Joe, are you referring to my post comparing the EM4 and the SM3 using “The Ultimate Demonstration Disc", or are you referring to me saying that the: "EM6 just sound so very, very pleasant, like the SM3"? The EM6 is every bit as different from the SM3 as the EM4, but the pleasure the EM6 brings is just beyond my current ability to put into words. I really don't think there was anything wrong with my EM4 (although I could be wrong, it was my only CIEM). I simply think that the EM4 sound signature was too (razor blade) sharp for my taste. At this time, and with my current experience, I can only wholeheartedly recommend the EM6. The level of detail and separation is just... I lack the words. Again I hear and notice things in my album collection that I've never heard before in any headphone or IEM/CIEM that I've listened to.
I am mostly referring to your comparison of the SM3 to the EM4, as there is no competition between my EM4 and SM3, just none.
Here is my comparison from my review:
Aero, would you say the EM6 has all the plus point of the EM4 (and perhaps even betters them) as well as some plus points of it own?
Per Earsonics, both perform on the same level, but are tuned differently for different audiences. The EM4 is for audiophiles that want a bright sound and the EM6 for stage musicians that want more headroom, but not the bright sound. A win-win for the consumer as they have two flavors to choose from!
I'll give you a very short, sweet, and honest answer. Yes!
I predict that the EM6 will be crowned king of CIEMs, and will make the competition tremble.
Ha ha!
