Rank the IEM's you've heard - Page 18

Great music taste indeed. Keep them in mind for when I decide to an upgrade

I am owner of ck100, SM3, Re0, ReZero,x10, Shure530, MTPG, UE triple10. Others I've heard and compared with my headphones for quite long time.

 

I love extreme music like hardcore, deathcore, noise. Also I listen trance and Lara Fabian)))

 

Triple Fi 10 > Generic Sony earbuds > ipod earbuds

Here's for getting it right the first time

DBA-02  > >  RE0 =  Etymotic MC5 = Super.Fi 5 > Silver Bullet = Super.Fi 4  > Rain > PL50 > Sony MDR-EX90 > Eterna > ADDIEM = M6 > M9 > Zune Premiums > JBuds J1 > JBuds J2

LiveWires T1 = Triple.fi 10 Pro > SE530 > Super.fi 5 Pro > Sennheiser IE8 > Fidelity Triples

IE8 > RE0 > Atrio M5 > SuperFi 5 > CX300-II

Re-Zero > TF10 > IE7 > Xcape > Re0 > Eterna > GR8 > PL50 > C700 > Playaz N3 > PL30 > PL11

SM3 > RE0>ADDIEM>V-MODA vibe>marshmellows> CX300II

I really feel blessed owning both the RE0 and FA DBA-02 as they are often ranked higher than the IE8, TF10 and even the e-Q7 and SM3 among certain individuals

I know of others who would rank the DBA-02 as better than the SM3 due to the difference in sonic signatures and vice versa. I also know of a few people who owned the SM3 and sold it once they had the DBA-02's.

Is there an option for a poll in the page editor?? it will be a great threat

Just like an itch waiting to be scratched..Havent scratched mine yet but am having second thoughts regarding the SM3's now...

At a certain point it's more about sound signature preference than anything. I think the level the DBA-02 is at that point and while I haven't heard the SM3 a lot of people who owned both the SM3 and DBA-02 feel it is as well.

Agreed. At a certain price/performance point it really does become about sound signature preferences.

=1)Etymotic ER4S,Stax SR001 MK2

2)Sennheiser IE8

3)Denon C700

4)Etymotic er6i

I listen to Classical including Wagner, Bartok, Bach berlioz and Mahler. American roots and bluegrass,Pink Floyd and for electronic Depech Mode and Ultravox. Also have a thing for Vince Gill and Dolly Parton, Neil young, Green Day, Deep Purple and Zep.

All of these phones sound great with this music overall though I find the ETY's and Stax best with all of it and the Senn's great with large scale Wagnarian Opera.

UM3X > HJE900 > SE310 > ER6i > EP630 > whatever else I've listened to.
