Hi I'm new to Head-Fi and was looking for some advice as too what iem to buy. I listen to primarily dubstep and electronic music and i like a good bass presence, and soundstage (hoping this is the right terminology for what I'm looking for). Im looking to order an iem from Bestbuy and the only...

  The effect of headphone cables: SONY MDR-EX1000 http://rinchoi.blogspot.com/2012/04/effect-of-headphone-cables-sony-mdr.html   This is a comparison between a non-OFC cable, an OFC cable(RK-EX600LP), and a 99.99999% OFC cable(RK-EX1000SP). Binaural samples for subjective assessment are...

I have been using the EX1000 for more than 6 months now and really enjoy the music (primarily classical) with my iPods. What amazes me is the airy and energetic sound with big sound stage, smooth treble, extended and controlled bass and sufficient details (yet not analytical). It always sounds...

I am interested in purchasing the Sony MDR ex1000 this week. I've read they are one of the best Dynamic IEM's ever heard. I am a big fan of the Vsonic Gr07's, and so far i haven't found an IEM that sounds better to my ears than the 07's. I was wondering if the Son'y still hold it's ground as...

I've known about the EX1000 for years now, but only stumbled upon the 7550 after an erroneous click on a certain website. This wayward click brought me to the 7550's FR graph, and I was surprised at how neutral this random IEM seemed.   Fast forward to now, and I've ended up buying the 7550...

I want  a high resolution , detailed , texturized , transparent DAC with Greatest SOUNDSTAGE in its price range. Of course I hate Harsh high and i have treble allergy .I want more Treble extension and More texturized and detailed sound.not more loud treble.     I have HD650 And Elekit...

This thread is basically a list of songs from a variety of genres that I have listened to with comments on my observations of the sound properties of each.  I have listened to each song from beginning to end and also compared small sections of interest to get a full engrossing feel for each song...

I've spent about 100 hours so far with my BA200s. I'm using them with an EVO/iPhone 4s and E07K. my settings that I really enjoy on the E07K are +6db, +6 treble, and +4 bass. I listen to most genres of music ranging from R&B to Country to Hip-Hop and Rock. Sometimes the bass is perfect on the...

Hello all so i'm planning to buy some iems that can be driven unamped from my Sony Walkman Z Price range: under 450$ I mostly listen to rock , alternative, classical, soul , indie and sometimes country and pop. I don't listen that much electronic , techno , trance, dubstep or metal. I...

I have decided that due to my permanent chronic pain and neck problems, I am going to either use IEMs from now on (as there is no additional weight on the cervical spine), try the Stax portable unit (feather light) or go to speakers (in that order of preference). I would prefer not to go to...

Greets from snowy Russia, folks.   I need your help in choosing IEMs under $300 (shipped) for my Cowon D2 and FiiO E17. Seacrch conditions are as follows:   1. Not-colored or low-colored super high-detail sound.  2. Solid contruction and strong cable. 3. High impendance(?). Since I'm...

Hi,   So I'm by no means an expert audiophile or anything of the sort but am slowly becoming obsessed..   I live alone, and easily spend 12-14 hours a day listening to music using in ear headphones. I previously owned the Kilpsch S4's which I lost, and ended up buying some UE 900's from...

I know these IEM's have been compared a lot already, but I cant really find which are best for electronic music.  I love bass, but dont want it to recess mids and highs. 

what are some earbuds / earphones with a large sound stage with good sound  of course

Hey guys!   Forgive me i know this is an overkilled topic but i'm afraid i have to bring it up in yet another similar thread because from all the threads i've read, I somehow drift further and further from a decision. Okay so i'm making a huge investment upgrade from my current senn IE8. So...

After browsing around all day and looking at recommendations and impression threads of high quality IEMs I just can't make my mind up about which IEM would be the best for my musical tastes and with a price range of $200-$300 I am not looking on blowing my money on something I'll be disappointed...

Hello from Argentine I open this topic all because it turns out that I have a few westone um3x and want the better some listen to all kinds of music customizados not since alive where there exist no companias that devote themselves to it I have seen the following ones Westone4 Phonak pff232...

Hey there, I'm a newbie in head-fi (1st post/thread/activity here!), and I would like to receive some input regarding high-end universal IEM.   First of all, I'm not a hardcore audiophile, nor am I very knowledgeable about IEMs in general, I'm just a casual listener who wants to step up and...

Long story short my Monster Turbine Copper died and now I have to get a new pair of IEM but I need something with more bass!!! Yes those had some good bass and clarity but I want moar bass!!!:D my budget this time is about $400 and I listen to mostly pop/hip hop/rap with the occasional classical...

I have already bought my EX1000 for a month. Its poor isolation, discomfort, treble spikes and light bass make me a little bit disappointed.  However, Pairing EX1000 with Ipod Classic, i really think EX1000 is still an excellent IEM with few flaws. It's the time to upgrade my IEM to Custom...

Hi everyone Our office is about to move from separate rooms to an open plan environment; something no one is looking forward to. For the last year I have been using and appreciating my AHD7000's at work each day, but because sound isolation isn't the best I think now is the time to get some...

Hi, this is my first post but I started reading this (wonderful  ) forum months ago... I'm going to buy a new pair of IEMs but I can't decide which one is the best in the 250€ price range... My library is 90% composed of rock, hard rock and metal music. I'm searching for something that...

I'm looking for an IEM which is the closest thing to the Denon D5000s as possible, since I like that sound so much. Is there such a thing? These will be paired with a Cowon X9, if that helps with synergy...   It would also help if it's one that fits well and doesn't require much tweaking and...

Hello, I recently purchased a pair of Bowers & Wilkins C5 earphones and so far I haven't really been too satisfied with them; that being said they haven't really been burned in yet. The lows just seem a little muddy and the mids are very poor for this price point, I've also noticed that cymbals...

I just got EX1000 by SONY. It seems the majority that owns EX1000 doesn't use Ipod Classic to pair them. Ipod Classic really can't drive EX1000 very well, maybe only up to 50%? But this pair sounds no good. Singers' voice is awkward in some points; sounds go very awkward when i play some...
