First of all, I stumbled across Head-Fi yesterday while browsing reviews on headphones and whatnot, and I am really appreciative of all the time and effort you guys put into your reviews and recommendations to other Head-Fiers. I think it's absolutely fantastic.   Now, to my original reason...

Hi. I'm very confused as I'm new in the music equipment area.I would need some help to choose the best variant. So I'm starting gym again (hurray...) and prepared my phone with plenty of FLAC Rock,Metal and R&B.But my skullcandy Jib sound a bit quiet.Then I remembered that awesome...

Hi everybody! I'm new here.   I've been reading this forum as a resource, and all of your opinions (but especially ClieOS and ljokerl) have been extremely helpful in guiding me towards some IEM purchases.  I started with the Brainwavz M2 and loved them; most of the reviews were spot-on...

Just wondering which IEM sounds way beyond it's price. One that you would buy even if it cost alot more? I guess.... one that you would call a sleeper in the low price world. :)

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...

Helloo, long time lurker here. Recently, my audio technica ckm50 of two years was stolen from me along with other stuff, and I'm now looking into purchasing other iems I've noticed a raising popularity in the Sony MH1c, how does it compare with the Ckm50? I always thought the Ckm50 had solid...

Hello,   My friend needs some good suggestions for ear buds in price range 20-25$.   He doesnt like the IEM types, he wants the apple type without ear tip type ear phones. He says that he is allergic to deep insertion IEMs. Hell, he says my TF 10 SQ sucks and his apple ear buds are...

Want to get my mate a birthday present but I really can't spend much! Can anyone reccomend me the best iem headphones for under £20? Can be a little over maybe? He has a pair of dr dre beats solo hd and I really want to show him some good headphones! Thanks :)

Right when MH1 ‘LiveSound’ was first announced over a year ago by Sony Ericsson (*now ‘Sony Mobile’, after Ericsson sold its share of the company to Sony early this year), I wasn’t really paying much attention to it – Why wouldn’t I, or any audiophiles in that matter? After all, it is just a...

Okay, I promised some of you that I will post the R&D Story behind MH1 so here it is - well, part of it anyway. For the full article, you can either download the PDF version here or visit my blog. The author of this article is Sead Smailagic. He is working for Sony Mobile, in the department of...

I just got my pair and can't really believe my ears! convinced me enough to start an appreciation thread for these while they have a 50-100 hours burn-in!   Lately all the gossip has been happening in Clieos thread below : ...

Welcome to the new and improved. Discovery thread.. I have given some thought into what this thread should be about. If anybody that feels they have something to contribute to this thread as in. It is something new for you or the community I welcome any and every impression of anything that is...

I searched but couldn't find anyone comparing the two. Does anyone have experience with both? Is there a better choice for a <$40 all-around IEM? Headset is a plus but not necessary.

Ok so my Rockit Sounds R-50 iems have died (sound went out in right ear.) I loved them but now i need some help finding replacement iems. My budget is $30 (i am ok with spending up to $50 but only if it is really worth it.) I would like dynamic iems with a good amount and quality bass, good...

ZMF MH1 Recable Like many on Head-Fi, I thoroughly enjoy the diamond in the rough that is the Sony MH1. After originally receiving a super sub bass boosted MH1C long ago, I’ve found the quality control of the regular MH1 to be more consistent in its sub bass boost. If you didn’t know, the MH1...

I know of and own the quite spectacular Sony MH1--undoubtedly one of the best price to performance ratios in the headphone world, and also one of the worst-designed cables--but I'm not really aware of any other budget to mid-fi priced hybrid IEMs out there. I did find a IEM hybrid thread but it...

I've been looking at the Audio Technica Solid Bass series for a pair of headphones like this. I also have had a pair of JVC Xtreme Xplosives that were excellent for their $25 price tag. I want a pair with a lot of bass (Min frequencies of around 5 Hz) and decent clarity (not expecting too much...

Alright guys I am brand new to the headphone world so don't be too hard on me please. I'm just a kid looking for a relatively nice pair of headphones that I could buy with 1-200 bucks of my Christmas money. All my friends have beats by dre but I do my research before I buy just about anything...

Thinking of a christmas gift - for myself of course - which one is the best in the $40 price range. Who's got the Bass punch, tight mids, clear highs (no shrill please) and the widest sound stage. Contenders are: SoundMagic E10 (have these already) Sony MH1C RHA MA-350 Thinksound Rain (Little...

Hello Im after song cheapish earphones for around £30/$50, dont know much about earphones so was hoping for some advice :),  I was thinking of a few different pairs.   Soundmagic E10 Soundmagic pl11 MEElectronics M9 Sony MDR-XB41EX brainwav m5   was looking at these, can anyone tell me...

Hey guys, my mom said she wanted a pair of earbuds for Christmas, but I don't know what to get her.   She just wants something that she can use to listen to her music around the house or taking a walk with her iphone.    She also said she'd like a purple pair   Are there any good...

Hey everyone, I'm currently looking for good IEM's for ~$50. I may or may not buy new IEM's because I might get a free pair of Apple Earpods (hoping they're better than the Skullcandy's) but, I was thinking about buying a pair of Steelseries Siberia V2's since I want a new headset. So I'm not...

Where is the best place to buy these Sony's in the USA?   I need to buy 3 pair for Xmas presents.   Thanks!

I'm a big fan of asymmetric earphones, after 10+ years of using Sonys, to the point where I simple can't get used to the popular y-cord style. I've been searching everywhere for a pair of asymmetric earphones with an inline remote and mic that will work with my iphone 4S. Anybody know of any...

Ive recently been doing a lot of reading about IEMs' here on these forums and I need some help picking out an IEM that can give me a hint of the audiophile's experience when listening to music. For now I am looking for something in the $30-60 price range, but I plan on working my way up to some...
