I finally decided to buy a wooden IEM for best sound and looks; the Astrotec AM800. Would you think these has one of the best sounds by far in a wooden housing? I'm hoping I made the right choice.
 
Is there a comparison with other wooden IEM's?
 
So far, they sound really good just as you described in your list of IEM's!

Probably production differences between units. My S1 has more bass than my R1M on the silver setting:

With the black ports the R1M has tons of bass, though.


Sounds like a reasonable explanation, lol. There is another S1 in my household which I tried out today. A bit more bass, a boost in the treble, and not as smooth refined sounding as mine either. My housemate also bought the R1M when NarMoos last sale was on. I'll try them out to see how they compare to mine.
 
Are you planning to review both the VSonic VSD3 and VSD3S, or just the 3S? Either way, I'm excited to read your upcoming reviews. :D

I wouldn't recommend the Music One if you like bassy earphones. If you can find it in your price range, the Yamaha EPH-100 would be my pick for Electronic music. Otherwise the MA750 is quite good. If you want to spend under $100, I'd recommend the Audio-Technica CKM500, Shure SE215 (for a smoother, more MH1-like sound), and even the Brainwavz S1. 
 
Unfortunately I haven't tried the latest crop of Xears in-ears.
 
 
I prefer the GR07BE and EPH-100 to the MA750 but they're not far apart. 

 
Hey Joker. My EPH-100 arrived yesterday! Only thing is I can't get a good fit. Seems my earcanals are too small

. Is there a way to overcome that? Maybe some other earpads? Or should I try to sell them and go for the RHA MA750 instead?

Have you tried the smallest ear tips which come in the box yet? I had a similar problem when I first get my pair.

Tried that yes...I tried them all...I even wiggled with some of my Sony tips. I put one wich works perfect for me with my FA iems. But didnt work either...I see now that i only got 4 earpads...shouldn't there be 5? Could it be i have a fake one?

I'm not sure how many tips come with it. Not sure about fakes either. Could be that the nozzle is too big for your ears, but that seems unlikely. Which other IEMs do you use? You could post a photo of how you wear them and how they fit and that might help.

If I were you, and suspect it could be fakes, I would post some pictures what I received (in its entirity) in -respective thread- for others to take a look, differentiate/confirm and advice......about its legitness. And try tip rollin for the fit issues, which in this case you had already tried with FA and sony's.....so pls post your reply what ZapX629 suggested...

Hi to all! :)
I hope you will help me with my "original" issue. :)
I try to find earphones for my metalhead girlfriend. The problem is she have to small ear canal, someting about 4 mm in most thin part. So "common" earphones just don't fit. Can you, please, give me advice about specific models (with decent bass) which she can use?
Thank you in advance! :)

That all depends on the budget, but there are lots of options with smaller nozzles.

Hmm, aren't those tips huge? I could never get them to fit properly in my ears. I usually use small or medium tips.
