Can you give a quick comment on how the MC5 compares to the pricier ER-4S(or P)?
Haha, what did you expect?

A little more consensus, maybe 70/30 in favor of the SM3. I think it might be backlash against the Earsonics' earlier 'messiah' status.
I still like the CK10/CK100/DBA-02 better but that's because they align with my preferred signature. The fact that I could enjoy the SM3 as much as I did despite them being so far off my preference is a testament to how good they are.SM3 review!! Great work !!
Though i am now not looking at universals now ...the 10/10 ratting of SM3 sure ...have me interested ( cause its signature is a lot different than CK10/DBA/CK100 ..which you like )
to add to that you have now lowered the earlier 10/10 to 9.75
I 've gotta try these now !!
Any chance on reviewing my beloved FX700.
Slightly OT : can the SM3 be remolded !? i mean i am afraid that they will fall apard with all the build quotes i am reading, quite a lot !
to add to that they dont even have removable cable . so if they can be remolded i will be more confident of my purchase !
What would you say is the best all around bang for the buck and/or steal on that list? Maybe even the IEM people must own.
I'm shocked ! Shocked I tells ya !
|Joker|... What? How is it possible that you and I don't hear things exactly the same? Ha!

But really |Joker|... you do a great service here and are responsible for one of the best threads in the forum. Thanks for all you do. Truly.
Even if you are terribly wrong here... 10/10 ? Gimme a break.
There´s much more to IEM´s than just sound quality though. The SM3 doesn´t score that higher in other aspects... To me the CK100 is still the real king in this roundup If only they were sold in the EU :/
[size=medium]Wow, now |joker| is getting beat up! The one universal I still have is the SM3 and I have to say I agree with the 10/10 from a technical standpoint. And I wanted to shout out to |joker| a huge thanks for all of your time and effort into this great thread![/size]
The controversy surrounding the SM3 is what makes me want to hear them. I was extremely close to buying a pair a few months ago but thought it was pretty stupid spending $300 on an earphone with the intention of selling them. Although I guess the CK10 is no longer the 10/10 standard for sound in this thread which is a shame but does make sense. Every good earphone can't be 10/10 so it does make it a bit more exclusive.
