these things seem to tickle the sides of my brain...  anyways, about the sound.  it seems the "missing" space that IEMs tend to have right in front of the forehead is smaller with these.  I think the bass has also deepened increased a little and i can hear a bit more in terms of details.  nothing supremely groundbreaking, but overall turns it into a better IEM.  Isolation has definitely gone up.  i can't hear typing or anything around me anymore.  I might experiment and chop off the top or bottom lobe to see if there are any differences between them.  going to the library to study now.  these things now bring complete silence.  i think that's what i enjoy the most about them.  haha

hmm, i think the result of the IEM sounding better is due to the increased isolation.  it allows you to hear the bass better and more of the music that is lost due to outside noise leaking in.  the treble on these really shine for me now.  you can hear EVERYTHING.
 
also, i showed the christmas trees to my roommate, and he just started laughing.

wait until you invest a nice custom
 
Just curious but has anyone gotten custom tips for the CK10? It's not terribly expensive and it may give me a similar sound to the triple flanges while being more comfortable

Don't know of anyone getting custom tips for them but I know some guy got his reshelled into an odd looking earplug like thing. They looked almost bullet shaped instead of the more traditional shape for customs. I remember he spoke very highly of the results, sorry don't have more specific's on it, might be worth looking at...

 

[germanturkey]

i remember that too.  that was really weird.  i think he kept the original cable or something.

I recall that but I'm not reshelling the CK10. It seems like a waste since the CK10 is already comfortable and fits great. For $100 or whatever the price is they seem tempting but only if I keep the CK10 ;p

With you on this one rawrster, I would consider custom tips for my CK10's but never a shell, I honestly think a reshell would have a lower build quality and destroy the amazing form factor and fit of the CK10's within my ears. Plus, I couldn't stand thinking of my CK10's being torn apart and having their drivers ripped out

I'll find out sometime around the summer. I'm planning on keeping the CK10 until I do a comparison with another top universal. I need something to compare it to since the rest I have are not top universals and customs are not the same. If I want the custom tips I have to commit to keeping the CK10 since there aren't many earphones with this nozzle size unlike the UM56 which fits a lot more than just Westone.

Good point about nozzle size, they would be pretty much useless for any other universals. Would be interesting too since the CK10's lack any sort of ridge or lip or anything really that would help the tips stay on and secure. I'm sure you could find someone to do the job it's just an interesting/unique case

Hmm...I'm very interested in this product. Anybody here from Singapore? I asked a lot of shops here for CK10 and they always say that this IEM is already phased-out/not in production.
 
Where can I purchase these IEMs here?

 

[rawrster]

Maybe if I decide to sell mine which is something I've been thinking about lately lol
 
You can also get it imported from Japan which isn't too far away

 

[kingpintps]

You can buy it from AccessoryJack.com or from MusicaAcoustics.com (where I got mine from)

I thought you just got yours! 

 

[rawrster]

I did but if you read back a few pages it was on impulse and with the clear intention of selling them shortly after

 

[SolidSnake3]

Ah ok well that makes sense then
