Been looking at all sorts of headphones for a while now, started with the intention to by beats pro but then everyone on here hated them so was going to go for senn 555hd but as I will be using them for flights I guess open back isn't ideal. So then I decided I may swell just get IEMs for now...

Well, that was faster than I expected. Thankfully, these came with a full assortment of new tips. The only missing items versus a new set are the 1/4 adaptor, smaller case, and -- of course -- the lifetime warranty. Initial listen impression... wow, I've stepped back into the light...  

Hello all,   I am a newb to the scene of high quality IEMs and was directed here by a friend.  I am looking to buy a new pair of IEMs for everyday use, nothing too fancy, but I enjoy high quality audio and would like something that can bring out the character in good tracks.  My budget is max...

I just performed the Foam Mod on my RE-ZEROs. Man, these sound a thousand times cleaner. Great great detail on the highs, and what speed. My setup is as following Sansa Fuze>Modded L6>Mini^3 Amp>RE-ZEROs. I can hear the smallest detail here, though there's sibilance. Am also using the Fake Sony...

Had to start it, just absolutely blown away by the awesomeness of these earphones! Using Shure E2C flex tips, just wow, cant explain the awesomeness! Leona Lewis is fantastic on these, great mix of highs, bass and mids in most tracks! edit: for anyone that reads this first post, i have...

I just got the ATH-ES55 and I'm pretty stunned by how much I love these.     Let's get to it. This will be a quick impression. I listened to them for only a few hours.   The best part of the ATH-ES55 is it's fun, engaging, yet balanced sound signature. It's Audio-Technica's famous...

I've always been a IEM user but have considered getting a set of full size cans. Now the missus has offered to buy me some for my birthday :)   I love the sound signature of my IE8's, and my SE530's second. I like a warm, smooth, large soundstage, lots of bass.     What would I be...

Yesterday I pick up a pair of MX580 and I love the sound. Even without proper burn in, it became my instant favourite. It's detail, warm and sweet. I have a few IMEs but I prefer normal earphone, more comfortable for me. The UF10 is great, very clean, detail and fast sounding but the wire and...

I have been looking at investing in a pair of customs for some time now. During my review hunt, these popped up from a comment someone posted about their top of the line sounding as good as the JH13's (from a pcmag review). Quite a bold statement; but it peaks my interest, considering their top...

I just bought the Etymotic HF5 (Ruby color) direct from Amazon. I had another one that I sold two months ago because I needed the money. I liked it though, so I decided to buy it again since Amazon had it for $99.99. This new one that I got seems to have a different cable. The plug is angled...

I am interested in getting some EQ5's, and want to know how comfortable they are comparing to the SM3 and ER4's? (since I have these two, it is easier for me to get an idea about the EQ5)   For me, the ER4 with tri-flange is relativly comfy to wear, while the Sm3 with factory bi-flange is a...

Hey Guys, i was thinking of upgrading my rig, and if i save, i am going to be able to save upto 300 USD in 3 months, at max 4. So basically, i am confused over what to upgrade in my Rig. at this moment, my rig consists of Sansa Fuze V2>LOD>Mini^3>RE0s and RE-ZEROs. my options are, i...

Hello all,   My wife is an audiologist and she wants to upgrade my ear gear.  I just got a new iphone 4 and I want to get some new buds.  Do I go with the custom molded RH1's (custom single driver earbuds with a flat outer for easy on/off with a helmet because I ride motorcycles, but they...

Hey everyone! I just purchased a new Zune HD and a pair of Klipsch S4s I have a few questions about each... For the Zune: Would it be best to use 320kbps MP3s or Lossless WMA? For the S4s: What's a good cook time? I've heard anywhere from 40-100 hours... For both... What should...

Hey out there.   My Etymotic HF2 just stopped working, so it's time for something new.   I am open for ANY suggestions :-)   I listen mostly to 'soft' rock - like Nickelback, Daughtry and 3 Doors Down. I like to listen to the harsh voice of Chad, Chris and Brad, so bassicly some...

Does anybody have suggested Jeteffect settings for using the Head Direct Re0s with a Cowon J3?  There are so many settings that can be adjusted, it seems very overwhelming.  These are current settings on my J3:   EQ:   80 Hz, Wide, 9dB 300 Hz, Wide, 10 dB 780 Hz, Wide, 4 dB 1.8...

Hi, I've heard several different opinions about sound bore. I know single bore, dual bore and triple bore sounds differently even with same drivers and exactly the same crossovers. However, I've seen lots of earphones and found out that there are some similarities among same model even witb...

  Review: SoundMAGIC E30 in-ear-phones   A new earphones model from SoundMAGIC, a Company that has given us such exciting earphones as PL11, PL30 and the top-tier PL50, can never go unnoticed. So, when E30 was announced, I asked a sample for a review.     E30 came in the new...

I recently received as my part in a trade a newish pair of UE700's (Ultimate Ears) and I'm amazed these don't get more attention. First- the bass, its there its just not thumping, car jumping, ears bleeding thick with no definition- its part of the overall sound and for this head-fi'er presented...

I am a long time lurker, and first time poster. This place has a great wealth of knowledge and I appreciate everyone's thoughts getting me this far.    I recently tried the UM3X and Sony EX1000 side by side and really preferred everything about the UM3X. I want to try the SM3 v2, but can't...

So i went to Earsonics' Website today out of boredom and noticed that Earsonics has released a new version of the sm3. Sm3 V2!! Description: EarSonics SM3 pushes further the limits achieved by the SM2 for universal in-ears: more aeration, a wider sonic image, more defined lows and detailed highs...
