So I am new to the world of headphone collecting and I wanted to get a nice beginner pair of IEMs  for under $100. I was torn between the Meelectronics A161P and the Spider Realvoice. I have listened to some Shures in the past and found them flat and not enjoyable and I was worried the A161P...

What headphones/IEM's would you guys say are "Fun" to listen to?   So far I have owned:   Etymotic ER-4S   Spyder Realvoice   Superlux HD 668B   PX-100   Philips SHE3850   Of those, the only two with "fun" sound signatures were the PX-100 and the Philips SHE3850. The...

Just purchased my first earphones, Spider realvoices, and both the 'small' cushions and the comply foam tips are too large for my ears!  Any suggestions on what and/or where to get something that might work?  I don't want real noise cancellation - if I can't hear my wife's voice there won't be...

Hi All,    Was hoping you could share your extensive knowledge and throw some recommendations my way. I'm not an expert so you'll have to use layman terms. :-)   I'm in the market for a new pair of IEMs. Budget would be limited to the $200 mark. An iPhone remote is now a must for me.  ...

I'm a total noob with audio and headphones as far as sensitivity goes. I know as an artist that I can see things that many people can't, so I understand that many of you can hear things that I can't. My last headphones (sony mdr ex38ip) sounded good to me, but that's the best I've had. Yep, 30...

Are these two different items? How about sound quality?   They are listed separately everywhere even on the manufacturing page and the price points are very different.   http://www.spidercable.com/detail.php?g=35   vs   http://www.spidercable.com/detail.php?g=52   I just...

So my own realvoices' left earbud stopped working about a month ago without cause and I saw one or two reviewers have the same exact problem. I was wondering if this is a common problem because I'm thinking about buying my girlfriend a pair however I don't want it to break on her.   So in...

I need some classical music earphones under $100. I have the Bose IE2. But, I need somethings with 3/4 ammount of bass, 4/4 treble, and I don't really know mids. That's the best I can describe it.

As the title says... I can't get a good seal with the MC5, when i finally get it i can really enjoy it. But i can't move, because if i move just a little my head... i lose it. So, i need something that is durable. Like plastic or i don't know, not a foam. any suggestion? thanks, i hate my...

This may have been asked before.  What I am looking for is suggestions on headphones in this price range that are capable of faithfully reproducing the detail and technicality of modern metal and its various subgenres.  In other words, very fast music.  Something with exceptionally tight bass...

Hey there,   Been searching all over for this accessory for Sennheiser IE8, it's killing me every time I wanna switch a track or pick up a phone call with my iPhone 4 I have to take it out of my pocket. Any clue where I can pick up the cable?   Thanks    

Is there such a thing. A bassy iem with forward vocals.

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a set of Sennheiser IE8s from an authorized retailer in NYC for the full retail price of $400. A few weeks later, I saw a pair of Sennheiser IE8s on eBay for around $200. The seller had ~300+ positive feedback and had 100% feedback as well. The pictures...

What headphones would you recommend to use at the gym? not in-ear. Audio Technica ATH-M5 for this? or are they too large?

Any views on the denon c560r??

I currently use the ATH-M50s for my fullsize headphones and I really love them. However, I have a pair of old Sennheiser CX300's which have had their time. I think their mids and highs are pretty terrible so I'm looking for a new pair of IEMs which meet the following preferences around the...

How do they compare in terms of bass? joker's thread only talks about it generally.

Every time I've thought of buying a set of >$100 IEM's I stopped because I feared I would snag them on something and BAM I'm out $200, when 200$ cans would've taken the hit, or at least been repairable. But it's time for me to bite the bullet. I have owned the Etymotic Research ER-6's (not the...

Hello, My Name is Felix and I been kindly offered a sample of the Ultimate Ears 700 for Review. So here it goes and hope you all like it! The Pictures are massive for detail, they aren't the most clear pictures as they are taken with my phone. Some updates may be coming too. Keep your Eyes...

The 1964 EARS V6 is finally in my ears, and it's wonderful. Wider soundstage and more detailed than the Quad to my ears. It's a more balanced sound than the Quad, yet with plenty of bass extension, forward mids and extended highs. Those who thought the highs were a bit recessed in the 1964-Q...

Hi my dear friends; I'm looking for a new portable headphone. I usually listen trance and electonic music but now I'm in dilemma with these two headphones. If you help me choosing best one for electronic music, I'll be grateful. I almost forget I'm using sansa clip v1 and teclast t51. Thank you...

Does anyone heard these IEMs? Is there any difference between the PT and P?

I've had an excellent run here at Head-fi: I've bought a lot of stuff, thrown stuff away, sold stuff, lost stuff, and broken stuff. I've gone through reams of review paper, met some cool people, and listened to a LOT of great music.   I've got a few review earphones on my plate for now and...
