Hi there. I'm new to this site and forums in general. (Forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place) My purpose for signing up is to ask your opinion on what my next personal audio purchase should be. I'm looking for a nice pair of IEM's. I mainly listen to DnB, House, Classic rock and...

Looking for a new set to replace my Shure 530's, they've been very good to me (Originally purchased from ebay in August 2008) and I was pretty rough with them at times. Cable is cracked some on the left, noise appearing in the right. Still working but I anticipate failure in the near future...

It seems to come from nowhere but suddenly the R-50 from Rock It Sounds is taking Head-fi like a storm. The company is using the same OEM/ODM company we have seen in Head-fi before, but manage to tweak the products to their own design. Here is a complete overview of their current line-up.  ...

Hi Everybody,   A few months ago I broke my Hf5's for the third time and the warranty was over. I really liked the sound but I'm not willing to buy another pair because they keep breaking despite my best efforts to treat them nicely.   To replace them temporarily, I bought a pair of...

 My specific needs:   - Listen to classical music (and music where it's all about instruments), alternative rock, pop music, and other mainstream music. Nothing too hardcore for my ears that would make it bleed or hurt.   - Can block outside noises decently (I don't know if...

Hello, I'm new to this forum but have been reading quite a bit about IEMs for the last few weeks. I have a few in mind, and have pulled the trigger on one set, but want to learn some more and get another set in the very near future. I've based my decision largely on this site, and in large part...

Hey guys, so i am buying new IEMS. Not from USA, so harder with shipping, finding what i need, etc.. Now price is <250$. And don't ask what sound i prefer, because the only decent IEMS i used were Klipsch S3, and that's it ;)   Now looking at great review thread I just took all IEMs which...

Hi,   I'm in the market for some IEMs, however I live in South Korea and the differences in choice and price can be huge compared to the U.S or Europe. So, rather tell you what my budget is, it's probably better to tell you what I've found out I can afford after doing a little research.  ...

My only gripe about the R-50s is the absence of inline mic and controls, and i will probably use my iPhone as my main source of music. Do you think the Shure SE215i's will make up for their price with the mic controls? I have found a pretty good deal for them... do you think with a good EQ i can...

i just broke my vsonic gr06 today    so im in the market for a new set of iems would like to spend no more than 150    i listen to rap, hip hop, indie, rock, classical rock, and some orchestra   my source is samsung galaxy s3 with a digizoid zo2 amp   p.s. liked the gr06 but they...

Im looking at the Audeo Perfect Bass PFE 022, The sony MH1C, the Rockit R-50, The Etymotic H5 and the Shure 215i. My main music source will probably be my iPhone or my Mac. Which of these do you recommend? Im really stuck here, as there are so many to choose from, and im sure ill be satisfied...

Hello fellow Head-fiers,  Can you please point me in a direction for listening to classical music with IEMs? I'd prefer to keep the price between $50 and $100. The most important factor for me is durability, because I don't want to be buying new IEMs every month  I'm considering Hifiman...

I'm new here, I've searched the threads and can't find much info.  Most of it talks bout techno, Dubstep, and hip-hop.  What is your opinion of the best sub $200 dollar IEMs for Rock music?  I listen to a lot of Rock/Metal/Progressive for long periods of time at work.  I'm finally looking for...

I've been lurking this place for a while, it has been very informing/entertaining... but I think I could certainly use your experience   So I need IEMs for listening to FLACs/LAME MP3s w/ my old Cowon D2 in the subway   I'm pretty much an audio noob, I've only used some JVC Marshmallows...

So I'm new to head-fi after lurking around the forums many times. I'm a student and looking for a new IEM, I currently use Shure SE215s which a bought about a year or so ago and I'm just looking for something with a different sound signature(grown tired of the same sound ). So from what I've...

I am in the market for a new pair of IEMs. I listen mostly to Jazz (Apple lossless files) and will be using an iPhone 3GS as a source (and amp?). I have never owned IEMs, but I guess I am more on the analytical side (and if some coloration is necessary, I would opt for the warm+sweet) and plan...

Has anyone tried any of the xears new models like the bombastic, maestro, or the xpa2pro? The xpa2pro has detachable cables, i tried the klangfuzzies code and it took 114euros off the top, so basically the high end xpa200pro will go for about $50 US. Now i'm saving lol may bite the bullet on these.

                 Hi everybody, I am new here and I am looking for a pair in ear earphone since my old one is broken.  My price range is from $50 to $100. I have read a few review on Vsonic gr06, MEElectronics A161, or  MEElectronics A151. and other brand also. How are they working? in terms...

At the moment, I am using Ety HF5s with either an iBasso P4 or an O2 (iPod Classic 160GB as the source) as my portable rig. I listen exclusively to classical (orchestral, chamber and opera) and jazz. Whilst I am happy with the speed and resolution of the HF5s, I sometimes find the sense of scale...

Hey guys I'm looking to upgrade from my klipsch s4s but I'm having trouble deciding what I want. I have narrowed it down to the B2 and GR07. From what I have searched on the forums, the gr07 are slightly better. The thing is, the B2 are on sale for $100 vs the $160 GR07 on ebay. Is the...

(Vsonic GR01 / GR07 mk2 vs Rock It Sounds R-50 vs Monster Miles Davis Trumpet IEM which one has the best bass sound quality ? For Hip hop, rap, electronic, rock which one has the best high sound quality? For female vocal, violin.. I like led zeppelin ,Female vocal. And orchestra ( especially...

if anybody has both of these headphones, i would appreciated if they could post the comparisons between the both. and is there a significant difference between the mkI versions of these headphones?

I'm currently using a Sansa clip+ and FiiO E11, and looking to upgrade from my Brainwavz M4s, I've set a budget of £100 ($160) but I can't make a decision and would like some opinions, my music preferences are varied, I listen to just about everything except rock/metal, emphasis on vocal...

after long hours of research i've narrowed down to these 3 IEMs but i don't know which one is the best because they all seem really similar and there wasn't much comparisons between these headphones. what i'm looking for is a good balance on all 3 frequencies ,but i slightly favor towards mids...
