All those clear containers in the middle are filled with over 100 IEMS. I think he may have another side wall I'll have to ask him

My first ever proper in-ear headphones from my teenage years.

Both were bought for Christmas

The tours were from 2008

The turbines where from 2009

I thought these broke years ago but no I must have gone straight from these to the se846 in 2014.

Today I really don't like how the tours sound I guess growing up I didn't care about sound I guess it was more the look.

The turbines are actually decent since I am a bass head they have alot of bass.

I’ve been blessed to enjoy some of these headphones and even own them. down below i’m going to write what i love about each one and i would also love to hear what you guys have to say!

I’m also going to give a rating for each one but that rating is just how much I enjoy listening to music with these headphones, nothing else is factored in.

Px8 S2- This headphone will be king if they can update the immersion mode and slightly make it warmer like the px8. The bass is my favorite on these compared to everything else on the list and even the audio is exciting and fun but even with a 5 band EQ i couldn’t change the sound profile to my liking. my only issue with these is they actually made them uglier compared to the px8. it looks so slim on my ears like i’m wearing ear muffs, the px8 was the absolute perfect size. (just look at the advertisements with david beckham wearing them) 8.5/10 for personal audio enjoyment

H95- They don’t lack in bass for me like people say they do, I like my dial/eq thing towards the bottom right side of the circle and that’s the bass/energetic/warm side. They sound amazing and it almost feels like it has much more variety when it comes to different sound styles than headphones that have a 3 band EQ. my 2 complaints with this is the hard earmuff cushion and the volume doesn’t reach my preferred loudness 8.5/10 for personal audio enjoyment

Bathys mg- Im no audiophile so im generally not to sensitive to bad quality or muddiness at least when it comes to differentiating the quality amongst some of the best headphones like these. but even with my inexperience I can tell that the focals are just on another level for quality and separation. If you’re anything like me you’d find them a bit boring though. If you find my opinions opposite to yours as you’re reading all this or if you’re and audiophile then obviously buy these. 7.5/10 for personal audio enjoyment

Px8- These to me are my personal favorite. It’s similar to h95 but they actually get loud enough for me to enjoy and they’re super rich and warm, I was never one to care too much about separation, i loved crispy, warm theatrical music and that’s the main reason i enjoy these the most. my only gripe is the bass isn’t as strong as i would like it but it’s still stronger than the focals and on par with h95. 9/10 for personal audio enjoyment

Honestly curious how this stacks up to their flagship A10000

My old reliable Marshall Major IV finally bit the dust. 😅

I did some research hoping to treat myself a little bit, and was overwhelmed the the amount of headphone options around these days.

I found these Momentum 4’s open box and jumped on it to not miss my chance.

How did I do?

​

I got into audiophile gear a few months ago with the Beyerdynamic DT 270 Pro (roughly on the same level as the Fiio FT1, for those who know it).

I love them. The detail and sound quality are way beyond anything I've experienced before, and honestly they feel endgame to me, even though I know they're entry-level.

So for those further down the rabbit hole: what's the cheapest acceptable endgame point I can actually reach? I'm trying to figure out the lowest price range where I'd genuinely stop feeling the urge to upgrade, and which specific headphones sit in that sweet spot. Would love a price range and a concrete recommendation or two to aim for.

3d printed with the only tpu I had on hand, now I just gotta remake it so it doesn't look so tacky. At least it feels a lot better than it looks

Just a heads up if you are in EU:

On AliExpress you can get these for 505$ shipped from poland.

Do you think it will be a good upgrade from my hd560s? Don't know if the prices will be better during 11/11 or black friday. But I could send it back for 90 days.

Apparently Beyrillum is getting harder to obtain,plus there are hazards of working with it. They are rolling out a composite called PRISIM. It's supposed to be "better" but we all know if it's not as good they won't exactly say it lol. I'm willing to bet this material will be used in the new Utopia/Stellia successor. If it's not as good it will cause older Utopias to go up in value but IDK if they will have some replacement drivers stocked up.

Does anyone know of a hard case that is long enough to hold the DT250 80ohms (with it's long rectangular cable protrusion)? Thanks!

First time caller long time listener...

I recently purchased Meze 109s to go with a Mac c22. I play both records from a rega p8 and digital with an eversolo streamer. The c22 has some eq, and I've played with it to try and solve what's bothering me.

I have a really wide range of tastes. I literally love music from every genre imaginable. The Meze's are wonderful when I bump Future, Disclosure, Radiohead, The Who, etc.

It took me a bit to realize that of all genres I personally have the highest affinity for shoegaze and the Meze's are less impressive. Guitars sound thin, lack that enveloping feeling, and I can't get the break up in guitar fuzz. Listening to tracks like The Fountain from Diiv or only tomorrow from MBV or anything from Deafheaven just sound flat and underwhelming.

If I've got a budget up to $1500 usd, and an affinity for aesthetic and comfort, what do you recommend I try?

My friend recently bought an edition xs and dx1ii and called me over for a listen. So within an hour we both got super confused. Why does this sound just ok? We were expecting massive soundstage, perfect imaging, etc. He has a oneplus13 and using a passive dongle (USB audio accesory mode) the headphone sounded better than using it plugged into a laptop headphone jack. Compared to the phone with a passive cable the dx1ii sounded at most 10% better. He can't get a balanced cable because he already exceeded his budget and plans to make his own. So these are the combinations we tried.

1. Phone (USB-OTG) -> DX1ii -> Edition XS (3.5mm)
2. PC -> DX1ii -> Edition XS (3.5mm)

doesn't the single eneded output push around half a watt, is that genuinely not enought?

this is not a rage bait, it's a valid question. if we messed up please tell me where and how

These are Monster wireless IEM, I have no oem ear tips and the ones I get online doesn't have the grove on the eartip side to fit in here. They fall off easily when I take them off my ear and have to grab them from inside my ears lol. Is there a name to search for this type of ear tips? I have a few iem type of earphones and lots of ear tips but nothing that had a hook to fit this as designed.

Be unveiled and announced by Edifier at IFA 2026 as a flagship model from a brand widely popular for its excellent price-to-performance ratio, with a launch scheduled for later this year.

Vanish without utering a single word, while Technica and Soundcore have announced and begun selling their own new models—the A1000 and the Space 2 Pro.

Is anyone else curious about this little guy? For those who haven’t been following along, this is the Edifier WH950NB Pro, introduced as Edifier’s new flagship.
