    Earsonics SM3 Appreciation Thread - Third Time is a Charm?

    Just dusted mine off after 8 years.. Had to epoxy one shell back together and from before, I have modded them taking out the filters and using some random foam instead.. popped them in and gave them a listen.. still love that midcentric liquidy sound. Anyone know anything with a similar sound...

    Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread

    I'm looking to upgrade to six drivers.. problem is I don't know which I should reshell.. my options are either the TF10's, the SM3's, or my 1964 Q's.. can anyone who has any of these reshelled to 6 drivers give me any insight on which you think would yield the best results? I love a little from...

    1964 Ears

    I got my Quads in yesterday. Loving them so far. Fit is perfect. Coming from SM3's and TF10's, they are much clearer than the SM3's and not shrilly and sibilant like the TF10's. By far though the highlight in these are the bass. I find they are a good match for those who listen to trance or any...

    Top Tier Showdown (Top Pick Announced)

    I'm really enjoying reading this thread. I've been stuck on the SM3's for almost a year and found that I like the sound signature best with the foam filter mod/with stock silicone tips. Does anyone else take those little stock filters out? Anyway, at first impression I too felt the SM3's were...

    Earsonics SM3 Appreciation Thread - Third Time is a Charm?

    Hey guys, I've had my SM3's since last year summer and have been using them almost everyday since.. although I have to admit that there's a lack of sparkle to the highs, I've grown an appreciation for the addicting sound signature. I had accidentally forgot my SM3's in a shirt pocket as I got...

    Looking for durable IEMs, price range $80-$200

    my SM3's just went through a full wash cycle when I forgot to take them out of my shirt pocket while doing the laundry.. they still work and the only damage is to the plug end... pretty durable if u ask me...

    RE2 --> RE0? RE Zero?

    I don't know what it is but I'm really trying to love the re-zero's, but the mids, particularly certain vocals and some guitar sounds are rather too harsh for me. I've given them 250 hours of burn in and they have smoothened out a lot... but wow, they sure take a while to break in I guess. Has...

    My review of the Hippo Shroom EB

    Just thought I'd come back and post my findings after around 175 hours of burn in. The Shroom EBs are really a bang for the buck iem. To me they sound like an RE0, the smoothness and detail.. and warmer than the original Shrooms... I find the sound signature quite non fatiguing, a very pleasant...

    The All New Earsonics SM3 Appreciation, Discussion and Review Thread!

    I just received my SM3's 3 days ago. I gave them the last 2 days of listening to get used to them. I have to say, I'm loving them every bit. I can see why people say the highs are a bit recessed though. The SM3's are a tad to the warm side with the mids forward and the bass very prominent...

    REVIEW: HiFiMAN RE-ZERO. Top of the IEM Food Chain? Let's Find Out!

    I'm not quite sure yet as my burn in on them isn't complete but initially the bass seemed very similar... so if you get them, you may wanna keep that FiiO E5 handy.

    REVIEW: HiFiMAN RE-ZERO. Top of the IEM Food Chain? Let's Find Out!

    I just got mine in today. Did a quick listen alongside my RE0's... initially they sound similar, bass, treble, etc... a little sibilant, a lot more volume from the impedence difference. I'm now burning them in using Dweaver's file from the MTPC thread for bringing out the mids and bass... can't...
