Is it?

So, as the title says. Personally, I prefer the Sennheiser cabling for its high-end IEMs. So soft, flexible, and strong! Not to mention zero microphonics!  

Can someone please help me and let me know which IEM would sound closest to the sennheiser hd-25 ? It needs excellent treble but still maintaining  that punchy bass sound which doesn't bleed into the midrange.. i recently bought the shure se535 and am very dissapointed with those with how muddy...

If it will make quite a difference, I will take the plunge. Recommendations/suggestions? Any good amp at 150 (or less) price tag? Thank you in advance.

I am looking for a full upgrade of the pfe112 iem that i am using right now. It sounded quite nice to me at first but now I want more. Pfe112 to my ears: Bass: bass light, i definitely want more bass in my music. Tight bass and not bloated bass will be nice. Mids: sounded great at first but...

Hi, Unfortunately, I managed to leave my bag on a train, taking my beloved IE7s with it. Now, I loved those earphones, but occasionally found the highs to be fatiguing and/or harsh. Has anyone else found this? If so, is there an IEM that can offer absolutely everything the IE7 offers (being...

What would be the best universal IEM under ~$500.00.   I listen to Pop, Dance, Hip-Hop, Rap, Techno, Club, Dance and a bit of other genres.   I'm looking at the SM3's, GR10's, SE535's, DBA-02's + possibly another IEM for that price..?   What do you guys think?

specifically this one http://www.amazon.com/Shure-CBL-M--K-Adapter-Remote/dp/B0046HJLJO/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1295649199&sr=8-13   My question is about that I seem to be having a noticeable drop in sq (harsh treble) when using this compared to the cables that came with the phones.  ...

When I first joined Head-fi i posted a lot here and in the portable sources forum.   I realized at the time that I was obsessing more over the hardware than the music, so i made a decision to take the two pairs i liked most at the time Ety er4p and Shure E4's and they would be my phones...

So I had the Shure 535 but had fitting issues with it so I returned it for the westone um3x which fits great but the sound isolation is not as good as the 535s. I mainly use them on my commute on the train and at work when there's a lot of chatter I want to drown out. With the um3x the rumble...

Hi guys, a new member here.   I currently own a pair of UE Triple Fi 10's and use to own the SHURE SE310's.. I tried out my friends SHURE SE535's and i seem to HATE the Shure sound signature..   I feel that everytime i listen to Shure IEM's, i feel that i'm listening to music through a...

Hi   I've been reading a LOT of reviews recently and several times I've been close to placing an order, but each time I am getting close to buying, I find a review or a comment linking some other thread with some different opinions on that pair, advising someone to buy something else. So...

So I got the new iPod nano today and I must say, it is a very good player. I think this actually might be the best apple player I have ever heard. it has a very neutral sound compared to the others. Right now I only have this and the iPad to compare and I definitely like the nano a lot more in...

  What do you really need?   With the advent of the iPhone and other smartphones, many of us have found ourselves merging the roles of portable music players and phones. Many of these new devices on the market have improved their sound quality substantially. When I was initially buying my...

So i purchased the Shure535 and the sound is great but the left earphone irrates my ear while the right is fine. I can return the headphone either for cash or for another pair of headphones. The question is which one should I go for? I don't have any spare earphones at the moment.   I was...

Hi, i am looking for a portable headphone amp for my shureSE535 (using with Cowon S9)  price limit is +-800 Dolars. Or would it be better to get new player? (Something like hifiman hm-801) Thanks :)

Hi,   I've been using Shure SE530s with custom sleeves for a while now and loved them and recently had them replaced with the 535s after the 530s broke.  I use an iPhone 4 now and have been satisfied with the audio quality as most of my music is lossless ripped from the original CDs. ...

Hello everyone,    It would be great if you'd help me choose an amp which works best with my current headphone collection. To make things easier I'll just list down everything.   Headphones I own: HD558 SRH750DJ   IEMs: Westone UM3X SE535 or IE8 (I'll be getting either soon)...

Hello, this is my first post here and im a newb in the sound segment.   So with my primary combo i can hear som hissing and iv'e head that you can get rid of it by adding a normal amp, so im thinking of buying the V-CAN which is easliy availabe in my country (Sweden). I know it´s pretty...

Hello folks,   I have been using the Sennheiser CX300 until it died and then the Q-Jays, but although the Q-Jays is clean, pure and precise, and in fact has a very 'flat' response, I found it wanting, in terms of the bass. The sound reminds me of those 'full range' type speakers with single...

The westone 4 I think were going to be 449. Which do you guys think

1). Is the CK100 actually discontinued? I can't read chinese, but it's still listed on the hong kong Audio Technica official website.   2). Are the three drivers split 2x bass and 1x treble like the Shure SE535, or 1x bass 1x mid and 1x treble like the Westone 3?   3). Do they sound like...

Hi, I've been using shure se535s with custom sleeves with my iPhone 4 for a while and love them. However, I find the bass to be lacking a bit and was thinking about buying an amp in an attempt to add more 'oomph' to the sound. I then thought about simply buying bass heavy headphones instead but...

Guys and gals, I need help! My customs broke (FreQs)   I want a pair of IEM that is pretty neutral, great in all departments (bass, mid, highs)... not looking for customs, cause they are too expensive right now... but IEM price range is anything under 300 - 400$? (unless there are customs...
