    Other good iems for Ety HF3 custom tips?

    Long story short, I was thinking of trying AirPods Pro to see if they were good enough, but then I remembered how comfortable my custom tips were and wondered if I could reuse them with something. I’d rather not spend more than $300 or so.

    Other good iems for Ety HF3 custom tips?

    I got custom tips for my Etymotic HF3 iems. The tips seem to be in good shape still, but the HF3’s are falling apart. According to the comply site, HF3 uses Comply 100’s. Is it true that I can probably reuse my tips with any iems that fit Comply 100’s? Or are they only good on the near dead...

    Ie80 or other. Got ~$500, advice appreciated.

    I went ahead and ordered the gr07 bass edition. I figure if I am not happy with them, they're cheap enough that I could put some gift cards with my leftover $400ish and get se535's or whatever. If nothing else, I can throw out these skullcandy's and keep the GR07BE as a better backup pair, if I...

    It's funny. I was seriously looking at one of those before I decided to arbitrarily expand my search to stick to closer to "blow my full budget IEM's". They looked fun, but they were indefinitely out of stock at Amazon. Lendmeurears site kinda confused me with the Singapore dollars. Looks like...

    1. Yeah.. The awesome amazon return policy kinda makes me want to grab a 535 and a 215 to see how much difference I notice and return the loser. I don't like ordering something with the intention of doing a return, even a variable one though. 2. The bass difference is what original made me...

    Thanks for the advice! Is it safe enough to get 535-LTD's from Amazon as long as I get them from actual Amazon as seller, or should I hit one of the authorized Shure online retailers they list on their site? Also, should I generally expect $500 IEM's (the 535-LTD's in particular) to be...

    Short version. Wanted: advice on IEM $500 or less. Source: 320 Kbps mp3 from unamped iPhone 5, ipad, and MacBook Pro retina. Musical taste: Lots of Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, Korn, and Disturbed. Some Ellie Goulding, Lindsey Sterling, Metric...

    Hi all! Been a member for a while, but this is probably my first post. My wife gave me $500 to spend on whatever, and I was thinking a new pair of IEM's. I'm leaning towards Sennheiser ie80's, but thought it wouldn't hurt to explain my background, listening preferences, hopes here to get advice...
