The Prelude:   As some of you guys might now, I've been exploring the universal IEM realm for quite some time and thus have used many IEMs. Been buying IEMs based on Headfi since 2005 and have learned quite a lot in the process. Gained...

I got lucky today. I was at the TRW Swapmeet in Los Angeles this morning and spotted an interesting pair of headphones at one booth. I picked them up, and saw that they were Audio Techinica electrets with the transformer box. I asked the owner what he wanted, and he said he'd take $20 for them...

Dudes.   The title pretty much covers it. I listen predominantly to Metal and so far, my Radius DDM has been mucho fantastico, purely for the fact that it makes basically EVERYTHING sound nicer. I'd like something similar, but obviously not identical, so the comparative technical pedigree of...

Hey, Head-fiers.   I'm considering picking up some GR07s (my avenues for doing so seem very limited, however; does anyone have a reliable vendor?) and am wondering how they sound compared to the Radius DDM. I love the Radius' signature and I hear that the GR07 is similar in the sense that...

Three words: Oh, my God.   Mind you, my point of comparison is a set of much loved and oft worn Senn HD 448s.  But these blow them out of the water. Why? Mainly on the trebel: I've been sampling Beethoven cello sonatas and the Late String Quarters and am hearing them essentially for the...

Hello everybody!   I'm in need of a new pair of IEM's. I do not have a lot of experience with them. I'm looking for something with a very energetic, lively sound, with emphasis on bass. I listen to everything but im mainly looking for something that is just going to make you want to get up...

I have gone through two pairs of Sennheiser IE8's (As my dog has pulled them out of my ears while sleeping and chewed on them), and I don't really want to pay $200 for another pair of them, especially since their customer service is not very good. So I am looking to buy a new pair, which are...

Right now have some cheap Scosche idr655ms.  Not very good.  Boomy bass for one thing.  I know that in price range I'm asking for I can't get the moon, but maybe MEElectronics, or Etymotic?  Hoping to find some 'musical' IEMs.  Know sometimes asking for accurate, you really want musical.  Can I...

Though I am not a fan of conventional earbuds, the wooden HP-WHF11M caught my eye long ago by taking the wood theme very close to heart - aside from metal reinforcements on cable entry and exit points, the shells of the earbuds are made almost entirely out of wood. The majority of portable...

I have $200 to spend on IEM's and I mostly listen to Rock, Metal, and industrial, so wondering which IEM would you guys recommend?? Thanks :) 

Hey guys, just wondering what earphones you would recommend for the most bass around $100 $150. I already have the Brainwavz M2 but they don't quite have enough so I am deciding to upgrade. Any that you could recommend that are bassier than the M2? I've heard the Turbines are quite bassy, should...

Hey all.   I'm TristanShiz from MP4Nation.   Ive been using the Brainwavz M2 for a while now and they are basically my standard of bassy sound, but i recently got a replacement pair and the workmanship is poor.   10min of use and the cable is fraying and the right earbud has no sound...

Hello, I'm trying to pick a very good IEM blind (without auditioning them) with some budget. What I'm looking for specifically is good extension in low end, not a lot of sibilance or similar phenomenon, preferably balanced sound. The IEM has to be reasonably durable.   As an example of...

So it's my birthday coming up in afew days and with the money i would love to buy some new in-earphones or headphones as im abit tired of the soundmagic PL50's, not the best. But anyway please let me know the best product available for listening to heavy music with really high and low parts...

Japanese audio house Radius broke onto the portable hi-fi scene last spring with the introduction of the HP-TWF11. Nicknamed DDM (for Dual-Diaphragm Matrix), the TWF11 became the world’s first dual dynamic-driver IEM. Though extremely well-received, the original DDM placed sound quality above...

I've had my Klipsch S4s for about 2 years now, and I think I'm ready to upgrade. My budget is still pretty strict, but I'd be willing to spend $150 on a new pair, $200 at the upper limit.   I like the S4s, but bass is quite a bit too much, it's like listening underwater at times. That's...

Right now, Amazon has the Phiaton 200 shipped for about $150. I think this is a decent price for them, but I was wondering if there was a another pair of IEM that are cheaper yet perform better.    I'm also looking at the Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi or the older ATHCK7, which are around the...

Hey guys. I am looking for some iems with good bass. I am coming from klipsch s4's, which I have lost and need a replacement for. I figure why not upgrade at the same time. My budget is up to $200 unless there is something so amazing for a little more. I looked through some other threads here...

http://www.jvc-victor.co.jp/accessory/headphone/inner/ha-fxt90/index.html Costs 10,000YEN, planned release during late April 2011. Uses metal housing, but only 3 sizes of ear tips... It uses a diaphragm of...carbon nanotubes?! Translated Specifications and Features: Type name HA-FXT90...

So, thanks to the very helpful communiy here at Head-Fi, I've narrowed it down to 3 IEMs. However! In order to truly hammer the nail into the coffin once and for all, I'm going to have to call on your collective powers one last time!   I'll bullet-point the pertinent information so you fine...

Hello there , I have some spare cash and thought I`d ask for recommendations for a new pair - Basically ,it could be new or used , so if there is a better ,used, pair that sells around 250$ - let me know . My initial thoughts were going after the UE TF 10 pro , as those were recommended to me...

Hey there again everybody!  Just a few months ago I was out on the market for a bass heavy IEM and with a fair amount of convincing I decided to go for HJE900. Well the initial impressions coming from Eterna were quite well lets say I was unimpressed whatsoever. But after a while it just grew...

I'm new to this forum and I'm buying my first pair of earphones; I would like some suggestions from you guys.  I mainly listen to hip hop, r & b and electronic music. I would like something with a decent amount of bass I will be using this with my iphone as well as ipad. I have another thread in...

I am trying to find the right earphone to replace my westone UM2's that have the common failing left channel (scratchy, cutting in and out).  Ironically, these UM2's were doing this from day one, and I sent them in for repair, only to be told there was nothing wrong with them. I am looking for...

Shure SE315  or TripleFi 10?   I'm looking for good earphones under $250 , and these earphones are some of the good ones I've found. Which of these two should I buy? Or if you have a good recommendation of any other $250 and under earphones, please post :D
