Lol, interestingly put average_joe.   I figured there was a revision, just didn't know for sure. I assume there were no alterations to the shape of the shell?

I've heard there may be revisions of the Sm3s that might use a different material for the shell. Has anyone heard anymore about this?         *Keep in mind, I "might" be selling my ck10s within a couple weeks, not 100% sure though. I find it incredibly hard to part with these...

I received my ck10s a little over a month ago. I can honestly say that ljokerl's review is absolutely spot on in every aspect. They are the most detailed IEMs I've ever used, however, I did find the ck10s a little too sparkly and bright for my taste. This, of course, is not a flaw but rather a...

I wonder if the expandable memory will be compatible with SDXC technology. SDXC cards have been out over a year, I believe it's time players start utilizing this technology.

I understand that RedWineAudio converts the headphone jack of the 4th Gen iPod into a dedicated line-out jack and while an amp is recommended, it's not really required if your head/earphones have a built-in volume attenuator or adapter.   So my question is this head-fiers, how would this...

Ah, Earsonics Sm3, the review I had been waiting for. Fantastic job ljokerl, that was incredibly detailed   I might consider purchasing these someday, though it won't be for awhile since I recently forked out $260 on my ck10's. I'm still waiting on them -_-

Your welcome, RokBoks and kudos on the success with head-direct.   I wonder if those who owned the original, cloth cable version of the re0 had better luck with durability, anyone know? Just curious.

No, the sound quality isn't a huge difference at all. I just get no distortion with the Fuze. Distortion with the Zune 120 is practically non-existent, but on some occasions I can hear a slight hint of it with certain highs. You're using a 4g nano, so distortion may even be much less than my 2g...

I do use my re0's quite often, even though the left driver has become a little bit defective, I used scotch tape to fix it as I wait for my next IEMs. I don't use them with my nano often, but have enough to know I prefer them paired with my Sansa Fuze or Zune 120.

On my iPod 5.5g and nano 2g it does have some distortion on high volume, not on medium volume, however. I'd say distortion starts at about 70% volume level. A Fiio E5 may improve the re0, but not to it's fullest potential.

I purchased the CK10's from www.accessoryjack.com for $260.

  Quote:   Almost 7 years?! That's truly incredible, but I ended up ordering the Audio-Technica CK10 a few days ago. Thanks for the advice anyway, mate.

No, they aren't difficult.   I haven't heard the Sennheiser CX680's, CX500's, nor the Klipsch S2's. So I can't really be the Judge. From what I've gathered, I would assume that the RE0's are better.

Quote: Thank you. It's a pity Audio-Technica discontinued the ck10s, they still seem to be rather popular, least on here.

Well I did it.....I finally ordered the ck10. I anxiously await their arrival.
