Just signed up,new here. Wanted to get some info. I need to replace my earphones for my iPhone 4. I am looking for comfort as well and best sound quality. Controls and also mic for incoming calls would be nice too. What are some of the top of the line earphones out there right now that would...

Hey guys, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I have been doing tons of research on your website and have even resorted to calling most of the big name manufactures (Shure, Grado, Monster, Klipsch, UE, Westone, Senn., etc.). So basically my main source for audio is from my...

Hello !   Since approx 3 months I'm barely able to change the sound of my IE8s, even if I put the basses at the max on one side and at the min on the other side by turning the screws.    While they were fresh, out of the box, I couldn't bare more than 10 minutes with the max settings it...

Hi all: which is better, Sennheiser IE8 or Ulimate Ears 10 (in your opinion of course)? Currently looking to get a pair of, but can't decide which, and it would be great if you can explain the pro and cons of the two if you know...many thanks

Hi,   for my bicyle tours I'm looking for some InEars with subpar noise isolation (cause I want to hear cars when I'm on roadparts).   Which one could be interesting?   Senn ie8 Beyer DTX100 Klipsch Custom 3 Audeo 121     Or are there special / transmissible pads that may...

Hi, you'll have to forgive the trollbait-esque title, I realize that each serves its own purpose, but my question is how do they compare sound-wise?   My history of sound: 1] $1 headphones bundled with a radio from the Dollar Store until I wanted something better 2] Klipsch Image S4 IEMs...

I've been comparing my entire headphone collection. Using my 307A and MSB Platinum III. I have been doing an extensive write up which I plan to share with Head-fi in the coming months. The Writeup is huge though and since I'm really putting effort into it, I want to make sure that I review as...

Dear Mods, apologies, I realised I've posted this in the wrong thread. Is it possible for this to be moved to 'Recommendations..."?   Hi there head-fiers, I'm getting myself a bit worked up over what my next IEMs should be and wanted to see if I could get some direction from those that may...

So my Klipsch Image S4s are getting old and I feel like the sound quality simply isn't accurate enough for me.  When turning the volume up, it's easy to hear many imperfections in the sound.  Since Christmas is just around the corner, I've decided to treat myself nicely and pick up some high-end...

Hi - sorry if this is a familiar question, but I'm hoping someone can give me some useful advice!   I am a working musician and listen to all styles of music, particularly jazz / acoustic as well as funk / soul / electronic. I have just bought a set of IE8s to replace my broken UE700s.... I...

So I've lurked this site for quite a while - I'd say for at least a year.  Ever since receiving my UE Triple-Fi 10s, I've been on the hunt for an even better pair.  However, I find myself in the same problem every time I look around - another option to consider, another review contradicting the...

I lost my Shure E4c's recently and now I have an opportunity to buy a set of Shure E500.   I know they are a few years old, but these are still sealed in the box. The question is if the new 535 are worth twice the price.   Will be used unamped with an ipad and nano 5g.   Opinions?

I've given up on my Phonaks, and have decided to replace them and spend a little more.   I'm looking for excellent isolation and comfort and a precise, warm sound with decent soundstage.  My music taste is prog rock/metal, folk and classical.   I can get the Westone 3 for ~£260, or...

Hi,   The thing is that he has a chinese crappy earphone (not earbud). When he tried my IE8, he said that he didn't see any big difference and so he is satisfied with his earphone. How to convince him in this case?

Everything I read about high-end headphones - be them EarSonics, Sennheisers, Westones, etc. - always seem to be done by listeners of Country, Rock, or Classical. Can somebody give me some suggestions as to the best ones for RnB? Thanks!

Hello everyone.   I have recently purchased a pair of IE8s and I was wondering if y'all could clarify a couple things for me. I am a firm believer in the physical burn in and mental burn in but I am not sure on how this is usually performed with the IE8. I realize there has been numerous...

My daughter will be going to China/Hong Kong this winter.  Are there any deals on IEMs there that I should ask her to pick up for me?

hi? who is the best headphone the sennheiser ie8 or shure se535

I currently have an HD580 with HD650 driver running through a uDac. Might get a Schiit Asgard soon.   With that out of the way: I have no IEM's. My last pair (SuperFi 5vi) were a big disappointment but then again were only $50. I think I may want something portable again... I was...

I'm in the market for a pair of high end iems. I have give or take $300 usd to spend. I listen to many genres but lately I have been mainly listening to rap and Techno so solid bass is a must. I would also like to be able to use them while I lift weights so design is also key. At this point my...

Long time lurker, been thinking of picking up a new pair of iems for christmas. I've had a pair of ER4Ps and the ER6Is and both were pretty sweet, the Ps got stolen and the right bud in the Is died, so right now I'm using a pair of ipod headphones for when I'm on campus. I've got a pair of...

Just a month ago, I purchased Sennies IE8, and let me tell you, I'm in love with the sound. I upgraded from my poopy Skullcandies and IE8's sound is definitely way better. Though recently, when I was jogging, my ipod fell out of my sweater pocket and due to a lot of pressure added to the wire...

I have been using the SM3 for the past 6 months and have a pair of MTPC as well. I have also tried Senn IE8, and many mid level ($100 range IEMs) as well as $30-70 ones.   I also have been experimenting with fullsize headphones over the past year. I thought I was done with fullsize though...

 Hi.Has anyone tried this cable "upgrade"? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Upgrade-Cable-SENNHEISER-IE8-Night-stalker-IE8-/110574283606?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19bebdab56http://cgi.ebay.co.uk Thanks for any info.

Hey, I was just wondering...     when people talk about 'phones with awesome soundstage, they're often like, "it's like so-and-so band is right infront of me/in the room with me/etc.!" And while I do think neither of my gear is particularly lacking in spaciousness, I'm having some trouble...
