great review. i definitely fall under the category of only wanting one setup at the home and the office; i'll definitely be checking that setup out. love it!

Hey there!

sounds fun, count me in! thanks

Received my Icon Mobile, and it sounds good! I also LOVE the size, and something unexpected is that it has the same texture on the backside that the fuze does, so they mate together really well. I'm also enjoying the DAC function, which is great, because it's not even something that I was really...

I'd go with MC5. Etymotic generally has good isolation and clarity, and though i don't own them, the MC5 looks pretty well made.

I've decided on either the iBasso T3 or the NuForce Icon Mobile. I really like the size of the NuForce; it's just slightly larger than the fuze in all dimensions. However, I've heard on multiple occasions on this forum that the T3 blows the NuForce out of the water when it comes to sound...

  Quote: I'm assuming you're talking about the LiveWires customs made by EarPeace, and yes I saw them and was very impressed. It was actually the existence of those that prompted me to consider getting custom earphones; it seems to signify that the market is really getting competitive...

  Quote: thanks. I've done quite a bit of research prior to making this post, regarding the actual construction of the devices to the parts used in them (which I found relatively difficult to do except by reading through long forum posts) to other people's impressions. What I want out...

I've decided to get custom earphones. I don't mind paying a decent amount of money as long as I get a lot of value out of it. Any recommendations?
