I recently acquired a pair of hd-25 (velour pads & hd580 cable) for portable use, however when hooked directly to my iphone4 or even through the fiio e7 they have a very bright sound when compared to my hd600 or westone3. I'm not sure if this is normal and I was just listening to my music (rock...

Hi everyone! So ive been spending quite sometime reading through the forum trying to decide on a new pair of IEM's. Im looking to spend $200 give or take and after reading multitude of reviews, im still at a complete loss. My previous set of IEM were Shure e3c that recently broke. I liked the...

Hello,   I'm new to these forums and have a pretty simple issue.    I recently purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD595's off amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD595-High-Grade-Premiere-Headphones/dp/B0001FTVE0/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_c   I was looking for a new quality default...

The first "expensive" pair of headphones I bought were the upgraded apple in-ears (w/ dual drivers). Those were by far the best headphones I have owned, but that was two years ago. I am now looking for an affordable upgrade, preferably less than $200. I like detail and spaciousness.

I've had the Triple.fi 10's for about 3 months now, but I could never appreciate its sound. It sounds amazing when I listen in my bed, but it just doesn't sound good when I'm on a train to school.   I guess that I prefer the dynamic IEM's fun sound. What would be one of the top-tier IEM's? I...

Hi,   still searching the right soundsignature for my tastes and hope you have some more recomandations.   What i have heard so far:   super.fi 5 eb: little to much bass, but maybe could be my choice, if could get used to the comfort. Need phones, i can sleep with.   Whole...

Hey all,My TF10's wire just died on me again so I thought I'd go ahead and join the crowd and get them custom shelled -- and adapted to take a better wire!  I was hoping to get one with mic on it so I could make phone calls, but unfortunately I can't find anything besides the TF10 vi cable...

I'm going to be hiking a good deal of the appalachian trail this summer about 800 to 1000 miles or so. I'm in need of a decent sounding pair of headphones to wear while hiking. I currently I have some UE triple.fi 10s that were reshelled into customs, so i'm not thinking i want to bring them...

Hi,   I remember reading an article of making your own foam tips from this foam. Can anyone post a link to that article?   Since comply tips are so costly, I though of buying this foam and making a tip out of them for my TF10.

Got my impressions done yesterday and about to send them off to Fisher at InEarz to be reshelled.  However, since I am getting customs, I'm thinking, might as well go all the way and get some drivers added.   I am no audiophile..yet .. but I think my TF's 10 sound great as it is.  However, I...

Hey, I love my Grado's, but I don't like carrying them to school. My backpack is already cramped enough. I'm looking for some good  IEM's in the 250ish price range. I listen to nearly anything, but mostly stuff like basshunter, groove coverage, ect.. I have an iphone/ipod with a LOD and an amp...

Hi all,   I am fairly new to the this filed. Recently just bought an Ipod nano and planning to invest some $$ on a better earphone to use with my ipod.     I mostly hear Japanese music, more like J-pop. And i like songs with clear vocal and details sounds. Becoz the earphone will be 60%...

anyone try this? or know about whether this would work? i've called a few audiologists around me and prices are pretty hihg for getting ear impressions made (almost 100 per ear). i reallty want to get my tf10's reshelled, but can't do it if its going to be that expensive. i came across this site...

my budget is around $100 and i need iem's (preferably) that can block out alot of sound and little sound leakage as possible. i would be studying mainly at the library and sometimes at home, and was deciding to go with the shure se115's (apparently can block out about 35db) and they fit in my...

I have a budget of about $200; I really don't want to go higher than that. I used to own the Monster Turbines but I didn't like the fit (even with the comply tips) and the treble always kind of irked me. I'm currently using the Klipsch Image S4s and I like them a lot but I can hear that they're...

    I am looking for a great pair of headphones for anywhere between $50-$200. I will spend whatever I need to in order to get respectable quality to fit my needs but I'm not really expecting the greatest headphones ever made, of course. I can go a little above $200 if needed but would...

I'm looking for a new set of IEMs for around $300. I've been looking at a set of Shure SE530 headphones or something similar. As for sound quality, I would like something thats closer to the Dynaudio sound if that's possible, I have a set of BM5a monitors that I love. Based off info from several...

Hey all! I can't think of any silicone tips that fit westone/shure that have the wide opening, like that on the Shure Olives. I'm getting used to the olives, and prefer the sound coming out of the wide hole, but prefer silicons for ease of use. Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

I was thinking about going the custom route for my Atrios but I came across the Future Sonics Support Website Page and it says this:   How often do I need to get new impressions? We recommend new impressions every 18 – 24 months or less depending on the fit, comfort and performance of the...

Hey guys i i've been looking around for a while but i didn't join up until now. So im looking to buy  some  new iems, the last headphones i had were some S4s and i liked them, but they broke around a month after i bought them, so im looking to upgrade. Im looking for something alot more durable...

I'm a first time poster, HI! I got my ears molded by an audiologist in january...shipped off my molded to alienears and got my custom monitors a couple of weeks later.  I sent alienears a brand new set of UE triple.fi 10s to remold.   I've noticed recently that the balance has shifted...

I'm looking for a pair of IEMs for my portable rig. I listen to mostly electronica (usually house and dubstep, but sometimes trance). I usually will use it to commute to classes every day and will be longboarding half the time, so microphonics are pretty important. I've been looking around, and...

HI! If you could only keep one single IEM/headphone of your whole collection, which one would you keep, and why?   Personally, from the phones I own at the moment (SM3, RE-252, IE8, Radiopaq Jazz, HD-555)  I think I would keep the SM3, because they offer the best balance between isolation...

Hey guys,   Firstly, yes I'm new to Head-Fi, but anyway, my question: So my UE TripleFi 10's that I ordered have arrived from the states to the UK (will only get them for my b-day though ) Now, I've looked to check that everything has arrived correctly, and I did think you were...

 Hi.Has anyone tried this cable "upgrade"? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Upgrade-Cable-SENNHEISER-IE8-Night-stalker-IE8-/110574283606?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19bebdab56http://cgi.ebay.co.uk Thanks for any info.
