I bought a pair of Sf5Pro at least three years ago, but have not used it much. I prefer the sound of Etymotic ER4S much better. This Sunday I saw them on my draw, so I listened to them for a while. I actually would like to give them a try. However, the cable is getting rigid maybe because of the...

Ultimate Ears In-Ear Reference Monitors Review       I have read a lot about the Ultimate Ears In-Ear Reference Monitors since they were released with great intrigue, wanting to hear UEs interpretation of reference sound.  I wondered if the neutral presentation would be something I would...

I've had a set of UE Triplefi Pros for that few years and have always enjoyed them when I can get the earbuds to seat correctly in my ear canal. I also have a set of ER4Ps which fit significantly better. By "fit better" I mean that they stay seated / sealed for a longer period of time. The UE...

So at the store the other day, I ask a lady if she needs anything else for her iPod to go with the charger she was buying, mainly suggesting a better pair of headphones as I saw the tell-tale white cable of the Apple earphones around her neck. She said, "You think you have something better than...

So I'm here in Thailand, and the cable on my UE IEMs is starting to break. I bought a replacement before I left (I'm going to be away from home for a few months), but the week before I came my old one broke. So I replaced it with the new one I had, and decided that was good enough. Now the...

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know the specific impedance of the attenuator from the Triple.Fi package. My DIY dual L4562 amp are rather powerful and not ideal for some sensitive IEMs and headphones and I was using the airline attenuator to reduce this sensitivity so that a single nick on...

I need some classical music earphones under $100. I have the Bose IE2. But, I need somethings with 3/4 ammount of bass, 4/4 treble, and I don't really know mids. That's the best I can describe it.

Hi guys, I am currently looking to buy out some custom In-Ear monitors and I was wondering wich of theses two models were the best choice I could make, I know for sure that UE has alredy a great reputation where 1964 Ears is a starting company. I read the review of both theses ears and the UE 4...

Hi, which tips are the best for FX500? Which offers good isolation without compromising the SQ. The stock tips are just horrible. Thanks.

I have been using UE 200s for a while now and I want an upgrade under 100$. I really like the look of the silver Metrofi and UE 500. I can afford the UE 600s but if it is not too much better than the other two than I would prefer to save my money and get what's cheaper. I mainly want to know...

Am i right that these are better for comfort than the 500 and 600s plus should have better sound?   Would these be a good choice of the three for someone wanting clear, detailed sound with good highs and mids and DOES NOT want booming peaky (30-70hz) bass?     Thnx

Hello, I want to spend more than $1,000 on an item I can't return and have never tested before. Before I do I'd like to know if what JHaudio and Ultimate Ears claim is true? Do they really produce the best sound quality IEMs in the world. Their marketing is great "more is better" and the "famous...

First off, hi I'm new! lol   I really need a pair of in ear buds that fits/stays in my ear haha I have a pretty small ear canal and I've held back purchasing recommendations from friends because I have a feeling they won't fit/stay in my ear... I'm so tired of always pushing the ear...

TL;DR version - Cheap packaging, cheap feel and look to them. They look very Chinese. Don't judge a book by it's cover. They sound super clear. Full of clarity, no mud or muffle. Bass is indeed there. Slightly behind the mix, but after a better fit within my ear, the bass improved and I found it...

Simple answer would be: Wait to see.   But i want some advice from you guys: Experiences or what not, out the box.   Personally, out of the box the W2's sounded OK, however the bass was terrible. (Although i didn't have the perfect seal then) I could still hear the bass being...

I think I cannot rescue my UHP336 anymore, and reshelling (if there is anyway) is too expensive and nonviable an option for me :(   Thus most likely I would be looking for a new IEM to replace my dead UHP336.   Currently, I am deciding between these few IEMs: -Meelec A151 -Etymotic MC5...

I am unfortunately back in the market for some good IEMs.  I had some UE SF5 Pros that provided a few years of faithful heavy service and I was quite happy with, but alas, the casing for one of the buds shattered one day.  Then I decided to try out the cheap root with some RE0s, and was pretty...

Aside from the UERMs it seems that their entire lineup isn't getting much love these days. As someone shopping for high end customs, I'm wondering if their upper models (again aside from UERM) simply can't compete with recent offerings from JH, Westone, UM, and the like. Or is this more of a...

I'm heading off on a month long trip and my daughter just broke my Ultimate Ears.  I will get them fixed when I return.    I've read a number of threads and searched the board looking for budget IEM's (and found the "Buying IEMs or ear buds or portable phones? DON'T START A NEW THREAD. Ask...

Hello I want to know the diff between these 2 earphones in terms of soundstage which have bigger soundstage. For neutrality. which one is more balanced sounding   Thanks Matthew

This is a review of the Head-Direct RE0. I got them as a review sample a week ago, I have fully burned them in (50-60 hours), and listened to them for many hours a day. I have tried the provided tips, as well as other tips I have at home, and I am finally ready to write what I think of the...

I need some good in ear headphones that actually fit in your ear (no skullcandy) for working out.  I'm looking at the $50 range or so. I want good sound quality but the more important thing is that they stay in my ear while jogging or anything like that.

So I was at the mall today and I saw an Ultimate Ears headphone and I was wondering which model it was...   1- The headphones themselves were kind of really huge with transparent replaceable cables. 2- It said SuperFi, but I couldn't catch which one 3- The box had a zebra pattern on it...
