Hi experts,   As my last in-ear headphones are broken, I'm getting a new and hopefully, better pair. I listen to almost only classical music (Everything, opera, orchestral, chamber, choral, solo, and even organ quite often) and sometimes pop but not rock, but I will need to use them for...

The UM3X is a great iem and I do find myself pretty enchanted by it's sound.  That said, I'm not head over heels for it so I'd like to move on and get my hands (ears?) on something else.  Small annoyances are the size of the jack as I have to use an adaptor when I use my iPhone 4S and the length...

Haven't been following head-fi for a while now (used to be a constant lurker), I've noticed that head direct doesn't sell the RE-252's anymore. I thought it was a great iem when I owned one, loved the neutrality with a very slight peak at midrange. Anyone know where to get one? Or is there...

I am looking for a good quality and sweets sounding IEM's to purchase, I dont listen to rapp, hip hop but more so classical, rock, vocals etc. I plan to use these with a headphone amp (cmoy).   Basically what I am looking for:   1. Something with good low and high ends   2. Nice...

Tossing around the idea of getting one of the two...again. Well, actually the Westone 4R.   Really impressed by Shure's cost to repair the SE535. $84 per channel and $16 for cable. Just replacements I imagine but that seems pretty fair.   Does anyone know what Westone's costs are like...

The UM3X isn't as enjoyable as it was when I first got it.  The soundstage is kind of a turn-off for me:/ Does anyone have a suggestion of an IEM I should get aside from the SE535 or the UM3X?

lets hear your thoughts. Im not sure which one to get

Hi Folks,   First post here but have visited on and off for ages getting advice on what to buy.  I have a 32GB titanium Cowon S9 and have owned it for a couple of years I think.  I went through the process of re ripping my music into flac and now my S9 is full.  What a machine the S9 is...

Hi friends, I have recently purchased an iphone and have gotten a pair of headphones with it. But I didn't like the sound quality of headphones. So i want to get a new pair of headphones. Sound quality should be awesome, light weight, needs to be attractive and stylish, heavy bass required...

  XBA-4 Review vs Sony MDR-EX1000: Two Flagships Pass in the Night   April 2013 EDIT: Updated with notes on the 7550 and XBA-40! See post #3   Introduction: It’s A Sony!   This review is a rather lengthy comparison of two Sony flagship in-ear monitors: the MDR-EX1000 vs the XBA-4...

IEM newbie checking in. These are my second attempt. The first was a pair of Philips SH9750 that performed so poorly I just about totally wrote off the use of IEMS.   Got to listen to the EHP-100 and it was clear instantly they played on a different level and had a tonal balance I has been...

Hello everyone!   My band has been playing lately with in-ear monitors, and my guitarists and singer all bought themselves some Shure Se535s. I had been using a low-end pair of Klipsch s4i's plugged directly into the console's headphone input so that I could monitor not only all of the...

Ex-lurker here. I have a question about the JHA16 and the Hidition Tears 6 Pro   Backstory Music I listen to: I listen to a variety of music, everything from pop to rock to classical... so my playlist is all over. Though I don't listen to much techno or rap.  Current IEMs in-use...

Hello guys I have a pair of westone 4 which I bought approx 2 years ago but the right side hasnt been in good condition since half a year ago. At times it would give a softer sound than the other side and two days ago it even broke down. Just no sound atm.    Any ideas where I can get it...

I keep seeing these "Deal Alert" threads popping up frequently, so I reckon we're due for a single thread for them.      Here's what you should post:   The model and price. The link! LOCATION! For example, if you're in the EU and it's an EU store, make sure you say this, as people will...

Hello head-fi!   So I recently purchased the Westone 4's and have been listening to them (un-amped) for almost 2 weeks.  I am coming from a pair of relatively bass heavy IEMs (xears XE200PROs) and am enjoying every part of the increased clarity that I get from.  I'm still getting used to the...

So I was planning on upgrading from my RE-Zeros and I was considering the SM3 Earsonics because of what I've heard about them but the thing is, I live in a place where there's no dedicated headphone stores or anything of the sort so I have not heard any of the headphones I am considering. I am...

Hi all just bought some westone 4r and was wondering do you where them like this in the video   http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=GB#/watch?v=HYWMceTJ5Zg   I thought you bend the memory wire over the ear or do you just keep it straight ? Can anyone help me on this   ...

hey guys right nw im using a westone4... and im pretty much loving the instrumantle spration in those.... + the proffesional sound they make. but one of my friend told me that ie80 do a better job than the w4s.. im kinda confuzed r8 hear... i would love to hear a lil bass punch on my music but...

Guys i gt my w4s one week ago.... and they were pretty fine... but just frm the begining i knew smthing isnt right abt theas.... and yesterday i figured out that their is a little driver miss match on mine.... its mostly about the bass punch!  im not an a audio pro.. but the bass seems to be not...

I know the title sounds funny, but let me elaborate. Westone 4 has awesome reviews, that being said, the iem has the perfect amount of bass deep and punchy, not over exaggerated on the face boomy... they say the iem's bass is the way it shud be. Clarity and soundstage is top notch. Sound is...

Doesn't look like there's a thread for this yet so I figured I would start one as I just received mine. I took some pictures for everyone. The quality isn't very good since I don't have a digital camera so my apologies! Initial impressions on sound - sounds...

Been listening for 1-2 hours since received this morning.....   Pretty remarkable IEM.  The first words out of my mouth to describe would be incredibly detailed, transparent, balanced and natural sounding.   It is a different animal in that it has this airiness where all the harmonics...
