has anyone done a comparison of these two? I know they are very similar and I've pretty much decided on getting one of the two, but the lack of direct comparison makes it hard... I'm specifically curious about things like bass impact, instrument separation, and whether or not the ck10's are...

Hi , l've been doing heaps of research here and have narrowed down my choices to these iem's. To me they are all roughly around the same purchase price...the hje900 here in oz is expensive..the rest listed l can buy from OS so relative to that. l'm just running an ipod 4g and soon an iphone4...

Hi,   anybody can compare these 2 iems?

I have the difficult choice between the DBA-02's or the IE8's. I can get them both for relatively the same price, and I'm wondering which is better.   I've read tons of review of both, and can't make up my mind :P   The IE8's use the over-the-ear design that i've not tried before, is it...

http://yogi-computers.com/headphonesetymotic.html   Since DBA-02's are no where to be found, I am interested in er-4p's.   This website is selling them for $178.50, while the rest of the internet is offering them for $250 plus. The website doesn't offer any names or contact information...

Which would be better - Isolation is just as important as SQ for me...   I did a search before but none of the results dealt with these two specifically in this regard...   I have not had any previous IEMs   Also I don't want to use an AMP   Thanks!

Hello, my first post, and already a question...   A disclaimer: I have been reading HeadFi, TechEnclave, and other forums/review sites, to get the basic info. I really don't wan't to spam or generate a 100th thread with thesame question. I tried to go deep to find an answer, but, living in...

Does anyone have experience comparing these?   I'm looking for something in the $100-$200 range that has great mids and is fun to listen to without a pronounced U-shaped sound signature. I also don't want something that is too sterile sounding.   So I thought I had narrowed it down to...

Here are a few I have been looking at and the best prices I've been able to find (still mad I missed the $99 Triplefi10 deal)     Brainwavz M3 $90 Etymotic hf5 $103 ATRIO M5 $120   I looked at the Panasonic HJE900 but they have mixed reviews and seem to be sold out/discontinued or...

First I would like to state that i have used the search in the forum and I've read a lot of threats.   I have the M50, IE8, creative x-fi music, Ibasso D4 that use at work has dac/amp.   I will be getting a desk dac/amp combo like the Matrix mini-i and probably a tube amp ( but that's...

I have a feeling that its not just the tips that you use...I was thinking about getting the dba-02 and putting the ety triple flange tips on them - wouldn't I then be getting the same isolation as the er 4Ps give? thanks

I used to think my Fischer Audio Eterna Rev 2's were great yet now the sound is just full on bass and slightly muffled. The reason is i've been using Dba-02s for about a month or so.. Once you've upgraded is there no turning back? The point of no return? ):

I will be buying an s:flo 2 soon and I know the s:flo 2 has a lot of dedicated amplifying components and a line out port, will it power the ER-4S nicely or will I get the bad sound they get when plugged into a stock player ?   P.S. This is my backup option because I can't get a pair of...

I listen to lots of techno/trance music. I was wondering what the best earphone under 200$ for this kind of genera  of music would be. Please help!!

I had a Bose IEM before (quite good bass they got there) and is broken. Now I wanted a new and much better IEM.   I have done lotss of research on IEM field this week and AM STILL CONFUSED..!!!   HELPPPP!!!   Which brand to go for IEM w/ mic and remote + LOTSS OF BASS for under and...

Hello everyone!   I'm about to buy another earphone because I accidentally lost my RE0.. Which one do you think suits me most? I would like a great bass while maintaining a good treble and good soundstage.. I don't really care about isolation. Thanks everyone!

I haven't owned many IEMs till now. My first one was the UE Super.fi 5 Pro. As a student, I shelled out a pretty penny for them. Also, like an idiot, I used to simply shove them inside my jeans/trouser pockets. In other cases, I used to keep them attached to my mp3 player socket, fold the cable...

Yo head-fi'ers,   So I am looking for a pair of IEMs that will compliment my DBA-02 and SM3. I was thinking the SE535 might be good or maybe even the SE425. So what do you guys think? have other suggestions?   Or maybe it's time for me to go the customs route?

Hey, I'm looking for a potential upgrade to my DBA's.   Anyone who have heard the following give me their impressions? What I'm looking for is a DBA-02 with possibly more/better bass. I have changed my tips to the Klipsch bi-flange and it gives me the best seal on the DBA-02. I noticed...

Hi there, it's been a while!   I own a cowon J3 with which i am really satisfied, i recently broke my monster turbines, could have repaired the cable but wanted to try something new, so went for the pl 30 as best bang for the buck for running sessions and dba 02 for mobility usage (subway...

Suggestions on a similarly priced (at market, not street) IEM with comparable quality as the UM2? I love the UM2, but want to explore around at this level (dual drivers) for a while before I take the next jump up to something like the UM3Xs or Shure SE535. Not ready to be spoiled and never want...

Currently I use VicFirth Isolation Headphones for my ipod or monitor mix whenever I play. Unfortunately they change the sound a good bit and they restrict volume quite a bit to prevent you from destroying your ears. Also, I would much prefer something that isn't so bulky.   So I've been...

My name is Jennifer. I am using my husband's account. His birthday is coming up and his current earbuds are broken. I want to surprise him with new ones but am totally lost in what to get him. He has had Shure E2C's then switched to ER-4's and back to E2C. He likes the over the ear cable. But, I...

First I had trouble with shallow fit using stock silicones. Shure olives and trimmed tri-flanges solved that, isolation and fit are good with both of these. Trouble is that I can’t bring myself to like the sound! And that even compared to lowly Shure E3 I used on temp basis after second pair of...

Hey people! I am new to this forum so pardon me if i sound rude. After looking at reviews and reading up alot i am wondering if anyone here has tried both the Sm3 and the DBA-02. It seems like they are both neutral and wonderful little inears. Being a fan of heavy metal and jazz, i am searching...
