OK, I have been lurking around the forums enough and now I have to make a final decision: Cowon S9 + Earsonics SM3 vs the Hifiman HM-602 + RE262   Well, as far as I have seen, there is a grand total of zero person outside of Hifiman who have even seen the 262(I may be wrong), and I shouldn't...

Hello to you all; It has been a very very long time since I checked head-fi..and I am kind of glad for that because since I stopped coming here I was able to manage not to spend crazy money on these little things called Headphones :-) I've been using my good old ety's er-4p for the last 6...

Hello,   I have Sennheiser IE7 and Bose in-ear and both really suck, im looking for a new pair of iem's.   Have 350 euros to spend, i listen to electronic music and British pop the most, what you recommend?

First, I must admit, I didn't search for similar threads and I know I haven't read every thread out there, so maybe I've missed something along the way, but maybe someone can explain something to me.    There are single, dual and triple Balanced Armature universal IEM's out there in...

*whoops....mods please move this one to the appropriate forum...   A little background...I started my foray into iems with the Shure e4c which I loved, the cable shorted 2 years later and due to financial constraints I replaced them with Klipsch S4 which were ok but seemed to have a lower...

Hi all   I'm just helping out a buddy, as he torn between choosing between these two top custom earphones   I myself have the SM3, and can't hardly recommend anything better than the em3's should they sound better than the SM3's He's had a listen to my SM3's and was blown away by the...

Dear all, Being a music addict, I'm very interested in in-ear monitors. Everything started with sennheiser IE and CX series, moving to Westone ES2, and some UE. Well, I think that a brand is higly missing in all your comparative : Earsonics. Not to be rude, but the earsonic touch...

  Ok, so this is what i am nervous about.   I have used my SM3 all day long now and i have started to noticed that some of the songs have a small bump for like a fraction of secund litterally. I always notice faults, I hate it! (that faults not that i notice them). Anyway, i thought it was...

I want to choose my new IEM among them , because they were IEMs , I think it should be portable , so I don't want to carry any (portable)amplifier with them. I just want to listen to music in an easy way.   I want some advice from those who has expericed those IEMs , and tell me which of...

This is for you Bennyboy71. Let's all play nice.   Below is a link to the original SM3 thread, which was created by average_joe. It contains a wealth of information but sadly is now closed...

Hi all,   I know the title might surprise a few "who would dare comparing SM3 to RE0?" Don't worry - I am not asking you to do exactly that.   My question is: How can I best spend around 400 $ on getting a new/changed sound experience? With a portable AMP/DAC (like Tomahawk, Pico...

I'd like to know where can I buy the SM3 at a fantastic price?   I had try to buy them @ soundearphones,but the coupon "fg15" seems to be unavailable   yesterday.So I want to know the other place to buy SM3 at the most valuable price.   Thanks a lot.

I've only listened to IEMs my entire life. I've had many cheap earbuds, cheap IEMs, and a handful of nice IEMs. From the list of nice IEMs are the Triple-Fi 10's, Westone UM3X, and the Earsonics SM3 v2's. Out of the 3, I absolutely love the SM3s. I don't know what it is about them that I love...

I would like to know difference of sound between SM3 and SM4. I have SM3, however I would like to listen music by SM4. So, let me know difference between SM3 and SM4.

has anybody heard both of these earphones and care to give me some input about their SQ? im currently using UM2, planning to upgrade to W3, UM3X, SM3 or SE535. i havent heard SM3, and personally prefer UM3X and SE530 to W3.   i know, W3 is still in the picture because i got a great offer...

I posted this question on the SM3 appreciation thread, but I realized either not many people are following that thread 3 months after its creation or not many SM3 owners listen to rock music. So I wanted restate my question in a fresh thread in case the former is the reason behind my question...

Tagline/Disclaimer: Don't read on or you may risk spending more money on a universal IEM than you ever imagined.   Let me start with saying thanks to takoyaki7 for his great review of the FI-BA-SS. Up to this point I had known about the FADs, but not taken them into serious consideration...

Here's the hypothetical. You have a budget of $500. Split into $100 and $400. You can purchase an IEM and a full size headphone... You can use each budget for your choice of IEM or headphone, but you can't mix the two. These would be your only audio gear. I'm predicting everyone picks a full...

If somebody has a Zune 120 and Earsonics SM3? How do they get along? Is there too much hissing? Does the clarity of SM3 decrease when used with the Zune?   These are crucial questions for me, because if I buy an SM3, Zune 120 is definitely going to be my source...   Thanks in advance for...

Trying to decide.. is it worth the extra $200 to upgrade to the SM3? If its a small difference in SQ, I think I could wait. But if you guys think its a world of difference I might save money to buy the SM3 instead of the re-zero

Hi, im kinda new to this, so please guide me along. I need suggestions for alessandro ms2 headphones, um3x and sm3. Also, can portable amp be used to connect to my pc to my speakers? And is there a need for dac? Would appreciate any help I can get.   Thanks loads =)

I lost quite a bit of my hearing about 10 years ago from a surgery gone bad.  I gave up playing bass because I could not hear my bass clearly through an amp, or floor monitors.  I wear hearing aids, but thye do not reproduce the sound anywhere close to where it should be.   I started looking...

I'm wondering what you guys are using as far as IEM's for the Nationite S:Flo2.   I'm looking at purchasing some IEM's for it but I haven't been able to find any information on what people are using with them, so please feel free to post your setup or past setups that you enjoyed.   I'm...

Hello people.   Yesterday my EP-830's passed to another place for like the 100th time. Now im searching for a (much) better pair of IEM's. Price range max 350 euros.   Already found the Westone 3 and the Triple.fi 10 pro very interesting.   Looking forward for your reply's :)

I got my TF10s as my first pair of top-tier IEMs a while back and have seemingly rediscovered music! Everything seemed better and clearer then anything I have ever experience, truly, it brought tears to my eyes.   But then I started getting used to my TF10s and recently have been able to...
