I love your feedback here, thank you. I recently returned my he4xx for the 560 V4 for almost exactly the same amount of money... $199 open box vs $180 new. They are really comfortable and make for easy listening. I also have not used EQ on them as I'm quite a noob and prefer to try someone else's concoctions, someone who knows more and measures better than I can... I did give them an 85 low-shelf last night for giggles and it didn't seem to hurt anything.
You missed that sale. I believe it was in 2007-8.
Yes it was
I honestly like the 560s without any EQ but open to suggestions to try
Not in New York City , alas.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are currently on sale for $129.99.

Picked these up yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they fit me. I've tried a bunch of wireless earbud type headphones, and the ones with tips to create a seal like IEMs don't fit my XXL ear canal/ears. The nozzles are almost never long enough for me to get a good seal, and the bulkiness of the driver casing prevents a deep enough insertion.
The Buds Live are surprisingly listenable. I doubted the reviews that said they have any bass since they are open like airpods, but they actually do have bass.

I find that the buds live require lots of adjustment to get the sound just right, and even then, I'm never really happy with the sound. They are ok for office use as they don't seal out the world.
If you've got fitment issues with most IEM's, I would try the SednaEarfit XELASTEC tips. They feel like glue in your ears.

I don't have a problem with tips. The problem is the nozzle is too short and the bulky design of most wireless earbuds prevents deep enough assertion. The tip just does not go deep enough into the canal before the body of the earphone stops it from going deeper.
In fact, I have the same problem with IEMs and generally can only use the ones that are cylinder shaped and are not over ear. I'm 6' 6" and like many things, IEMs and earbuds are designed for average sized people.

I figured I would share. I've had similar issues, and I still think the xelastec's would solve the issue. I find that most medium tips inserted moderately deep kind of float on the little hairs in my ear, so the seal is broken. So I have to resort to using larger tips that don't go too far in. I also had issues with many silicone tips that are too delicate not sealing. I hope you can figure it out someday. There are some incredible iems out there. I love my legacy 3 and 4, and all my etymotics.
Foam tips will do the same thing, and I've been able to use them with some IEMs.

Hi @jhaider: Do you think it is enough to buy the Audeze iSine 10 and pair them with the Qudelix 5? The cipher lighting cable looked interesting for me as an iPhone user, but the Audeze iOS app has a 10 band graphical EQ instead of parametric EQ. (I understand I would need an CCK adapter to use it with the iphone/ipad).
In a quick search I couldn't find EQ settings for the Audeze app, so at this point the lighting cable doesn't seem like a "must have" accessory. Am I right to assume this?

Interesting. If they launch a Node 3i which can also do DIRAC, it could be a smash hit.
