Is there anything better than the Atrios in terms of bass and isolation under $400? Any help would be greatly appreciated (I have lurked this site every time I decided to replace the Atrios).   I really like the heavy bass (I listen to techno/house) and the great isolation using Shure...

Yes I am a basshead and when i got my beats by dr dre studio for christmas i really liked it. but i noticed that on some songs that the headphones sounded harsh and unclear. although i still really love them, I was wondering if there is something much better than Beats studio by clarity and how...

So I bought some Westone 3's a few weeks ago and I only used them inside. Then, for chrismas, I received an iPod touch so I got to use them outside and I found out that the left earpiece sounds quite a bit lower than the right one but only when they get cold. Let's say its -7 celcius outside, I...

I've been using my Ultimate ears TripleFi 10 for quite some time now, and I absolutly love them, but I wished the had more bass. I listen to a lot of electronica music (trance, dubstep, house, and electro) and I feel the IEM don't really satisfy my bass needs.   So, I am considering selling...

I have not yet decided how I feel about the impactful bass of the Westone 3. Everything else about the monitor stands out as being nearly perfect. I just did as an experiment a simple EQ adjustment with the iPOD (no amp)......where I just put on the EQ setting Bass Reducer............I'm not...

Hey guys,   Great site, been checkin it out for a while and just reading. Leaned a lot to be honest! Finally decided on what to buy and need some help.   Decided on the IE8 as they cater to the basshead in me and also seem to have good soundstage and balance. Compared them with shure...

The new Audio Technica's Triple Driver IEM - ATH-CK100 has been out for quite sometime. However there are very little reviews or impressions here in head fi, mostly because of other attractive options like the Sennheiser IE8 and the Westone 3. Seeing how little people owns this IEM in head fi, I...

Got my Westone 3's this weekend, and I have been in love ever since. The sound is absolutely perfect for me, just enough bass, but not too much (with the long foam tips -- its amazing to me so much changes between the long and short tips). I have noticed that they seem to be a bit louder/prefer...

UPDATE:  December 18th 2010   Since posting this review I have had the pleasure of getting some new equipment.  So far I have purchased:   Manley Classic 300B amplifier Sony MDR R10 (bass light) Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm Grado RS1i Grado RS1 balanced Grado RS2i    I...

Hi guys,   Back on the scene again with a craving for something new, currently im using a fuze with digizoid zo and switching between the Audeo PFE and hje900. Looking to offload both of them and switch to something else (may keep one but by selling i free up some funds).  I like both of my...

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...

Gonna try my luck with the Westone 3's. Anyone have a specific site they like ordering these from? Possibly know about a coupon or something? Would prefer one with a generous return policy since im not totally set on IEMs

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...

I have some shure SE115 atm.... They are quite good but I would like some better ones...   I am looking for :   Excellent bass > Deep, good PRAT   Good mids > preferably not too recessed mids   Highs > Non sibilant, Dont mind slightly recessed highs, find harsh / excessive treble...

Hi,   It's been a long while since i posted on head-fi... i'm looking to rebuild my portable setup, and decided to get the Westone 4 after a few good years with ER-4's. Earphone solutions do not ship to my country for some reason (Israel), so i'm trying to see if there are any...

With alot of new Westone UM1 owners (myself included), and a solid amount of fans for the Westone UM2's, I thought it'd be appropriate to start a "Westone UM1 / UM2 / 3 Appreciation Thread"! I just received the UM1's today, and I'm awed with how great they sound, for the price I paid. They...

Not sure if this is allowed or not.  If not, feel free to close or delete this thread.  I just put my Klipsch Custom 3 up for sale on Amazon for $75 in case anyone is interested.  All original packaging and accessories included.  The only problem with them is that I cut away a small portion of...

Hi all,   I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions or recommendations on some "fun" high-end IEMs.   (I've been reading about the FX700s and Westone 3s - has anyone heard both of these and can give me a brief comparison on them?)   Any help is appreciated!

I am after new IEMs (I thought of buying a new source at first).   Currently I am using Triple Fi 10s w/custom Audio Null cables, I am wanting a more fuller soundstage and a `wow` effect of further forward everything.   Will be using with a iPod touch 4G. LOD. Portable amp.  ...

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

I very rarely stuff any headphones in my pocket when I'm not listening to them, but a couple of weeks ago, I put my Westone 3s in a cargo pocket of some shorts I was wearing. This morning, I was looking for them, but they weren't in their case where they almost always are. That was when I...

Let me preface this by saying that my taste for sound reproduction devices is very simple--accuracy, neutrality, defined, clear, no hype or dip in any frequency range, as deep a soundstage and expansive stereo imaging to accommodate all recording's original intent, fast transient response...

This thread is created to avoid derailing already-established threads. It also provides a platform for all who wish to talk about this subject.   I personally believe that BA can crank out a ton of details, but its naturalness and ease at producing music cannot reach that of a dynamic driver.

Hey all, been lurking on this forum for almost a year now, but finally decided to join the community.  So here are some of the gear I have right now.   Desktop Setup Source:  HTR Music Streamer II+ USB DAC Amp:  Little Dot MkIII with M8100/CV4010 upgraded driver tubes, a pair of Voshod...
