I've done extensive auditioning of Westone 4s, SM3v2, Westone 3, Shure SE535 and other top tier universal BA earphones, but I never seemed to be able to like any of them. I have been a long user of TF10s, and I really enjoy their V-shaped sound signature. I always felt that the other top tier...

Hello there everyone, I am looking for a pair of IEMs that I can use for when I am traveling on the plane or in the car that will give very crisp and positional sound.  I am not an exceptional audiophile, but I am very very particular about my sound when it comes to music and video gaming.  In...

Hi there, like I wrote in the title of the topic I would like to know how comfortable would be wearing some over the ear IEMs while having some bars on the top of the ears. I ask this because I'm tempted of buying the Rock-it Sounds R50 but I'm afraid that I would not be able to wear them...

EDIT: totally put this in the wrong forum.. not sure on how to delete it... sorry about that.

Hi!   Nice forum, this is my first post here. Anyways, I've used Westone UM2 for several years, and finally decided to get some better IEMs. I bought Westone 4R, which was a good improvement in sound quality. However, I have a big problem with 4R. The earpieces (not the cable) seem to be...

Yesterday on Amazon they were 375 and now they are sold out from that vendor and I can only find them for 449. Anyone know a reputable authorized dealer I can snag them from for around 375?

So I'm thinking about buying the Westone 4Rs and I want to hear some alternative options or maybe if there is something better for the price etc. I'd like to keep it around 400 but if I need to spend 50 more bucks to get something decently better than that's fine too

Well managed to lose my 4R on a flight. Was originally a 4, but was upgraded to an R during last warranty repair (had only had it back 2-3 weeks!). So now the mourning period is over, need to either re-purchase or look for something in the same price range but better? Just checking here in case...

All;   Noob poster here, but long time music listener :-). Anyway, my ER4-PTs w/ custom molded tips just got stolen and I need to replace them. While I totally LOVED the clarity and "uncolored" (i.e. neutral) sound of the ER4's, I totally HATED the way the phones and cables stick straight...

This may be VERY difficult to answer (I know its an odd question) but if anyone here has heard both the Westone 4R Quad-Driver IEM and the HifiMan HE-400's, which did you find more enjoyable to use? Is one more musically accurate or fun than the other?   I understand that we're talking...

Hello all, Great community here, before making any purchase for audio equipment this is the first place I come to for advice. Last night I lost the right driver for my Westone 4r's. I wasn't as freaked out about losing the driver as I thought I would be but I'm still bummed that a replacement...

Hi everyone,    The advice here is always great, so I thought I would ask since I'm about to jump to something new.   Currently what I own are   TriFi10s with Fiio cord and Comply tips Etys hf3 I think. Audio Tech M50s (the straight cord)   I've problems will all of them, the...

Hi just wondering if anybody knows of a good small portable amp to pair with these,already got the fiio e6 and e11 but not really into them would like something a lot clearer and more oomph in it. Was looking at the c&c bh amp but not sure? Thanks!

I seek headphones/earbuds specifically for listening to binaural beats and relaxation programs while lying in bed, which will inevitably include lying on my side, head on a pillow. Would you be so kind as to suggest some models with this specific attribute? My budget is flexible and sound...

i just tried the westone 4r and i really like its lush thick sweet sound.  But i find them uncomfortable, fiddly. Also i would like a bit more bass extension and a little less thump. Any suggestions in an alternative.

Hi everyone, my big day approacheth and, as the strain relief rubber on my Klipsch X10s is starting to split, I thought I ought to start planning a replacement set as a treat to myself. I've tried Shure 535s and found them to be a bit too coloured and warm sounding for my liking. I love the...

hey guys... i know headphones and IEM's are two different kind of setups when its up to critical listening... I have a pair of westone 4's and i thought of upgrading it to a full size headphone recently... so initially i decided to pick 3 out em... Sennheiser HD600 , HD598 , HD600......  but i...

Hi,   New member, registered to see if anyone can give some advice.   As the the title suggests, I currently own a pair of MS2 headphones, which I love.   I am now looking at replacing a somewhat used and abused pair of Sennheiser CX400 which have served well over the past six or so...

Hello everyone! I'm new to Head-fi and have a dumb question. I'm trying to get a pair of decent in-ear headphones. How is the Westone 4 compares to the custom IEMs like the Alclair Reference? Is the difference worth the $200 more for the Alclair? By the way, I listen to the classic mostly...

Just getting back in the hobby right now, so I don't have any equipment right now. But I'm looking for a portable setup that I can bring anywhere(from my house to the library etc.) So I'm kinda stuck with two or three options(Can't do custom iem): Either get the FitEar To Go 334 without a...

Hi All,   My favorite IEM right now is the TDK BA200 - this is really an awesome IEM and the one I like best by a good margin. I have / had others (HF5, A161P, Rockit R-50, Super 5, Monster Nergy, VModa Vibe, etc...), but the sound signature, quality and presentation of the TDK BA200 is the...

Hi All, I've had IE8s for 2 years and need to replace them (too much wear and tear / accidents unfortunately). I love the outstanding soundstage and bass of the IE8s, so looking to buy IE80s with Toxic's silver cable which would run about $550. Both would come overseas to the US so I wanted to...

I am looking for a new pair of IEM. I listen to alot of classic rock, some acoustic, jazz, country,metal, classical.. so pretty much everything but the majority is the classic rock. I would perfer them to have detachable cables and be as neutral sounding as possible. Soundstage/Presnetation and...

Jump to 3:50 if you're not interested in the unboxing.     He has Shure SE535 and a few other expensive headphones... What a spoiled brat. Who does he think bought him those IEMs?   update:   Quotes:   "Dr Dre supposedly, I guess he's pretty smart because he can...

  Hello All,     I have a pair of Westone UM3X, great IEM, but a little bass heavy for me.  Was in San Jose Airport and stopped by the InMotion store and listened to a pair of the Westone 4, I was impressed, larger sound stage than UM3X, with less of a bassy SQ.     But, thinking about...
