Hi, I live in Canada and it gets really cold at times, to the point where my IEM's cables break...I've had 2 pairs of Shure e2c, 2 JBL Reference 220 and now again my Apple IEM just broke... So I'm looking for a new pair of IEM to replace them. I haven't been around in while so I'll need an...

I've had my trusty E2C's since 2007 and the cable had cracked numerous times. I've always sent them back to get them repaired. Since my warranty has expired I've always treated my buds well, trying to avoid to stress the cable too much. But finally the isolation has cracked on the part that goes...

  Hello, I've been on the lookout for a good pair of earbuds/IEMS that would be enjoyable to use both at home and while on the go (walking places or taking public transportation). I've been very interested in audiophile-level sound lately (yes, this would be my point of entry), and the Yuin PK1...

Got my M6s yesterday to replace my E2Cs and liking them a lot. However, I have one concern. The right earpiece always crackles whilst I'm adjusting them, it's kind of annoying and the left one doesn't do it, is this normal? It's loud and I can hear it crinkle when changing the tips, it doesn't...

Been using these for about two weeks now and they sound great I want to try different tips to hear the difference. What are some good tips to use for the xcapes i hve heard that the Monster SuperTips, Shure E2c and shure/comply foams are good but are there any other good ones. I can get the...

Still a noob...but I've been noticing that I always monkey with EQ'ing now that I have decent IEM's. I like to get the best out of whatever song I'm listening to. I listen to many genre's and skip around. Never usually listen to the whole album.   I'll EQ it for the Axel F. theme...then I...

Hi. Anyone know if it's possible to buy a single IE8 headphone? I've managed to snap the stem that goes into the ear off one of them. Really annoyed at myself as I did exactly the same thing with a pair of SE530's a couple of years ago. Both were done trying to remove Comply tips which had...

Looking to replace my Shure E2C IEMs; they're on their way out as the plastic is fraying and exposing the copper wiring inside - which is starting to split because of that. I'm by no means an audiophile. I picked them up about 4 years ago because they were on Amazon for a cheap price, (£34 as...

Had to start it, just absolutely blown away by the awesomeness of these earphones! Using Shure E2C flex tips, just wow, cant explain the awesomeness! Leona Lewis is fantastic on these, great mix of highs, bass and mids in most tracks! edit: for anyone that reads this first post, i have...

What's up guys. So I want to replace my stock ipod headphones. I want them to be comfortable, sound isolating and under $100. I was originally thinking Shure e2c, but I don't think I like their bulkiness and the behind-the-ear design, so now I'm thinking ETYMOTIC ER6i ER-6i Isolators...

Just had an instant urge to try this mod after reading about it and after some ham-handed soldering with questionable results i managed to create a cable with two 75 ohm metal film resistors in place on the left and right channel. After a quick test everything seems to be connected fine, i've...

Hello, I'm new to this forum and am not really knowledgeable about audio ^^;;.   I'm just looking for earphones under $50 and from most of the things I've read on this forum the three most popular are the Creative EP 630, Shure E2C's, and Sennheiser CX300.   Which one should I get from...

The headphones I regretted the most was the skullcandy skullcrusher. I bought them for 100cad from the source.ca It broke after 5 months, the driver stopped working for some weird reason.. I should have bought a decent dac but that was before I joined head-fi. : frown::f rown:

Will provide more info when I'm not just on my phone. I know the Shure's are nor stellar compared to the high offerings, but compared to the beats they sound flipping amazing. The beats tour do make the "Top 40" sound pretty nice I'll admit and honestly I didn't mind the sound with the right...

I'm looking for a good pair of IEMs but the biggest problem for me is actually finding them available in my country. Of course, I could always buy them online, but I try to avoid that for personal reasons. So my search for a good set of phones has given me two IEMs of the same brand, the SCL2...

This is a story of my noobish stumblings through the world of better sound, fitment and headphones in general.   Once upon a time, I bought a Creative Zen MicroPhoto 8GB and realized my stock buds sucked.  I read review upon review and decided I should buy the Sennheiser PX-100 headphones...

Hi all, This is my first post so please be nice !   I currently own a set of Grado SR80i (which I love) and use when i'm indoors, as well as a set of Shure e2C headphones which I have owned for about 7 years and have finally broken.   Now, I need to upgrade the Shures, to say they are...

Hi, I'm looking for a great IEM for electronica, house, and dance music. Really something that will have full sounding bass with powerful mids and crisp his. I am willing to spend $150 and was thinking of getting UE triplefi 10s because a local store has them for $150 and I've heard rave...

AS the title suggests I am looking for an upgrade to these IEMs. I have previously used Shure SE310, E2c and have heard the SE530 IEMs. I had 2 pairs of Nu-Force Ne-8 IEMs which unfortunately broke. I liked the SE530 IEMs but felt I couldnt justify the extra cost fo these IEMs over the NE-8. I...

Firstly, great website here and hope you guys can lend me a hand.   The wire insulation on my 2 year old Shure E2Cs has finally started cracking and coming away over the ears so I'm looking for some decent replacement IEMs. I am happy with the sound quality of the E2Cs but would prefer a...

Hey, can anyone tell if these Shure e2c's are real or not?  I bought them used off of ebay and I don't have much experience so I don't know.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.       

So I don't really know that much about headphones but after a couple experiences with legitimately noise-isolating and decent sounding buds, I want a respectable pair.  I have a budget of about $50 or maybe more and I would prefer noise isolating IEMs but wouldn't mind a decent pair of over-ear...

Hello there, I'm quite new to this forum although I lurked quite a bit looking for info on Grado GR8's, Westones and now headphone amps. Please bear with me as this is a pretty long post; I want to give a good idea of my situation. I understand there are many threads that compare amps w/ DACs...

I like my new ME 11+ iems, but the supplied tips do not give a good seal, they are too pliable and do not provide a good seal. I have had Shure headphones, the e2c and a grey pair (don't remember the model #).  Anyway, I like  I guess you would call them the olive grey tips of the shures.  Now I...

I don't have a lot of experience with IEMs... I have only owned the Shure E2c, se310, and currently the se530.   Everyone of those IEMs has sounded very thin and weak to me. The se530s are supposed to have the best bass response of them all, and they still, to my ears, sound weak in the bass...
