Hi guys,   this is my first post on the forum.  Fantastic info, well done!   I am just looking into getting some IEM's, it will be my first pair.  I decided to step it up from the stock standard iphone buds.  They will mainly be for working out, I lift weights and do plyometric's and...

Hello, I'm new to this forum but have been reading quite a bit about IEMs for the last few weeks. I have a few in mind, and have pulled the trigger on one set, but want to learn some more and get another set in the very near future. I've based my decision largely on this site, and in large part...

Hey guys, so i am buying new IEMS. Not from USA, so harder with shipping, finding what i need, etc.. Now price is <250$. And don't ask what sound i prefer, because the only decent IEMS i used were Klipsch S3, and that's it ;)   Now looking at great review thread I just took all IEMs which...

Hi,   Just wondering how the VSonic GR07 prices are in Singapore compared to having them shipped to the US.  Also, since I've never been to Singapore, is it standard practice to negotiate the best price?   Thanks!

First off, I know there are already a bunch of threads like these but hopefully mine is a little more specific, so anyway... I've been lookin around online for a new pair of in-ear headphones recently since my most recent pair blew out on me. This would be my first higher end in-ear purchase...

Hi, this is my first post but I started reading this (wonderful  ) forum months ago... I'm going to buy a new pair of IEMs but I can't decide which one is the best in the 250€ price range... My library is 90% composed of rock, hard rock and metal music. I'm searching for something that...

Hello, I recently purchased a pair of Bowers & Wilkins C5 earphones and so far I haven't really been too satisfied with them; that being said they haven't really been burned in yet. The lows just seem a little muddy and the mids are very poor for this price point, I've also noticed that cymbals...

I am in the market for a new pair of IEMs. I listen mostly to Jazz (Apple lossless files) and will be using an iPhone 3GS as a source (and amp?). I have never owned IEMs, but I guess I am more on the analytical side (and if some coloration is necessary, I would opt for the warm+sweet) and plan...

hi, i recently put my ultimate ears tf 10s through the wash so i need some more headphones.   i had these before logitech bought the company. i loved the sound signature with prominent top end   should i get the same phones again (considering they are under logitech now) or go for...

My beloved ER4s died and I'm in search mode. I loved the clean details and the isolation in noisy work environments the 4s gave. I used a Xin Macro 4 with bass boost and got outstanding performance for the cost of the etys. So in the $300 range, suggestions to consider that would let me remove...

I'm assuming based on what I have read about the Q701's, that they should sound somewhat like my beloved GR01. Has anybody heard both the Q or K 701 or 702 and a TWFK based IEM? Can anybody directly compare them? I'm looking for neutral, and detailed with good extension on both ends, but with...

Just got my GR01 in the mail. I played claire de lune and the sound is pretty darn good. Very impressed with these earphones.  I do have one complaint: I am hearing very static buzz in the background even if the music is not playing. I am plugging my GR01 directly into my macbookpro so that...

At the moment, I am using Ety HF5s with either an iBasso P4 or an O2 (iPod Classic 160GB as the source) as my portable rig. I listen exclusively to classical (orchestral, chamber and opera) and jazz. Whilst I am happy with the speed and resolution of the HF5s, I sometimes find the sense of scale...

Hi eveyone   This is my first post here. I want to buy a new in-ear, i listen only rock music and my budget is 300 € and i'm like in-ear with a flat response and i have a doubt for rock i buy dinamic armature or balanced armature ?, sorry for my bad English.   Thanks, Carlo

(Vsonic GR01 / GR07 mk2 vs Rock It Sounds R-50 vs Monster Miles Davis Trumpet IEM which one has the best bass sound quality ? For Hip hop, rap, electronic, rock which one has the best high sound quality? For female vocal, violin.. I like led zeppelin ,Female vocal. And orchestra ( especially...

if anybody has both of these headphones, i would appreciated if they could post the comparisons between the both. and is there a significant difference between the mkI versions of these headphones?

Hi guys, i've recently lost my Aurvana IEM 2, and i need a new pair of IEM.  Budget is 200$, but i can also spend something less. XD After some months reading every thread and review here, I'm still unable to take a decision, so, I'm in your hands.   I listen mostly to post-rock...

Review - Rock It Sounds R-50   Short Intro This will be a review of the R-50, which uses a well known Knowles TWFK Dual Armature BA driver. The same driver used on the ATH-CK10, UE700, FA DBA-02 (both versions), Brainwavz B2, Q-Jays and some else. From these, I'd only had the chance to...

Hi,   I bought some GR01s recently, which have unscrewable ear pieces.   They came unscrewed and without me realising the filter and cage fell out.    Anyone got any idea how to get a hold of some new ones? I'm in the UK, so the headphones aren't available here. I bought them off...

I'm trying to get into IEM's since I have a steady closed can (KEF M500), and a steady open can (MDR MA900).  I've heard some people (Head-Fi'ers mainly) say that full sized cans are simply better than IEM's but it seems that I have to try it out myself.  Why can't IEM's beat full sized if...

I’ve been thinking about buying in-ear headphones, IEMs/Earbuds/Earclips/Earhooks. I am currently searching for a pair that is under $200. Some factors I will be considering:   UPDATE: I'm deciding between the VSonic GR07 and the Phonak Audeo PFE122. Please cast your votes in the poll and/or...

It's a pretty simple question, no need to argue, or say which IEM's are the best, or get into any burn-in debates. I was just wondering if most people picked different sounding IEM's for different genres or different moods, or if most people picked a certain sound signature and stuck with it for...

What would be a good choice for IEMs around 200$ or less that sound close to the AKG Q701s that I have? I was looking at the BA Etymotics, and the Brainwavz B2, and maybe the UE Triple fi, but I was worried about the cable durability there. Would these be good picks?   I have V-moda M80s...

Hi guys, first time poster, long-time lurker here.   I'm basically after some advice from the experts of Head-Fi on what to do next really, my 21st is coming up and I'm looking for some audio gear! I'll admit I'm a bit of a noob in terms of audiophilia and hi-fi, but I'm an undergrad...
