I think you have to consider the fact that this particular IE80 is ranked higher than the much heralded Roxanne. I love Headfi.....

Its more or less my quirky taste, I have a bit if an aversion to the BA sound signature, and the IE80's (albeit a little muddy) was my ideal sound, until I came across the DITA Answer, which just checked all the boxes for me These are individual opinions people, I could (if I wanted to) rate the SR009 below a Koss Portapro and no one could argue

I don't know why ue900 and sm64 were low ranked commonly , i listen too sm64 with amp 911 it was very impressive but the price maybe just too high

idk about sm64 but ue900 has a really dark sound from what i heard. I've tried two different models and they both disappointed me. It has this muffled sound to it that I can't quite put my finger on.
They also have terrible quality control, so two UE900s may sound completely different. There are also issues with UE900 being packed in UE900s packages....
it's just a dodgy product in my opinion

These iems can change their order on any given day depending on the mood I'm in. Plus their is one pair that I have not put in their that I find truly remarkable and don't get talked about on this site hardly at all. For what reason is beyond me ,, the denon AH-C400. I think they are one of those really underrated iems for sure. I'm not that good at describing sound sigs but to me they are very transparent with probably one of the best treble and mids I've heard. The bass is there. It's very tight and fast. There is no bleeding anywhere. Seperation is great and they are very detailed. Truly and audio file iem . They sound good unamped but sounds even better amped. Really I would put them pretty close to or if not on the top of me list of course this is only my opinion

Just out of curiosity if you have heard the top of the line offerings from JH what makes you interested in the Westone custom line? I used to have ES3x's and honestly preferred universals over them.
