    Westone ES5

    I made sure to buy both lengths. I'm 5' 11" and the 50" cables will not allow my iPhone or Galaxy S3 to sit at the bottom of my front pants pocket. Since the 64" cable is way too long, I just us a sandwich bag tie and manually shorten it to the perfect length for my height and distance to the...

    Westone ES5

    It would have been too awesome to try out a bunch of ears.

    Westone ES5

    ES5 #513 here and I love love love these customs. At this point, I rarely EQ anymore. I listen to many genres of music and I'm constantly in awe of how accurately they reproduce each genre the way the artists intended. If your source is decent and your files are FLAC or better, you will most...

    Westone ES5 Review (and brief comparisons to other custom IEMs)

    I've partied with my Audiologist and she indicated that she paid ~$750ish for the ES5's. She received no SPIFF for my custom artwork.

    Flashlight-Fi (LED & Conventional)

    You'll pay $38 for the copper. I got my Maratac lights from Countycomm.   http://www.countycomm.com/aaacopper.html

    Flashlight-Fi (LED & Conventional)

    The C2 is my favorite Surefire. I had one Cerakoted at a local gun shop in a couple different colors.

    Flashlight-Fi (LED & Conventional)

    I agree with Chris. I love Titanium innovations CR123's. They even sell them shrink wrapped in sets of two or three, for your flashlights. You should never mix lithium batteries, so this is a perfect solution. I also like Rayovac because they are built in the same factory as Surefire. And you...

    IEM for iPhone Help Needed

    Soon Westone will release its MICS removable cable. That opens you up to even better choices like the UM3X RC, W4-R, as well as all their customs, which start at $399 for the AC2.    I use my Westone ES5's with my iPhone 4S and can't wait to be able to take calls with them. Good luck on your...

    DHC Impressions and Reviews

    I've had my DHC cables attached to my Westone ES5's for about 16 weeks now. I've probably burned 20 hours a week through them, or about 320 hours in total. I've had such a blast going through my music and hearing things I've never heard before. On a bad note,  I've come to the realization that...

    iPhone 4S audio chip ?

      Quote: Oh boy, please explain! What actually makes it sound better? You know, through the DAC and amp via the headphone jack? Or through the dock connector--external amp---etc? Headphones? In ear monitors? Floor monitors? 5th order band pass box in a crew cab Chevy with 6x9's in the...

    iPhone 4S audio chip ?

    Quote: If anyone can unseat Apple, it's Microsoft and it's deep pockets. While I use an iPhone, I have absolutely NO qualms about jumping ship for something better. Apple had been resting on its laurels for long enough. If not Mango, I hope the next MS OS is paired with industry-leading...

    iPhone 4S audio chip ?

      Quote:   And just how do you come to that conclusion?   The Nexus has a .2ghz faster processor, but is it optimized specifically for the Nexus and it's hardware? No.    The Nexus has 1GB of RAM vs 512, but is it optimized specifically for the Nexus? No.    You only...

    Westone ES5

    I'm also contemplating sending mine back for a re shell but that $350 is putting me off. I'd pay $150 just to have the artwork changed I guess. Anyone have just the artwork redone and know a price? I think a simple design looks best. Mine just has too much gong on in the background.
