I have a pair of old Future Sonics IEMs which I was using at the gym. The drivers are perfect but the jack is faulty and the IEMs no longer work.   Is there a cheap and easy way to replace the jack in a DIY project for someone like me who is not very good with this sort of stuff?

Intro This is a review of the Future Sonics Atrio MG7. This model of Atrio carry’s the latest MG7 drivers (I also recently realised the "MG" in the driver names is probably the initials of FS founder, Marty Garcia LOL), which are said to be a great improvement over the previous MG5pro driver...

Intro This is a review of the TFT Acoustics - TFTA 1XB. These are TFTA’s flagship IEMs, costing ~AUD$150. This puts them at somewhat upper mid-level IEMs. The 1XB and the 1VS are TFTA’s two high end models where the 1XB is tuned to produce more sub-bass.   Out of the box, they sounded...

Here is my review of TFTA's entry level earbuds.   Intro This is a review of the TFTA 1200-1V. These are TFTA’s entry level earbuds, costing ~$50. This puts them at somewhat mid-level earbuds in the earbuds game. My main “open” earphones are the Yuin PK3 and the Koss KSC75. I have...

I found an old pair of Atrio's in a drawer but the cable is so stiff which makes it difficult to use the IEMs and microphonics are made 10 times worse.   Is there anything I could run on the cable to get it soft again, like it was originally?

I had a pair of the Koss KSC75 about 5 years ago and just couldn't get them to fit and got rid of them. I keep reading how good they are so decided to get another pair and work at it and finally, I got them to fit decently.   The sound quality is jawdropping! I am shocked as to how good...

As title says, what is the best way to take the stem out of a Shure foamie without damaging the foam? The stem is glued in there solid!

  I am currently using Future Sonics Atrio IEM's and am looking for a pair of headphones under $120. I have some very specific requirements if you could please help me with this: - I listen to only Trance and Chillout/lounge music. I want deep AND textured bass, NOT the "one-note bass" or...

I downloaded dweaver's mix of brown-pink-white noise file for burn-in and left is running for ~3 hours. How long do I need to do this to get a decent amount of burn-in?   Also, what volume level should I be using?

Hi Guys,   I have been away for some years, good to be back.   I have been using my Future Sonics Atrio's (the Mg5 driver, not Mg5 Pro) for several years now. Pretty much listen only to trance (melodic/uplifting) and I have been loving the Atrio's.   I have a problem that I only...

Hey all, Ive used a few stick MP3 players (i.e. the USB flash drive style) and have not had much luck with SQ. I have had the shuffle, nearly all of Sony's ones (which I find way too dark with my future sonics IEMs). I am currently using the samsung U3 which is really good in terms of SQ...

Hey all, I am looking for an ER-6i for my girlfriend and want to know how much more bass the iM616 has compared to the ER-6i? I hear the iM616 is the ER-6i with more bass, how true is this? Also, in terms of size, would the iM616 be considered big'ish? I have had the ER-6i before and know...

Hey all, Just wanted to know... 1) When I go to remove/disconnect my S616 from the USB connection, is there supposed to be a safely remove option? I don't get one so I have to just take the cable out, is it doing any damage to the player? 2) Is it true that using the VPT (surround...

Don't know when this happened but Shure has increased the list price of their black foams from $15 to $20 for 5 pairs: Shure - Black Foam Sleeves for Earphones It is still a good price however idealsound on ebay (same as discountheadphones.com) is still selling them for $14/5pairs so stock...

As per the title, if the source is bad quality (crackling noises) or there is lots of hiss, will it hurt the driver or is it "noise" just like music?

Has anyone tried these canalphones? What are your impressions? livefidelity.com - S65 Pro Series

I found my really, really old pair of TD/60's last night. I plugged them in and listened for a while to a bit of trance and a bit of hip-hop. I found them to be a bit lacking in bass but was impressed with the soundstage and mids were very forward, not over the top, but very nice. Has anyone...

Has anyone tried the Atrio's and know of another universal IEM that is similar in sound sig?

I have been using my Xtrememac FS1 for a couple of months and am truly impressed with them! The bass is perfect and exactly what I want from an IEM plus the mids and highs are not lost, although not as clear or seperated compared to my previous ER-6i's but the FS1 are still my preferred IEMs for...

GOOD NEWS!!! I recently purchased the 6i's and hated the supplied foams, they are too big, take too long to expand and are WAY too expensive, to the point that i actually consider them a rip-off!!! I wanted to experiment so I purchased a pack of the new Shure Black foam tips, these are...
