I don't think this poll really is going to get what you desire. There are going to be voters that vote for their favorite regardless of what other IEMs they've heard (or not heard).

That being said, I've heard the q-JAYS and the Sleek Audio SA6, and I put the Sleek Audio SA6 in front by a small margin.

BTW, I liked both more than the Shure E500PTH. The Klipsch Custom-3 was nice and lush sounding, but it was too closed-in sounding and a bit too warm for my tastes.

I don't understand your poll? What are people supposed to choose? Choose the IEM that is comparable to SA6?

With all due respect, polls like this don't mean anything. The only people who should vote are those who have had or tried all or most of the IEMs listed. I haven't had/tried any of these phones except the SA6s, so I won't/can't vote. I prefer IEMs that are not over the ear by design, so I never went the UE or Shure route, generally speaking.

I voted, quite easily I might add, for the SA6.

IEMS I have owned and prefer the SA6 over:
Triple Fi.10
Shure E500/SE530
Klipsch Custom 3
SuperFi. 5
Atrio M5
Shure SE310
Denon C700

I have the UE11, too

None of this is possible without the FS forum, however.

Probably reading the few SA6 threads that have been active lately will give you a better indication of what you're looking for than this poll will.

I definitely prefer the SA6s over the earphones I have owned: Westone UM1, UM2, Super.fi 3 Studio, 5 Pro. I have only tried the Etymotic ER-4S and UE TF10, the TF10s are too imbalanced (to my ears) and the ER-4S are different with even more treble detail, but a bit less bass.

It depends greatly on what type of music you like. I like rock, jazz, and classical. While the ER-4S have the edge when it comes to classical the bass of the SA6s makes them better suited for rock, in my opinion.

I hope you find a pair of IEMs that suit your needs.
