Hi all,   The cable on my old Shure SE210s has just conked out, so I'm taking this as an opportunity to replace them with some more up to date earphones. I've been doing my research and it seems like the HiFiMan RE-400 and HiSoundAudio Crystal are well regarded, but I'm open to any other...

I have the JVC FX40 and the sound is nice, but I would like something more comfortable.   I want something that sounds at least as good as the JVC FX40...I would like to spend around $50 or less.   I am not against buying second hand if the deal is right and I get more comfortable...

Hi All, I'm looking to by headphones for mixing live productions (Generally DJ Styled headphones, as one ear is usually off) between the $100 - $300 price range. For the lower scale of the price range I was look at this: Sennheiser: HD215 | Headphonic: Australian Headphone Specialists...

I need to get new 'phones after my second pair of PL50's have started to lose sound in one earpiece (the first pair got replaced under warranty). It has also recently happened on my second pair of Koss KE29's (lifetime warranty is a good thing for backup 'phones), and even my KSC75s at work...

I currently have SoundMagic PL50 balanced armature in-ear monitors.   I like them both for comfort and fit and for sound. I got them because I listen to classical music and read that balanced armature is recommended, and they were a good choice.   The main problem is they are too sensitive...

Hi all! Two years ago I bought the Soundmagic PL-50 after a recommendation of some guys here. I am very happy with them, they sound great and are very comfortable. Lately I have noticed that the right monitor started buzzing. It's an annoying white noise and it drives me crazy   Is there a...

I'm a newbie when it comes to audiophile world (or whatever one might call it) and up until now all the experience I've had with relatively high end IEMs had been with Dynamic driver types. I would really like to see what the "other side" can offer, preferably as cheap as possible for starters...

I have - Sony xba c10, SoundMagic pl50, RHA MA750I and the winner Ortofon e-Q5.

Hey guys was looking for some suggestions as into what brands to look into. I'm budgeting $200-300 for some IEM's. I listen mostly to EDM (trance/house mostly) and pop but my music library is filled with everything from classic rock, classical music, hip hop etc. Looking for something with clean...

hi all, I currently own the soundmagic pl50 and I absolutely love them. occasionally I put them on a little e5 amp with bass boost since their bass r really kind of weak sometimes and reccently my sister is looking for a pair of in ears, so I am thinking of getting a pair of equal level...

I just got my SoundMagic Pl50s today, from Amazon, for $54.95 http://www.amazon.com/SoundMAGIC-PL50-Isolating-Monitor-Earphones/dp/B004HCBX44   But when I opened the package, the SoundMagic box looked nothing like that in the photos. It's a grey/silverish colour on the outside unlike the...

Hi, there's a free shipping offer to all Europe at zococity and I'd like to order in-ear earphones at a range of 40-50 €. I listen to many kinds of music, from Oasis to Classic, Hip Hop to Chill out and more. Which one is better for my preferences Soundmagic PL50 or Soundmagic E30? There's a 8€...

They were a good pair of headphones, but I figured maybe its time to give something else a try. I don't know too much about audio, but I do enjoy good quality sound. Main things I'm looking for are price of somewhere in between $50-$100 and sound quality. I do listen to some bassy music, but I...

I found the cable in soundmagic products to be of low quality. I have two pairs of pl30s and two pl50s and like the sound and fit a lot, but each has broken down. First they go at the jack, so I shorten the cable and replace the jack, but then they go somewhere else possibly at the y-split. The...

Hi, I've been using my CX-300 II pairs for over one and a half years until 2 days ago left phone's cable got damaged. I've read a lot of topics before registering here. I was happy with my Sennheiser except for the highs. The highs are not good at all, actually. I listen many genres of music...

'ello all, I've had these for about a year now and they just started having this really bizarre issue. All audio playing through them sort of bounces around and echos between the two, making it sound like I'm listening to the audio from a room over or something. The weirdest part though, is...

Hi, I lost my PL50's earloop on the bus, is it possible to get a replacement somewhere? I searched eBay, Amazon & Mp4nation to no avail. Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking for a low-budget (~60 US$) Balanced Armature IEM. There are few to choices arround here and I don't want to import from elsewhere. I've tried the SoundMagic PL-30 and a bunch of other cheap driver-based IEM and I want to upgrade to balanced armature.   Between the...

Hello guys,   The Head Direct RE-0 is at sale @ $50 only. Including shipping , it would cost me around $60 to $65. And the cost of Brainwavz M3 is $76 currently. My Pl-50 broke down yesterday and I am now considering the above two as a replacement option for me.   Overall i like the...

So I had the blue, classic variant of Koss Porta-Pros for around 5--6 years before having cord problems that could no longer be fixed. Then just recently my friend and I have gone through a total of 5 Porta-Pros, with ALL of them apparently having problems between the 3.5 mm plug and the cord...

I am not an audiophile, but I love hearing music, hearing all the different tones of the instruments, the mids, highs, and lows, and I am just looking for a pair of IEM's that would be comfortable for everyday use, with clear sound, and good bass. Can anyone help me choose the best pair of...
