Hello guys! After buying Monster Turbines which died after 1 week of use I want something else and this time I have a bit more money.    I have about $180 to spend, A little bit more maybe if the headphones look really good. I don't really care about bass this time, because the monsters...

Could anyone tell me the difference between these two different Amazon listings for the TF10? There's a massive price difference - and I was wondering if it was a limited edition, or perhaps the cheaper one doesn't come with the nifty portable case(that's important to me)...

I would like to buy a pair of Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10vi Noise Isolating Earphones w/ Microphone for it's 3D sound stage. But I've been reading about a lot of people having issues with the wires, post logictech acquisition (i.e. wires breaking after 2 days, and constantly needing to buy new...

I ordered the Westone 3 last night, and am super excited to try them. However, I can definitely see myself getting annoyed at how most upper tier IEM's sit on the ear (with the wire looping over the ear). Does anyone have any recommendations as to an IEM with similar characteristics/signature as...

I am looking to find a good pair of headphones to take on plane rides, I been using ms1s for in home use but I find these not very practical on the move as it leaks a lot and no isolation for outside noise. I tried the bose sets and loved the comfort but the quality just doesn't seem to be as...

Hey all,   DavidMahler here.  Beyerdynamic sent over a bunch of headphones for us to try out at Headphones.com.  We were delighted.  The headphone which was the biggest surprise for me personally was the T5P. I have a soft spot for this headphone as I've simply never heard anything which...

My girlfriend is traveling to Hong Kong for business. She has suggested that I find something for her to buy from there. I have been out of the headphone market for a couple years now, so I have no idea what's good out there.   My current headphones are a UE TF10 (molded into a custom IEM)...

Let's talk about the outlook of E11 first, Fiio E11 is consistent special and beautiful  with  wi        with past model E7 which is a lightweight design and give up a dac function and display from E7. The body of E11 is casted by brushed aluminum to achieve lighter weight , only 65g, and the...

Im about to get some SE315s and i was researching them, they are advertised to reduce sound up to 37db. Is that right? heck my electric unplugged is more than that I need to block out a drummer and sound system loud enough to shake a convention center to peices!   Is that right or is teh...

Hello,     I have had Klipsh s4 for about a year now and i think i want to take a step up and get a more expensive pair of IE headphones. Im thinking of getting the Ultimate Ear 700 or the etymotic hf5. How do these compare to the klipsh or any other sub 150 IE headphone. I listen to a...

I got the UE TF10s when they were on sale last year for $100 and had no idea about higher end IEMs at all at the time. After using them for so long, I cant go back to any cheaper ear buds at all now. I was thinking about just getting another pair but they are at $250 normal price off of Amazon...

  There was a time, very recently in terms of human history, when high fidelity promised to free the music lover from the constraints of the concert hall and the local repertoire, allowing him to choose at his whim any orchestra in the world playing any work he desired under the baton of any...

Hey all   so I am looking into getting a decent pair of IEMs, I currently user either my grado sr80i for portable use (open so useless on a train, but love the sound) or my skullcandy FMJ (RUBBISH sound).   I am aiming to spend about $200 USD.   I listen to mostly rock (60-70%)...

So due to some stupid accident, I broke my pair of IE8 =( So now I'm on the hunt.again for another pair of IEM Right now I can't decide getting another pair of ie8 or grab westone 4, I used to own westone 3 and really liked it, is westone 4 a lot better than it? I also absolutely love the fit of...

Well i did the flip flop mod with my TF10 , by unplugging the monitors and switching them to the other cable,and at first listen they sounded horrible. The bass impact was all but gone, the mids were completely recessed and it didn't sound like the TF10. So i felt there was a possibility that...

First off, I was looking at the buying guide by price range ( http://www.head-fi.org/wiki/buying-guide-headphones-by-price-range )   I am looking for a cheap-ish IEM for general use, gym and so on. Currently using PL-30 with my Clip+, occassionally with a cMoy (I am going to get a E7 soon...

I'm new here and this seems like a dope forum but Im selling my iBeats today for 80 to a friend so I'll have around $120 so i was wondering which earphones are better, the UE 500 or CX 500. I know the UEs are about 40-50 dollars more so I'm guessing those will be the better ones? If so are they...

Hello again Head-Fi, its been awhile   About a year and a half ago I started a thread looking for some good starter IEMs and ended up buying the Radius HP-TWF11R Pro DDMs.  And I loved them!  I cared for them like a baby until about a month ago while I was at work my 7 month old knocked them...

  I have a serious question, and i joined because I'm hoping to become part of the community. I really love the bass of the beats by dr dre pros but there are so many bad reviews about them and its hard to tell if the ones you are buying are fake or not. Im looking for a headphone in the...

I was wondering, since black friday is around the corner, is it feasible to buy another TF10 and reshell my current one and it together to form one single custom? Has anyone done this and if so, what are the effects on SQ and will it cost more to do than lets say +1 single driver at companies...

Does anyone know the difference if any between the three different Triple fi 10 offerings? Their website only shows the standard Triple Fi 10. What is different with the pro series and the Vi Series as opposed to the standard Triple Fi 10?

Any recommendations? Any brand stand out in particular? I use the Sennheiser ones on my backups, CX-150s, but I feel like they don't isolate very well.

EDIT: RE0s are yet to arrive. Should I cancel it and get the Klipsch S4's? I listen to hiphop.

Hey guys I will probily go with a dynamic driver but some names have got my attention Some of them seem to have some bass!!! I am a basshead trying to convert to less of one and a bassy ba IEM might just be my solution Thanks

in the UM thread I received no answer so here is a new one:   I´m thinking of having my UE TF10 reshelled (I´m using comply foam and in the long run reshelling just seems the better way) and I have a few questions, I don´t know much about audio and iem´s so it would be nice if you gave me...
