IE7/8 vs TF-10 vs UM2
I have a thing against UE cables. I take extra care of all my IEMs, and the UE cable, by far are of inferior qualities. Do take extra caution especially at the area near the jack. IE8 and westone cables are really good. Wonder what it'll be like to place IE8 cables on TF10?- geralt_ll

Etys Triflange
The isolation is fantastic. The bass is clearer, and can be felt. Due to the large bore of the SF3, I can only push past a certain point on the triflange in my ears, and it isolates sufficiently well. To date, this is the best tip I've come across. I have used Shure silicon, comply, audio...- geralt_ll

Etys Triflange
Unsuccessful attempt with the IE8s. The sound bore feels too fragile, and the I don't wish to dent the metal mesh also. Oh well, the excitement is short lived- still in the search for the perfect tips for my IE8.- geralt_ll

Etys Triflange
Can't believe that I manage to fit the etys triflange on my UE SF3. Gosh, I'm so amazed with the improved in SQ over them. I'm not a comply lover, and have been relying on silicon tips (small size). Pardon if I sound a little noobish, but the Etys RE4p were my latest acquisition, before that...- geralt_ll

Opinions on replacement for UE SF3
I just came back from auditioning the SE210. Don't like it enough to buy it. My SF3 is fitted with ES2 cables. I am looking for a similar sound or better, with this described configuration. I have the PL50s.- geralt_ll

Beg pardon. Something's wrong with my connection. Seems I hit the post button twice, seeing that it took so long to respond.- geralt_ll

Sennheiser IE8 Impressions Thread
Hi there, lately I've also been wondering. I just re-read HPA's review on the W3. I did audition the W3, but my mere experience with it was insufficient for me to form a concrete impression. What I had concluded in that brief time were all the points that the IE8 excelled in. However...- geralt_ll

I am looking for the best IEMs for an ipod under $200
At this point you should also consider how you would like to wear your IEMs. For TF10, it can be worn normal, or over the ears. But the size of it is rather big, so you probably get better isolation and stability if worn over ears. Etys, you wear it normally. But for good isolation and bass...- geralt_ll

NEED HELP WITH IN-EAR HEADPHONES
goodvibes- PL-50s are alright as cheap backups. For mine, I do hear static and buzzing from my PC. Correct me if I'm wrong, this issue is due to the sensitivity of the IEM. They are really comfortable. I can wear them for hours and game. Till now, with Trips and IE8, I've not even given...- geralt_ll

Opinions on replacement for UE SF3
Hi, my portable IEM- UE SF3 will require a replacement soon. It's been in use for over a year and a half, with ES2 cables. Although it is not one of the top tier IEMs I have, I use it when I commute and at work. It's performance and price suits my purpose, and I'd rather not want to worry about...- geralt_ll

Can you trust this er4p conversion cable?
I'm interested in getting the adaptor, as I find the Etys cable rather long as it is- don't wish to extend the length any further. I use it when I commute, and my pockect is stuffed full of cable. I'd like to know if there is any difference in using an adaptor versus the Etys conversion...- geralt_ll

Thinking of selling my westone 3's
Get the IE8s! I got the IE8 first then auditioned the W3, thinking that I may have made a wrong call. In the first few seconds of listening I immediately knew that the IE8 was the better phone for me. Like what others have said, try returning it. If you can't trade it for the IE8s. Beyond...- geralt_ll

IEM Optimization
This journey in looking for the best sounding IEMs to my ears has resulted in a small stockpile of earphones. I rotate them on a frequent basis and mix and optimise individual offering by pairing of cables and eartips. Before continuing, do note it is strictly from my view point, and I...- geralt_ll

IEM choice $400
IE8. If you have Atrios in your sights, then it is advisable that you go for IE8 instead. It will be an overall improvement. Cables are one of the better ones plus replacable. Only issue is the fit, and I resolve mine by using Audio technica silicon eartips.- geralt_ll
