I found this site after a bit of research on the topic, and from what I can tell, people here know exactly what they're talking about.   I personally have no idea what I'm talking about on the subject. To be honest, until I looked into it, I was planning on buying Bose in-ear headphones.  ...

Hi guys, i know the title sounds weird, but i've been A-Bing westone um2 and shure se 215, and for my fave iem, it woudl be for these 2 to get married and have a kid.   I like that the um2 has good soundstage. For the se 215, i like its warmness, and coherence, the music sounds more like a...

I needed another pair of IEMs like a hole in the head, but the 7550s intrigued me. My current portable 'phones are the MDR-NC300D. Yeah, I know ... but on a plane, they work really well. And they actually sound decent all things considered. I'm not doing critical listening on a plane. For a long...

Hey everyone,   I've recently bought a pair of Dr. Dre Tour IEM's because I liked the way they looked and were on sale. I like the sound but it just doesn't fit well and it doesn't isolate well either. I will be returning these and will be on the lookout for a new pair.  My budget is...

hey guys, hello to all of you in this forum. I am a complete newbee in earphones however love hearing music. I am the sort of guy who always resorts to hearing music with a pair of cheap earphones. however I later found that there are headphones costing worth 100s of dollars that offer...

Looking at the EX600's and wondering how they compare to say the DBA-02's.  I seem to like the sound signature of the DBA-02's and the Ety HF5's and if the EX600's are similar at all.   Cheers, Jim

I mean, really, what else is to be improved upon when cramming drivers into a cubic centimeter?   About 8 years ago, ER4 and E4 and Super Fi Pro were the best we could get.  Then came SE530 and TFPro which were clearly upgrades.  Then 2 years later came W3 and then UM3X, SM3, GR8, CK10, X10...

On September 3, Sony announced the upcoming release of their new "NUDE EX Monitor" series of IEM.  The models span from the affordable MDR-EX310SL (approx. $73 US) all the way to the ~$730 US (MSRP) range-topping MDR-EX1000.   The top-of-the-line MDR-EX1000 uses a newly designed...

I just ordered one in black. Wonder how it compares to my MDR-EX600 or the current MDR-XB40ex. Anyone here tried these? http://www.sony-asia.com/product/mdr-xb41ex

I've generally been pleased with Sony's $100-200 lines and my pair of EX500's was stolen over the weekend. I can't really make up my mind...I've been eyeing the EX1000 and Sennheiser IE8's but I'm just not ready to make the jump.   Basically, I'd like to know how the new line compares to...

  Sony MDR-EX1000   Useful Links   james444’s review with comparisons to the FX700, e-Q7, and GR10 (also in that link is various links to videos of unboxing the EX1000 and other reviews):  ...

I am gonna preorder one. Since it have not listened to either. Can someone help me? The price difference is huge. I am using EX300ip and I like how quick they sound. Am I gonna get that much more going to the top model?

Sony has finally updated their site with pricing.  To my surprise, it retails for $349 and not the $499 price of the MDR-EX1000.  Does anyone know what the MDR-7550 is based on?  Perhaps the MDR-EX600?  

I see that three ear tips that comes with this IEM are different from the others. Those have foam in between the silicone. Can someone please post a good picture of them?

Hey Head-Fi! Last time I wanted some headphones you guys helped out a lot and I couldn't be happier. Here I am again looking for a pair of IEMs. I mostly listen to Rap, Trance, Eurodance, pop, and just about every other genre of electronic music (hardstyle, glitch, ... you get the point). Things...

Sony MDR-EX1000   Disclaimer: This is solely only my impression, so please take this with a grain of salt. I hadn't exactly got myself the time to fully examine and listen these earphones.   Sony MDR-EX600 Impression and the EX-600 vs EX-1000 comparison could be found here...

Hi, I need a good headphone exclusively for anime around the $80-145 range. Currently, unless I can find a better offering from Sony, I intend to get the Grado SR-80i. It needs to play vocals really well, with decent mids. I'm not so big about bass, but I do listen almost exclusively to...

I have a pair of klipsch Image S4's but I frequently see reviews saying the Monster Turbines are better, then the gold and coppers being sequentually better yet. I have also seen reviews saying the Klipsch Image X 10's (what ever happened to the X 5's?) are better than the S4's and about tying...

Hello guys,   I am would be really grateful if anybody could compare Radius HP-TWF11,  Philips Fidelity S2,  VSonic GR 07 and Sony EX600. Which are the best? I listen mostly rock, altenative rock, sometimes dupstep or electronic. My player is Sansa Clip + Roxboxed or Sony Xperia Ray. Now, I...

About myself: http://www.head-fi.org/t/674373/story-of-a-new-reviewer-kimvictor   Intro: Sony's current flagship IEM is XBA-4. However, it's bass heavy tuning and lacking transparency made me disappointed in Sony. Last year, I also noticed that Sony had a line of dynamic IEMs, tuned for...

I'm looking for recommendations for IEMs to replace my rapidly dying Radius HP-TWF11s (known as DDMs to some). I absolutely love the sound signature of them, but after ~3 years of constant use they're literally starting to fall apart.   I listen mostly to progressive/technical metal, so want...

Would you please help me w/ ur opinion, mates? With the available fund right now, I am considering to buy between sennheiser mx 985 and shure se215 ltd (since both are at the same price range/level). I guess mx 985 should have much better sound details and neutrality/naturality than se215 ltd...
