what did you read it as
I see sounds like the iem i'm looking for. I'm kind of on the fence between the sd-2 and the Noble 4 universals, what are the differences between them? They are both at the same price.
Have any of you run with in ear headphones? do you think they would fall off with all those tips?
Cool, thanks so much again for your assessments.
With regards to the SD-2 vs Miracle - that's exactly what has been the cause of much concern & contemplation as I have realised that I will likely feel the inevitable need to opt for a high-calibre custom at some point in the near-future if I'm truly going to reap the rewards for doing so.
The Miracle & the $1000+ range in general is definitely out of reach for the moment though - which is why I'm looking for something that will give me at least some degree of that kind of performance, whilst remaining in the immediately affordable budget.
I've also been contemplating the idea of possibly stretching that budget a little to accomodate the V6-Stage if that's going to truly satsify my needs & hold off my desire for more expensive customs a lot longer. Would you possibly be able to give me some more detailed comparisons between that & the Miracle? Additionally, would you say that the price difference between the SD-2 & V6-Stage is justified in the comparative sound quality?
Ahhh thanks for the descriptions. That makes it a clearer. Does impact for you take into account edge definition?
After my Brainwavz B2s broke for the second time, I think it's time to get them fixed yet again and just sell them off. So, What would be a good replacement? Something a little bit more warm would be nice, under 250$. How would the CustomArt Music One match up?
The Miles Davis Trumpets as well as the Monster Turbine Pro Gold are on sale at Visions Electronics for 98$ and I was considering getting a pair.
Is it a great value at this price. The Coppers are sold out, but they might restock. I was wondering for that price which model I should go with. Coming from the SE215, i expect something that has about the same bass quantity, but slightly tighter. I also prefer something that has more soundstage. I mostly listen to classical and hiphop and I would really appreciate any kind of feedback on which of the 3 models to pick. I'm leaning more towards the Trumpets but I'm worried that the sound might be too neutral, avoiding extremes as you mentioned in your review.
Could you recommend one that has those but sounds just as "fun" as the se215
To the people that have custom IEM, I have some questions:
1) How much isolation do you get with a proper fit? Are you able to clearly hear people next to you talk? If you walk around on the street, are the noises all very dim or just slightly dim?
I tried my JH13 for a week and it seems the isolation varies greatly between the type of sound that's around me. If someone stands in front of me and talk to me, I can hear them clearly. Sometimes even standing several feet away I can hear people's voice clearly. But sounds like plane engine are greatly reduced.
2) Is it normal to have the faceplate of the CIEM not vertical to the ground after I insert it?
The left size of my JH13 has the faceplate at an angle after I insert it. The fit is good I suppose, not pushing against anything but I'm always reminded of their presence so it's not ultra comfortable. The angled insertion makes it quite hard to take the left side out since I can't just twist it.
As far as the sound of the JH13, I like it and a pretty good improvement from what I had. I just went to a conference where they had some really nice subwoofer putting out massive bass, and the sound of the the stick hitting the drum from the speaker is so real I don't think any IEM can even touch it. Every time the bass hit, I felt like I was the drum with both my ear drum and the air in my lungs vibrating.
I haven't tried the Noble universals. The Noble 4S is IMO more accurate than the SD-2 - brighter and more energetic. It's a lot more Etymotic-like than the SD-2 and also has advantages in clarity, resolution, imaging, etc. The SD-2 has a slight advantage in bass depth but that's about it. But again, this is compared to the $999 Noble 4S and I'm not sure how that compares to the universal version.
I see, thanks. How does the sd-2 stack up to the ck100 which is the main iem i'm using now.
Just out of curiosity joker how many IEMs do you currently own?
Forgot to mention - my review of the Onkyo IE-HF300 IEMs is now up over at InnerFidelity, along with measurements of the same: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/onkyo-ie-hf300s-and-ie-fc300-ear-headphones
