Hey Guys   I bought a Westone 4 off another head-fier here a few months ago, and I've been generally happy with it.    However, the sound has been getting, somewhat boring for me (I've heard lots of people comment on it's boring sound). It's too.. natural.    So now, I'm looking for...

These two fit my criteria perfectly, I'm looking for a fun IEM with emphasis on bass and treble, but without mids being too recessed. I'm just wondering, how much of a leap in quality is there between these two? The westone 3 is half the price of the PFE232, so is it worth paying double for the...

Hi, I'm new here. I'm looking for a new pair of earbuds, one that I can use to work out at the gym. I mostly listen to alternative rock, classic rock, and some indie rock. I've narrowed it down to the MeElectronics M6 and the Sennheiser MX680's. To anyone that has used both pairs, what are your...

Any advice? Price range about $300-$350   Thanks!

RE0s in terms of comfort and feel in the ear?   I only use two different IEMs, the RE0 and the TripleFi 10s, but would now like to upgrade to something that sounds better than the TripleFi, and more importantly, feels like if not better than the RE0 while in the ear.   I like the...

Ok so don't shoot me...   I'm not not well versed with portable hi-fi equipment and technology. I have a small predicament and am not sure how to proceed...   My piece of crap Dr. Dre StudioBeats that I bought  from a colleague for $160 broke down and I plan on replacing them with a...

Hey Guys,   Back for some more advice. I'd like to get a headphone amp/usb dac for work since I listen to music from my computer anyways. I mainly listen to my ATH-M50s at work, but also own Westone 3s as my travel buds, so sometimes ill listen to them at work as well. Would I benefit from a...

Been a while since I have been on Head-fi, so I am really out of touch with the current state of the headphone market. I have a set of Westone 3's that have been my commute headphones for a while now. I am now looking for something comparable that is also a headset for my phone. Any...

So I'm wondering if the Westone 3 will be what I am looking for. I listen to a lot of Classic Rock and Metal and occasionally dubstep. I like to hear powerful bass in my music. I don't want it to be distorted but I do want it to punch. I've read some reviews that tell me the Westone 3 will do...

Hi everyone, I listen mainly to metal, but some classical here and there. I have been looking at joker's thread lately, and I have a couple of IEMs in mind, but I want to see what you guys think to see if I'm right. Let me give you an idea of what I listen to. I really like Opeth, ranging from...

So this weekend i was able to listen to some ath-m50s and i fell in love with the detail and clarity it provides.  This is coming from IEMs only (Westone 3, HF3, and MMDT).  But this has turned into a costly mistake as it has left me wanting more!  The detail of my W3s are great, but what really...

Hi, I just got my paycheck (yay!) and am on the market for some new IEMs, since my SA6s just aren't cutting it anymore. I listen to a lot of baroque pop (think Belle & Sebastian, Beach Boys, Beatles, etc.) and a fair amount of classical, along with hip-hop on occasion. So I'd prefer something...

Hi Head-fiers.   So I was wondering which amp I should get, I have a Cowon J3 and a pair of Westone 3's.   My budget is 500 USD.   Personally I dont really like the W3s on the flat EQ and I increase the bass slightly and the highs slightly.   Portability is a huge factor. So is...

Hi all.   I'm looking for a great DAC/Amp combo to pair up with my Cowon J3 and my W3's.   My budget is 700 USD...   I know the W3's are a low impedance phone but I really want to "make the most of them" and get the best sound possible. I dont want just a "slight" difference I want a...

i own the UE TripleFi 10's, the shure SE535's, and the westone 3's (naming the three driver IEM's). why are the K3003s so high priced? they are a 3 driver IEM. am i missing something here? because ive been meaning to upgrade. and with that type of money i can get a costumes. can someone take me...

I previously have a pair of Monster Miles Davis Trumpet. Looking for a different type of earphone.   Source: iPod Touch 4gen Budget:$300~$400   I'm looking for a earphone which is more easy to drive and more relaxing to listen to. What I don't like the Miles Davis Trumpet is it stress...

Hi Head-fiers! despite my experience with various audio gear - it's been very limited to IEMs. Through experimentation and knowledge gained here, I think I'm ready to ask for your recommendations. I've already (and still in the process) gone through lots of trial and error to discover my...

So I've gone and lost another set of earphones - this time a set of Sennheiser IE8s.  I was hoping on some recommendations on a next set before I just go back to TripleFi 10s (the set that was lost before my IE8s).   I really liked my TripleFi 10s, much more than the IE8s which just never...

Hello,   I lost my Westone 3 over the weekend.  :(  It has been such a sad week for me.  I never knew how precious until it's gone :(   I'm looking to buy something different or better than the Westone 3.   Do you have any recommendation?  I listen to all type of music such as...

Hello, My question covers several areas but I think this is the right place to start.   I'm using Westone 3 IEM with custom ear molds. I use them with my MacBook Pro. Setup does great for the most part.   The problem I have is that I can hear this background noise which must be coming...

I currently own a pair of Shure Se-115's, and am looking for an upgrade, my budget is around £200 ($300) From listening to the shures Pros: Good midrange Really good isolation Cons: Lack of bass emphasis Rolled off highs I listen to lots of different types if music, but mainly Electronic...

Hello everyone!   My band has been playing lately with in-ear monitors, and my guitarists and singer all bought themselves some Shure Se535s. I had been using a low-end pair of Klipsch s4i's plugged directly into the console's headphone input so that I could monitor not only all of the...

anywhere eelse to find thesse besides earsonic site and soundearphones.com? any price better than the 379 or a discount code for soundearphones? if not i will go with the westone 3 for $100 to $150 dollars less.

Hey guys,   I've been looking around the threads on these forums for close to 3 hours now and still can't really make a decision on which in-earphones to get!   I mainly listen to house/electro music but do dabble occasionally into rock,pop, chillout, etc.   So I guess I'm looking...

Years ago I had some Shure E4cs and returned them promptly for lack of bass and that tinny sound dreaded by bassheads. I purchased some UE SuperFi5EBs and never looked back. Until I progressed from the EBs to Westone 3s, and now find myself longing for more clarity. So, I just ordered a set of...
