I Want to change my current headphones, the iSport Intensity, for the iSport Immersion. Do you think it worth? In other words, Will I feel the difference? Do the Immersion really worth it or Will be almost the same to keep my current ones? Thanks a lot!!

Both earphones blew out the same day they arrived and I returned them. They looked and felt nice, but who cares when they blow out that easily.

is this a serious question? Monster headphones are horrible, if you get these you'll honestly think these are the best headphones in the world, i own a pair of the M30s and they are very good. i'll more than likely pick these up. so if you are considering monster audio and these, dont hesitate buy these right now

Disclaimer: I've spent quite a bit of time forcing these puppies into various depths and angles to try to find ANY angle where they produce any sort of bass, and I've failed miserably. I'm sure it's too late for these folks, but for anyone else in the same boat... To answer your questions directly, no - the design is COMPLETELY different from the Sonys, and I can't imagine anything like that problem would happen to these (it's pretty much all hard plastic (except for the interchangeable plugs.) However... as I'm also moving on from my previous two sets of the Sony headphones you guys are talking about, I should warn you that I'm thoroughly disappointed with the Etymotics. You should be forewarned that the Sonys you've been listening to, though not nearly as high quality a can as the 6i's, are rather bass-heavy. You probably already knew that, but as almost every review will echo, the 6i's are VERY light on bass. This equation will probably have you in the same boat as me, ready to return them because they HAVE TO BE BROKEN to sound that 'top-heavy'! I know, I know, bass isn't everything - but when you're going from a Sony to one of these it's just too big of a loss, no matter how much more 'accurate' they might be. And I'm sorry, but 20Hz? No way. Using test sources I dont' notice anything until 64Hz, and for an in-ear phone that's simply unacceptable. Only when I set my EQ to +12dB on 64Hz, with an even slope such that it's flat at 250Hz, do things ALMOST sound natural. Final recommendation: Don't buy them unless you've had a chance to listen to them, or know you can return them. And go ahead and SCHEDULE the return trip in your planner.

They are the best IEM I currently own... Whether they are the best I can buy, please refer below: In the current market, the following are the other UIEMs I researched on: 1. AKG K3003 2. Sennheiser ie800 3. FitEar ToGo334 Each of the above mentioned have their own sound signature, as well as, respective pros and cons. But, I chose the SE846 for the following reasons: 1. It has removable cables (K3003 cables are not removable and the ie800 are partially removable only from middle section). It is important to me, knowing that, cables are usually the first thing that wears out in earphones, and, because I am quite picky about the comfort around my ears; 2. You are able to slightly adjust the sound signature through the replaceable noozles (this was a big factor to me as well, since I live in a country where I cannot test either one of the above mentioned, so, to be able to adjust the sound signature is very much like a risk management :-P...); 3. Heard great things about FitEar ToGo 334, but, not very easy to find them. Having said the above, there is another category of IEMs i.e. custom in ear monitors (CIEMs), there are good brands such as JH Audio, 1964 Ears, Ultimate Ears in this category. Unfortunately, I live in a country whereby it is too troublesome to get custom fitted IEMs; however, if you live in a country where the afore mentioned brands have their representative stores/dealers, please go and check out. By the way, JH Audio has recently launched their new flagship JH Roxanne. Based on the initial feedbacks, it seems that, they sound awesome. Hope the above mentioned, answers your question Cheers Simon T.

Based on the current position of your avatar, monsters and environments will relatively sound like they are coming from that direction. EX.) If the effect is coming from the left, you will hear it in the left headphone. Distance also plays a factor in the volume of the effect. Mb it does more, but that's just from my experience. btw, this thing broke after 6 months of use. otherwise it was a great headset. loved the lights blinking to the sound of the music or sfx!

I have a pair of PMX70s and I too wanted an upgrade. I made the mistake of getting the PMX680s which sound like crap--don't waste your money on the 680s! At this point, I'm going to try the PMX90s which are probably not the best for sweaty runners, but for $22 shipped I don't mind giving them a shot. Plus I have an extra set of non-foam pads from my HD25-1 IIs which I will retrofit onto the PMX90 drivers.

I love the 558. Since you are asking, I assume you are new to hi-fidelity headphones. If so, I suggest you start there. Once you have experienced them, you can develop an appreciation that might direct you to the 598s later, or in another direction entirely. Until you find out what your preferences and biases are, I wouldn't spend the money, because the 558s I have handle every improvement in source I provide. I would spend money to upgrade to the best cables you can use. I would also spend money to purchase higher fidelity music. There is a lot of discussion about range when you buy better music. That is not the issue. It is how much noise turns into additional music as the quality of your music files improves. It's like arguing about pixel size or frame rate wrt your eye's capability to see. Higher quality pictures look better, even if you can't see the pixels or the flicker from the frame rate. Anyway, the HD 558 give very good performance.

I use these for CSGO as well and I definitely noticed an improvement over my "gaming" headphones. I can hear foot steps and the direction of gun fire more accurately. Accute sounds are no longer drowned out by overpowering bass rattle. The open back also caused less issues with ear pain because the bass pushing air in my ear canal with the closed back ones I had. When I bought my set I bought the headphones, a Sennheisser HH10 Headphone holder, Large CASEBUDi Headphones case (for lan parties), and a FiiO E17 Alpen Headphone AMP/DAC.I love the E17 as an amp/dac because it just works. It gives me volume control right there at the unit and drives these headphones with ease. I use these for CSGO as well and I definitely noticed an improvement over my "gaming" headphones.

the bass is amazing. it's fast, tight, and has tremendous range. here are the other open headphones I've listened to, in comparison: beyerdynamic dt880 32ohm - much lighter bass impact. the 880 is nowhere near the range and impact of the he400. it doesn't go as low, isn't as detailed, and isn't as impactful. sennheiser hd598 - the sennheiser has even less bass than the dt880 so the same comparison applies, but the gap between it and the he400 is even bigger. sennheiser hd600/650 - i'll lump these two together, though i'll focus more on the 650 which in my opinion has superior bass to the 600. the 650 can somewhat compete with the he400 in terms of impact. it's less controlled and detailed, but still has some decent weight. the he400 still has more detail and clarity in the bass, and probably more impact as well but it's closer than the other headphones. the bass of the 650 is very slow, so it can get muddy/boomy at times. that really doesn't happen with the he400. the planar driver is so fast even double bass drums on speed metal tracks are tight and well defined. you can hear each individual hit on the drum. the 650 is too slow so you lose that fine detail. all in all the he400 is a real star in the bass department. if you're coming off closed headphones they still might seem light at first, but once you acclimate to them you'll start to realize just how good that bass is. and if you're coming off other open headphones, you're likely going to be blown away, assuming you haven't heard audeze or other high end headphones. don't expect ear melting bass impact, it's not there. it's linear, tight, powerful, and natural sounding. by far the best bass of any headphone I've owned. hope that helps.

You should defenitly purchase V-moda Lp2It's one of the best headphones you could ever see, the sounds is amazing. I listen to fast and house music and this headphone works great with this type of music, also it works with other type of musics as well. I would defenitely recommend buying V-moda

It is an expensive solution. It will give you the boost if your headphones can take it. There are probably much cheaper solutions.

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!

Hi John, u clearly can save ur money because you get punchyer bass out of much cheaper earphones. This one is great in hearing the details, it feels like the iPod is connected to the brain directly "Super great details and presence" but overall is not the best comfort hearing solution and money wise is big waste if not used

niether do I. yes you hear things...it's disturbing but the headphone has really good bass response and it's very comfortable while exercising. taking everything into account it's well worth buying...

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.

Hi Dan... I just had the opportunity to use my headphones and found that they do NOT block the sound as much as I would like. I also noticed there's been a price INCREASE of $9 since I purchased my set! Hope this helps....
