Hey there, I'm a newbie in head-fi (1st post/thread/activity here!), and I would like to receive some input regarding high-end universal IEM.   First of all, I'm not a hardcore audiophile, nor am I very knowledgeable about IEMs in general, I'm just a casual listener who wants to step up and...

I listen to pretty much every genre except rap not so much. Need something that'll handle hardcore to metal to rock to electronic etc. I don't know much about headphones / earphones so I need help. My budget is 100 dollars. My choices so far have been Sol HD amps which I'm able to get for...

My Shure E4 (paid $180) served me well for six years but have finally bit the dust.  If I could have replaced the cabling they would still be a fantastic piece of kit; with this in mind detachable cables are a strong selling point to me but not a requirement.  They are the only IEM I have...

Hello to all, For years I had the Sennheiser CT-270 IEMs. I used them for listening movies and music and their sound was very good for their price. A month ago I decided to upgrade my sound a bit, with Shure SE215. I bought them from EbayUK (UK seller).I have practice their fit in my ears...

It was about two years ago when I first listened to the Klipsch S4 Image headphones.  Before that, I had only ever listened to the crappy Apple iPod white earbuds.  Listening to the Klipsch S4's completely blew my mind, I had no idea what I was missing.   Fast forward two years later I have...

I'm planning on getting my mom some IE headphones for christmas but i know absolutely NOTHING about any IE brands or quality. ill be buying them off ebay(probably) so any names or brands under 100$ would be nice. She listens to soft rock, sometimes greenday, and what else im not sure, shes 40 so...

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...

Recently I want to buy a new IEM, just wondering which one will provide good sound quality ( stage, clear,bass,space).     UE 600, shure 215, nu force 700 which one should I choose??    I am using Sony MRD-G45LP now, hope UE 600, shure 215, nu force 700 can provide more sound quality...

Hi All.  Had a good look round but thought it would be better to start my own thread and see what responses I get.   Current using using my portable media via my Nano Ipod while at the Gym and my Samsung Galaxy S2 while getting from A to B, usually walking or on the bus or sitting at my desk...

Right now I'm looking for a set of decent IEM's that I can wear everywhere.  The headphones I currently use is my V-Moda Crossfade LP paired with my Fiio E6.   I MOSTLY listen to Hip-Hop.  Occasionally I like to listen to Alternative Rock, Techno/Dubstep, and only SOME iTunes top 20.  I'm...

Thinking of going to get one of this BA,which is better SQ. Shure215 vs Sony XBA1 vs Meelec A161P

I already have the Shure SE215, and I really like the punchy bass on those. However, I want to upgrade, I recently bought the Grado GR10, love it for instrumental, but it lacks to much bass.. I really love the punchy bass and an overall good sound balance. which one do you recommend me??

i have 85$ on amazon, and am looking for decent IEM's since my shure se215's are giving me problems(have gone through 2 extra cables so far,those furu tech cables from ebay, in about 1-2 months each, and idk if i should spend 85$ on a cable or new headphones). From what ive read, the best for my...

Hey Guys, So as the title explains I'm looking to purchase a new IEM, I've had to make do with a bunch of ****ty earphones for awhile now and I'm looking to upgrade. I'm not an expert when it comes to IEM's but I do love my music and it's something that's becoming a bigger part of my life now...

I'm looking for a pair of IEMs where I can listen to any piece of music without that annoying hissing screech that I get from basically every pair of IEMs I get. My budget is less than $200, and preferably something I can find in Canada for a good price, though I am going to the United States...

Hi everyone,  Fresh start here at Head-Fi; seems like a great community here.   I've been on a little hunt for some in-ear phones for the past couple of days and have come across quite a few suggestions so I thought I would bring my search to Head-fi to see what you guys have to say...

Hi! I'm looking to pick up a pair of decent sounding headphones, but i'm having trouble deciding which ones to buy. I'm gonna use them everyday and in public places like high school and my gym, so it is very important that they are both durable and little sound isolating! I'm listening to...

Hulk crush puny heaadphones, no seriously!   I literally use my iems ALL DAY, or at least most of it. I find oems make my neck hurt after 2 hours.    Headphone history (not including $4!7 ones)  Xears had good sound and ok for comfort but broke really quickly - 2 months.  Sony...

Hey, I'm looking to buy some new full size over the ear headphones, i like nice punchy well composed bass that's not overwhelming but definitely there and I also want very clear mids and crisp highs (these are in order of priority). I'm currently looking at the klipsch image ones, beyerdynamic...

Hi! First of all, hello everybody. This is my first post in these forums.   I used to have a sennheiser px200, which weren't half bad, but not really suited for long listening sessions (because they really pressed on my ears) and, didn't isolate too much outside noise.   I fly...

Just wondering if there are any durability changes from the image s4i first generation? How is its overall compared to the image s4i rugged. I might buy one, but don't want it to collapse in a year.:cool:

Hi all,   I previously bought SE215 IEMs and ended up returning them because they didn't work well for me.  Now, I'm looking to purchase over the ear headphones that do not require an amp.  Listed below is what I what in the headphones:   *Portable *Sound lsolation (this is important)...
