Hey guys, have decided to buy IEMs in a week, upgrading from Creative EP630s, my source is going to be a Sansa Fuze V2, and a FiiO E3.looking at ebay, i see that i can get the Ultimate ears Super Fi 3 studio at 72.95 USD and the Head Direct RE0s at 93USD. What should i go for? the super Fi 3s or...

Ok, so tax returns are in and I just bought my Cowon I9 portable media player (SUPER excited to test this BBE Technology) for my FLAC and APE files. Now I just need some cans!!! I'm trying to decide between the Beyerdynamic DT 770 32ohm and the AKG K272 HD. my decision will be made on...

Hey guys! I'm looking to upgrade my IEMs and am looking for some expert advice.  I've owned some old panasonic IEMs and, more recently, some Sennheiser CX300s and CX300 IIs.  Seeing as all of these buds have now carked it, I need an upgrade, and am looking for some headphones of a bit higher...

I try to take good care of them, but it seems as if that wasn't enough, haha.   You know how each earbud is basically made up of two halves? Well my left side split up, and somehow the wires inside came apart too.   Now, I'm pretty sure this can be fixed, but at what cost? I'm guessing...

RE-ZERO Pros Sounds great un-amped Better bass/mids than RE0 Slightly better build quality (?)   Cons That adapter    RE0 Pros Extremely clear highs No adapter    Cons Would sound noticeably better amped Lapse of bass   The Situation:   I will be using...

Ho hai!   I was wondering what is the best buck for bang amp!   I just ordered some RE0 =)

I'm having a difficult time deciding between Head-Direct RE0, Panasonic RP-HJE900, or Klipsch S4.    I listen to all genres of music and do appreciate good bass (I've heard bad things about that when it comes to the RE0). I'm just trying to pick one with the best all-around sound quality and...

Ive been thinking about this all day: why do the RE-ZERO's have a cable that almost no one can use, thus forcing you to use an inconvenient adapter? These looked like my perfect IEMS, but I would be traveling with them every day.    I can foresee myself growing to hate that adapter.   ...

I found this website yesterday, which was really fortunate since my Zune Premium Headphones v2 spontaneously died (also yesterday) and I need to replace them now. I'm not knowledgeable at all when it comes to audio things so I really hope someone can help me make a good choice.   I'm looking...

Hi. I've been looking around this site as well as a few others for reviews and finally decided to ask in a thread. My preference is more analytical / detailed, with a wide soundstage. Bass is good, but probably prefer more balanced. I had my Sony MDR-NC22 (not quite sure if it's the NC22, I...

Hi, when I was looking for new phones about 6 months ago I searched these forums for suggestions and found a lot of people liked the REO's. I decided they were a good price and I dived in. I thought they sounded great but now about 4 or 5 months later sound out of the right ear phone has ceased...

 Hi I currently have sennheiser IE8 iems and am looking for some upgrades to the cheap tips that came with them. Am leaning towards Sony tips as does not affect Sound and can be worn more easily, but the comply tips offer better isolation. From what ive heard the comply also dampen the treble...

So I've been reading some magnificient reviews on this iem these couple of days. I currently have the Earsonics SM3 which I bought after reading some extensive reviews done here at Head-fi and I pretty much love it. Compared to my previous IEMs, such as re-0, ie8, w3, pfe112, fx700, SM3...

Hello there,   I've not posted before, but I've had a lot of fun reading. I've been looking to find a cheap way to get a bit of near-hifi without the price tag and it seems like this is it.   I've just received the Brainwavz M2 due to the recommendation on the big IEM list, and that...

how do they compare ? i only care about listening to music at my computer.. mainly hip-hop ... does Ath m50 is worth extra paying over the price of direct re0 ?

Hello i am just wondering what pair of headphone that comes close too the sound singnature of the RE0?   I have searched a little and read that Beyerdynamic DT 880 comes close the sound signature of the RE0, or are there other options that comes closer too the sound sig? Maybe the KRK kns...

Hey guys,   My account is brand new however I have actually done quite a bit of reading here in the past. I was convinced it was worth spending money on Grado 80s and I was not disappointed.   Now on to the question. I don’t have any experience with describing audio characteristics so...

Hello Head-fi, I've been lurking in this websites for weeks now reading people reviews on different headphones/IEMs. And just few days ago I decided to get out of my comfort zone and looked for high-end IEM (for starter) that suits me. I am more into hip-hop/R&B songs but I am an occasional...

hello every one my name Sean who live in Thailand so i have to say 'Sorry' because my English is bad   first of all im using Cowon J3 and Head direct Re-0 and i found out yesterday that   Left ear's sounds was gone . . . (used around 1 year) so i need to buy a new IEM   i think im...

How is the sound quality on these?   I'm looking for something really "pretty" that still has good sound quality.

Hello All, Newbie here but I have been enjoying my REO's a lot but have the itch to spend some more money.  I love how the REO's are so precise but they sound a little cold to me and lack bass to a certain extent, though they are better now that I am using EQX and a E1 amp on my Iphone 4.  I...

Odd question, I know, but I've got a bunch of money stored up in Amazon gift cards, so I was wondering what are the best IEM's I can get with them... I know they have the Triple-Fi 10's for ~$180, but is there anything better for less than $250? (Preferably $200, but I can stretch) Just curious...

As careful as I was with my RE0's over the past year, one of the wires in the earbuds pulled loose internally and when I RMA'd them, after nearly 3 weeks, a replacement was sent to me, but never made it to my house.  USPS tracking shows delivered, but with the snow it seems to have been sent to...

I just placed an order for the RE0 and was wondering if an amp is a must. I have a i-pod classic 120gb and will be picking up a clip+ shortly.   Cheers Josh

Hey guys, I'm new at head-fi and only recently started reading up about earphones. I am using a HTC Legend (pretty good for a phone IMO) or iPod Nano as my source, and had a Creative EP-630 for 2 years till it broke a few days ago. I've decided to get something decent for a replacement, budget...
