how does this compare to using the Shure silicone tips? they look kind of similar. I didnt quite like the fit of the um56, it was all a bit weird for me and would always come loose.

very insightful guys! I guess i am just used to the sound of an IEM being so forward and close to the inner ear, which is why i have some reservations of headphones (in the same price range). The only real way to find out is to try and test to draw conclusions. 

i think im looking for a stepping stone for the next step in terms of quality, or even just trying something new. Since theres not much point getting another universal IEM (for me, althought im curiousty to hear the SM3) so i starting looking at headphones in around the $500 range. I guess what...

so would a $5XX pair of headphone be comparable to custom IEMs?   Im primarily using a UM3X now, and im looking to try to get a pair of headphone as well, would sth like  the ATH-ESW9 be a significant improvement, or would i be better off saving for JH-16s :p     i've managed to stay...

its been suggested around here that its better to add at least 1 additional driver to the TF10, just having it remolded seems to lessen the quality a bit.

actually i kind of tested that this weekend, using um3x and customs. customs won of course :)  while the 3x isolation i think is superb, you just cant get the custom isolation out of a universal.

normally around the front, but if im running down the back.

dont forget alot of ppl will recommend you add the mid driver if you remould the tf10,

so its really not that much different than ths S9 or D2 in terms of SQ? lol

just go to the address that firoze mentioned. Mingo has several stores, but the Mongkok is the most comprehensive with alot of stuff to try. Kingsound also has alot to try but not as much as Mingo. HK has cheap electronics in general, but this type of gear i wouldnt say is cheaper. The main...

id wait for the removable, you will have the option in future to get even better cables.

yeh it seems to take a little time to get used to, but once it clicks its great!

what are you using as a player ? The Radio City album is great, having a listen now on the westones, i think its the best sounding DMB live album. But i always thought they could have brought the volume up a bit on Daves guitar. Havent got 10,000 maniacs tho.
