Thanks, I actually just ordered a pair of mdr 7550 so I'll have to report back once those and my A4 arrive.

Anyone compared these to sony ex800, ex1000, mdr7550?

Tried searching, has anyone compared the PM4 to the FLC8s?

  I agree, but the price/performance of the audio world has always been ridiculous. At least they keep me satisfied enough to avoid $2k CIEMS for now.

I just want to say that I've recently acquired the Flare R2Pro, which I consider to be a direct upgrade from the tenore. It has the same sort of sound signature, but the sub bass is there, sound stage is a little better, clarity is a little better, etc. It also has the same form factor and fits...

  I can't comment on the V2, but the V3 is in a lower tier than the tenore IMO. It just doesn't have the clarity, and has too much bass.   Throwing in my two cents, I've had the tenore for almost a year now and still love them to death with stock tips. I've tried upgrading and just end up...

My god, that sounds exactly like what I've been looking for. It's hard to find quality sub bass without a mid bass hump and compromised mids. Thanks.

Does the Legend R or Omega have the same house sound as the supra? I have a custom supra that I find has good bass (a bit rolled off), pretty good highs, and nice and accurate (but thick) mids. Sometimes the mids seem so thick that they almost sound muddy to me. Is it possible that this is due...

    Do you mean the FS beige foamies or the shure yellow foamies? I used both on my MG7 and agree that they are much better than other tips.

I appreciate the response. It's hard to find any direct comparisons for these lesser talked about companies, but I think the CT500 will be my next step.

Is there anyone who has heard the CT500 and the Aclair RSM Quad?

I'd appreciate any input if any CIEM guys see this.

I'm looking to make my first CIEM purchase soon and I'd like some suggestions and to make sure I don't miss any smaller companies. What I'm looking for is a neutralish IEM with good sub-bass extension, clear transparent mids, flat treble, not a "fun" IEM. A flat/even low end is also important...
