I've tried Shure olives and Double flange tips, but I still prefer the comply tips, and curious what most people prefer.  How can I fit MC tips to the SM3? Seems too thin for MC tips to stay in place.

Been using these for about two weeks now and they sound great I want to try different tips to hear the difference. What are some good tips to use for the xcapes i hve heard that the Monster SuperTips, Shure E2c and shure/comply foams are good but are there any other good ones. I can get the...

Anyone every compare the old workhorse Koss PRO/4AA to a modern day closed headphone from Sennheiser such as the HD280 or HD25? The Koss was found in virtually every major studio in their heyday.Still remarkable sounding and under $80 typically.    

Currently running on the Comply Foams, though it seems like it'd be a bit expensive to constantly buy packs every few months or so. I'd prefer a cheaper alternative, or maybe one that's more durable. I was thinking of the UM56 tips, though I'm not sure I want to drop that much on them yet...

Hi guys I'm new and i would like to get your opinions on some quality headphones.First of all i don't like the over the top(head) style headphones,so i guess that's out of the picture.I'm more into ear canal headphones,and so far I've only considered the bose tri-port earphones and the...

my shure headphones sound better then my 100$ logitech speakers but is it a general rule that speakers are cheaper or more expensive.   whats the better value for the money.

Theys was all like, 'hey, mr sam, lefty hear is gonna start only working if he is inserted and maintained a certain matter whilst in your ear' so now lefty like only works when my head is a-layin on my pillow (temperpedic memory foam)!!! oh and westone um2s with shure tri-modded-bi-flanges with...

Hi all,   I've been seriously considering upgrading from my Shure SCL2's. I love them in pretty much every way especially how comfortable they are, but I think it's a time for an upgrade. I'm using them with a Zune and a PA2v2. I'm primarily looking at either SE425, 315 530 (if i can find...

Have you guys ever experienced a significant loss of bass whenever you listen to IEM's on a vehicle (which for me is most of my listening time) as the engine drowns out the bass. I'm using Futuresonics Atrio's with Etymotic tri-flange tips and in quiet environments they are as warm as you like...

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,   My volume attenuator is a Shure volume control, which ends in a right angle.  Unfortunately, my iphone case and many others won't accept a right angle plug; it must be a straight angle.   Does anyone know of a volume attenuator cable that ends in a straight angle?  I can't seem to...

coming sooon!

Hello everyone,   I have been lurking the forums for quite some time and finally decided to join because of a pressing issue. I have decided, after much reading, to take the plunge and get custom molds for my Etymotic ER4-P IEMs. I have been having problems getting a good seal on my right...

Hey there.   I have been checking these forums a fair bit while trying to decide which IEMs to get, but this is my first time posting.   I bought some Sennheiser IE7's for Christmas which are the first expensive for me (£100) headphones I have had, to use with an ipod touch and Desire...

my 150$ shures sound incredible they are really clear but the vocals can distort sometimes. but i have these 20$ no name brand headphones that sound like trash except for the vocals. why is this.

i have the shure srh750dj headphones and they sound ok but whats the difference between burn in and pre burn in. also how long does it take to burn in. i love these headphones but they sound bad compared to my 60$ pioneer se m390 over ear headphones. thanks for all the help in advance.

Hey guys,   I was trying to use some Ety phones with Shure tips, and in the process of taking the tips off (they were too big for my ears), the shaft of the MC5s broke. The MC5s I had were less than a month old and I'm hoping to return them to Ety. Does anyone have any experience dealing...

so i've just ordered a new set of etymotic glider tips, i like them for how well they fit my ears and how much isolation they give   but lately the tips have been tearing up at the 'stalk' within days of me putting them on my ER4's ... some of them are already torn while they are still in...

I've tried countless pairs of headphones. Among my favorites were maximo 590, where the wire snagged right away, and especially soundmagic pl50, which were by far my favorite, but the piece that the tip is supposed to go over broke off after a few months! Now I am once again looking for a good...

I wear glasses and full size headphones have always been a pain for me and my ear canals are so small that I can never get a good fit with IEM. I'm looking for a great pair of earbuds w/ integrated mic I would use a splitter: ...

Do you guys know any good deals on small shure olives for a Swedish guy? I would rather not pay ~$20 for the tips and ~$20 for shipping (best deal I found so far). I found 5 pairs for $22.90 with free shipping on ebay, but only medium olives, and unfortunately I prefer the slim complys which...

Easy question - will Shure tips fit the SuperFi 4?

I received my triple fi's today from the amazon deal.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this.  To put it bluntly, the sound quality is atrocious.  The triple fi sound substantially worse than the 20 dollar pair of v-modas I also ordered.  The bass response is impressive, but not...

Hello Everyone!     I am a new user here at headfi, and i came here primarily to find a suitable pair of monitoring phones for my recording set up at home. I am at a bit of a toss up here though... I have a narrow budget (around $125 at most) and it seems that my best choice would be the...
