    NuForce HEM1 in-Ear Monitors with Single Hi-Res Balanced Armature Driver, Blue

    • I don't think you can burn in BA headphones but in the interest of doing a fair review I did play these for about 60 hours with a revolving playlist to "loosen" them up
    • They are really wonderful headphones and I am now enthused about playing all my songs and hearing them the way they were MEANT to be heard!
    • The headphones struggle to be neutral in that they don't feature overpowering bass
    • The headphones stay in place and don't hurt after hours of use if I make sure they are in right, plus even at max volume on most my devices I don't disturb the people around me
    • The HEM 6 is an incredible headphone
    • They may not be a perfect "reference class" IEM, but they are still passable and an incredible pair headphones for listening to and enjoying music
    • but these are far and away the most comfortable headphones that I've ever worn
    • I would have to agree with others that these are fairly warm sounding headphones and they contrast something like the HD700s which tend to be very analytical with stunning highs
    • But aside from the fact the word reference will miss lead some people in the home studio business the headphones are perfect
    • You have to attach the tips and cables to the headphones using a fair amount of pressure, something that made me nervous (I sure didn’t want to break my fancy new $500 headphones before I even got the chance to try them the first time!

    • There are plenty of cheaper headphones, like Shures, which have heavier gauge, higher quality cords, so this is really quite poor in that aspect
    • The same can be said of the gorgeous Shure SE846 which are simply the best in-ear headphones I have ever had the pleasure of owning
    • These headphones are good for the price, but there is one glaring issue with them: random disconnection from the drivers
    • I have owned what I thought were decent headphones; but when I put these on and played my favorite song I was amazed to hear stuff in the song that I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WAS THERE in the background!
    • While the price is a bit eye-opening, that doesn't take away from the fact that these headphones are great
    • It’s a fantastic added value, and really makes the headphone feel like its $400 price tag
    • It's such a shame because these are actually great sounding headphones
    • FiiO E12A Mont Blanc IEM Special Edition Portable Headphone Amp, Titanium
    • sony z7.THis hem 8 beats all but z7, but that's not in competition, it needs amp by necessity the latter, so if you got some to spend on crazy little headphones and are brave enough to pay this much for something that can cost as little as 10 bucks, GO FOR IT
    • One of The most beautiful headphones i ever has, The color is amazing, The materials are excelente and the sound is incredible
    • All in all the HEM6's are great headphones and if you have the money get them, especially if you are a working musiceian who wants in ear monitors.
    • These headphones REQUIRE a burn in
    • Good headphones
    • I would list everything but everything is already shown in the pictures as well as in the description
    • Having read other reviews where the driver had been lost as the connection was not secure, I was concerned that it be a good fit as the company doesn't sell just one replacement driver
