I love my ba200. It is very smooth and pleasant sounding and very comfortable. Sometimes I wish it had a tighter or more impactful bass. I can eq the bass up but it still isn't as tight or deep impactful as I like. Just a tad too dull hitting. And I tried the tdk ie800 but liked ba200 better. I...

My first IEM was se215. I sold it because I find it so fatiguing I can only listen to it on bus. I have chance to audition it conveniently but I just can't listen to it long enough to tell whether it is as fatiguing as 215. I hope those who listen to both 215 and 535 can tell me what you think...

I went to Jaben to check out some IEMs, and the service was fantastic and I got to try out a bunch of IEMs! The setup and music is in my signature... I auditioned the following IEMs, and here are my opinions... Westone 1- Really comfortable, but the sound was a little too thick for my liking...

Wondering if anyone has tried both of these out and can offer some input on the differences between the two.   The B2's are on for $100 on Amazon right now!

Hey guys! I need to find some new earphones for under $250 since my UE700's are dying on me. I listen to a lot of Hip-Hop/Dubstep/Drum 'n' Bass. Anyone have any suggestions? I have checked out multiple earphones such as the Westone UM2, etc... I just don't know which pair is right for me   ...

  For sixty dollars, it is very hard to expect much from any IEM. IEMs have been underwhelming for me in my short time as an audio enthusiast. The IEMs that I have tried generally have overly prominent mids, muddy lows, and nonexistent highs. The Brainwavz M2 brought something different to the...

Hello! In a foolish quest of looking for a perfect IEM, like many others after reading countless articles here on Head-Fi, I have ended signing up here to try to profit on the community's knowledge    What I'm looking for is said in the title; I have been thinking about getting the...

Hi guys! As the title says, I'm concern on what really is the purpose of having an portable amplifier such as Fiio amps and etc...   1) Is an amplifier only for gears with a high impedances?   2) What if my gears have the typical impedances (16ohms, 32ohms, 60ohms), can I still use an...

The UM3X is a great iem and I do find myself pretty enchanted by it's sound.  That said, I'm not head over heels for it so I'd like to move on and get my hands (ears?) on something else.  Small annoyances are the size of the jack as I have to use an adaptor when I use my iPhone 4S and the length...

Up until recent, TDK is best known for its storage media – from the early cassette and floppy, to the more recent CD-R and DVD-R, and perhaps also for the lesser known of its involvement in developing and licensing of Blu-ray disc as well as USB flash drive. What isn’t quite as well known about...

    Pros: Great seal, stunning clarity, build quality, cost to performance ratio, musicality and instrument separation. Cons: Highs roll off, very short cable which requires included cable extension, lack of variety in tips, and an amp is recommended. Style: Over-Ear IEMs Tonal Balance...

It been a while since the last time I looked at in ear headphone and I have no idea which ones are currently the best.   I currently have Phillips Fidelio X1 (Full Size Headphone) and Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10.   My source is FiiO E17 USB DAC/AMP.         One of my problems with my...

Chord&Major Tonal Earphone Collection Review (2013 editions?)     Never heard of Chord&Major? I don't blame you; their exposure is still very limited and, truth be told, I haven't heard of them either until two months ago.   For this review, I believe the contents can get a little...

I am currently on the hunt for a pair of IEMs with powerful bass and great overall sound quality.  As of right now, I own a pair of Beats Tour and am completely over them.  The bass isn't too bad...it's the rest of their performance I could do without.  The instruments tend to blend together...

Hi head-fiers, I'm pretty new to the in ear world (if you want to know my main area is circumaural closed) I don't particularly want to spend another 2 years relearning headphones. The problem with circumaurals is that you just can't put them in your pocket. Not a problem for me most of the...

So I read around these forums for a couple days, and after a lot of back and forth decided to go with the BA200. They came in this morning, but I'm not crazy about them. The sound seems kind of empty, and there's no discernible bass. Don't get me wrong, they sound clear and nice but they just...

Hello,   I loved my UE700s, however they got damaged on a recent trip and cannot be repaired.   Since the UE700s are now discontinued I am looking for something with a similar signature with a bit more base and if possible a bit more vocal forwardness.   What I really loved about the...

What the title says. I listen mostly to classical symphonies.  Thus the overall presentation is extremely important.  The other iem I am currently looking at is T-Peos H-200.  Any input will be much appreciated.

I'm in the market for a new IEM. Unfortunately it will be a 'blind' buy as I know nowhere where I can listen to (high end) IEM's. What would be a good upgrade from my current Panasonic HJE900? I think (but am not sure) that a neutral IEM is not to my liking. From what I read something like a...

Hi all,    In the past few months, I have been looking around headfi and the internet for an upgrade(or alternative) to my 1 year old Hifiman RE0s that I currently use as my daily driver. Don't get me wrong, I love how the RE0 presents its sound, especially its ability to extend in the...
