(REVIEW): Etymotic HF5
Not horrible - I mean, they are custom molds, and in my opinion, I haven't seen a custom mold or custom IEM that looks *good*, per se. In hindsight, I wish I would have gotten flesh color instead of the clear (for looks), but the clear definitely has its advantages as well (I can see into the...- SparkyXI

Custom tips are the way to go with these. Unbelievably awesome sound, and second-to-none isolation.- SparkyXI

So... an update. I received my M2's, and have burned them in (full pink noise, maybe 80 hours). They sound excellent - very happy with the audio quality. Definitely true to the music. The cabling is awesome - I'm very anal about my cables being wrapped correctly, and these are wonderful. My one...- SparkyXI

Update: Based on your suggestions, I decided to pick up a set of Brainwavz M2 under preorder ($49.50 shipped: can't go wrong with that). Let's see how these work out. Hopefully I can use these in the studio/on stage as well... the cables definitely look like they cut the mustard, which is one...- SparkyXI

Joker (or anyone else): on the R03, do you find that the seal is secure? If I wanted to use these on stage, might I have issues with them falling out? As a drummer, I have to think about these things. :)- SparkyXI

Again (joker and semisight), thanks for the input. I started researching the Hippo VB before reading your posts - how would the two (Hippo VB vs ViSang R03) compare, in your opinions? After reading up on the RE0, I think I can agree with your assessment. As well, I have smaller ears. Will...- SparkyXI

I listen to anything from rock to doo-wop to soul and Motown. I like a good mix of low and high end, without sacrificing mids. More precisely said, I like a good bit of low end in kick drums and bass guitars, with nicely defined highs and guitar tone. Or even better, a well rounded sound with...- SparkyXI

Hi everyone. First post. Huzzah. So - I would consider myself an audiophile: I have been a musician for most of my life and have prior experience in the recording studio (on both sides of the glass, with an AA Degree as a studio engineer). That being said, I've been rocking Skullcandy...- SparkyXI
