My HF5 sounded brilliant with every genre I listened to, which encompassed just about every genre there is!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I was going to buy them today, went to get them on amazon and they were  $129!!!!! not $90 anymore! . Guess ill have to get them in blue instead of red for $100 :'(. That $10 is a big deal for me.

Is this the time to break out the head fi slogan? "Welcome to Headfi, sorry about your wallet "
 
Your still getting a better deal then us europeans if that makes any difference

I have the MC5 and borrowed a friend's HF5 - I am mad at myself for not buying the HF5... 
 
The MC's are fine, but the HF's were clearly better in just about every way... especially separation and detail.

I feel bad for you

. But thanks for passing on your knowledge to me, so that I wouldn't make the same mistake.

 

[PomPWNius]

just ordered. I am down to $4 and 73 cents haha.  This better be worth it,.. ;D

If you hate them, I'll send you my MC5's in exchange, and the cash difference.

I had blue -- the blue is dark and the coating is very matte finish, so it is very subtle.  When you put them in your ears and disappear in the music, you won't be able to see what color they are!

yeah I really dont care that much about the color, its just that the red ones were 10 dollars cheaper. I like the way the blue looks  though,

TBH, I bought my HF5 from Amazon "used", which was an open box, but brand new HF5.  There are several black used on Amazon.com right now for $76.71, an extreme bargain for new HF5.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000XPG2QI/ref=sr_1_1_olp?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323464857&sr=1-1&condition=used

Just throwing in my 2 cents as a long time Ety's listener. If you can trade the hf5's for the hf3's ( one of the colors was listed around $100 on amazon a couple days ago, or Best Buy is selling them for $98 most stores still have a few in stock in cobalt) you will be in audiophile heaven!!!! They sound remarkably close to my ER4-S's, with better bass response. In fact the amount of quality bass is astounding seeing as how it does not affect their pristine highs and incredible mids. Can't recommend the hf3's strongly enough!!!

Great sound and amazing isolation.
 
 
 
Get them.

You do know the hf5 is the same thing as the hf3, right? The hf3 just has the remote/mic thing for ipod/iPhone. I dont have either...
