Hey guys,   i've got a couple of questions that i would like to ask about the new shure se425 IEMs, so here goes   1) Will the 425 sound better with the complyfoam tx-100s, as compared to the stock olives? Most of the reviews around the internet are positive and claim that they...

Is there any IEM in existence with the following charactaristics:   Clear, full sound (like the UE Triple.fi 10) Good comfort (like the Westone 2) Very good isolation (like the Etymotic ER6i)   Let me know if any such IEM exists

I would like to know how long do they last?   I understand they are washable and can be reused.   But do they hold their elasticity for a long time?   Are they worth the investment?   I am thinking about getting them for my Future Sonics Atrios.   Here they are:  ...

Hi folks,   I'm considering the IE8's.   My only concerns centre around fit.   1. Is there any issue wearing them with the wire down, rather than looped over the year?   2. Do they protrude much from the ear at all, when worn as per 1.?   3. Do they provide as good or similar...

Read about the customer service issues before thinking about working with them.  I can't recommend them due to the multiple CS issues over an extended period of time.   Kozee Sound Solutions, a full service custom resheller and manufacturer - Custom IEMs & Reshell Appreciation Thread with...

Logitech just dropped the price of the triplefi from 399 to 299 along with some of their other earphones. Could it be a new top tier IEM by Logitech?? quad driver?   And Logitech released the successor of Z-5500, the Z906. Too bad it does not have Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio Decoding.

I currently have Monster Turbine but im looking to upgrade.   I was wondering how much better the Westone 2's are then the Monster Turbines.   I listen to Techno, Trance, progressive and house music. Therefore I would need good bass and treble.   Also are the Westone 2's good for...

Hey guys,   So I got my UE TripleFi 10s for my birthday, and I'm loving them.   Medium silicone tips sound brilliant, even though they don't create the best seal. The small tips fall out for me, the large silicone tips fit a fair amount better than the medium ones, however I feel that...

I own a good number of high end universals and customs and when I bought the Shure SE535s a few months back, I expected them to be outstanding from the reviews. However, since then I have realised that they have:   1) Absolutely no sub-bass to speak of 2) Rolled off and recessed highs 3)...

hi guy, I  tried a pair of bose ae2 and they were super comfortable. Are there any other headphones that are as comfortable as the bose, but still has good sound quality. Anything around $150 is fine. I will be using these on the bus so they should be closed. Thanks for all the help guys!

It has been a while since I sat down to write some impressions her at Head Fi,  however the opportunity presented itself and herein are my thoughts. Thanks for reading.     I have had the Slimline UHA-4 unit in my possession for about two months. It has been used as both a USB DAC/Amp...

I received the RE0 sample from Fang @ Head-Direct today and I thought I'll share some pictures with all of you first before I finish the 50hrs burn-in. Review will come after that, probably by late Sunday or early Monday. Cheer. The IEM, various eartips, and the replacement filters...

I recently bought a pair of recabled (null audio enyo) tf10s from a fellow head-fier. Oddly enough the balance sems to be slightly off. When the cable is switched (Left plug to right iem and visa versa) the side that seems to be "louder" (not really louder, the vocals + bass seem to be focused...

im trying to get a pair of triplefi 10 on ebay. there's few sellers selling these unpackaged. not the brown box by amazon, but just unpackaged!   no metal case.   are these fakes "? or did amazon special deal didnt come with a metal box?

So, I've been thinking lately about getting an entry level custom. My budget is ~$200 -- pref. less. Here are some options that I've been considering:   1) Kozee Infitinity XI (Executive Edition) --  http://kozeesolutions.com/product/1/infinity_x1                           I will wait on...

I've found out that multiarmature IEMs have a nonlinear impedance that tends to trigger impedance bridging issues with the amp that drives them and it might lead to some frequency response dips and humps that can be really audible and can keep the iem from performing to its maximum capability...

Hi all,   I bought a set of Triplefi 10's from someone on ebay which arrived yesterday. Unfortunately however when i plugged them into my iPod no sound came out! Even with the volume up full blast it only came out at a trickle and was very, very tinny. I can't begin to tell you all how...

I am looking to buy the TF10, but some mark them as "Pro" version. Anyone know if they are the same? i just know that it's with different packaging. 

Oh, the horror.  My beloved Westone 3s have bit the dust -- freak accidents and such.  Oh how I loved them.   Now, I need to replace.  I've owned some lower-end shures (SE210 I think), Sleek SA-6, and westone 3.  Loved the SA-6 but build quality failed me and was unable to get them replaced...

Ok so i just received my brand new UE TF10. Until today i was using Shure 530 since i'm a half way to be a bass head and reading around Shures have more basses then the TF10. Well jack in, amp on, let's play some noob R&B song. LOl? What damn good basses! Way better then the Shures! My...

Hey Head-Fi community, new guy here looking for some advice on what to get for my iTouch, preferably in-ear monitors. I am out a lot, I run every day, do work around the neighborhood and would like a pair that can keep out noise that isn't my music. Would prefer in-ears but if they aren't the...

Which one will you choose? Ruled out the Shures 530 because I have auditioned a borrowed pair with my Ipod Touch, seems that it produced a hissing noise. I listen to metal rock, jazz, ballads and some electronic. Thanks.

hi i just got a new pair of triple fi 10's and i love everything about them except for the cable. its too thick and too much memory keeping. i was wondering if it would be possible to swap these out with a different cable, possibly something like the cables on westone iem's? if anyone has any...

Hi I'm new to the headphone market and I want to know what headphones you suggest I get. here is what I'm looking for: Costs under $300 Be able to use and sound good with my iPod touch 4th generation,8gb Good at to blocking noise(since I'm going to use it mainly with my iPod touch) Comfortable...

So I've spent most of today reading countless reviews and comparisons of IEMs within my budget, and I've decided to try to get some personalized advice haha.   So far, I've been looking at:   Westone's UM1's / Westone 1's (which i'd like to get a comparison of... I've been having trouble...
