Hey,   Is there any place where I can buy the IE8, Westone 3, or the Monster Turbine Copper for cheap? I bought an IE8 for a friend last year, and got about a $100 discount from some sponsor here but forgot who it was.   Thanks

Hi Everyone!   I will be upgrading from my Beats tours and i've read a lot about different IEM's on threads in here and narrowed down to these IEM's:   -W3 -UM3x or UM3x with detachable cable -SM3   which one is the best regarding my criteria? - SQ wise -can be worn for long...

So, I am looking to buy a top-tier triple driver IEM. I have narrowed it down to two of the most popular models, the Shure SE530 and the Westone 3. (but I am also open for suggestions)   I just wanted to get some advice from you all about what you think would be best for me.   I listen...

See, I've had these wonderful IEM's for a good ol year now and I've been very happy with my purchase. Been treating them very well too, a bit afraid for them to mess up (I still can't believe the cable isn't switchable though)  so. But for some reason I've now come to percieve a slight...

So, I've decided to upgrade my listening experience by looking into my first set of higher-end ($250-400) IEMs. Currently, my everyday workhorse set is a pair of Super.fi 5 EBs. I do listen to quite a bit of electronica, industrial, and some beat-driven (i.e. no or few vocals) hip-hop and...

I bought a set of Westone 3s off eBay and there seems to be some attenuation/obstruction in the left channel.     With both tips inserted, it feels like the audio is off-centre and biased to the right channel.  Listening to each tip individually, the volume in the left sounds lower and...

  Having spent the last 3 weeks the W3 I thought I’d share my impressions of them. Build & Fit Regarding build nothing feels wrong here, the iems are well put together and have a great feel to them. The cables are thin yet supple and the earpieces seem well formed. I’d be a bit more...

hi everyone, it has been a month since i've started my ultimate search to find the best Earcanal headphone that suits my ears and my kind of music the most. at the end i've come to these 4 hi-fi earcanals, which seem to be the best universal fit earcanal headphones ( if i'm wrong please...

Just wondering if any of you head fi'ers with iPhones mess with the equalizer settings in the ipod section? If so, what do you think about it? What settings do you use, if any?

Hey everyone, just wondering if I could get some recommendations on a portable rig. I am coming from a full-size mostly background, using the HD650, AD900 etc.. but I need something for when I am out on my runs/exercising/shopping etc. I am looking at spending around $300 max. I also realize...

    Hii guys... I just joined the forum. I'm rather new to this audio business, and im looking forward to learn more about audio with you guys.     I get bored of those crappy headphone like the candys, and the cheap headphone out there. So few weeks ago, I decided to buy a pair of goods...

Well I just received my Westone 3 headphones as 'upgrades' to my Triple Fi 10s which had a faulty cable. Finally I am in a position to offer my own opinion on the quality because I can compare them. Excuse my unprofessional rant and strange descriptions and terminology - I am a layman, but...

I have the IE8s ordered but since theyre on backorder i'm still debating what to get. I was set on the IE8s but i hear people mention the RE0s in almost every thread. The two Westones are also apparently very good. So which do you prefer and why?

I'm in the market for a pair of high-end IEMs. Something akin to the westone 3, earsonics SM3, shure sm535, etc. While any of these models would be a good purchase right now, I am curious if I'd be better off waiting until it's closer to Xmas. Do you anticipate newer, *BETTER* models to be...

I own a pair of Shure e500's and they are literally falling apart.  The cables are cracking in about 12 different places.  So I'm in the market for a new pair of IEMs.   I've tried the IE8's and the SE535s but didn't like them that much... I'm thinking about trying the Westone 3's as they...

Can anyone here recommend some good earbuds with TONS of bass, I listen to mostly Trance, Prog house, & Dubstep

I am a big fan of multiple driver IEMs because I like my TF10 so much.  Can you guys tell me what other universals have at least 3 drivers.

hey guys, i know im gonna come off as a big noob and head fi vets are probably gonna be annoyed by this question but what are my options for GOOD cans at 200?   im not a noob in the music world or anything, my primary is w3's, had the se530's, um1, um2, and the alessandro. But honestly, im...

I use the comply foam tips and they give a decent fit. Can you get custom fit tips made? How would I go about doing it? How expensive is it ballpark? They sound great and everything I'd just like to get an exact perfect fit.

Anyone else notice this?   As much as a try to find the "best," "most fitting," or otherwise "ideal" earphone out there, I keep finding myself wanting a range of products.  It's not so much that I prefer different products for different genres.  It's simply that no one product offers the...

There is an audiologist just a few blocks away that carries westone products and includes the price of the ear mold in the total cost. They can get the whole Westone line.   I had originally planned on getting some Westone 3s after hearing so much about the amount of bass they have. I'm...

I'm looking at the Westone 3, but I already have a pair of headphones that I like a lot, the Denon AH-D1001. Will the upgrade to an in-ear monitor like this one be worth the money, or will the listening experience be pretty much the same? Thanks in advance people!

The Westone website doesn't seem to list a UK distributor. What's the best way of purchasing some 3's whilst ensuring I'll receive product warranty. Hope it's possible otherwise it'll mean forking out a fair bit more for 535's through one of the many authorised distributors!

How is this for an upgrade?   I've been using my Triple Fi 10's for about three and a half years now without any single problem. They seem to be very comfortable with the Comply foam. I like that foam so much that I now want to make sure to get only IEMs if they come with specific foam!  ...

Lately I've been having some trouble with one of the channels of my iems. It seems as there is a short near the top of the cable on the right side. The sound will cut out occasionally and with a little re-adjustment it'll reappear. Unfortunately, I am outside of the warranty so it'll be ~$200 to...
