Hey guys im looking to get either the Shure SE215 or the Wetstone 1..is the wetstone 1 worth the extra 20$?   Also is the monster turbine better or worse than either of these?   Thank you 

I started with the e3c then got SE210, have loves the 210 for about 2 years.   I want an IEM with a negative profile so i can sleep more comfortably with them. The natural next purchase seems to be the SE315, but i would like to avoid the 200 mark. I am skeptical of the 215's because of the...

I've had a pair of UM1's for about 4 years now and just recently the sound went out on the right side.  It's not completely out as there is very little sound coming out of that side when the volume is turned up very high.  I've tried cleaning with the ear loop that came with the headphones, but...

im new to this, but i need more bass for my um1. if this could not be helped, then i should just sell this pair. but if an amp can help, what would you guys recommend? will the fiio e11 do the trick? please advice 

After reading all of the posts about the new Westone 4 and seeing my broken UM1 with the cord unwound slightly and the left tip that falls off, I've been thinking about buying a new pair. Yeah.... I stepped on them by accident and broke off the entire left tip, fortunately it still works great...

I am new to headphone, full size/portable. I am seeking for a change in setup as my UM1 is beyond repair. I bought ibasso D4Mamba with ipod touch. I would like to ask for recommendation on which headphone should i get in replacement of UM1. My budget is ~$100.

Every time I think I'm done here, I come crawling back...   My NE-7M's came apart two days ago. I thought I was going to get something cheaper (<$100) because I lose or break all my phones (KSC-35, 2x UM1s, NE-7M), but obviously I still have the bug.   I primarily listen to all manner of...

Currently I use VicFirth Isolation Headphones for my ipod or monitor mix whenever I play. Unfortunately they change the sound a good bit and they restrict volume quite a bit to prevent you from destroying your ears. Also, I would much prefer something that isn't so bulky.   So I've been...

After about 2 years, I somehow managed to fry my UM1s in the gym and would have replaced them straight away with the same, but I live in South Korea and the due to exchange rate fluctuations the price has almost doubled here. Fortunately it seems that this is not the case for all brands of IEMs...

Only other quality phones I've owned have been the Westone UM1 and UM2, as I'm rather new to this.  Neither came with an adapter of any sort.   I'd appreciate it if anyone could explain why these adapters are included and which I should use.  ...
