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. 

I don't really want to go through that process again. sm3 v2 is a great pair of iem but I feel that its not that worth of a cost. I loved the perfect fit and isolation but I decided to try on new iems

Recently I purchased sm3 v2 but there was definitely something wrong with the sound quality as the vocals and most music sounded stronger in my left side than my right. I decided to return these and buy another in-ear for 400 USD. I already own Shure se535 and I would prefer sq different from...

me! i spent more than 800$ for in-ear headphones! But i mean, listening to good music is the only way to relieve stress. 

That looks like a good deal. Stay808, do you know how long it takes for me to receive the custom earphones? I am getting so confused at what I should  buy :( There are just way too many excellent in-ear headphones. I was finally thinking of buying Westone 4r but then, most reviews states that...

Thank you! I have been thinking about purchasing fx700 but I do need the sound isolation so I think I won't go with dynamic iem s. 1964 ears seem very durable with great SQ but the process seems time consuming. Now I am thinking of buying SM3 or W4. Thanks

Thanks. Well i think i will go for the dynamic iem. Between FX700 and EX1000, which one is better or how is it different? And aim not sure where to purchase those earphones online. And KimChee, what custom do you recommend? 

Hi i just joined the head-fi because i wanted to hear advices from you guys. I've read lots review about headphones but i can't determine what i should buy. I currently have a Shure se535 but i think the bass is lacking and some of the music doesn't sound right with it. So i am wondering what i...
