Hey Head-Fi   I'm 19 and currently looking at investing in some Custom IEMs   I'm really looking closely at Cosmic ears as they have a great lineup with good build quality but I'm having some trouble deciding between the BA2 and BA3. With a few little personal customisations these would come...

Hi any feedback on these iems? Which is better? Any other suggestions? Preferably detachable cables.. Im a little bit basshead and really like good isolation.. Thanks!

Hi all,   this is my first thread at this forum, but I´ve been here now and then the last couple of years, though last week or two I almost moved in! :P   The thing is, Im a musician, I like good quality, though Im not an Audiophile, but of course wouldn't matter to become one in the future...

Hello, I what to buy my first pair of over ear headphones. I decided to get over ear headphones because I kept on breaking in ear headphones. I went through 2 pairs of AKG K350 one pair of UE 600, one pair of Shure 215, and one pair of beats tours in a year. I have no idea what to buy. I want to...

Hello, I am currently live in UK where it's nearly impossible to get the limited edition, so I am thinking about buying the SE215 normal edition in black colour. I wonder are they noticeably different between the normal and the blue edition? Is it worth getting the normal edition instead of the...

Hi, I am new to this forum and to the audiophile world. I am planning to buy an IEM for my daily use, so I was browsing through the IEM reviews. I came across some terms like recessed mids, larger soundstage, darker, brighter etc. How are these measured? In may case, when I listen to a new...

So I stumbled on some extra cash about $230 (class action settlement and a few amazon gift cards) I use the KOSS KDX200 fo everyday use and I love those things. After searching for my perfect pair of workout / running (which i found jaybird sportsband and the ue200) and running through 11...

I am looking for a hugely comfortable, nicely isolating, a little bassy and as smooth as a sub 100 dollar iem could get I have been weighing up the shure se215 as my next iem, i did have re-0 by hifiman and loved them, but they were too sparkly in treble and uncomfortable as hell. I will...

So I am looking for a good sounding headphone in the $100 range. I saw that there is a new SE215 (blue edition) which seems to be a slight improvement over the current SE215 modles. The Etymotic HF5 also caught my eye as many people on these forums were recommending it and it is also currently...

Alrighty, so recently I've been travelling up and down the coast a bit to get to school, and my bag is getting rather full with all of my books along with a laptop. Which has started to force me to leave my godly ATH-M50s at home as they are too bulky to just fit into my bag.    So, I need a...

I want to take off the large foam black ones, but 1 of them is stuck. I got the right 1 out but the left is stuck. Any optimal way to get them out? Im just twisting and pulling a bit.

Trying to decide on the best pair of earbuds in the $99-$199 range (tentatively) I currently own the Klipsch S4i rugged and I love them however I would like to take it up a notch or two and really "feel the music" (I listen to a WIDE ranch of music primarily rock,alt rock, classic rock, hit...

I'm considering a set of Iem for workout ~100$ and I'm looking at: sennheiser ocx685i sennheiser cx680 sennheiser cx980(I own it but it's very hard to get a seal wih silicone because with foamy and when I became sweat the foam fell apart!)  sennheiser ocx880 sony xb90ex(I own it but...

So over Christmas, one of my buddies gave me a $100 gift card. I wasn't sure what I was going to spend it on, but I finally decided I wanted to get a decent pair of iems. I was just wondering if I would be better off buying a pair of $40-60 dollar ones like the gr06 or am90's along with one of...

Hey guys,   I want to get a pair of earbuds around $100. I see SE215 and the new ATH-CKS99 are pretty decent in reviews. I am wondering what suggestions you guys can give? By the way, can someone comment how the CKS99's bass compared to Bose earbuds? I hated the Bose bass, it is like Dr.Dre...

Hi there, I am looking for some durable iems for 70-100$. I have been looking into Klipsch image x10's but I don't know if they are durable enough, but they seem like a good choice for the price range. I've had the ue500's and I really liked their sound but the right driver stopped...

Hello to all. I read reviews here regularly and am always impressed with the resident expertise here. I would very, very much appreciate your thoughts on helping me find "just the right" IEM. I own about five pairs - I like the search - and just recently rediscovered my Nu-Force NE-6s. I hadn't...

Hi forum! I'm searching for a good pair of IEMs to hear music on the go. My source will be a Nexus 4, or in some extreme case a Sansa Clip Zip. I listen to fusion, various genres of metal and jazz and I really like to have a wide range of frequency response (for a max 100€ IEMs of course)...

So ive been looking around for new in ear's since my old pair broke.   I had the Sennheiser CX 400 II precision and thought they delivered pretty well.   Now im a pretty big fan of bass, but i do also value clear mids, highs and no distortion at higher volumes.    Ive seen a couple...

About to make a purchase on amazon: Should I get the UETF10 or SE215 and why?

I'm looking for a good pair of IEMs with a relatively flat frequency response for about $100, and the Shure 215 seems to fit the bill. However, I would much prefer a j-cord to a y-cord, and since the 215 have a detachable cord I was wondering if I could get a custom cable that would be a j-cord...

Hey folks!     I need help from you all.  I am looking for some decent (not top end, have over the ear for top end audio at home) in-ear phones for when I am on my bike.  I think I would need the around the ear configuration, as they need to stay on while I put my helmet on, or at least very...
