Need to find best large tips for VSONIC GR07 MKII...any suggestions/links????
I need some advice regarding a replacement purchase for my Klipsch x10i which I recently lost. I was really satisfied with my x10i but I would like to look around a bit more this time. I have read on the forums and I have went through the big multi review IEM thread. My budget is around $210 (what x10i costs in Sweden).
I tried out Etymotic HF3 and was strucked of how clear the instruments sounded. I picked up more nuances and details of the instruments and harmonies than I did with the x10i. But the lack of bass makes me consider other choices. Im certainly not a bass head but I would like a richer bass. Ideally would be HF3 with more bass.
Are they good without mods?
I need a new set of earbuds for use with my Lumia 920. I was using the Klipsch S3 and they were just fine, sound quality-wise. However, the cord resonated extremely loud anytime it moved at all. There was also quite a bit of wind noise that got inside as well. This made walking and listening really awkward. I'd like to spend $50-75 on a nice set of isolating IEMs that have relatively neutral sound. Any recommendations? Mic is a plus.
- $50-75
- IEM
- Keep out a fair bit of noise (used near streets)
- Decent sound, I'm not extremely picky
- Mic is a plus but not necessary
Any suggestions?
If I was looking for an upgrade for the MH1c, what would you recommend? Price range up to $150. I love the warm sound of the MH1c.
Thanks in advance.
So I've been looking for on-ear portable headphone, under $150...
Found this AKG K451, but it there is still few review about it
Problem is, it's not avalaible yet in my country, i will have to ask my brother to send/bring it abroad
which mean, no audition, no return
Anyone willing to share it's sound characteristic?
And how does it compare to AKG K450 and K420?
or perhaps someone has other suggestion about on-ear portable headphone under $150?
any input would be appreciated!
Hey guys. I'm having a bit of trouble deciding between a couple of headphones.
I've been looking at the Logitech ue 4000s and the Klipsch Image x10s.
I understand that they're two very different headphones, but I would like to hear some opinions on them.
The ue's are currently $100 on the Logitech website, and the Klipsch's are currently $90 on amazon.
I listen to a wide range of genres, but mostly classical, jazz, and rock.
Sorry if it's a stupid question. I'm pretty new to the audio world.
(This is my first post by the way. Looking forward to joining the community!)
Looking for customs or a CIEM system like the JH3A or PP6, no price limit, basically want a "end-all" solution. I don't really know what I'm looking for too so I need advice. Here are some of my past experiences with IEMs and my opinions on the different ones I have tried, hopefully it will give a good insight on what I'm looking for.
In chronological order.
Sony Ericsson IEM: This is before I discovered HeadFi, I felt that as long as something gives me isolation and I can hear sound coming out from it is fine.
UE Super.Fi 5 (before the Logitec takeover): My first real experience with "good sounding" IEMs. What I love about this is the bass slam and the rendering of the individual instruments. The vocals, supporting voices and instruments don't sound mashed up together and I had a feel of 3Dness from these. One thing I like about this is the relatively "V" frequency response, which, IMO, makes a song sound "grander", or more pleasing to the ear with the emphasis of the background instruments.
UM3X: "Upgrading" from the UE SF5, I felt that the "grandness" I felt with the SF5 was weaker with the UM3X, however, imaging and instrument separation are much better than the SF5. I liked the way all the instruments sounded like different instruments instead of 1 sound. But felt that the soundstage could be much improved. One thing I must definitely say here: I LOVE THE VOCALS. No other IEM I have tried, including the customs I shall mention next, can ever, EVER let me love vocals more than UM3X. It's absolutely stunning. I love the fact that the vocals rendered by the UM3X actually triggers emotions instead of me feeling that it is "just another song".
JH13: JH13 was my first dabble into customs, I loved the way the custom isolated noise better than normal IEMs, this is a big factor. SQ wise, I felt that it was a mix between the UE SF5 and UM3X (which I didn't really like). It did very well in all aspects (I'd give 8.5 for everything) but no 10.0 for any individual part. Therefore, the feeling to me was like: The soundstage and imaging are really good, as well as the bass and highs, but.... how I wish the vocals were like the UM3X. Or, the vocals were good.... but I missed the "grandness" of the SF5.
Westone 4R: My current set of IEMs. IMO, it is around the same as the JH13, but maybe slightly different in some aspects. The niggling feeling of everything is so good, but there is no standout aspect is still there. If I give the JH13 an 8.5, I'd give the 4R an 8.0.
Ok, so that's it. Of course, these are all MY OPINION, feel free to disagree with them, I'm not some super seasoned audiophile pro. But I hope this gives an idea of what I would be looking for (because I really don't know myself). I *WISH* there could be something with the vocals of the UM3X, separation and soundstage of the JH13, or even better (IMO the JH13 could still do better in these aspects!!).
Currently I'm looking at JH3A and PP6, not really with JH now because my JH13 was spoilt - I emailed them 3 times and I got no reply. Then I also read about the UERM and the ES5.
Thoughts?
Shure Se315 or UE Triple Fi10? The last worth the price diffrence? They have a different frequency range, what means? Who have the major output? And better for heavy metal music?
