Thank you for the write-up.   I remember those days listening to Hayley Westenra using e-Q7.

Thanks for the information guys!

Thank you for the interesting comparison twister6.   I saw the InEarz-reshelled Pro50 have MMCX connector. Is it the one inherited from the original Westone or InEarz offers MMCX connector as well? 

Oh thanks for sharing! 30 days to go.

EarSonics Facebook did show a teaser but where did you get the information about that something being an universal IEM?

I think my bad english has got you confused.   I don't own any customs. What I meant was, on a plane or train, with shallow fit universal IEMs I have to increase volume more than I usually do in quiet environment. I actually bought a pair of ER-4 for the sole purpose as traveling IEMs. The...

Yes please let us know once you receive them.   Is the limited color selection of black or clear applied to both the shells and the face plates, or the shells only?

  Hi AnakChan, thank you for your thoughts. I admit that I didn't search thoroughly, but did you post any review on the MH335DW-SR?   I realized that you had Ortofon eQ-7 and Ocharaku Kaede in the past, how would you compare the MH335DW-SR to them regarding midrange? I owned the eQ-7 and...

My information might be old... FitEar doesn't disclose the drivers and network configuration of Aya purposely, because they want their customers just to enjoy the sound without any bias based on the specifications of the IEMs. However I think you can more of less speculate the drivers...

Do custom IEMs provide more noise isolation than universal fit IEMs? I find that I have to volume up more than usual using universal fit IEMs.

Is the Velvet no longer available in black?

Didn't really follow the whole thread, so if this has been discussed before...   Energizer XP8000 Anyone using such (big, in size ^^) batteries to power Stepdance, or other portable amps?

I have similar experience as well.   I bought a pair of open headphones, Sanwa Supply MM-HP116 for $8, thinking of taking the headband to use with my KSC75. However when I listened to these I was surprised at how 'right' they sound. No bloating bass, no piercing highs, no muddy sound. In my...

In my opinion, unmodded SM3 is lacking some edge in the high mids. Some head-fiers replace the stock paper-like filters of SM3 and tweak the sound to their liking with other materials like foam. Do some search on the locked SM3 thread will show you precious information on this ^^   Although...

  Quote: Thanks for the comparison!   I was thinking to get the 435S for their soundstage, bass, and low impedance, but from what I read, the dryer midrange might be a disappointment. I am spoiled by some really good quality mids from IEMs. So the search for full-sized headphones...

  Quote: I agree with you   I bought a pair of UM3X last month, since then I have been using the UM3X daily. I prefer UM3X to SM3, for its more present high mids, consistent perfomance on all type music, and the friendly Y-split of UM3X ^^   What meurglys0 said seems to make...

Hi Zombie_X   Was doing some research on full-sized headphones and came across to this awesome thread of yours. Really appreciate your good work for the community!   I read in another thread and noticed that you had a pair of German Maestro 435S. I noticed that you have already sold...

  Quote: Busy with some assignment lately... But I never forget listening to music   Sorry for my poor comprehension, by 'drill out the bore on my custom tips', do you mean you want to make the nozzle's opening bigger?   The multifilament tips you sent to me (thanks!) sound...

  Quote: average_joe prefers his EarSonics's custom tips. koonhua90 and slaters70 who use UM56 for their SM3 also prefer(ed) custom tips to the other tips. So, in my opinion, you won't know how good, or bad custom tips are until you try out yourself       Quote:  ...

hasanyuceer, for your information (in case you miss this awesome chart): average_joe's tips choice and comparison    I have a pair of custom eartips (from Earsonics) for my SM3, but I prefer the Sensorcom double-flange more. Easy to fit and don't sound as warm as the custom eartips. The...

  Quote: I think when people say Sensorcom tips they mean these: Sensorcom Double-Flange Silicone Tips   These double-flange tips have larger opening compare to those Westone single/triple-flange tips. In my case (and I believe most Sensorcom tips lover here), I have to cut the...

You already know the signatures and details about the three and you are starting a poll?   I know how it feels. Even I know A suits me better I can't help but to look into B at the same time...

Glad you like the smaller tips james :)   The first to discover this is ericp10, koonhua90, and cn11. I was just suggesting :p   So james are you going to write another review for FX700? :)

  Quote: I sent my SM3 to EarSonics asking for repair, because I realised that bass from the right earpiece is louder then the left. EarSonics confirmed that there is some problem on the left earpiece and they are going to solve them.   I know another head-fier who had this problem...

SM3 and UM3X is not the same, but I find that this chart is very useful.   When playing tips on IEMs with narrow nozzles, just like the UM3X, it is good to prepare a set of 'spacers' (the plastic tube you can find in the comply tips), so that you can fit tips of different aperture on your UM3X.
