  Does he want to use it outside? If not, I will say the Chiri-chan LOL. I'm sure lee would agree with me LOL.

 
I missed the whole origin of "Chiri-chan"....

Quick question of the day: My friend is looking for IEMs under $250.

He described his taste as "intense" sounding. Based on his music taste (folk, indie, emotional stuff) I deduced he would do good with mid forward with good bass. He's averse to sibilance (like me). OTOH he wants something forgiving that can do well with various things. I'm not looking for a perfect answer, just suggestions.

Any thoughts?

Easy: Etymotic ER4P.

The 7550 is amazingly underrated. I dont know why it didn't make a huge splash on head fi given that it's a more forgiving EX1000. Initial availability probably hurt it but you can get it on Amazon now for cheap...

 
Perhaps less people are sensitive to treble spikes than you think. If you can tolerate them, the EX1000 are simply more exciting.
 
Though I agree, current 7550 prices make them a great buy.

Me too, but I think it's about the 7550.

I decided a long time ago to name gear that I love to the characters from this anime. So far only two made the cut. One of them is the MDR-7550. The other named is Nami-chan the modded T50RP as a recap.

Finally I am ready to bestow a name to my MDR-7550. Since it demands exacting standards to be followed (not-crap recordings, exact fitting, proper mindset) and it also strives to show the proper voice of a recording no matter the cost, she shall be called Chiri-chan. <3

Gladly she's not exactly the same as her namesake, but I can be glad when it comes to that eventually. :3

EDIT: The EarPods being an exception since I bought that solely for playing a visual novel and bed use.

I'm sorry if I missed it; I can be dense sometimes; but are you affiliated with a CIEM company?

Where you actually being sarcastic and I totally missed it ?

Wasn't being sarcastic; really thought you're with rhapsodio or something.

I was actually talking about the Miracle thread. And I am definitely not pro Rhapsodio as they seem fishier than a sashimi combo to me

Made a new thread (TPHC) here!

Great - now you guys have made me hungry for some salmon sushi. Luckily, there are about 5 sushi restaurants within 10 minutes of me!

Wow!  Would you happen to know what the ballpark pricing would be on that?  I just happen to have an HE-5LE in need of repair anyway.  Maybe I could justify this to myself somehow...

Around $350? Looks like more work than the Denon cups($200-$300) but less than a FWJ($350-425). Depending on the wood.

Time for some quality time with Nami-chan now.to Muse's The Resistence album. Love the combo. <3<3<3<3<3
