EU because otherwise i am in danger of getting my ass taxed...

Hi all,    I recently purchased a pair of PFE 012 but was wondering if other Comply foam tips would work just as well as the recommended t-130s.  The reason I ask is because I live in Japan and had to order my PFEs from the UK  and the only Comply foam tips they stock here are the...

My right ear doesnt work therefore they are sending me a new pair and I was wondering if I should keep the triple fi 10 or sell them and get something within that range? I like them but i bought them for $140 and I could sell them for around $160 and nab the Phonak PFE or the RE0 for cheaper...

Basically, my budget could let me buy ue tri fi 10 pro /IE8,but since I read “headphoneaddict” rating which PTE is far better than 10 Pro, it make me so confused what I should get for my next iem. Technically, 10 pro is 3 drivers IEM which seems to be ahead of PTE/ IE 8. I like crisp, a bit...

Tagline: Stay out, or read only the parts about the RE252, RE0 and PFE, if you strongly oppose to EQing. Read on if you’re interested in how EQing can make some budget IEMs sound eerily close to top tier phones. Or read on just for the fun of it. Introduction: This writeup is kind of a...

My old Goldring GX200's have broken and im in the market for some new 'phones. Ive been reading a lot and ive come down to a few choices now:   Head Direct RE0 PFE 012 Perfect Bass Hippo VB   I listen to RnB, Dubstep, Hip Hop, and a lot of Michael Jackson.   What would you guys...

Kind of a fun exercise to do -- rank the IEM's you've heard. Here's mine: X5 > RE0 > SCL4 > PFE > Q-Jays > SA6 > RE2 > SF.5 Pro > PL30 > C551 > CX300.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some new IEMs around 150$ that have some nice bass for techno music. I don't want muddy sounding bass and want to still hear the mids and the highs. I listen to lots of drum and bass, house, ambient, and some rock too. So far I'm thinking about the turbines or...

Hi,   I bought a pair of Q-Jays last year and the left headphone is starting to crap out.  Unfortunately, I bought them off eBay from a private seller and have no receipt so I can't really follow up on the warranty.  They were only £60 so I don't feel that bad.   So, I'm looking for...

  Hello all,   I've been using Shure's for the past four years: E2Cs > E3Cs > currently using SE210s. I've never had a major problem with the sound quality on those earphones, mainly because I've always used EQ on all my DAPs to compensate.   However, I've recently started to use...

OK2, PFE, K319, ADDIEM, MX760 - known speed and instrument separation champs.   But Speed alone isnt enough - a LITTLE weight, fullness, body, density is needed for a punchy pacey presentation. too much body harms separation. I love to hear the change of tone as accurate as possible.  ...

Hi there. I would like to try new tips for my Phonal Audeo PFE.   I have small ear canals and even the small shuer olives are a bit big for me. They are hard to put into my ears, but once I do it they make a good seal. The real problem is that they cause a bit of irritation in my ears.  ...

Just wanted break the news that the new Phonak Audéo Perfect Bass earphone models (standard earphone: 012, earphone with iPhone mic/button: 022) are about to be released in the UK - see http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/496179/phonak-aud-o-perfect-bass-earphones-new-models-pfe-012-022  ...

Hello,   The last time I came here for IEM recommendations I ended up getting a Maximo iM-590. I was satisfied with the sound quality but they were kind of painful to wear, and after a few months the sound was gone in one earphone so I asked for a replacement; Maximo were kind enough to send...
