I'm looking for a new set of IEMs for around $300. I've been looking at a set of Shure SE530 headphones or something similar. As for sound quality, I would like something thats closer to the Dynaudio sound if that's possible, I have a set of BM5a monitors that I love. Based off info from several...

Hi, I was thinking of buying the IE8, and im wondering if they issue an authentication card of any sort.   Thanks in advance,

What IEM - universal or customs - sounds closest to a de-foamed HD600 for around $300 or less?* I need a portable better than my JLab J3,** which doesn't fit me right (so basically I'd prefer a nautilus-shaped universal) and also I'd like to get something better, specifically, sounds close to...

I need some gym headphones with lots of bass willing to spend up to 200. Can be used. Any recommendations? It's for an iPhone 4. I was thinking about the sennheiser 680 sports

Im comparing the westone 3 and The IE8.   So could someone please post a picture on how they look?

OK, wasn't planning to do this, but I've decided i'm going to anyway. I first started my audio journey with shure e2c, which is a dynamic driver iem, and then upgrade to westone um2. And I found i don't really like the um2 sounds, after a while, and now while my friend is in the states...

Help, and copious amounts of it...   Like the title says I'm about to make my decision on my (to be) final universal iem purchase. I am going unamped (for now until I can get the cash for a nice amp) but basically I want this to be one of my last universal iems before I go custom.   To...

I was just wondering if anyone that has the two could do a head-to-head comparison.   Please keep in mind which of the two would be better for: -Techno/Trance music -For physical work -Isolation   Where can I buy these in Canada?   Also if anyone has these for sale, please PM...

Im thinking about getting the IE8, just wondering where there made in.   Thanks,

Hi there, I'm looking to buy my first ever expensive earphones and I'm really lost as to what to go for, the dre beats immediately got my attention but I don't like alot of the reviews, apparently the bass is brilliant but the sound and clarity is really poor, I have a budget of about £200 but...

How should I choose for a bass head? I would listen to some pop songs.. Can anyone help me!!!

When it comes to portable audio, it just doesn't get much more portable than an IEM and a Ipod/Zune/Sansa etc. Even tethered to one of the small battery headphone amps, we are talking about something that fits in a shirt pocket. And if, like me, you commute 2 - 3 hours a day, anything that...

Hi, I've been looking to buy a pair of IE8s but I'm seriously concerned about fakes.... they seem to be absolutely everywhere!   I've contacted a seller about his and where he got them, and he says he purchased them from a Tesco in Turkey.  I can't find them in Sennheiser's list of...

So far these have been the ideal IEM for me. I am seeking an upgrade, but only because I want to upgrade, not because I want a different signature, etc. So, please recommend a set of IEMs that are similar, but better. Tough task, I know.

Yes, sadly it seems I have lost my Sennheiser IE8s, must have been on my recent trip overseas.   Apart from being gutted, I am now deciding on whether to get another pair, or if you guys can recommend another pair for me to get. I'm open to either IEMs or Circumaural Headphones, but I do...

  So, I recently found my IE8s lying in juice   I dried them out and tried to get as much juice out of them as possible - then I left them in a jar of rice for several hours.   I'm using them right now and...well at least it works.   However I'm a little worried there is still...

Hi everyone I have been through loads of threads and have some IEM in my mind but does anybody have an idea where to buy thse at decent price in canada. I am talking about: CK10, TF5, RE0, Klipsch S4, and all the other good IEM's thanx in advance

Hi folks,   I'm considering the IE8's.   My only concerns centre around fit.   1. Is there any issue wearing them with the wire down, rather than looped over the year?   2. Do they protrude much from the ear at all, when worn as per 1.?   3. Do they provide as good or similar...

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have actually gone from a dedicated headphone setup to a pure iem setup? The reason i ask is because recently I've been thinking of selling my Denons and going with a custom IEM.  I've given it a bit of thought and I'll provide some facts to help as...

HI! If you could only keep one single IEM/headphone of your whole collection, which one would you keep, and why?   Personally, from the phones I own at the moment (SM3, RE-252, IE8, Radiopaq Jazz, HD-555)  I think I would keep the SM3, because they offer the best balance between isolation...

I own a good number of high end universals and customs and when I bought the Shure SE535s a few months back, I expected them to be outstanding from the reviews. However, since then I have realised that they have:   1) Absolutely no sub-bass to speak of 2) Rolled off and recessed highs 3)...

Hey Guys what difference, if any, would there be in the sound if i use Soundmagic PL30 foamies/Shure Olives/Sony Hybrids? which ones are recommended? i'd like them to last long, and, i have experienced that, the higher frequency sounds that irritate me sometimes are lowered with the small...

Hey finallly my older shures have given the ghost so looking a new pair of IEMs. Currently looking in the price range of SE315 or Westone 2's which is £170 in UK or just trying some IE7/8s Any thoughts i like the isolations of my old Shure's and want something with good all round performance...

Hi,   I'm an aspiring audiophile.   A recent convert, you could say.  A few weeks ago, I suddenly realized how bad my earbuds were, and how everything sounds muddy and undefined.   Don't know why it took me so long to realize.  But anyway, I started lurking on this forum and reading about...

Guys i plan to pay Jaben Singapore a visit, but before that i would like to have some ideas what are the earphones suitable for my choice.   I can go up til Senheiser IE8 equivalents, but i know IE8 is more towards bass head.   I'm looking for earphones that are:   1.Comfortable...
