I have had certain issues with in ear earphones. My ears begin to hurt after a while of using an in ear earphone. I have tried several earphones and all are the same. So I decided to move to over ear headphones. Are there better quality (under $100) in ear earphones  that do not hurt my ear...

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a pair and cannot decide...   Just got my wife a pair of 215's and I was highly impressed. Figured I'd go and get myself my own pair.    215's sound great but was going to opt for the LTD version with enhanced bass BUT was debating whether the 315's were...

Hello,   I'm looking for a pair of IEMs to help me sleep.  I'm an extremely light sleeper and it's hard for me to go to sleep if I can hear ANYTHING.   Note that sound quality is not a huge factor here, I will be essentially just be using them to play brown noise via the Simplynoise app on...

Not sure if anyone has posted this on the Beats thread(s), but this video does a pretty great summary of Beats and why they're so successful. Most of this stuff pretty much has been said before countless times already, but this is a pretty good video to show any friends that may not know a lot...

So the short version of my issue is audio bleed. We converted our sound system at my church to digital. My hearing is a bit "special" for lack of a better term in that when I hear a song, I'm able to come up with harmonies off the top of my head. My problem has always been I'm hearing all the...

Hey all, It's been a while since I've been in a main thread or started a main thread, but I've been very active with PM's for quite a while and I'm always around daily still. Feel free to continue to PM me everyone. Always a pleasure.   I recently came across an opportunity to play around...

Not sure on the rules about products that haven't been released yet (its been awhile since I've posted here), and I'm in no way directly affiliated with this, but I thought you guys might be interested.   Basically its a Bluetooth headset that doubles as a binaural audio recorder. Here's a...

I'm a freelance graphic designer so I tend to spend long hours in front of a computer listening to music when I'm working. When I'm out and about I have a set of Shure SE215 IEMs that are perfect for me - they have clear mids and treble with no fatigue or sibilance, with punchy and impactful...

i started doing a bit of jogging. but every earphones i’ve used kept falling out of my ears when i jog. what can you recommend?

I've had my eye on the Etymotic hf5 for a while now. In the past the most neutral cans I've owned and adored were grado 225i and mee a161. I'm just a little concerned about the lack of bass in the hf5's or is that only bass heads complaining. The 225 always had that not enough bass in reviews...

Time goes by but I never stop visiting head-fi. Years before I signed up and years after not having logged in, I still visit. But today, I'm in eager need of all your help.   The reason I call my title oddly specific is because I'm looking for IEMs only with ability to replace the cord with -...

Hey all, Got the shure 750dj and wanted smaller ones so i got the ath-ckx915 sonic feul, but the sound is insufficient , so i wondered if i should buy diff headphones (like shure se215) or keep the ath ones and get an amp, if so, what portable amp? (mainly listening from iPhone5).

I'm looking to spend about $60 and I'd really prefer if they have a button on the cord for skipping tracks. It's okay if the inline volume controls don't work. I'll be using a Galaxy S3. I mainly listen to house/EDM with a little bit of rap/hip-hop in between. So I'm definitely looking for...

I recently purchased a pair of Shure SE215 since i heard that they were highly recommended. Before i purchased the shures, i was coming from a Klipsch S4i. I honestly think that the sound quality of the klipsch is better than the shures. The 215's sound flat imo. I was wondering if there are any...

Hey guys, I'm about to buy my first pair of IEMs and I just want to make sure I'm making the right choice. I've had a pair of DT990s with modi/magni and an E07K for a while so I'm used to a bassy sound signature, obviously the sound is going to be different but that's the only comparison I...

Can any one recommend good headphones that you use for sleep, around $100. (Extra details) I can only sleep on my stomach with my head facing towards my right or left and my ear on the mattress. My favorite in ear headphones (ckm500) stick out too much and they hurt my ears. Only using one...

SO I'm looking for a new pair of IEM's after my Shure SE215's died on me after 2 years. I've been searching the forum, and most of the products recommended have either been discontinued or way too expensive up north. I would like to keep it under 200 but have some leeway if it is really worth...

Hello everyone! I am currently looking for some in-ear headphones with some good bass to play some dubstep or trap. My budget is around 200€ and 275$ and they'll have to be available in Denmark (Europe). And of course they'll also have to play other genres pretty smooth too:) Thanks in advance!:)

Hello again.  It's been a while since I've posted anything here, but I've stumbled upon something special enough that I figured I should spread the word about this hidden gem I found a few weeks ago.   So here I was, in need of a new portable earphone.  Last year I went off a few reviews here...

Hi,   I currently own a pair of HD-650's and Shure SE215's. My main source will be a MacBook Pro with a Dragonfly 1.2 DAC.   I'm due to go traveling doing the digital nomad lifestyle, everything I own in a 40lt carry on. The HD-650's are to big to take unfortunately and being open back are...

I'm sure someone out there has reviewed these, but I can't seem to find any. Can anyone tell me what they think of the Penon IEMs? I've just been wondering about that for a while and was hoping someone would clear it up. I'm not buying anything from Penon right now so perhaps some impressions...

Hi All,   I own a pair of Hifiman RE-0 and a pair of Shure SE215 earphones/IEMs. Of the two I prefer the sound signature of the Shure's. Can anyone suggest a fullsize headphone with an equivalent signature to the SE215's. IMO this means a more fullish bass (not overwhelming) and forward mids...

I used the Klipsch S4I's for about 2 years before I sat on them in my car by accident and my knife smashed one of the buds, so I'm looking to buy another pair of in-ears   Currently looking at:   S4I's Shure SE215 Ostry KC06     Any others I should review too or is that a good 3 to...

Hello guys,   I'm trying to decide between these three IEMs, based on ljokerl's Multi-IEM monitor review and the price/availability of the models in Canada.   1. JVC FXD80 - 80$ including shipping 2. JVC FXT90 - 77.30$ including shipping 3. RHA MA750i - 130$ free shipping   This is what...

Hi All   First post here!  The ear bud broke off my SE215 earphones recently after about two years which is not too bad,  I probably should have been a bit more careful with them as the plastic on these is quite hard and therefore brittle.   I'm not too keen on rushing out and spending 100+...
