    Earbud (not IEM) comparison list

    Fantastic, thank you very much, it's a good basis for further research :) . Coming from the IEM world, the price buckets are different I see.

    Drop + JVC HA-FDX1 Dual Carbon IEM...available in the US!

    I use them from a Macbook Air and the Apple dongle for iPhone. I can hear slight differences but it's not like the iPhone can't drive them. Both require very low volume so apparently, both can drive them very easily. I would guess a better source would sound a bit better but it's not required...

    Earbud (not IEM) comparison list

    Picking new headphones is a daunting task. Fortunately, for big over-the-ears or IEMs, we have good resources in the shape of various buying guides and lists. E.g., crinacle's huge IEM list. I'm thinking about getting some earbuds (not IEMs) so I'm curious, what's some resources on this topic...

    CustomArt FIBAE Impressions Thread

    Seconded! I'm rocking the custom tips from Custom Art for about a year now, with various IEMs, for up to maybe six hours a day. It's wonderful to have this option for those of us who don't want CIEMs. I was contemplating getting CIEMs from the Custom Art a while ago (1. they rock, 2.they are...

    Drop + JVC HA-FDX1 Dual Carbon IEM...available in the US!

    If I'm quoting your post, you're the parent. GP=grandparent. Yeah, from Custom Art. I'm from a neighbour country so it's kinda obvious choice. But I totally recommend getting the customs. Good thing is that you can swap them to another IEMs, provided they have similarly wide nozzles.

    Not GP but I use them with custom tips. Works wonderful.

    Massdrop x Noble X Universal IEMs Review / Preview

    They are loud enough from a smartphone so they don't _need_ an amp. But I have found them a bit brighter from a small amp (FiiO E10 Olympus), yes. But I suspect that's more of a pairing thing rather than power thing. Well, to my ears, this is kinda two-fold. They are very fast, just like a...

    Best dynamic driver IEMs?

    > Ye, comparing single DD vs. hydbrid, multi-BA is always "power Vs. synergy". Coincidentally, synergy or coherency are not the reasons why I'd prefer a single DD. For me, personally, I can see a few other reasons: 1. The closed nature of BA IEMs lead to a sort of woosh woosh sound when...

    Best dynamic driver IEMs?

    Yeah, it's a hybrid. I'm looking for an upgrade.

    Is there an easy and safe way to equip ie800s with a mike?

    Best dynamic driver IEMs?

    When talking about high end DD IEMs, where do you guys think the IMR lineup stands? Is it worth the money upgrading from IMR R1 to Xelento?

    Review by 'Tadeas' on item 'EarStudio HE100 High-Resolution Earphones'

    New: EarStudio HE100 High-Resolution Earphones

    I can't find the Showcase for the HE100 where we should put the proper reviews. Is there one already? @radsone could you create it pls if it doesn't exist, yet?

    New: EarStudio HE100 High-Resolution Earphones

    Yes, that's exactly what happens with custom ear tips. The tip itself, which is maybe 2 cm long, "ends" some 1-2 mm outside of the ear canal. Only the nozzle of the IEM is "inside" the tip, so the tip of the nozzle is maybe 2 mm in the ear canal. As a result, the rest of the IEM is indeed...
