I will take that back. After listening for few hours, I think the fit is good. Since I was used to Shure se535 seal, i thought that the seal for ex1000 was somewhat loose but actually its much lighter and comfortable. ex1000 is excellent. sm3 v2=se535 <ex1000

I just got mine from Beach audio. They shipped  it really fast. I do like the sound quality but the fit isnt good and the wires doesn't seem as durable as Shure se535. The case and the ear tips aren't that great either but there is still a decent sound isolation. I will post my impressions on...

mdr-ex1000 

I ordered my pair in Beach Audio. Thanks! Hopefully it comes soon  

Quote: That is a very effective way. Thank you! I will try your method. How is the sound quality of ex1000 compared to se535?   

Between the westone 4 and mdr ex1000, I decided to go with ex1000. I am searching for the best deal for ex1000. If you know any trustworthy site or seller, please tell me! But I really want the warranty because it is quite expensive iem's. Thanks!

Quote:   Westone 4 seems like a good candidate but since I have Shure se535, do you think ex1000 will be better than for Westone 4? Thanks

Thanks for your replies! I was actually thinking of purchasing ex1000 from Sony but now I also am considering Westone 4.    Quote: I actually never heard of Future Sonics Atrio's. How good are they compared to top-tier BA iem ? Sorry for shallow knowledge but I don't get the...

Quote: Thanks. I was actually looking over some reviews of sony ex1000. Do you know the best deal to purchase them online?   

I want to win :( 

Any suggestions? 

Quote: Yes I would really want to do that but I really can't find a sing IEM that provides good female vocal and classical music. Do you have any suggestions for IEM that is suitable for both?   

I decided to purchase triple fi 10 and Monster Turbine Pro Copper. I am probably going to purchase it on Amazon but if there are better deals online (I live in US by the way) , please tell me. Thanks

I listen to all genre of music but I never was able to find the best iem that fits all, which is what i kind of expected. I love my se535 for rock, Beats Studio for rap, and sm3 was for classical music (but I sent it back because they had uneven sound coming from both ends).   What I am...

I am actually looking for earphones that are just right for classical music but I also do listen to pop so I don't know if I should buy two iem or just westone 4 as a whole.
