WTK: IN-EAR HEADFONES!!!

[tr1ad]

unnastan?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

personally I prefer over-ear open cans than the ear-bud type but sometimes the large over-ear headphones are not as practical.

Would love to get me a pair of Grado SR325i, but I dont listen with headphones often so I can't justify the money

My 2 cents:

For all your headphone needs:

www.head-fi.org

From the forum section on the same site:

Multi-IEM Review - 138 IEMs compared : http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/478 ... dded-01-26

I personally own the Sure se530s and the problem with spending big $$$ on IEM's is the expectation for the sound to scale with the price ... it doesn't.

If you really have to have a small profile, quality head set, then I suggest the custom molded route, for example: http://www.mylivewires.com/

But check the head-fi site ... LOTS of info there

I have a pair of Seinheisers that I paid $40US for, they sound DAMN good. Only isue, the cord tends to transfer sound when it rubs on your clothes. This is annoying, but for casual listening they sound great, are comfortable and seem to be holding out ok.

had a pair of sennheisers which apparently got fried on my last flight (damn you cheap airline adapter from chinee man in jfk!!). they were pretty good...nice sound plus it had the mic so i cud use it for skype.

ended up buying the dr dre beats...they pretty good, if not a lil pricey. they come wid a nice lil case and the design of the flat wire is cool....it does not tangle, plus it good as a conversation starter with dem air hostess heheheheheh

oh yea and the beats also has the inline mike option (control talk i think they call it), but its not as conspicuous as the sennheiser....they also come wid bout 5 different earbuds - sure to get a good fit

If it's your first headphones give a cheap one a try first and then step up.
I have a cheap 100tt headphones and it works good enough

wa bout AKG?

open cans reproduce music very accurately and are very efficient at doing so - some of the most comfortable...

don;t know about the ear-buds...

[Mr. Go Slow]

I'm sorry I think I missed the Original poster's intent ... do you need an IEM? or are you just in neeed of good headphones?

Is portability a factor?

[ryan99tt]

65 portable headphones reviewed ... better bang for buck vs iem's

[S_2NR]

after all is said and done..
the headphones we use all depend on our tastes..
everyones different..

the OP should just get his hands on a pair, test them n buy them if he likes them..
dont study what other ppl say..

to each his own

[Smeed]

doh test in ear headphones!!....u go get somebody else stinky ear wax in yuh aural orifice!

[ryan99tt]

basically it comes down to what kind of music u are listening to...i listen to rock, alternative, dance, trance, techno, dubsteps, electronica and on d odd occasion some rap/hip hop...

[ryan99tt]

i won't lie... with these you can hear some low range bass that you simply can't hear anywhere else... it reall bess...

[ryan99tt]

bought this last week.. sound is crisp ..epic lows like wow

does it sound better than the rockford?

[gastly369]

^^ never compared it to the rockfords .. that was my original plan to buy the PP15mm from fosgate but plans changed .. but i guess the fosgates should play way better but there is a cost

the fosgates are $65US now price dropped from $99US

[ryan99tt]

thought u said u have one...lol...i ended up getting 2 pairs of the rockfords...

[gastly369]

^^ sry for mix up friend does.. posted from my pc.. i got the pioneers..

and i had the monster turbines (was a gift) and was on ah beach lime and it was lost/stolen with my ipod

but what i can say was pioneer < monster.. tho the pioneers aren't that bad i like the bass from it

[Mr_Carz]

thinking of purchasing a new set of in-ear headphones but i cant seem to decide with all those options out there...willing to spend US$100-200...was initially thinking of gettint the Beats by Dre Tour, wat u guys think?

i can vouch for the Beats By Dre, The Sound Quality is amazing, however i dont have the In-Ear headphones, i have the HD White headphones, but i would recommend, betweed that price range, Bose In-Ear headphones OR Beats By Dre

[ryan99tt]

u have to understand as well, is the level of comfort from wearing a headfone for a long period of time...the rockfords are really light so u dont even notice them on as to the beats by dre which weigh a bit and will begin to feel very uncomfortable after a short period of time...the cable for the beats are also of a material which when rubbed against any clothing will transfer sound up the cable and the cable is also very sticky like so it is caught in clothing very frequenty and pops out of ur ear...

[Jonathan]

Anyone has experience doing burn-ins? Is it necessary or has been proven to improve the sound quality of headphones?
I stumbled across this site while researching this, has some interesting info..

[cacasplat3]

Sennheiser

[ryan99tt]

yup, burn in time is required for any good set of headfones and it does make ah big difference...
