Got the clear ones. Didn't think colour would make a difference.


I figured just to be on the safe side. Not sure if the other colors may be a different material. I know a different material will result in a different fit and sound.... I'm not really sure what Tralucent normally supplies with the 1Plus2 (if they even include tips....).

They do include tips - S/M/L/XL normal ones like the JVCs apparently.

Keep hounding Lee for the DX100 Girls Generation (see I used your whole name unlike a certain someone lol). I'm sure Lee will break down sooner or later and just buy us one each!

Well they never sent me a set of tips besides the TF10 pair... tongue.gif devil_face.gif

 

I'm really becoming more and more infatuate with the DX100 just through its full-size headphone jack. It's really good :). Before I was always using an amp with it while at home and now I'm more apt to just use it without an amp. Love how well the full-size jack takes control of the sound. The 3.5 is a bit more fun and has less control/separation. This makes for a versatile unit when moods change :P.

So the V-MODA bass/ V-MODA vibe duo tips bring the mids more forward and gets rid of some mid-bass that creeps into the mids. It in turn makes it every so slightly less punchy but just a touch, literally just a touch. Since the mids are more forward now, the stock tips sound a bit more spacious in general.

So you agree then? :). Those subtle differences for me can add up to a large difference and can make or break synergy.

It'd extremely hard to tell at the moment though, it's SO subtle... I could only really tell by having one tip on one side and another on the other side. :P

 

Synergy is so much better with the O2 at the moment. I blame the silver/gold cable.

Makes me wonder what possessed a company like UE to finalize a flagship IEM with such crap cables. Considering Jerry Harvey was still around at the time I'm even more surprised. Supposedly he's a stickler for the fine details One of these days I really should give JH Audio a shot.

----------------------------------------------------------

Since we're all infatuated with the DX100 I vote we all chip in a few bones and hire a team of ninja's to get lee's DX and send it out on tour.

Well you'd think with all the engineering that went into creating the ES5 and their sound, they'd use a good cable for maximum transparency. Nope, they use the crappiest cables that sound like complete crap, muffles the hell out of the sound.

Sorry dude.......Gotta protect my Brudda.....us Hawaiians gotta stick together.

Lee, I think you should entrust the DX100 to me for safe keeping. I'll make sure to keep everybody's grubby paws off (cept mine of course).

So lets say you had not changed your ES5 cables would you have kept them? Just curious?

 

Good luck with those ninjas, you'll be up against natural instinct :P.

I would've sold my ES5 if it weren't for cables. The muffle was inciting RAGE in my soul.

Been lurking in the thread for a while until I saw the cables part. I just got my UE IERM. Just want to ask that, if I change its cable, wouldn't I change its perfectly neutral sound signatures?
