Found out that my right ear canal seems to be bigger than my left. Is this normal...???

I've heard the buzz... Is it true? (does that give chances to pick up a pair of cheap ones while they're trying to clear their stock?)

I am new here so I will try to be very detailed about what I need. I need headphones that are bass heavy but doesn't overwhelm. I would like it to be balanced too. It doesn't matter if it's on ear or over ear. I like sony headphones. I mostly listen to bands like skillet.

Hello, I have been switching between the two IEMs for the past week, and I have come to really, really enjoy the UM2 and like it better than the UM3x, has anyone else experienced much better bass and highs with the UM2 ? I also found the UM2 doesn't need an amp at all whereas I can't really use...

I'm considering getting the UM3X to replace my SE535, which has started to get connection problems -- and it's not the cable.    Anyway, here's a list of artists I listen to, and although I do listen to other genres, the following listed bands probably make up 80% of my playlists.   -...

 Right now on amazon these iems are all about 320 usd. Im looking to get some, and I was thinking Westone 4, but I have heard that they are bass lightish and very neutral (possibly boring). I listen to music with prominent bass, but I also listen to classical and other bass light music. I enjoy...

Hi. My UM3X, non-removable cable, has recently totally stopped functioning on the left side. The right side seems to be as normal. Multiple sources confirm this and no amount of wiggling the cable helps. I took reasonably good care of them, always curling the wires and never bending. However...

I'm newly on the market for new headphones. I already have a full size headphone for at home. Which iem do you guys recommend for hans zimmer's music in the 100-400 dollar range (man of steel soundtrack is awesome btw)? thanks.

I had purchased the PFE232 because I thought their v-shaped signature would be fun and energetic. I was wrong because their mids were too recessed for me and I wasn't impressed, they definitely weren't fun for me. After returning them, I tried looking for a mid-centric model here at head-fi, but...

I owned the SE535 when first released back in 2010.  Enjoyed them for 6+ months before I sold them for no real reason other than to explore and help fund other high end IEM's.  I just purchased another pair because I was intrigued to use with my Westone "star" tips.  Wow!  It's a match made in...

Hi. Can someone recommend me a good in ear earphones that are good quality? Some type of earphones that can emphasize the energy and beat to them. Probably about a $400 price limit. I had a Triple.Fi 10 for 2 or 3 years and they did not impress me. My stock Samsung earbuds seemed to provide...

Hey all, first post here.  I've read a ton of reviews and posts and just can't make up my mind here.  Could you guys give me some insight on which move to make here?   I listen to mostly classic rock, desert rock, grunge, indie rock in the vein of Sonic Youth, some doom metal, stuff like...

I decide to buy armature for my ipod 4g. I own Brainwavz M2, but sound is very deep and highs are not clear too.(I dont know how to describe it). Meanwhile, Senheiser IE 4 sounds better: cleaner and closer, but only at Huawei (smartphone). On ipod it sounds a bit better that M2. I chose...

With microphone preferred.   Sound quality secondary to having tanglefree cord and lack of microphonics. Going to use for travel, gym, etc. Nothing worse than being woken awake by microphonics :)   Have anything for me?

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...

I miss my sm3 iems but I don't miss their veil. They were perfect in every way except that. So I sold them :-( I have a few questions: 1. Are there any amps or eq settings that get rid of the veil of the sm3 without taking anything away and without adding sibilance? 2. Is the sm64 the same sq...

hello head-fiers..   My first post here. I have been trolling the forums as long as I can remember and owe my audio purchases to you folks. many thanks! I currently own the sony mdr ex 1000 and though a lot of opinions suggested how the iem may not be best suited for metal music, I...

I've been using my UM3X for about a year with my ipod classic. Pretty happy with it, especially when i can get a good seal on the phones, although it's seemed a little lifeless recently.   But I listened to my LDIII/SennHD580 desktop setup for the first time in ages over the weekend, and...

So my um3x's cable is pretty worn thus I opened up the shell minutes ago. Quite surprising the crossover is nothing but filter caps! Here's a photo of the moment of truth =D   I'm wondering if we can use anything fancy here? Cap rolling anyone? XD

As I won't be able to afford a new pair of IEMs without selling my existing pair, I'd like to try out the Westone 3 and UM3X. I don't want to regret selling my current IEMs (Triple.fi 10). I'm well aware that this is a sidegrade rather than an upgrade, but I'd still like to try these IEMs...

Hello Forum!        Just got molded and ordered the UM56 for th UM3X that I bought Nov '09. I'm very happy with this set of IEM that sound greater than that UE pro 5. ordered in vinyl instead of silicone going with the audiologist sudgestion... I guess Silicone might be a little bit more...

Hi all,   I already own a pair of Westone UM3x in ear monitor's which I use for portable purposes but have been been considering getting a pair of quality open backed headphones for home use.   The headphones I'm considering are Sennheiser HD650 or a modded HD558 and was wondering how they...

Hi all,   Could anyone tell me which replacement Comply foam tips I need to order for my Westone UM3x earphones?  There were 2 different sizes that came in the box and I like the long ones best.   Thanks, Steve

Currently I use the J3 with um3x and Ibasso D12 as my portable rig. Due to the size, its becoming a hassle and very annoying to carry outside. I was wondering if i made the switch to the T3, what would I expect? I've read good reviews on the T3 but also issues with pairing with J3 due to the...

I am in the search for a more durable UM3x replacement cable.   My current stock cables are cracking where the wire turns into a plug to plug into the IEM.  Frankly, I am a little disappointed that these aren't more durable.   Any suggestions on a replacement?  Should I just go with...
