Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[abuddlah]

second that

UE900 is pretty dark so I suggest you audition it first (pretty common everywhere though)

The IE80 will sound very very muddy next to your B2. I'd suggest UE900 or W4.

I tried both UE900 and IE 80. Both sounds good. Planning for an upgrade since my B2 might up lorry anytime soon. Is IE80 a dual driver or single? How is the build quality between the two?

IE80 is a single dynamic driver.

Dunu Trident is $59, and the UE400 non mic is $99 and the UE400vm is $119.

Haha, thanks again for the recommendation . gotten the UE400.....

must say, it does what it says, noise isolation, damn, first time i'm able to listen my own heart beat under noisy environment haha

some funny moments, the guy who assisted with the purchase asked :

- what do you have in mind? I replied UE400, which then i asked the difference between 400 and 350, and he managed to tell me in laymen terms without hidden agenda.

- during transaction, he asked, so where did you gotten the recommendation? : from hwz....lolz......
I added : well there was another china/ taiwan brand which the folks here recommended......er......( he :dunu arh ) haha

- finally, i asked about the feedback when he mentioned to call should i need any one to one exchange......which surprisingly he says its a hotseller


haha....some strange stroke of luck today,

anyways, gotten a excellent and satisfied purchase

props to the casiher

I noticed that there's many different models of UE400 though,eg.(vi,vm,and the ue400 itself.) What's the differences?

One for Apple devices, one for non Apple devices, and one without mic and controls.

One for Apple devices, one for non Apple devices, and one without mic and controls.

I've noticed those with mic/controls work specifically for android/apple though. Would be good if there was one that worked universally

Okay,

some how ran into this dumb situation,

whats and how is the proper way to coil the IEM into the box give......

im pretty careful but the required compactness from the given box from logitech, well, seems to easily incur bend-break on the wire imho

 

[kaixax555]

lol tbh the box given by UE is horrible

The BA200's bass is not that tok-kong, just keep in mind and don't expect miracles.

Actually I was interested in its clarity, but I read somewhere and tried it, small biflange inserted deep deep give tight and punchy (enough for me) bass.. That's why I settle with this tips... The other 3 included tips don't produce the same satisfying sound..

So I'm happy camper now.. It's just the extension cable gave me trouble once, exchange it and was given another spare cable.. Good customer service!

 

[wbambang]

You should try out the UE4000, its small and yet gives good isolation. Detachable cable is a plus as well.

Definitely not a basshead's headphone but there is no roll off in the bass and mids stand out more as well.

Thanks I did try 4000 vs 6000 and immediately felt 4000 is missing the clarity.. It's very comfy though

Perhaps I should just try 4000 alone and see if it's good enough without any comparison..

 

[TeamStereo]

EHHHHHHH!!!!!!???????



59!?

i thought it would be through the roof exp,

and LOGITEC DOES IEM!?



gosh, i'm really need to catch up on the industry, phones, coms and software, but the fastest is earphones

Yes $59!

any recommendation ?

Any price range? =) Stereo/mono?

 

[abuddlah]

IE80 not bad at your price range =)

It has a quality finish and it feels light, forward sounding and pretty good soundstage. I personally feel that the IE80 sounds best with the middle tuning. Good separation and clarity without sibilance/boomy bass.

Westone 4 is more balanced sounding. Smooth and coherent sound and its very comfortable as well. =)

How is my Brainwavz B2 compared with IE80, westone 4 and Heir Audio 4.ai. Quite interested in Heir Audio 4.ai. How much is it going for in your shop?

Congrats on your ue400 purchase! This is currently my favoirite iem for multi-genres. They are simply amazing already when new out of box. Give it a good run in like 100hrs. It doesn't have the sheer detail and resolution of pricier phones, I duno how to describe but everything just sounded right and real. All my other iems can go eat shiit lol... except the k3003 But well my meat may be many pple's poison.

Btw the same ue500 is going for usd26.99 in amazon

The box really cmi. As illustrated on the box, really gotta coil around 3 fingers quite closely in order to fit.
