After many months spent researching IEMs for sub $100 I decided to go with the Head Direct RE0. Suffice it to say I'm not completely satisfied. My main gripe with these things is that they have absolutely no bass. The specifications say they play down to 15hz, and maybe they do, but as far as I...

  Hey guys, I've gotten addicted to detail. I need more detail in my portable set up now. I'll be running an iPod with Apple Lossless files only, and a self-built amp which sounds pretty neutral so nothing to worry about there. I read a ton about different IEM's. I made a list, I refined that...

Hey guys, I am looking to make a slight upgrade from my current IEMs the SoundMagic Pl21 in a few months. I really like the Pl21 and i was very happy with them. I liked the bass which was a lot better than my old Philips IEMs and i found them to be a lot clearer than stock earphones which was...

Hi guys,   Im new to this forum and am looking for a little bit of advice. I have recently started getting into higher quality audio, having always used standard earbuds that have come with whatever mp3 device i used. Within the last few weeks i have purchased Monster beats tours and also...

I read an article at one site an year back (stereophile, I think - can't be certain) - that headphones/earphones should be removed from the source (iPod/laptop) only after minimizing the source volume to zero.   I myself have noticed that when I switch off my speakers from the mains, I often...

I have a friend who works on fishing boats and resupply vessels and spends most of the year at sea.  His next trip is a 4 month resupply trip across the Pacific from Taiwan to Peru to the Marshall Islands.  He has a large collection of digital movies, TV shows, and music that he listens to on...

  Minerva Mi-3 Review: 3 driver 3-way custom IEM in Silicone   Minerva has been around since the 1930s and making custom earpieces since 1952. About 3 years ago they decided their experience making custom earpieces could translate well to headphones and earplugs. They did a bit of...

Wanted to pick up some more tips for my CK10's, and didn't know what I should be looking for.  Will the Comply's for the CK7's work?  What kinds are good to pair with these IEM's?  Are custom molded ear pieces worthwhile, or do they not offer a sufficient seal?

I just received my JH5pro today. I will post pics later tonight. First impressions are very good. Very fast sounding , Wow. Airy extended highs. Strong tight bass... So far they seem amazing for the price point. The Carbon Fiber case is beautiful. Nice close even weave. The fit so far...

Hey guys! I apologize if my lack of audio vocabulary urks you guys but i'm sort of new to this whole headphone thing. So I'm looking for a pair of either nice portable headphones or IEM's that will suit my needs. First of all my source would be an iPod Touch or Classic. I need a durable phone...

I've seldom read about issues with regards to finding the right tips, and have personally experienced the very same one too many times. I need not stress the improtance of finding the right tips, as I'm sure majority here are all too familiar with it, and how crutial of a role it plays with...

I'm a long-time lurker here, and have learned a ton by reading these forums.  I'm looking for a recommendation for a kind-of unusual situation.    I'm an artist (visual, though I work with sound some too).  I'm going to have somebody moving in above my studio who watches TV all the time at...

I'm 16 right now and I've been considering custom IEMs for a while now, however I am afraid I might have to get a refit/remold every year or so. Does anyone have experience or have knowledge with ear growth, IEM fit, etc.?

So this happened to me at least once, and apparently RageComics had someone else with the same problem who submited this 4-pane:     My comment is probably 3rd, with the same nickname. Just sayin...   Anyway, do you lend your IEMs to friends? Do you force them to clean their ears...

Hello Head-fi.org.  My name is Richard, and I've been lurking these forums for about a year.  In that time, I've discovered that my Beats by Dre tours are not the most liked IEM that's out there , but I like the sound signature, so for now, they stay.  I did use the forum for another set of...

I've searched for days, and have been trying to come to a conclusion.  I listen to mostly hiphop/rap/lupe fiasco-esque music.  And I wanted to know about the durability and whether or not these will be worth the low-budg money.  If not, any other suggestions in the sub $100 range?  Help a newbie...

So I asked my dad for a pair of RE-0 and he contacted me saying that he could either get that or get me some Beats by Dr. Dre Tour Mobile with Control Talk In-Ear Headphones. I don't exactly know much about the beats but I don't really like them as they seem very over hyped. Could someone fill...

  It’s always nice to hear someone is sending me something to listen to so that I can review it. It’s even better to get something that sounds great. The best is when you get something that is not only great but also affordable. I particularly enjoy the last category because I know what it was...

The old thread had 1000+ posts and a large portion was speculation, so I thought I'd start a new thread for owners of IEMs reshelled by InEarZ to post pics and impressions. I hope to get my custom TF10 in next week and I will edit this post when they arrive. So, InEarZ owners: post your pics...

Hello i´m new here! i´m from Brazil, and i was searching for reviews about this two in ears, i don´t know much about in ears, and i´m trying to buy something not much expensive. i only has a Koss - the plug. can anyone help me in this task? i want to hear a good quality sound.   if there...

Hi, Just bought a new sennheiser cx-300-II. After 1 hour it sounds better than the old cx-300. A smoother and sweeter sound with a tighter not so boomy bass, more natural mids a bit fuller voices and not as harsh or brittle highs a bit more natural sounding overall headphones. I found the old...

Ok i purchased a pair of ath m50's and i really love them of course as I know this forum does as well. My concern is regarding the ear pad... i know the actual heapdhones can rotate and stuff but the ear pads can rotate as well is that a problems or is it supposed to be like that?

When Spider Cable announced the Realvoice earphones, I was initially struck by the chance to get a pair for free. I mean, who doesn't love free stuff?! Also, they were offering $10 off the retail of $89.99 and a 30 day trial period, so I decided to take the offer. Since my only other...

I've posted this mini review in other forums, but since there is not many info about Superlux HD381 here, maybe this mini review can be usefull for the forum members here. FYI, I'm not Superlux dealer, distributor, or their company representative, and have no relation with them.  This is just...

So all the earphones I've have/had are dynamics, I've never heard balanced armature IEMs and would like to try one. I've read really good reviews on here about the A151 and was wondering if it would be a good one to get for someone that's never tried armatures. Is there a better 1st time...
