I have had the Panasonic HJE 900's for about 2 years now.  I lost one pair after a year and a half and then got another but had to send it in another because of faulty connections.  I loved the CZ's, but am looking to see if anyone has any recommendations on a different IEM hopefully less than...

Looking to buy e-Q5, where has the best deal right now?

Hey Guys,   I know that this won't change anything, but I just want to share my history with people that can understand.   I am Brazilian, but I am living here in Japan, studying now, and I will stay here at least for a while. Well, I bought a SE535 and I decided that it was time to move...

I realize there is another very long thread out there on the Phonak PFEs, but I figured it would be good to start a thread wherein PFE owners and curious Head-Fi'ers could come to post or read about this great value in quality sound (no, that's not from the marketing brochure). Thanks to...

This is the custom in-ear monitor (CIEM) resource thread with a collection of review summaries for many of many CIEMs with links to full reviews as well as quite a bit of information.  I complied this resource since CIEMs have poor resale value and I could not find a resource that compared more...

Hey guys,   After some consideration the last few weeks I've been seriously considering selling most of my head-fi gear and purchase a pair of custom IEM's. I don't really have a budget, all I'll say is the JH3A is out of my budget.   I thoroughly enjoy the sound coming from my Westone...

Hi guys, I received a pair of Monster Turbine IEM's during the Christmas of 2009, after about 2 years gentle use, the sound in my right bud almost cut out completely while I was listening to them today. Anybody know what might have caused this, and how I might be able to fix it. And if that's...

I've pretty much made up my mind that this is the highest amount of cash (£38 excluding shipping) I'm going to buy an earphone. I've used cheap sony MDR earbuds which came with my walkman 5 years ago and its still going. I'd figure an upgraded earphone would be good since I use them occasionally...

Hi Everyone,   I have spent much time reading reviews and ratings for a ton of different headsets lately. I went ahead and purchased the Klipsh S4i today and started using them. I think they sound fine -- probably an upgrade from the Creative 630's I have been using but I'm still going...

Hi everyone.   I am looking for a new pair of earphone which provides me a good amount of bass experience. I've been looking at a few threads with similiar request as mine but a bit aged.   Anyone here who can recommend a pair of earphones for a budget of 100 USD dollars. I live in...

I posted in the "IEMs/portables advice? Don't start a new thread. Ask for help here" but I didn't receive any responses.   One of the plugs in my faithful Ep630's burned out and I'm looking for a replacement. I had a pair of Shure SCL4's for a short while, but I never found them to be...

Been listening for 1-2 hours since received this morning.....   Pretty remarkable IEM.  The first words out of my mouth to describe would be incredibly detailed, transparent, balanced and natural sounding.   It is a different animal in that it has this airiness where all the harmonics...

Hi all. I'm kind of new here.    I need a high end pair of ear buds. I realized today that while in my cube I listen to my $10 headphones for like 7 hours a day in my cube. Granted, it's not like my source (laptop) is pushing out anything great, but I might as well improve the one...

Hi, I recently got into head fi after most my friends went through the beats craze, did my research and somehow wound up here.   I'm looking to upgrade my senn cx300. I commute to work every day and feel I would look silly with M50's. I mainly listen to classic rock/metal but have a variety...

Hi I'm looking for in-ear monitors with deep soundstage (to 50$). I heard that Brainwavz m1 would be good choice. Can I find something better in this price? I listen to rock, metal. Thanks.

My wife picked up the Bowers & Wilkins P5's for me yesterday, and I'm in love (with the wife too). I'm a fan of B&Ws speakers and actually own a pair of low end bookshelf 685's but I never expected to prefer the P5's over a number of my other cans (Grado RS1 / AKG k701 / and Denon D5000)...

I know that the TX500's have an earwax guard but is there any other difference?  Do the TX500's last any longer than the T500s?  Thanks

So I'm a bit of a lurker but I need some help.  So here's the deal, I've had 3 hard surgeries and I spend a lot of time with my earbuds in so I can zone out the pain.  I listen to a lot of "space music" and the like, rock, blues etc..... thats not really important.  What is important is that I...

Interested mainly in Sennheiser since I'm used to the HD 201, but physically tighter or with more bass if the same tightness. The HD 201s sound fine to me yet are too loose on my head (but that reason makes them extremely comfortable), so the bass is almost completely absent. I'm looking at the...

Hey guys, i was about to buy some sennheiser IE8's when i saw this: http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/westone-3-true-fitb.html I know westone are regarded highly in the sound industry, but surely this model cant be so cheap? I know it is B stock, but does that mean it's likely to be fake?   ...

Hi guys, was wondering, how good is the sound staging on the westone 3? (Possibly comparitive to Sennheiser's IE8?) and d'you think its a good choice for Rap and Hip Hop?

I thought of sharing this one since it got me smiling and wondering...   Under $100, the new SE215 with dynamic drivers is delivering a ton of bass and carries the same design as Shure's flagship SE535 and it has the same great replaceable cables:   Shure SE215 Review   I thought...

Here's the link. Must end midnight sale so be quick....

Where can I buy earphones such as westone um1 or um2 in los angeles, san diego, sanfransisco, or las vegas?   I'm mainly looking for a local store where i can go in and buy them off the counter.   Thanks
