Head/earphones Recommendations Thread

[StrawberryChris]

For this, you might want to get creative's soundblaster DAC/soundcard, I remember some of them have this function and it supposedly works quite well.

Thanks for the reply, I was wondering if anyone have tried using earphone plus noise cancelling earmuffs together as one before? It should work right?

any personal reviews about flare audio? saw that they are having kickstarter for their R2 IEMs very cheap now compared to after kickstarter period

- Your rig (note 3 + fiio e18)
- What type of usage (music)
- File format used in your source (mp3,m4a, loseless)
- Genre of music you listen to (usually symphonic, power, neoclassical metal)
- Headphone / earphone type (iem)
- Other requirements (if any) (upgrade of westone w10. prefer this type and not those bulging out one)
- Budget ( below 600)

currently using westone w10 and i like it very much. i'm no audiophile but would like to get my hands on 2-3 drivers to see the difference. any suggestions? was looking at um pro 20 and 30. importance towards clarity of instruments,guitar centric, rather than vocals

Looking for iem

[fumoffuXx]

Thx for the replies. I tried the klipsch and shure to just see what expensive IEM sound like. I did not like both of them. Just looking for something better than my thin sounding stock iem that came with the phone. I don't need mic or vol control. Will check out xiaomi iems. For budget stuff should i be looking at Creative's low end IEM like ep630?

For 50bux theres is always the soundmagic e10 at e1 (not made by them ah lol)
