My girlfriend got an iPod Touch a few days ago, amazing device, but as I was very curious about the sound, I compared it to my Sony A818, and I was surprised that the sound of the iPod is not that different from the Sony. The Sony a little warmer and less digital in sound, but the difference is...

I bought these a while ago as backups to my UM3x's.  Got quite a good price on ebay.  My expectations were not great.  To my surprise, they sounded...pretty good!  Though they had nowhere near the bass of the 3x's, they still had a recognizable Westone sound signature, the overall sound was more...

Hi! i hope you all doing well.... i have a 2G iphone 4GB and i have a question do you need the headphones with the mic because i have standard sony earphones and they dont work in the iphone its pissing me off alot. so do you need the iphone headphones with the mic adaptor to listen to music...

Intro ViSang, one of the daughter companies of Chinese earphone OEM VSonic, has already released one budget-oriented in-ear earphone this year, the R03. In my review, I concluded that the R03 is a very capable performer in the sub-$100 category. Now, however, ViSang has launched the R02, an...

I just got a pair of UM1's and my initial impression is that they are much more clarity than my PX100's (both due to driver and isolation) but a limited soundstage, less so than my HD465 (as expected). So let's do a poll, it's fun ! Favorite means balancing sound quality and cost of use. That...

Hey Guys & Gals. I Have been browsing this forum on and off for a year or more. Last year i brought some ie6. The hope was i could sleep with them on, problem is the over ear cable is uncomfortable for me. So i started searching for a new pair and ended up with the q jays because they are so...

Hey, I just bought a new mp3 player which is the SanDisk Sansa Clip+ and since the provided earphones are not very good, I want to buy some new. ;) First of all, I'm from Germany so brands such as Head-Direct are unfortunately not available for me. I don't want to pay more than 35 EUR for...

I used to run with a EP-630 but it's seal was so damn good (i rigged up a dual flange thing) that I couldn't hear traffic and other various noises I should hear. And the cable kept getting shorter as I grew and my pants went lower...Also, i lost them at school :( From then I moved to a PX100...

Hey Head-Fi,   Before i was robbed, i owned a set of SoundMagic PL30s and developed a liking for the over ear position (the sound quality was okay). But since i no longer possess the SMs i'm looking at stepping it up a notch. i'm a little overwhelmed and confused on contradicting reviews, i...

Hello there.   I have a budget of £100 (around $200) for a pair of IEMs which will be used with my iPod when going to and from University on the train and listening to at night at home. My dog chewed up my Shure SE115's and whilst I could get the same again, I'm looking for something a...

well like the title says im looking for some IEMS that are durable and have good quality sound i dont know which to get here are some of the music i listen to:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1TYzUOjfk (KPOP) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1TYzUOjfk (KPOP)...

My old earpones died and i need new I have been thinking about a few IEM MEElectronics M6 Klipsch IMAGE S2 (if i find a cheap one) MEElectronics M9 Hi-Fi I listen to rock and metal most of the time, and i love deep bass If you know some good IEM, you can recommend them

Last week i ordered both UE 700 and Klipsch S4 from Amazon. 700s have really good clarity and mids but lack some power on the low end. the S4 got really nice bass but the lyrics seem to be muddy. Are there any IEMs for 100$ which combine the bass from S4 with the clarity of 700s? I'm willing to...

My old headphones broke so now I'm looking to buy another pair that would be of a better sound quality. I have a budget of about 100$, but I could spend a little more if it's really worth it. I'm mostly listening to trance and ambient, but I also listen to other genres occasionally. It's also...

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...

im looking for a pair of iems under 100 dollars that are good for listening to lossless music genre i listen to are mainly metal/rock/classic rock and some rap..only my favs bands are in lossless which would be metal and rock   i do like good solid bass not booming but like a depth to the...

Hi All,   I am have had Visang R03 over the last 4 months. I just need additional IEM for traveling in 70-100$ price range.   I read several reviews on head-fi, but still cannot decide between Fischer eterna v1 or RE0.   I know that both of them have quite different signature.  ...

Howdy Gentleman,   I have been reading the posts on here for awhile and have started exploring what I like in sound. A recent discovery that surprised me quite a bit was the Apple IEM. Incredible fit, presence, and clarity in mids and highs. I also liked the darkness in sound... but there...

I'm about to purchase a new Cowon J3 as I've heard so many great things about it and Cowon in general. Now I'm just curious about the perfect pair of earbuds to go with it. I hear that the Sennheiser CX500 are great and I see that Amazon is selling them for $35 (down from $120!), but I know...

Hey guys,   I decided to replace the Senn CX300's that I've had for about a year now with something nicer. Overall, I am pretty happy with them, except none of the included tips quite fit me comfortably; they'd often fall out of my ears. In terms of the actual sound, I can't really compare...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what a good, relatively cheap IEM is for metal? Because of the way metal is suppose to sound, I would presume a harsh sounding IEM would be great, I like the harsh intense sound in my ears anyways, I don't like laid back sounding IEM's,   Now don't get me...

Well due to some rather odd but all too familiar situation ( tripped over my decent headphones ) I need to get a new set for a pretty small amount of cash. I'm not sure if this question is appropriate for these forums mainly because of the large amount of posts on more expensive headphones but I...

What is the best Universal IEM? My budget is under <$500.00   I listen to: Techno, Rap, Dance, R&B, Rock, a bit of Jazz and other genres.   What do you think I should get and what will last a long time in terms of how good it is.

I'm a casual listener looking for a set of earphones that can cater to my needs. I listen mainly to metal/rock (i.e. - Metallica, Trivium, Velvet Revolver etc.), with the occasional dance/electronic (i.e. - Daft Punk, Justice)   I'm not familiar with any audio terminology so I'll try my best...

I've been scanning a variety of threads, seeing that I am looking for earphones to replace the current ones (generic HTC that came with my G1).  They are not IEMs and as a result have generally poor sound, especially when outside where it's noisy (I'm in the city).  One of my major reasons for...
