Thanks for the advice all. Ended up getting the dragonfly red and a set of spinfit plugs. Loving the sound with the white filter.

Debating getting a pair of shure 846 to go with my note 9. I'm not sure if the note 9 dac/amp will provide enough to the 846 though. Anyone have any experience with this or can recommend a good portable dac/amp if not?

Sorry moved my question to the help and recommendations section.

TwinQY,   Thank you and everyone for your recommendation of the UE 900's they sound great! I think I will make a custom cable, just for the fact that I'm not sure if I like the feeling of the cable that came with it, but other than that it is awesome!

Thanks for the rec TwinQY. Hopefully my ue 900's will be here tomorrow.

Ah darn lol. Anyone know a good place for US purchases of stranded 24-26 gauge silver?

Quote:   I think it is solid core. I don't see strands in the images they provide. Which is better for diy?

Anyone ever used tempoelectric.com? They have 24 gauge .9999 silver wire for 2.50 a foot including a sleeve color of your choice.

Anyone have experience with replacing the cabling for the UE 900? Does the sound improve creating a custom cable? And is the sound difference between copper, silver plated, and pure silver that large on this IEM?

Quote: Any advice on upgrade cables for the ue 900? Is it worth it to custom make copper, silver plated, or pure silver for the ue 900?

Quote:   I'm also looking for new IEMs in this price range. I have been looking at the W4R, UE900s, and SE535s, but I am open to suggestions. My wife recently permanently "borrowed" my SE215's, so it gave me an excuse to upgrade my portable headphones. I listen to almost every genre, but...

So I have been reading reviews from various posts (like http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-279-iems-compared-audio-technica-ckm500-added-05-01-13-p-678) and previous suggestions. What do you guys think about the following IEMs?   Ultimate Ears UE 900 Westone 4 Shure SE535...

Hey guys, just to give a quick background I have the shure se215's (that have been taken over by my wife) and the sennheiser hd598's. The 598's are great, but I am looking to get another set of headphones as I seem to have gotten an small audiophile addiction since coming here. I am looking for...

I would like to get the international version, but I dont want to spend $700 on a phone. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah I have debated waiting to see what the next iPhone would be like, and who knows I might sell whatever I get for the next iphone. But between the S4 and the One is what I am considering now. How do the htc one and s4 sound without using an external dac/amp or just an amp? And how about with...

I can't decide between the htc one and the s4. What's your opinion? And why do you think one way or the other?

I was checking out the se846 on earphone solutions and after several minutes a little pop-up appeared in the bottom right offering a 10% checkout discount if I checked out in I think it was 10 minutes. That's $100 off, making these $899 for preorder. Anyone interested might want to check it out...

Has anyone compared the S4 to the htc one? I was wondering what you guys felt about the music they produced from first hand experience.

Quote: I wish this was the same for the galaxy s series... I mean what sense does it make to have multiple versions of your phone.

lol I just wish samsung would stop making different versions of the phone. Make it universal! And give them all Wolfsons!

Well I guess we will just have to wait and see then. If anyone had the s3 and gets the s4 let me know what you think about the sound quality difference.

I hope so... I read that review as well, but couldn't determine if the tests were done with the international or US version.

So iFixit just completed their teardown for the S4...drum roll please...low and behold it has the same crap as the S3... Qualcomm WCD9310 audio controller... Sigh no Wolfson for US again...    Edit....   See under Step 13:  ...

Does anyone find the need to amp it higher? Or does the on-board amp do fine?
