The S-EM9 amazes me every time I listen to it.

It's so well tuned, and makes everything I listen to sound like the earphone was made for it. There isn't a single genre the S-EM9 doesn't sound great with to my ears.

that surprise doesn't last long, by the way, you could compare with the se846?

 
It's getting really cold outside, do you think you can compare it to W40 before you sell it?

I have already sold on another site.

well, except the auto bot will be able to have 5 positive and 1 neutral feedback?

Hey Godsod, curious are you using google translator to English ?

Possible. I think he's Danish, look at this profile picture.

Maybe his name is Lars..

The one on the left in both pictures below.  It's a regular single flange tip, I can't use double flange or any other fancy tips since my earcanal is wide and has a sharp turn (making insertion a bit shallow).  This one gives a perfect seal and very comfortable too.  I think the tips are T200 size which is not as common, thus I had to use a "spacer" for my other more common eartips with a wider bore opening.  But the one Earsonics going to provide with all upcoming releases is below on the left, and it does the job!  Otherwise, nothing fancy, just a regular tip.


 

Thanks man. Outside it has a similar shape to the spinfit cp800 for Shure which I use and recommend. The canal is wider though.

hard to imagine signature less alike.

Hi. I have a dilemma now choosing between S-EM9 and ES3 (as a little brother but very affordable).
It will be in addition to my Etymotic ER4SR. So I prefer a neutral reference sound which I get from the Ety.
So my concern here is not to get a V or U shaped IEM. I also hate a warm sound with an elevated and slow mid bass (Westone family as an example).
 
Will I accept the S-EM9 or this will not be my "cup of tea"? Thanks.
 
P.S. I owned the SM64 in the past and I know well the S-EM6 ( too dark and bassy)

Hi Mimouille,
 
You seem to have tried many of the new TOTL iems.  Can you list your top 3 universals for fit & sound?  What are you keeping?

I have tried all of the earsonics, including the new ES2 and ES3.  The S-EM9 has good fast, tight, neutral sound, very 3D.  Not at all like the S-EM6 which I agree is too dark for me.  Velvet is very nice too, but sounds a tad too thin for me.
 
ES3 is very nice too, very similar to the S-EM9 but slightly warmer.

Well you can see the ones I have. KSE1500, EM9 and Prophile-8.

Thank you.  I figured as much, but sometimes what is listed is different from faves.  Had to ask.  Just trying to wrap my head around the cost of the sem-9...

Hello everybody. I am proud to announce that begin next year, I will be starting a shootout of 15 flagship iems/ciems, including the S-EM9 of course.

In my opinion, all iems in this range are overpriced. But the ones staying below 1.5 less so than the crazies around 3k (except KSE1500 as it included the amp and really is technically different).
