I just got a pair of Shure SE215's and I'm in love.  Now i'm looking for anything that will help out the sound quality. I was wondering if I bought a cheap headphone amplifier, like the FiiO E6, would it change the sound quality at all? Here's my current setup: Ipod Classic>(FiiO E6 would go...

Hello all, I've been an avid reader of head-fi for a while but this is my first post. So the headphone port on my desktop broke and the headphone out port on my speakers introduces all sorts of hissing. I am looking for a portable USB DAC/headphone amp that I could use with my desktop or...

Hey everyone! I'm not sure what type of headphones to buy. I currently use JVC HA-FX67 as my earbuds and Logitech Z623's as computer speakers. I also have a pair of Woodees IESW200B's in my drawer. Should I use those instead of the JVC's? I'm not good at telling which is better. It seems that...

Im considering buying my first pair of (hopefully) good sounding and insolating IEM. However, Im dont know that much about what is good and what is not..    Im primarily going to use them with my iPhone without external amp (as dont have such), so they need to pretty easy driven I guess -...

I'm sure this topic is beat to death, but I'm very particular with my music.  I want something well balanced more leaning on the bass side.  Right now i have some klipsch s4's in my ear but i've been reading around they aren't the best for the price range and they seem a bit flimsy to me.  I...

I'm currently using a Sansa clip+ and FiiO E11, and looking to upgrade from my Brainwavz M4s, I've set a budget of £100 ($160) but I can't make a decision and would like some opinions, my music preferences are varied, I listen to just about everything except rock/metal, emphasis on vocal...

Long time lurker---picked up lots of good info----here's my current situation     I am looking for a new set of IEM'S:   a little more background---   I have 4 currently working sets of IEM'S:   Panasonic HJE 900 Shure 215 VSonic GR06 Klispch S4     I love the...

I'm looking for a pair of in ears that are good for (Progressive) House, Dance, Electric, and some Dubstep. Needless to say I'm looking for something with nice bass (something that I can actually feel), but aside from that I don't know much about what to look for in a head phone. I'm currently...

Hi,  As the title suggest, i'll appreciate a couple of comparisons between the 3 models sated above. Well, my preference and priority gravitates towards bass and accurate detailing. Accurate detailing is basically a greater emphasis on every detail of the music. (e.g, drum beats at the...

Just ordered the new Fireye HD will post pics and first impressions as soon as it arrives   Cant find much of a mention apart from a short reference to a prototype   Anybody already have one ?   Anybody want one ?

Hey guys,    Im looking for an IEM with great bass. Im new so any help would really be appreciated. Im not exactly sure if Monster Beats by Dr. Dre is actually good bass or not, but I want something with as much power and punch as the Beats. I want an IEM that has good sound quality with the...

Hello Head-Fi,   Long time lurker here who finally decided to register.  I recently picked up a Iphone and did away with my Ipod Classic.  So here I am – looking for a pair of headphones with a few requirements.   I’m a home-theater enthusiast.   When I listen to music I have a pair of...

So I was going to add this to the ATH-CKM500 thread, but that really quickly degraded into an sub $200 IEM pissing match.    I am looking for a good pair of IEM's for use with my 6th Gen iPod Nano and my 5th gen Rockboxed iPod. My Criteria are as follows;   Must be able to work out with...

Some background: So after a few weeks of researching IEM's under $100, I got a great deal on the Shure SE215's. They fit me well, and the noise cancellation is amazing, however, I am not impressed with the sound so far. Their bass is impressive (as many of the reviews have stated here) but that...

I have 2 options for my portable setup The first one is dap Rocoo BA with 16gb micro sd card and Shure SE215 I'll have to stick with entry level iem SE215...   The second one is dap Sansa Clip+ 8gb and IE80 or SE535 I'll have to sell my Rocoo BA to buy less expensive dap and a high-end...

Hi,   Sorry for the forum mismatch.   I need a pair of portable headphones. I want to have enough bass to feel in the dubstep songs, yet I also want intimate, forward and pronounced, non veiled mids for Eminem and Macklmore songs. With these acquired, I'm guessing that the headphones would...

I've made a few posts on purchasing my second pair of headphones, and me being as indecisive as ever on purchasing anything, I think I might buy the hd 668b superlux's, because they seem to be the best bang for buck. Though I've read that they need an amp. please give me some clarification if...

Okay, so i've decided to try and get some nice and proper IEMS to replace my PL30's. I love them to death, but i feel that i could get something with much better audio quality. As although the PL30's sound sensational, they sound like a 50 dollar IEM. I kinda want something better. So heres a...

Okay I hate to ask such a vague question but I am really overwhelmed by the number of products on the market. Here is what I am looking for. I fly an ultralight aircraft and i really like being able to listen to music when I fly. I wear ear muffs (part of the helmet) to muffle out the noise of...

Hi,     I'd be really grateful if anyone could advise not on specific models but on the general sound signature which is likely to suit my situation. I hope that you will forgive that although I have a rough and ready audio knowledge, I'm aware I lack the technical expertise of posters...

Does anyone know if upgrading the cable for the shure 215 is a good idea, I found that Null Audio has the Lune series cable upgrade for all the shure iem. http://www.null-audio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=219 Any idea if they would sounds better than the 315...

Greetings, I've been a member of this forum for quite a while but rarely contribute.  Until recently I've been more of a vinyl guy and spend my time in those forums.  I'm in the military and have a deployment to Afghanistan coming up which has forced me to get into pc audio and headphones.  I...

So I've been through a couple pairs of ear buds the past year, my first being etymotic mc5's and then nuforce ne 700x. I loved the etymotics but I failed to take care of them and the wire ended up falling apart. I liked the nuforce's a lot too, but they seemed extremely frail, and eventually one...

Hi guys, I'm sorry if this was suppose to go into one specify thread but I couldn't find it. I'm looking for an IEM under $100. My focus is on mid and high, however I do wish for some bass. I was amazed by Re0 reviews, but never got around to buying it. Is it still worth buying in 2012? ...
