I got home from work today, and I saw an Amazon box and got excited.  It turns out my wife helped my son order these...   No face shown to protect the guilty...   Solo shot...   My best guess is bad parenting is to blame, but I'm not quite sure yet.  BTW, I would have helped...

So my Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5 Pro's just died. Had them for 7 months, still under warranty. Since they are phased out Logitech is offering me a full refund. Looking for new earphones at the moment, but I prefer not to spend the whole refund on new earphones.   What's the best I can get for...

Wondering where I can get the same exact gold plated screw on 3.5mm to 1/4" adaptor? Does anyone know?  

Hello, it's me Felix again and today i'm doing a review on the Comply Foam tips, and i'll put it also against the newly designed foam sleeves by shure, the Black Foam. Here's a couple pics to show and introduce the Comply Foam tips... Now First off on performance...Compressing...

I currently have a pair of RE0, and I'm looking to upgrade. I'm thinking of upgrading to the DBA-02, and I have some questions regarding it. Right now I don't like the way the RE0 fits in my ear. It doesn't make a lasting tight seal, and the isolation isn't very good (compared to my old...

Been reading a lot of reviews of different portable amps and then even more reviews of how those amps stacked up with the SRH 840s. I've been thinking about getting the e7.   Most of the tracks I am listening to now are  ipod touch 256 kbps > fiio e1 > 840s (although I do have some ALAC...

I travel a lot, and am looking to purchase a set of ear tips (for Hifiman RE0 in ear headphones) to cut out the airplane hum.   I was considering 'Comply T-400' foam tips - is this a good choice? Any other recommendations?(foam or silicone)   Thanks!

outta curiosity, which are the current production brands that are not made in China? or do certain brands make their cheaper models in China and the highend models in country of origin?

Hello! Im new to this forum, and this is the first thread that I have started. I am doing a review of the Comply Foam tips. First off, I would like to thank Comply and their representative on headfi (Comply, aka Nate) for selecting me to do a review of their foam tips. When I got home from...

I used to own some Etymotic ER-6is that I liked but doing more research this time.  If possible would like to keep $$ under $100, but could maybe go a little over that.  Been reading about several IEMs including:  Phiaton, Beyer Dynamic, Audeo, Klipsch, Sennheiser, Shure, and (above my budget)...

I'm a noob so please be kind.  I've searched but with little luck for my question.   I like full size cans for comfort, but fear they need more then what my iPod Touch can send to a set.  I understand a headphone amp would help with that.  But to be honest, I would most often be too lazy to...

My shure se210 cable cracked after 4-5 month of use so Im worried if the same thing will happen to my new sennheiser IE8. Is there a way to prevent this? Thanks.

Going to pick up a pair of Comply TX 100's, but noticed you guys mentioning Shure tips are also good. Which sets are compatible/great with the Westone 4's?

    First off, hi! :) It's been quite a long time since I've made a post on these forums, over a year I think. I usually post in the full size forum, but I am in dire need of something smaller now. As a background, I am an avid gamer. I travel around the US going to gaming events...

Dear Head-Fiers, A friend of mine needs a hearing aid. He got problems with it. The audiologist  first tried an Universal IEM, later on a Custom IEM. In both cases he (the audiologist) drilled a second hole through the tip to avoid air pressure in the ear canal.  I have never heard of a second...

hello guys!   so, i need some advice on what sort of headphones to purchase. the most i would be willing to pay is around $130.   i want headphones that provide extremely high sound quality. i'm going to use these in my room, hooked up to either my iphone or laptop, for listening to my...

Hi, I have a pair of HF5 and the tips that are included don't work so well for me. I looked around and saw that people were either recommending Shure Olives or Tx-100s for alternatives tips. Could you guys provide any insight?   Thanks

I bought some Nuforce NE6 IEMs a couple years ago, with the help of this wonderful forum.  The stock tips are now starting to bother me, they don't seem to fit as well, and they also pop off the iem quite easily.   Can someone recommend some better tips, comply are about the only ones I have...

Does anyone know if the Shure MPA-3C is identical to the component part of the Shure SE102-K-MPA?   Reason being       Reason being, the mic cord on the SE102s looks identical in pictures to the MPA-3Cs, but I can only find the latter for 80 bucks, while the former comes with earphones...

Hey all! I can't think of any silicone tips that fit westone/shure that have the wide opening, like that on the Shure Olives. I'm getting used to the olives, and prefer the sound coming out of the wide hole, but prefer silicons for ease of use. Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

We just released our 1st balance armature speaker and available to be in mass production. With the same performance and much cheaper price, looking for the own brand earbud manufacturing to develop a high C/P in-ear earbud.   I knew Shure, UE used to apply the balance armature speakers in...

Yes, sadly it seems I have lost my Sennheiser IE8s, must have been on my recent trip overseas.   Apart from being gutted, I am now deciding on whether to get another pair, or if you guys can recommend another pair for me to get. I'm open to either IEMs or Circumaural Headphones, but I do...

Hi all, Got the Shure SE115 last week and used the default medium size black foam sleeves for a few days, but found they are just too big for my ears.   Then I change to small size today, now the sleeves can fit perfectly in my ear and the isolation is excellent. However, I found the...

I would like to know how long do they last?   I understand they are washable and can be reused.   But do they hold their elasticity for a long time?   Are they worth the investment?   I am thinking about getting them for my Future Sonics Atrios.   Here they are:  ...
