... The ASG2 can be hard to fit and are pretty boomy sounding, the SM64 have tighter, better controlled and more well defined bass, clearer mids and more treble detail (without it being harsh). The ASG2 do have a better cable.
I tend to recommend the ASG2 for people that are mostly after bass and not much else.
I test the ASG2 every few weeks to make sure I'm not crazy
edit: yep, just did another comparison - the ASG2 has slow, boomy bass (even adjusted), recessed mids and fair treble. The SM64 bass is tighter and punchier, if not quite as prominent (I wouldn't want more), but still nice and deep and solid (just without the slow or boomy). The Midrange on the SM64 kills the ASG2 so for vocals the 64 is much nicer and the treble on the 64 is smooth and detailed.
Pretty much a no brainer for me.
I'm honestly not sure how the current ASG2 price is justified ($549) let alone what our next batch will be priced at if we get stock again ($699)..
edit2: I thought about it a bit, and here's another way I'd put it - the ASG2 remind me of the DT770, the SM64 remind me of the MSPro. It's not 100% accurate of course, but a decent analogy."
Pretty trustworthy guy too... hmm
And so it should, considering the price difference.

"I'm not that big a fan of the ASG2, I think the Earsonics SM64 sounds way better personally. I was actually really disappointed when I first heard the ASG2 because I expected them to be pretty good.

It's interesting that these dealers would order more stock for a product they thought was trash, with the exception of the cable of course.
Funny how this guy's ASG-2 assessment is pretty much the exact opposite of Gintaras', who thought the cable was trash, but the rest was fine.
+1 you guys nailed this troll! G2s mid will always be something to reckoned among the best iem made.
I'm not trolling :\
Just thought I'd provide another perspective on the IEM from a knowledgeable person...
Then again he didn't like the HD650 much (I think it's a bit overrated too)
