Now that See Audio has launched in the international markets, I think it’s time to start a dedicated thread for the models currently available. So far, it appears that there are 3 models, the Yume/Anou, the Neo, and the Kaguya. Reviews: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/see-audio-yume-anou.24866/

Over the years, our many creative and talented head-fi members have developed numerous useful, and sometimes crucial modifications for IEMs, to improve the sound, the fit, the usability, or even the looks. Unfortunately, finding those posts initially, and remembering where they are located for...

What are some of the best IEMs for vocals? Male vocals vs female vocals. I think IEM threads dedicated to certain types of music can be very helpful. Share some of your music suggestions as well.

Here is a poll to vote for your favorite tunings for the wonderfully versatile LZ A7? You may change your votes. It may not be easy to pick only one of each, but choose your favorite overall.

Here’s a thread for members to post pictures of your IEM gear and earbuds. Got any good pics to share? Just got a new camera :camera: or new phone :iphone:? Now’s your chance to mess around with it. Did you come up with a great IEM design? Please share it with the rest of us. Don‘t think...

This is a thread to discuss, showcase, and compare the many all-BA IEMs out there, including budget and TOTL. This has not been my main area of interest, so I’m eager to learn about what’s out there, and the relative strengths and weakness of the IEMs with this technology.

Since this is such a common topic of discussion, and can be quite confusing, I though I’d start a thread solely for discussing the differences between the various types of cable connections for IEMs. I’ll start with some information that I’ve accumulated, then let the real experts provide...

I wanted to start a thread to discuss the various materials used in current IEMs that contain a DD. It seems some of the popular materials include pure beryllium (very expensive), beryllium coated, carbon nanotube, graphene, etc. I don’t know much about a lot of the different technologies, so...

I have not jumped on the balanced train. I listen mostly to IEMs, and thus power requirements are typically low, with few exceptions. It has been my understanding (perhaps incorrectly or too simplistically) that using the balanced output of a DAP or portable amp simply increases the power...

Here is a thread to discuss all things related to IEMs with just a single dynamic driver. There has really been a surge of amazing single DD IEMs lately. With the development and release of new multi-DD IEMs, I think it makes sense to include them in this thread, IEMs like the KZ DQ6, UM 3DT...

I’m starting this thread for all discussions regarding shipping delays and frustrations, frustrations with vendors regarding delivery times and misinformation, shipping tips, etc. This is especially relevant right now, with all that’s going on in the world. Hopefully we can all vent, and learn...

Often times, certain aspects of life and certain hobbies/interests can change one’s perspective on other topics, sometimes seemingly completely unrelated. What are some of your wise insights and perspectives that you’ve discovered? Of course, no explosive topics like politics or religion...

What’s your favorite steak/s? Favorite cut, type, steakhouse, grilling method, etc? Sorry, vegetarians and vegans, please just skip this thread. (I wish these were my pics.)

I’ve personally been a big fan of Sonus Faber and Dynaudio for a long time, and I really would like a pair of high-end active speakers someday. At this stage in my life, it‘s mostly personal audio though. I’m grateful for the development of such amazing personal audio equipment, but I...

I thought I‘d start a thread about miscellaneous topics/thoughts that you’ve just gotta ask or share with fellow head-fi members. The topics have to be related to the headphones/earphones hobby, and it should go without saying, be respectful. Now let‘s see where some of those tangents lead!

The thread for everything XENNS (It appears their name has officially been changed to XENNS.) XENNS UP $699.99 USD 2 Sonion Electrostatic Drivers + 4 Sonion BA + 1 Beryllium Coated DD Hybrid Driver In-ear Earphone Hand-painted Faceplate+Resin Shell 6N OCC Silver-plated Detachable Cable...

I just took my Etymotic ER3XRs out of their case after several months in the drawer. Upon listening to them for bit I’ve come to realize that these are probably the least offensive sounding IEMs that I own. No pressurizing bass, just enough kick in the mid bass, smooth mids, no sharp peaks, no...

This has been a problem for me for some time, and only after listening to several “phones” (headphones, IEMs, earbuds) am I starting to gain more confidence and understanding in what I’m hearing. While I don’t believe in a few select people having magical “golden ears”, there is much to be said...

Since tri-brid IEMs are becoming increasingly common, I thought I’d start a thread dedicated to such technology. A thread that is not brand specific. This is for IEMs with dynamic drivers and/or balanced armatures, along with electrets, electrostatics, planar magnetic, or piezoelectric...

I think of reference IEMs, as those that are quite commonly know, and can serve as a reference point for a lot of people. In practice, “reference” products tend to be the current state-of-the-art, that is the standard bearer that all other products try to equal. Unfortunately, most people can...

The thread for everything JQ Audio related. JQ White Knight $1,849.00 USD Flagship 11 driver Tribrid https://www.head-fi.org/threads/jq-audio-impressions-thread.931495/post-16149721 JQ Hua Jiang Universal In-Ear Monitor The Trinity of Drivers: 2EST + 6BA + 1DD Exquisite Works of Art...

The thread for all things related to the ThieAudio Legacy series of IEMs. The Legacy 9 happens to already have a dedicated thread here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/thieaudio-legacy-9.927889/ The Legacy 3 was next. Then the Legacy 5 was released. Followed by the ThieAudio Legacy 4. Most...

I’m a fan of Etymotic IEMs, and actually like the deep insertion and great isolation for certain occasions, but the deep insertion is by far the biggest issue most people have with them. Plus, sometimes you just don’t want so much isolation. I’ve been exploring different ear tip options that...

I already posted this in the Portable Headphones, Earphones and In-Ear Monitors forum, but to help balance the bias, I’m posting it in this forum as well. I’m probably in the minority, but I actually prefer the sound of IEMs more than the sound of headphones (open and closed HPs) overall. I...
