I'm looking to buy an inexpensive (less than $100) pair if IEMs, I listen mostly to metal, hardcore and melodic hardcore. Also, if there is a particular thread I should be posting this, please give a link. I also plan on mostly using these for walking in the Winter, so it'd be good if they were...

Hi guys I need some recommendations for my galaxy S2 after my old pair of cx271 gave up the ghost this week. Now I know the S2 isn't the greatest DAP out there and it requires some careful matching to sound decent (although Poweramp helps), not least because of its high output impedance. I'm...

Okay, so i've decided to try and get some nice and proper IEMS to replace my PL30's. I love them to death, but i feel that i could get something with much better audio quality. As although the PL30's sound sensational, they sound like a 50 dollar IEM. I kinda want something better. So heres a...

Hey guys, i posted not to long ago for some suggestions on good low budget iems, everyone highly recomended soundmagic so i bought a pair of pl21s to start, and i have to say i absolutely love them!!!!  best pair of iems ive ever purchased.   so now i think im somewhat addicted im looking...

HI I am new here and I wanted a suggestion. I have previously had apple earphones, logitech ue 200(fell apart) and Phillips SHE3580(stopped Working) they all lasted about a month and they were junk. I was wondering which earphones will be the best out of these? I would want them to last atleast...

Hey i love music and im looking in to buying a new pair of in Earphones in the price range of 20 to 50 euros, im a complete noob as far as name brands go ive bin using skullcandys and all sortsa crappy earphones you find in argos/hmv so i was wondering if you could maybe throw some suggestions...

Hi,     I'd be really grateful if anyone could advise not on specific models but on the general sound signature which is likely to suit my situation. I hope that you will forgive that although I have a rough and ready audio knowledge, I'm aware I lack the technical expertise of posters...

whats the worst pair you've spent your money on?

I've been using a Cowon S9 and Shure SE210 for several months now, and then decided to also buy a FiiO E6 headphone amp.  Was this a good decision? Any advice which EQ would give it the best sound?

Hello everybody! Since I'm sick of my iPhone's bundle earphones, I'm looking for new IEM. My budget is about 60-70$ (I am no audiophile, just want a good sound for a fair price). I listen mostly to progressive rock/metal. I'd like a balanced sound, maybe with a slight bassy impact (I...

So finally my Soundmagic PL50 deserted me yesterday. We were together around two tough years but past 6 months, I used some glue /adhesive tapes to fix them. Ultimately , they are garbage now. I already own a Audio Technica ATHM50 however, for my cell phone and while travelling I need something...

Hi All,       Pretty simple request - want canalphones I can wear in bed to blank out any surrounding noise at night, so it doesnt matter if the level of isolation would be dangerous in traffic. I havent found any of the IEMs I have owned thus far - PL50, RE0, RE262, FA Omega and a couple of...

Good evening! Yet again I need advice from experts. At the moments I'm doing a little research on which earphones or iems to buy. My budget is kinda flexible, I would prefer to spend less if its possible, but if the product is worth the money, I would be more than happy to pay around 200$...

Delicate, Unique N Utmost (DUNU), is a Taiwan-based company, perhaps most known in Head-Fi for it’s popular bang/buck IEM Trident (DN-12). In 2007, DUNU released the first ever Chinese BA-based IEM, the I3C. Priced at 599RMB (roughly ~100$), it was dirt-cheap for a BA at that time, but sadly...

Well,I have just recently joined(as u can sure well see!!) Head-Fi coz I was advised by friends to seek the experts' guidance from here .   As u might have guessed(and even if u haven't ), I'm from India.   Disclaimer: If the post looks too flashy,forgive me,I only wanted to make it...

So my cat chews up most of my headphones so I'm looking for a cheap pair because it's just costing to much. Sometimes I have a brain fart and leave my headphones out by accident and then come back and see my cat got to them.  I still own many headphones however such as the meelect...

I have never owned or used an amp before,so this would be my first portable amp I'm buying.   My source would be the iPod Touch 4th Gen.   Almost all my songs are mp3 320kbps with some being 256kbps.   IEMS : VSonic GR07 and SoundMAGIC PL50 I also use a Sennheiser HD419 ( I know...

  Hi all, sorry if this post is a repeat, or retreading old ground, but I did some searches and didn't find anything particularly similar (particularly in my price range). Anyway, here goes. I have trying to find a good solid pair of IEMs for general commuting/walking around use. I suppose...

Hi all, New to the forum. I am a frequent "traveler" and always listen to my music when out and about, on my Samsung Galaxy S (with a app which has a quite good EQ system). I've been using my Shure SE210's for well over 2-3 years (bought them for around £80ish?), but the fact the extension...

First, thanks to the many who have previously weighed in on previous threads about best IEMs for sleeping.  Many point to the MEElec M6s, the Soundmagic PL50s, and Westones, with somewhat less frequent nods to the q-jays, db-Logic EP-100s, Shure 215s, and Phonaks.    I too am looking for...

I've been using an Earsonics SM3 for a year now and I am very happy with it. A firend of mine is to go into the IEM world with a budget of about 100 $ (130 $ max). He uses a 6th Gen Ipod Classic (un-rockboxable, so no EQ, just crappy presets). We need to get him neutral IEMs. I've used his Ipod...

we all wanted a very good and nice In Ear Monitors or Ear buds, but we have to admit that we all have different opinions, different hearing talents, in this thread you can post all your opinions and suggestions and reviews regarding this IEMs that is available in the market, please respect other...

I have been a fan of the Soundmagic IEMs since I first heard the PL30s. They have been my unrelenting workout IEM for over nine months and I honestly do consider them one of the best, if not the best, sub-$30 IEMs on the market. The latest additions to Soundmagic’s lineup, the PL21 and its...
