im going to agree with you on that music4321 customs i think are a bit overrated and people seem to hype them up to be some kind of god send.  Customs are really meant for stage use for muscians but does not mean they are better in sound quality than a pair of universals.

I just want to say these ie8s are awesome after 1500 hours burn in lol.  Call me crazy but they sound clearer and more open with more detail.  Oh ya wanted to mention also shinedown live somewhere in the stratosphere sound amazing with these. 

i got krk rp5 g2's and think they are great for the money.  I listened to side by side adam a7's, fostex 0.5n, krks, and some other brand i cant remember the name (canadian company brand).  These were hooked up to an apogee duet using trs cables.  The adams sounded very flat which is great if...

looks pretty interesting... price is fairly high...  ill take 2 pairs :)  

very cool, signed up :)

Quote: looking forward to your thoughts on the 16 since you have the em3 pro which im also interested in.  All you need now is a reshelled westone es5 :)  

that sucks i hate when customs dont fit.  JH should of made a new mold especially when your audiologist asked them to do so, i would be quite mad if it happened to me but what can you do.  hopefully they do it right this time

thanks guys!  havent heard of the es5 till today ill check reviews on that.  I read reviews awhile back on the sm3 and thought thats what im looking for.  Im not sure i like the senn signature or not but i would be totally happy if the bass was a bit more controlled with more clarity and not as...

Im not sure if theres a iem out there that sounds like the sennheiser hd800 but could anyone suggest one that comes close?   currently i have a ie8 and is great for portability but want to get better clarity.

I'm not a DJ.  The music I write is rock which consists of bass, guitar, drums and some symphony so I want to hear all details i can.  I have looked into the SM3 and UM3x but I'm not 100% sure what to get.  syn_fx you say you have the um3x and IE8 is there a huge difference in details?  thanks...

thankyou everyone!  The SM3 looks similar to the um3x im interested in this sm3 ill check out some reviews.  I was also looking at jh audio website and saw they have some cheap customs there.  would any of those be just as good as the sm3 in my price range?   thanks again

Hello, I am needing help deciding what to choose, iem wise for mixing and mastering.  Right now I have ie-8 iems but i cant hear every little detail.  I would like to stick with a IEM but would the sennheiser hd650 be way better for this?  I already have KRK r5 monitors but i need something for...

I am checking back in after 4 months since i bought the ie8's and around 400 hours of listening and i have to say i noticed a huge improvement in sound. Still one of the best IEMS to my ears. I think ill try some sony hybrid tips to see if it makes even more difference...

I would say IE8's would be a upgrade. I bought the turbines previous to these and I used to own livewires, and sure530 but never did it for me. right now im burning in my IE8's and i would say it is about 30% upgrade with the turbines which makes it worth the price to me. If you like rock music...

I have been burning in my IE-8 for awhile now it has probally around 100 hours. There is a bit of a diffrence so far. The tips that it comes with by default already on the IE-8 are the best imo. The bass is tighter and the soundstage is bigger; everything sounds much better. I have tried the...

ncix.com is selling them $50 off if interested. $300 with tax. NCIX.com - Buy Sennheiser IE 8 IE8 Stereo Earphones 10-20000HZ 16 Ohm 4.5FT Black - IE8 In Canada.

I tried them with my computer sound card and they didn't make a huge difference to me. Unless my computer sound card is not any good? Maybe that that might be the cause....

hey, I bought the turbines as well and i was disappointed with their sound. I would sell the turbines and buy a quality full size headphone or buy a better iem like westone 3 for example. The turbines are overrated in my opinion and my $20 sonys sound just as good. You shouldn't need a new sound...

I too bought a pair from futureshop. Im just using it with my ipod nano and its sounds ok at best. When i plug it in to my computer it sounds a bit better. Is that because my computer is like an amp itself? I dont hear any more detail compared to a pair of $20 sony earphones which i was kinda...

I just bought a pair from futureshop for $100. I guess im happy but they didnt really wow me. I am burning them in right now so ill see if it makes an improvement. I have my music cranked up over half way on my ipod is this normal? I havent tried ultimate ears, shure or sennheiers so i dont...

Sorry I havent got back to you I have been very busy with things. I did recieve my money back which I am very happy about.

Ill definitely post back here when and if I get a refund. If i don't see anything in my account by Monday I will be phoning LW again and from there if I am not satisfied, phoning visa will be next.
