Hi all! I've received plenty of great advice and recommendations here (ended up owning the amazing Thinksound TS-02 and Sony XB90EX due to this community), so I thought I should help contribute a bit and post up some initial thoughts on these two new IEMs I just acquired. I just got them...

Does anyone know where I can source the Sony XB90EX in UK? Can only find Jap imports. I was once lucky enough to buy these from AmazonUK directly at one point and stupidly sold them on, which I regret.

Hi All, I've been on a journey for some time looking for a spiritual successor to my beloved Hippo VB. Let me just say that I'm on my second pair of Hippo and they have been superb, I feel lucky that I found an IEM so early on that really satisfied what I wanted so much; conversely it also made...

For working in difficult places, on a job where they could get snipped accidentally and/or go through heavy work, movement... This means a good sound quality to price ratio. Any suggestions? No specific genre as I couldn't say a genre I'd listen to any more than the other. I don't really see...

I currently have the Sony MDR-XB90EX and while I love them, it is time for an upgrade. On my next pair, I want something with a treble that is more defined than I currently have. While Bass is still important, it is significantly less important to me than it was when I bought my current pair of...

On christmas 2011, I got a pair of monster ncredible ntune headphones as a gift. While they sounded comparable to $20 sony headphones, the bass was an almost surreal experience. The first few months I had them, I was very unimpressed with them overall.. the sound quality was that of a 10"...

5 days ago, I purchased the Klipsch Image S4i and was very excited. My first impression was "these are trash"..it still is. I honestly see no big difference in the sound quality of these and the apple earphones (not Earpods) except that the Klipsch has noise isolation and has more direct sound...

Hi, I'm a new head-fi user who just started loving good audio and IEMs. I used to be a fan of a red B type brand which is behind me now. What started me in interest of good audio products is the purchase of monster turbines last august which I still use and love. I also got some XBA-1ip which I...

Ok so I am getting the XB90EX Dynamic for super bass but I want a contrast, I want a nice balanced sound to compliment them, I currently have the XBA3 and think its really good but it might not be the most balanced per say.   This review caught my eye...

I have my sights set on these IEMs because i'm looking for some good "fun" not muddy bass and I like the flat cable. Any thoughts or suggestions before I pull the trigger and get these. I mainly will use these to listen to electronic music such as Trance and Hardstyle. Budget about $80 to $100...

Hi Just received my XB90ex from a trusted online retailer.First thing i noticed,that behind the box,it was written that it is Made in China.Shouldn't it be Made in Japan.     Also the sound quality is somewhat just a few steps ahead of my old Tekfusion twinwoofers. May be I am over...

Can anyone compare the Playaz/Xears N3 Nature to the Sony MDR-XB90EX?  I am most interested in the bass, midrange (forwardness), soundstage, clarity, and details.  thanks

Hi, my first post here. Had trouble registering, but finally did. Okay, before coming to the point, let's say this about me, I know some things about P.C, Mobiles and some other stuffs but when it's an audio product I don't know what to look for, so in other words you can call me an amateur, or...

Now I'm thinking I should purchase a pair of audiophile earphones for on-the-go listening, possibly in addition to a pair of cans. I'm looking for audiophile buds that cost $150 or less, have good noise isolation, and are good for listening to classic rock. Any suggestions would be great!

Hey Guys  Im no audiophile but ive been experimenting with a few mid-fi iems under 120$ but somehow i couldnt find the right sound signature  Ive searched around here on head-fi but most of the options mentioned here are really expensive for the genre i listen to  I listen to alternative rock...

Ok, before you yell at me for not searching the threads well enough, I am new to this website and I need some adjusting.   The question is which would you say is a better IEM, the Sony XB90EX's or the Atrio MG7's. I would not classify myself as an audiophile, I just like nice headphones. My...

Apologies if I just missed them, but I did a search and came up empty. Someone local is selling these for $80 (seller says they are only a few weeks old), and I was hoping I could get your opinions on this IEM before making the commute to check them out. I heard that it has good sub bass (how...

Any sony xb90ex review/impression and comparison with the gr07 or shure 215 in bass, sibilance, comfort, durability, soundstage?

So I bought some headphones to replace my ety mc 5 and my broken cx400ii. I'm a basshead and I'm new to the headphone world so forgive me if Iwrote not so detail(especially in treble) Sony XB90ex: Build quality: good, but Ithink the cable may break anytime! Comfort/Isolation: amazing! I cant...

I've heard so many good things about these IEMs. I wondering what your personal experiences with them were. http://www.amazon.com/MDR-XB90EX-In-Ear-Headphones-Japanese-Import/dp/B008G80FIU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top  

Hi guys   I´d like a specific piece of advice   To add to my collection if in ears I´d like to have a bass heavy in ear in the range of 100-150 usd.   Rather have a V shaped eq type and/or slightly recessed mids but extended or resolved trebles. Also prefer dynamics or at most...
