Hey all, I am currently in the market for a reasonably priced(sub 400 $) tube amp/dac combo for home use.   My criteria are as follows:   1) The aforementioned price limit. 2)a decent DAC Topology. 3) Ability to compliment a wide array of headphones. 4) Ability to plug straight into a pc...

Hi, I am new the to tube amp and wanna to have a sub $300 entry tube amp for my office setup. I am not looking for detail, attack, speed or treble energy since I already have very good SS amp setups with very good Dynamic full size headphones. I just want to have some taste on the tube roll off...

I am looking for earphones that are fun sounding with a lot of impact. All the ones I have are starting to feel too clinical.    Currently own: EX1000 (too clean),  X10 Klipsch (distort too quickly), UE700 (not enough sound pressure)

Imagine yourself sipping warm tea while the sound of flowing fountain inside your ears.   That's Flat-4-Sui, an IEM of art.   First and foremost, this IEM has a V-Shaped FR. The mids (especially vocals) are laid back.   The story thus far: I've been listening on my Shure SE535LTD...

Hello everyone I need a top tier universal. I'm coming from the Re262, Vsonic Gr07 Mk II, and i want a new IEM that can present music in a different or maybe better way. IEM's i was looking at were are the Earsonics SM3, FX700, Sony MDR Ex1000, ortofon eq7, and possibly the Heir Audio 4.ai.

I'm newly on the market for new headphones. I already have a full size headphone for at home. Which iem do you guys recommend for hans zimmer's music in the 100-400 dollar range (man of steel soundtrack is awesome btw)? thanks.

What are some IEM's that would be ideal for classic rock? Trying to keep it under $500.

Hi Guys i wanna to buy one o this please help me to best choice i listen Pop&Hip Hop

I had purchased the PFE232 because I thought their v-shaped signature would be fun and energetic. I was wrong because their mids were too recessed for me and I wasn't impressed, they definitely weren't fun for me. After returning them, I tried looking for a mid-centric model here at head-fi, but...

Can anyone that has had both comment on which might be preferred or the noted differences?  From what I read I take it they sound very similar except the EX-1000 does NOT have much of a treble roll-off making it quite more revealing but almost too much making it a bit too hot on many recordings...

Which one should I ask for from my wife? The XBA 4ip has good isolation, good separation and layering from instruments, but is not very neutral. My music stock is pop, rock and dance.   The EX-1000 is neutral, softer and more realistic with the bass and the midrange. Treble is brighter.  ...

Hi All, I've had IE8s for 2 years and need to replace them (too much wear and tear / accidents unfortunately). I love the outstanding soundstage and bass of the IE8s, so looking to buy IE80s with Toxic's silver cable which would run about $550. Both would come overseas to the US so I wanted to...

I am looking for a new pair of IEM. I listen to alot of classic rock, some acoustic, jazz, country,metal, classical.. so pretty much everything but the majority is the classic rock. I would perfer them to have detachable cables and be as neutral sounding as possible. Soundstage/Presnetation and...

hello head-fiers..   My first post here. I have been trolling the forums as long as I can remember and owe my audio purchases to you folks. many thanks! I currently own the sony mdr ex 1000 and though a lot of opinions suggested how the iem may not be best suited for metal music, I...

First off let me say that i am a brandnew user to iems . i am on the go alot ,work in nyc and i take the busses and subways every night . The first thing i wanted and needed to buy was a MP3 player. I wound up buying a sony 8 gb . nice little player . i think. after i bought it ,i wound up...

From the opinions I have seen on the site, the lettering on the Sony MDR EX-1000 rubs off pretty easily. As my pair is arriving I was wondering if a simple use of Clearcoat would solve the problem. Obviously I will be masking the earphones so that only the certain area will be sprayed with a...

Hi!   I´m reading about Sony MDR-EX1000 and SM3, wich are some of the best earphones at this moment. If you have tried both of them, I want to ask what do you think about this: Sony MDR-EX1000 or Earsonics SM3?   Also, if you have tried the Sony MDR-EX600, do you think that they are...

EDIT: I will be doing only a review for the UM3X as I no longer have it on my person. However, I will still be able to compare the EX1000 and CK100 before my EX1000 goes bye-bye. And finally, there will be an addition to this thread later this week... ;)   For whatever reason, I haven't...

So I purchased the Sony MDR EX-1000s about a couple of months ago on that Amazon sale. Its been a couple of months and hundreds of hours in college listening to them, and honestly compared to my LCD-2s, they don't hold a candle to them in any department. I remember the TripleFi's and RE0s even...

I have been in this hobby for just over 6mnths. My first purchase was the W4s, then the JVC 51s(lost), Sony ex310  to try out the fit before buying a pair of ex1000. My intentions were to buy the ex1000s, but a few weeks ago bought the red 535s with a Baldur mk2 cable for less than the retail...

Between the westone 4 and mdr ex1000, I decided to go with ex1000. I am searching for the best deal for ex1000. If you know any trustworthy site or seller, please tell me! But I really want the warranty because it is quite expensive iem's. Thanks!

Hi everyone!   I was wondering if buying the GR10 would be worth the money and would I be experience a significant difference in listening. I listen to all types of music from Trance, Indie Dance, to Hip hop and acoustic guitar artist like Tommy Emmanuel.   I really don't want to blow 4...

I've done so much searching and reading and researching and I just can't decide which one of these to get!   My first set of proper in ear phones were Sonys. I remember when I got them, they were mid range price. (can't remember the exact model). Put on a song I was very familiar with and...
