Hey all, I was wondering which you would recommend between these two? My regular cans are Grado RS2i's and I love them to little bits I do, so much so I own two Grado T shirt, so you could say I love their sound. The reason I wanna pickup some IEM's is that the RS2i's are not great for...

Desperate for some sage advice here…..   I’m a newbie to the headphone market (that is to say that I’ve typically been wearing a cheap pair of airport gift shop purchased headphones), and now want something more.   I’m a technophile, and after seeing my brother’s pair of Parrot Zik’s, had to...

So, quick story.  I had an LG Tone+ wireless headset.  My cats chewed through the wires that go from the unit to the earbuds.     I said, I won't let this get me down.  Soldered in new wires.  Got thinking.... I have an extra shure headset wire.  Well a little while later, and now I have shure...

Hey everyone,   I know the headphones are kinda old nowadays but I'm still not seeing what all the fuss is about, especially for the price. I came from Klipsh S4s which cost me 1/10th of the price and I don't the shures have a value : quality ratio. The sound is very flat to me and no bass...

So I just got the new FiiO X5 and I reallly love this player! I feel like im not getting all out of it though with just my Klipsch X7i's. I want to upgrade and get a good IEM that pairs well with the FiiO X5. Im not to sure how to search for this so this is why I am making a post here. Hopefully...

Hello Head-Fi headphone forum!   I wish to ask, I had and own many many headphones, amp's- portable and not. in-ear over the ear and more. currently i'm using the Shure se425 for in-ear and senn hd229 with Fiio e11 very happy with it. own also senn px 100ii and had the hd 800 with the lehman...

Hey,   I need some help choosing in between these two headphones. The SE425 and 20i cost $300, and are both in ear. The Se535 are more expensive at $440 @amazon. These headphones will only be used on the go/in my phone, since I have my other over the ear headphones for home use.   I'm torn...

Hi!   I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my from PFE 012. I use them with the grey filters, so they are actually the same as the PFE 112, and I really like the sound signature in general, I'm just looking for the next step up ...   I'm not a bass head, and I like tight, detailed...

Hey all   I listen to all types of rock, mainly listen to stuff like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Mars Volta, Porcpine Tree and 90s alt rock. All in FLAC of course.   From my research it appears the Shure SE425 would be a good choice. I'm in the £50-150 pound bracket...

Just an FYI to people about the amount of noise coming out of your IEM. If I did this experiment incorrectly please let me know because my results are surprising and might serve as a caution regarding IEMs and hearing loss.   I used a decibel meter to measure the dbA (slow) entering the ears...

Playing around with an Shure SE425. Tried the yellow foam tips, the black spongy tips, and now the christmas tree shaped white tips (I'm not going to try the gray rubber tips as those seem like they won't do well). The best sound is from the black spongy tips. Has anyone analyzed this question...

I decide to buy armature for my ipod 4g. I own Brainwavz M2, but sound is very deep and highs are not clear too.(I dont know how to describe it). Meanwhile, Senheiser IE 4 sounds better: cleaner and closer, but only at Huawei (smartphone). On ipod it sounds a bit better that M2. I chose...

I recently lost my pair of SE215's, so I'm looking for something new. Are the custom reshells really worth the extra 150$? Or is there an alternative pair of Universal-Fit IEMs around the price range (<250$) that would be more ideal?  ...

Am looking at the following head phines: Sennheiser ie8 Shure 425 Tdk b200 westone true fit 2 westone ue 2   how do they stack up and what experience have people had??

Hey all : i am sure that this question has been asked a million times but i hope you can all help me! i currently own a pair of klipsch s4s and am happy with them but i am am looking to upgrade to some iem! i am looking of spending up to 250 for something really decent. I have looked at...

I recently got the Shure SE425 IEMs and I've been trying out every pair of tips that were included in the package, to see which would give me the best seal and the best comfort. I like the yellow foam tips a lot, but they're too small, so I ordered S-100 foam tips (all sizes) from Comply's...

Hello,    After a long Head-Fi hiatus I'm back to seek the advice of the experts.    Here is my dilemma, my car is my office, and I really need a headset that allows for clear phone calls in the car.    This sounds simple, but the options seem to be slim to none for a simplistic boom...

Hi everyone.   I am currently using a set of Logitech UE 700s and have been wondering how they compare to the Shure SE425.

I have decided that due to my permanent chronic pain and neck problems, I am going to either use IEMs from now on (as there is no additional weight on the cervical spine), try the Stax portable unit (feather light) or go to speakers (in that order of preference). I would prefer not to go to...

I lost my klipsch x10 which I liked, so I need to get another pair:   - 100-300$, probably not more, probably. - not custom fitted - comfort and isolation are important, I'll be wearing them for hours every day, and they should shut out noises well. The klipsch was good for these; maybe...

Hello, I'm new to this forum but have been reading quite a bit about IEMs for the last few weeks. I have a few in mind, and have pulled the trigger on one set, but want to learn some more and get another set in the very near future. I've based my decision largely on this site, and in large part...

Looking for some recommendations on the best AMP/DAC to use w/ a Sony Walkman-z (NWZ-Z1050B) and a set of Shure SE425s.   Please let me know what you think and thanks in advance!   Cheers, Ryan

I'm looking for a decent IEM for my iPhone 4 to replace current Apple IEM. I know iPhone is not a very good source, but it's the most convenient way to me.   I tried IE6 (& IE80) of my wife, they sound significantly better than Apple IEM. Sennheiser is the most famous brand in China, and...

Which is better in terms of isolation, comfort and build quality?   I am looking to buy one of these. I listen to mainly pop and alternative rock and a little of other genres. Which one will suit me better?   Thanks :)

Hi, this is my first post but I started reading this (wonderful  ) forum months ago... I'm going to buy a new pair of IEMs but I can't decide which one is the best in the 250€ price range... My library is 90% composed of rock, hard rock and metal music. I'm searching for something that...
