I'm a music producer and engineer looking for IEMs that sound like the studio listening gear I'm used to - monitoring headphones calibrated with Sonarworks and studio monitors in a proper room. I should mention right away that this means not just something that measures 'flat' on a graph, but...

I just lost my Soundmagic E80 on the train and am looking to possibly upgrade, if I can find something that preserves the sound signature and strengths of the E80, while possibly improving on it on a technical level. I intend to use these as in-ear monitors for live performances, and for general...

Hello,   I'm looking for recommendations, within 300 USD or so (I suppose I could extend several dollars higher if something's really convincing), for the following criteria.   Largely neutral, but with a natural, realistically full and wholesome low-end, like listening to proper studio...

(TL; DR version at the end of the post)   Hello,   I've owned a VSonic GR07 MkII for the past year and a half or so, and it's close to replacement time, after some rather rough mistreatment of the GR07, and a general desire to find something that I consider more in line with what I want to...

Hello,   Instead of crowding other threads and potentially derailing them as I have been coming close to doing over the past few days, I decided to create a separate thread about my IEM dilemma. I hope people with the experience and knowledge will chime in and help me out!   I thought...

Hello, community of Head-Fi.   I am looking for an IEM that sound signature-wise, falls between the Rock It Sounds R-50 and the TDK BA200, which are my two experiences with dual-driver BA IEMs. I find the R-50 a bit lacking in body and bass, while the BA200 too smoothed-over in the...

Hello everyone,   A couple of days ago I decided to buy a new phone, after several weeks of research, and got the Sony Xperia SL. For perspective, my impressions of the audio quality from its 3.5 mm jack are after coming from several years of heavy use of the Creative Zen Mozaic EZ300...

Hello everyone,   I live in India and after an unexpected mishap with my previous set of in-ears (the Soundmagic PL-30), I'm on the lookout for a successor.  Being in India, however, availability and price (shipping costs) is an issue, but anything that's available for less than say, 80...

Hello,   I just ordered a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro 250 ohm headphones, and was looking for a competent headphone amp to properly drive these. I'll be using the headphones primarily for music production purposes, so I want something fairly transparent and neutral. I've heard the...

I know mixing on headphones is far from ideal or recommended, but given the fact that I have to work on the move a lot, have to keep volume levels down often, and just cannot afford a decent set of monitors for the foreseeable future, I need to use headphones as my primary production/mix...

  Hello,   I live in Mumbai, India, where my options for quality (and affordable) in-ears are fairly limited. I presently own a pair of Soundmagic PL-30s that I *love*, but I'm looking for an upgrade. From what seems to be generally recommended here within my price range, I can only find...
