Owned the triple fi for a year, and I recently lost them. I was so pissed I was out of the head-fi community for a while but not I really can't stand average 10 dollar earphones anymore, I'm back to head-fi now :)   My first thought was to get an upgrade from TF10. I have done my research...

HELLO~~~~ HeAd Fi~~ I'm trying to get myself some really good high end Universal IEMs. I just don't feel like doing custom right now since my last JH-16 gave me a really hard time with fit issues.    I've owned/borrowed  a few IEMs in my until today and here's my ranking for SOUND...

Hi all,    So, I'm on the market for a new set of headphones given I just lost my IE 8s :(  And I thought I would ask people for suggestions of what to look at.     I loved my Shure 535's becasue they were good with the mids, not to heavy on the base and sounded great for Jazz, talk...

Hello guys.   last month, I pull the trigger and bought the Viper 6 in-ear monitor earphones from Apollo Audio Lab via their official online store www.apolloaudiolab.com , Their post purchase communication and shipping arrangments were fantastic. Parcel was delivered right to my doorstep by...

So! I've been running with a pair of Shure SE535 LTDs for a couple of years now (I actually have 2 pairs of 535s. Long story) and I've been really happy with the the clarity and the sound signature in general I guess. I tried out a universal pair of JH16 Pros at Jaben Audio and was blown away by...

After trying both the UE900 and Shure SE535 I'm yet to be satisfied searching for a fun universal IEM. The PS500 has a big fun factor, great in rendering vocals ( I use reversed bowls) and in an IEM that is what I want. Balance is for quite listening time, energy and fun factor is where it is at...

Have you hoped that your someday your tf10 is available in more fit friendly shell as you have been constantly annoyed by its fit issues?    Or are you holding on to a universal with damaged pins sockets or shell, could not do anything with it because of the concern that high cost of...

Greetings All,   First time poster here, but I've read through a number of threads regarding various IEM's.  Nevertheless, I'm hopeful some head-fi 'experts' can chime in and make a recommendation for me.   Our church worship team is about to move to Aviom's and we're all purchasing our...

Other than the Unique Miracle Merlins, what other universal and or custom IEM's out there have a hybrid Dynamic and Balanced setup?   Thanks!

Hey guys,  I am thinking about upgrading from Shure SE535. I listen to a lot of classical and opera. I need an IEM with good soundstage and seperation. the reason I don't want to venture to customs is because: 1- they seem quite expensive 2- the added costs of impressions and shipping...

does anyone know if shure or westone is gonna release any new headphone to replace their 535 or 4r this year as both of the headphones have been out for almost three years. I'm thinking to buy one of the headphone but if they are gonna release a new one i would like to wait instead. thanks 

I snapped off the nozzle. :-( Anyone know if they can be sent back to Shure for repair?

Hi everyone!   I have been using my ES10 / ES535 for commute with my Iphone 6 for a while now and have always wanted to experiment adding an external amp to see if there would be a significant improvement in sound quality. Having said that, I must confess that I use Spotify (rnb / pop etc) for...

Hey All,   Just curious if anyone has any advice on fixing some broken IEMs. I've got a pair of Shure 530s that no longer play any sounds. First one ear died, then the other. Not sure what the issue is. They're no longer under warranty. I loved the sound I got from these and would like it if...

Hi Forum,   I'm looking to buy a new pair of IEMs after my Shure 530s gave out.   My first 530s cables cracked, exposing the copper wire underneath, and my (freely replaced) second pair is starting to break too (the  right earpiece cuts in and out). Unfortunately, I'm past the 2-year...

Hey Everyone,    I really need some advice im a Drummer and I've decided to upgrade my I.E.M's  im torn between Shure E535s and Westone 4 I play live every week and need something that I can hear the all the instruments clearly especially the bass ! Please help has anyone experience with...

The sound is jumping in and out on the left channel and it's the cable that is beginning to get bad. It's the third one when using Shure in-ears and the second one on these particular phones. Is there anyway i can fix it? I am getting tired of Shure bad quality cables.

I had my ear forms made on May 2nd. They were finished and sent to me by June 10th. Well over a month to hav custom sleeves made for my shure 535.  and - they didnt fit, they hade made them too big....   .. So, last week, I traveled to my ear specialist again, got new forms. We will try to...

  Sorry for the n00b post.  I've seen a few threads similar to mine, but my tastes vary a little from other users.   I've had the Shure se530's and 535's for 5 years now.  They've been amazing, truly stunning for electronic music, but I'm ready to upgrade to big boy headphones.  Looking...

Dear all,   I have recently purchased the Ultimate Ears Triple-Fi 10 IEM's including a pair of custom fit sleeves. The Triple-Fi's don't realy suit my hearing 'taste' and therefore I would like to change them for another pair. I would however like to keep using the custom tips without...

There seem to be a good few people doing the swapping now, I think it's time to see what people favour.

so i've been into headphones since i was a tyke. 36 now.  i generally listen to IEMs (shure 215,535) but i also love my Grado RS 1s and my SR80s. i use a pono as my source 50% of the time and the other 50% i use a Little Dot MK3 tube headphone amp. i'm looking to start the process of researching...

Hi all   I want to buy a IEM, and I want to try it before I buy it. However, I really don't know where I can do that in USA.    Currently, I am watching Westone 4r, um3x, Grado gr10 and Shure 535. Because of their high prices, I don't really want to buy the wrong one. (I don't think I...

Title says it all. My Shures just died (crappy cables) and I'd like to replace them with something a little less bright and with replaceable cables. My main concern is the quality of vocals as well as good isolation. I'm going with universals because I can't afford the really good customs...

Hello,   I'm looking to purchase a new pair of earphones as I managed to damage the cord on my old ones (CX-300). After searching the forums, the two IEM's that keep popping up are the Westone 4R and the Shure SE535 but from what I've been reading they can both benefit from being amped for...
