Your favorite IEM you own/owned [Explain Why?] - Page 9

What do you value most in a earphone and ill tell you if in my opinion you should open the ASG-1s!

Okay your asking a lot hear! ASG-1s will happily provide your upfront mids and instruments were you want them with the immense soundstage that it has. As for treble these do not have a lot at all and for instrument separation and extremely forward treble then you maybe be wanting DBA-02! For Durability the ASg-1s will last forever an maybe the DBA not! Comfort and isolation are actually perfect for me with the ASG-1s but as for you there something that will depend on your ears and the only way to find out is too listen! 

 

These are all my experiences that i am saying to hel you find what your look for but not to tell you as people may not agree with me!

 

EDIT: The way you've put you want the treble id have to say DBA-02 for that alone! Check my review in my signature, the name says it all!

 

That's a pretty cheap price so I reckon quote easily but that's not for me to say! Now if you are going to give them a listen you have to do it properly and burn them in enough so that they get to their true sound! Don't jump to conclusions with them!
Are you sure you want one of those too as other than build the sound you want seems to me to be more the DBA-02 of you have that much if a love for treble!

I suggest keeping them for a week - giving them some more burn-in (as i didn't have that much on em) and trying to see if you really like/dislike them.

Then decide what to do :)
 

 

 

Seems like you enjoy targeting, oh well. What I meant is that many people tend to overrate these to some point. It's not horrible in any way, just a little overrated. I find them to have recessed treble, too forward mids, boomy bass and too closed-in soundstage, sure many people could enjoy it, but there aren't many others that could as well. 

 

In that case, if you want them so badly, you should just save for it. And maybe you can even upgrade to the ES3x in the future. 

I'm not speaking for myself since lord knows I can't make a decision but in your case, if it's what you want - save for it and get it!  It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks and you won't know until you try it.  

That's true, although it's very hard for some people to buy IEMs/headphones without trying. So it's rather to take the gamble. 

The reason I started looking farther afield is that the only ER4Ps I could find before I bought the UM3Xs were $300.  I paid $120 for my ER4Ps, as new with all accessories.  At the tiem I think they were going for $200 NIB so I assumed that for $300 I should be able to find something better.

 

That said, I can probably track down the ER4s; I'm sure I haven't properly lost them, just haven't seen them in the last 4 months 3:
 

 

I see, you can do a comparison on which one you prefer when you ever find it.

 

re0 is the clearest for me, my mdr ex1000 is also clear but the simblance on the vocals show more when u crank them up

You got the ER-4S? You will need an amp for that, it sounds soft even at full volume, should have got the ER-4P ;), but then again, it's not cheap. Yes, the EX-1000 is very neutral and balanced.
