I have owned the UE SF5pro and the TF10 so far. what is the next step that is worth taking? if I sell both my iems I should have almost 300€, I could also add some more for a total maximum of 400€. they must have removeable cables, I destroyed 3 cables in 2 years so there is no way I´m going to...

Earsonics SM2 DLX Review Earsonics kindly sent me a Earsonics SM2 DLX for review, so here it is =) Introduction Earsonics from France, founded in December 2004. Has been creating Single, Dual, and Triple Driver Customs ever since. Being extremely popular to musicians and artists...

Hi Headfi-er,   Anyone know if there's a place / store that can do repair work on my Westone headphone in London / in the UK? One side of my UM2 is intermediately cutting out due to a minor damage to the cabling towards the headphone plug end. On close inspection I can see one of the...

So I've been doing research on in ear headphones for weeks and still haven't made up my mind.  I'm looking for headphones that:   1.  Fit very well and snug.  I will be running and working out with these headphones mostly.  Probably use them for biking to class as well.  Probably want the...

Okay, I just spent 5 days with it. Bottom line.... If you like W3 and IE8 bass....DO NOT BUY THIS IEM!! W2 will be the benchmark in double driver IEM's, period. W2 beats Super Fi pro like rented mule!! If you do not need big bass, W2 may be the most musically balanced IEM ever made...

Hi everyone,   Today I had the misfortune of destroying my UE Super.fi 5 Pros. So now I need to replace them ASAP (no headphones on the train to work = me in a very bad mood).  I have been reading around the forums here and have narrowed down my choices based on features and price to the...

I need a phone I can use while exercising at my local gym.  My main criteria is toughness.  These babies need to be able to be abused, soaked in sweat, kept in the car and still keep coming back for more.  It would be a plus if they could still sound decent.   I know Sony makes some really...

I just ordered an iPod Touch 64GB, and would like to know what the recommended settings are for importing CDs into the iPod? I have about 600 CDs, my plan was to to use 320kb/s as MP3, but is this the best option? Loseless is not an option for me, I see the following choices in iTunes:   AAC...

So I have narrowed my choices to these , Ortofon e-Q7 ,   Etymotic er4p   Shure SE420   Shure SCL4   Westone UM2   Westone UM3X   Fischer Audio DBA-02,   ATH CK10 ,   q-Jays.   IE8   As mentioned in the title , which of these choices would give me the...

I just purchased an iPod Touch, sound quite ok with my little Denon AH-C700, but I need something bigger and better for home use, have considered Denon AH-D2000, but are there other better headphones that works well with the iPod Touch, as I will use it unamped directly into the Touch.   Thanks

Intro/Packaging:     The doorbell rang. I saw the FedEx truck leave, so I walked out the door to see if a package had come. Strange. A medium sized box with Monster written on it. Could it really be the Lady Gaga Heartbeats I’ve been wanting for ages!? I quickly bring the packing in, and take...

There are a few better than normal deals for Monster Turbine Gold's coming from the HK. I have not run into any fakes in my years of ordering things from there but I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of any fakes of these making the rounds?   I'm slighlty leary even though they have a...

 Big problem with sennheiser garbage cable , only one channel is working other its broken , can i fix the cable myself because i can't buy a new one or can i make a cable at home  ?

I am in search for something beyond(hopefully for the better) what I have experienced with IEMs.  I have tried RE0, TF10, and currently SE530 is my main IEM.  I am still hungry for something better because so far nothing has even come close to my HD650 interms of sound quality.  I am aware there...

Hey guys, im looking for a new pair of IEM's, Im currently own Kramer modded JVC marshmallows, UE Super.fi 3, and Meelectronics m9's. I'm currently using the m9's. I also own a fiio e5 amp. I don't plan on upgrading amps. I listen to a great variety of music, from 80's heavy metal to classical...

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...

Loved those things.  Screw my kitten.   Not sure exactly how much I'm willing to pay, but I'm hoping for an upgrade.  Don't know that much about IEMs, though, so I figured I'd ask here.  I'd like a balanced sound, like the UM1, nothing really bass-y.

Quick background: I have had SF.5's for about a year (but just got new ones from UE as mine broke). I never loved the fit. I did love the sound. I tried e500 and took them back. I hated the cables, loved the sound and comfort, did not like the price. Today I got my UM2's. I also got the Shure...

So I'm looking to grab a good pair of in-ears while I'm saving up for a pair of Customs for JHAudio. What would you guys recommend in the sub 200 range?

Hello, I would like earphones with extremely high sound level without any kind of distortion and powerful bass. Which ones should I get and how loud do Sennheiser IE8 gets? Thank you

I am searching for an IEM with balanced, uncolored sound. My top choice would the the UE Triple.fi 10 (actually the M-Audio IE-40, but they are the same as the Triple.fi, only difference is the shell). So, as you read before, I am can only get the M-Audio IE-40 because there is no Ultimate...

Hi guys,   I buying a new player and headphones and I was thinking to get  SANSA Fuse which I would use unamped with PX 100 II  and HD550 (or HD595).   Would this be a good combo?   Best regards, Denis

Hello all   I'm looking for some advice and opinions. I seem to have lost my Etymotic ER4P IEMs. No idea why, how or where.   I had them for a couple of years and love the clean, crisp, balanced sound plus the decent isolation and I desperately need a replacement set.   I'd buy...

hi guys, i have some money to spend and i want to invest in some decent IEM's. i've been looking at the monster turbines and dre beat tours. if you have any recommendations please let me know. 

I want a very good set of IEM's for under $200.00. I'd like it to be very easy to drive without an amp and would possibly like them with a volume control or mic (if possible, not necessary).   My music preference: Techno, Rap, R&B, Rock, And anything that has bass.   I want...
