These cans are on amazon for $200. Are they worth the money for a good quality isolating headphone for someone who enjoys all genres of music?  The lack of soundstage also concerns me...

So I've gone and lost another set of earphones - this time a set of Sennheiser IE8s.  I was hoping on some recommendations on a next set before I just go back to TripleFi 10s (the set that was lost before my IE8s).   I really liked my TripleFi 10s, much more than the IE8s which just never...

Bestbuy is about to ban me from their store if I keep returning IEMs I started out at $20 for some cheap Sony's (bumpin beats), then tried the Skull Candy (smokin buds), Phillips Sport over the ear, then Klipsh S4 (they were nice, but heart my ears due to fitment and I would like more bass)...

Long story short, I have some IE8's on the way from a forum member here to replace (battle against) my TripleFi's, and I'm really interested in building my own cable for it.  My disclaimer is that I've never built my own cable before, but I'm very experience in the diy world (car and home audio...

The UM3X isn't as enjoyable as it was when I first got it.  The soundstage is kind of a turn-off for me:/ Does anyone have a suggestion of an IEM I should get aside from the SE535 or the UM3X?

I currently own a pair of Shure Se-115's, and am looking for an upgrade, my budget is around £200 ($300) From listening to the shures Pros: Good midrange Really good isolation Cons: Lack of bass emphasis Rolled off highs I listen to lots of different types if music, but mainly Electronic...

I owned the HD650 for about 2 years now but iv decided to go for a more portable approach to my music. i originally decided to go with the westone 4 mostly cause the pair i picked up were only $300. at first i thought they were very muddy sounding but they started growing on me. i loved the...

Hi there,   I'm pretty new to this thread, as you can see... I was looking online and found an IEM called Sennheiser IE8 NOw Ive been researching and the list price is $190 Should I get these IEMs if they are at this price and are they worth it The kind of music that i listen to is...

Which one should i get... i listen to a lot of kpop so highs and mids should be superb and more better than bass. which ones then to get...all of them are under $200 btw

Hi Folks,   i am kind of audiophile, but about what am i talking, i think every body here is.    Actually i am using my iPhone 4 with a Shure SE315 (i didn't found it in your ranking...). My files are most in 256kbit/s AAC compression.    Is it worth to upgrade to a Sennheiser IE8 or...

Hey guys,   I've been looking around the threads on these forums for close to 3 hours now and still can't really make a decision on which in-earphones to get!   I mainly listen to house/electro music but do dabble occasionally into rock,pop, chillout, etc.   So I guess I'm looking...

Years ago I had some Shure E4cs and returned them promptly for lack of bass and that tinny sound dreaded by bassheads. I purchased some UE SuperFi5EBs and never looked back. Until I progressed from the EBs to Westone 3s, and now find myself longing for more clarity. So, I just ordered a set of...

  I managed to bend the metal on the jack a month ago and it eventually broke off :( How do I fix this? Is there a way to fix it without a soldering iron?   Many thanks.   http://imgur.com/ulXoo

Just got mines today and I'm absolutrely wow'ed by the sound of them. ALMOST (and I said ALMOST) as good as the triple driver, 3 way, UM3X and better than the SM3 on my opinion. Vocals are lush and sweet, forward and natural like the UM3X/SM3, with outstanding definition and texture, bass is as...

Been using Skull Candy In-Ears for couple of years now and I'm getting sick of them. I tried various amounts of in-ears and over heads and I decided to stick with In-ears. I heard the IE8's are among the best for the $200-$300 price tag range.   However, I see some real ones going from $150...

I've been using my Ultimate ears TripleFi 10 for quite some time now, and I absolutly love them, but I wished the had more bass. I listen to a lot of electronica music (trance, dubstep, house, and electro) and I feel the IEM don't really satisfy my bass needs.   So, I am considering selling...

Happy new year head-fi! I recently received a pair of Sennheiser IE8 from my cousin that went to the states (Some 3 weeks ago). All was well with the sound and build quality until recently when i attempted to remove the wire from the driver it simply won't buldge. I then found out from my...

Believe me, i don't usually make (actually never) threads talking about customer service but I just felt like I had to make one. I am also not the person to usually mail in broken products still covered under warranty to companies because I am very skeptical, having read a lot of horror stories...

The title says it all. I've pretty much google'd so hard that my fingers are numb, and still I can't seem to find any shops selling anything other than IE8's and X10's.  I'm looking for the UM3X and so far no luck. My only way it seems is to import them which adds up to a brutal price tag of...

Hello Head-Fi! :)     So about 2 1/2 years ago I bought my first high-end IEM, the Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro. A year prior to this purchase, I had gotten a pair of Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pros. I enjoy the clarity of the Triple.fi's detail in the treble range, however the bass detail...

Hi everyone.   I'm a 17 year-old French student so excuse me for my poor English   I'm thinking about upgrading from my Klipsch S4. I own a Cowon J3 and I sometimes use my Ipod Touch 2G but I don't have a portable amp. I listen to Indie Rock, Progressive Rock, Hard Rock,... (Arctic...

hi there ive been searching for a pair of decent iems for quite awhile now. the only ones that really grab my attention are too expensiv eg. ie8, triplefi 10pro etc so i was just wondering if there were any iems that sound just as good but cost far less? im a casual listener, listen to...

I had a set of Shure E500s that I had re-shelled through Kozee. Sent them off in mid June and just got them September 9th. I listened to them at home through my Darkvoice 336 and was really happy with them. They fit great and had an improved sound from what I remember the stock E500s had.  ...

Hi Guys, Unfortunately my iMetal 590 headphones just died and I'm out looking for suggestions on a new brand of earphones. What I'm looking for is a pair of earphones that are stylish, comfortable, and sound amazing. (Cinema Quality.) My budget is anything around or below the $300 mark...
