I use my customs almost all of the time.  I find them extremely more comfortable then universals now.  I also have found them to be very easy to take in and out (especially compared to foam).  It's all about rotation.   lately I have been using full size cans at work though.

Quote: Try reading my whole post including what the OP asked.  He stated that he heard the Denon's leaked and asked if the Hifiman leaked more.  I think my post pretty much answered that.  The Denon's leak is minimal compared to the Hifiman.  Hence why I stated "I owned the HE-300 and it...

Quote: I don't know about the HE-500 since the planar has a little more meat in the cup, but I owned the HE-300 and it leaked a LOT more then my Denon D2000.  I mean a LOT.  I use the D200 in a cube environment and I haven't heard any complaints.  So although they do leak a little, it's...

Get a Fiio e17.  Its apparently even better then the e10's quality dac, but still has all the portable features of the e7.  Thus you can use it as a quality dac/amp at home, and as a good amp on the go with a DAP.  Get an LOD too. 

I just bought the D2000 for work as well.  Another pair I was looking at was the Fisher Audio FA-003, whihc is also considered the Brainwavz HM5.  it is more neautral then the D2000 and less.  I say buy another pair of D2000 and do the Lawton mods.

@nicholars - You were just talking about sellign the D2000 and downgrading to the D1100!  The D5000 are mine.

I have the original D1001, which some say are better then the D1100 and some say are worse.  That being said, I have not heard the new D1100.  I just bought the D2000 and love them compared to the D1001.  I haven't done a direct comparison yet since I need to fix the 3.5 plug on my D1001, but I...

What happened to the e15?  Is it still in the works?  Any potential release timeframe?

I thought the wording was odd myself when I first saw pictures of the e10, but I did immediately understand how the switch worked.   I like option C though.   I can understand what some are saying about bass being "off", but you could call it bass boost with either "on" or "off".  Or you...

Has anyone compared the E10 to the Audinst MX1 or Yulong U100?

Cliff I am waiting for your thoughts on pins and needles.  Please give us an update.

Quote: I almost agree.  I too dislike the Trips and Clip+ combo, but I wouldn't call it really horrible.   I was surprised though because I have always found the Clip+ to be such a clean great source for all of my other IEMs.
