I've heard that you can avoid those taxes if you don't choose FedEx. But I'm not sure.

I chose FedEx for my Shure E500 and I had to pay those taxes... Of course I didn't know about this at that time.

By the way, I'm talking about earphonesolutions.

When you say it will hit HARD...does that mean when the bass hits, my brain will feel funny? You know what I mean, that deep bass from an IEM that just sends waves through your mind...and rattles your brain.

What I mean by that is that when listening to albums like Elephunk or Monkey business by The BlackEyed Peas, the lows hit hard and clean like a fine tuned Alpine TypeX subwofer would, not a buzzing and over modulating like ghetto PepBoys $100 setup.

That's what I meant, I was just being funny...or atleast trying

Have you tried them with any electronica, trance, or anything of that nature?

PERFECT! Mids and Highs of ER-4P plus a much needed improvement in bass. Plus added comfort due to Westones and no microphonics. Perfect! Honestly, I need these. Now do I have enough money for Customs that I always wanted.

Hmm... I wonder if the regular with custom eartips would be much different than the Customs. Cause then I would have an upgrade path and would go for the regular ones.

Like Butter ! Ray had his game hat on when developing that amp. The 3's are just sick with the Tomahawk, both the universal (BETA) and the 3Custom (ALPHA). I'll have a MiniBox-D in a few weeks and will post thoughts on that matchup as well.

I've run them on the following:
Andy Hunter - Exodus
Armin Van Buren - Shivers
BT - Movement In Still Life
Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole and Surrender
Chicane - Behind The Sun
Crystal Method - Vegas (GREAT ALBUM)
Delerium - Chimera, Karma (Disk1) and Semantic Spaces
Paul Oakenfold - Bunkka

And a few others, but that is a good mixing if different sounds.
