    Dekoni Fidelio X2 Choice Pads!

    Definitely interested! That there’s no official spare parts is a big limitation of these headphones. It would be great to buy a couple of spare pairs to have peace of mind.

    New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

      Yeah, I know what you mean. It changes with the light too, which doesn't help. On my screen the picture is pretty accurate though, I adjusted it a bit in photoshop to get it more correct. Obviously if your screen is calibrated differently to mine we'll always be seeing different things!

    New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

    I got my Music Two on Monday. Chuffed to bits. I love the custom colour (was initially going for a much more saturated green but decided I wanted something more transparent). The fit is great, and to me, they sound amazing. Very, very happy, particularly considering what I paid for them! Me and...

    Custom Art – Music Two – Appreciation/Discussion/Impressions/Review Thread

    Does anyone have amp recommendations for the Music Two? I'm worried a lot of headphone amps will have background hiss and be too powerful due to the IEMs' high sensitivity. I'm looking at the FiiO E12A but I'd rather not spend that much.

    Portable amp for my first CIEMs - do I need one, and if so, what should I get?

    Hi,   I'm getting my first CIEMs in a few weeks, the Custom Art Music Two. I've been thinking about amps.    The specs on these are:   The manufacturer says 'Use of external headphone amplifier is highly recommended.' However, they do have a quite high sensitivity, which, the way I...

    New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

      You're right, and that's why a detachable cable is appealing. On the other hand, not wanting a memory wire does restrict my options in aftermarket cables a lot if I don't want to void the warranty by buying one with a memory wire and removing it. In fact, the only ones I've been able to find...

    New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

      It's mildly disappointing, but Piotr is very responsive by email and has the very best of reputations, and him and myself being in Europe makes things not too difficult - one of the many reasons I chose Custom Art :)

    New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

    Thats what I thought too, but Piotr told me that the detachable IEM is more likely to die first because of the connector, and I'm inclined to take his word for it.. I've also read elsewhere about people having problems with the connector in other silicone CIEM brands. I also already asked him...

    New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

    Thanks for the reply. If you could take a picture that would be really useful. Your recommendation for a 90 degree adapter concerns me a bit - I'd rather not be doing that if I can get away with it. Thats not very reassuring! If it's that delicate it's probably not for me as that's the bit I...

    New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

    I'm having a bit of trouble making a decision regarding cables and was wondering if you guys could help. I'm getting the Music Two, my first cIEM. I'm trying to decide between getting the stock non-detachable cables, and asking Piotr to send the IEM with detachable connectors and buying the...

    Custom Art – Music Two – Appreciation/Discussion/Impressions/Review Thread

    Thanks for the reply. I've been looking at the linum range but I'm worried with them being so thin I'd destroy them. How solid feeling are they? I tend to get through a lot of cables. I was also ideally after a black cable but i think no memory wire is more important than the colour. Do the BaX...

    Custom Art – Music Two – Appreciation/Discussion/Impressions/Review Thread

    Placed my order for my Music Twos yesterday. Pretty psyched! I liked the colour of Sirenia's venoms so much I've asked Piotr to try and reproduce venomous green in silicone for me.    I went with non-detachable cables but am sort of regretting that so have sent Piotr an email about changing. I...

    First CIEMs (Europe, £250 budget)

    Thanks! I'm going to call around some audiologists to see about getting some impressions made. May as well set the ball rolling while I'm figuring out which CIEMs to go for.

    First CIEMs (Europe, £250 budget)

    Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it. I did consider just custom silicone tips but I think I pretty much have my heart set on proper customs, though. I know universals in my budget would be better, but then again, all the reviews that I have found of the Custom Art offerings within my...

    First CIEMs (Europe, £250 budget)

    My first 'real' IEMs, a pair of Shure SE215s recently were (accidentally) taken on a weeks' hiking in the Scottish highlands and got very wet, and are a bit worse for wear now, not sounding as great as they once did. In my eyes, this is the perfect opportunity for a first foray into the world of...

    Accidentally took my SE215s through a week of hillwalking in rainstorms. Look what happened. What are my options? (Help with water damaged IEMs)

    Yep, as I said, I was using that trick to try and dry them out.   After a couple of days in rice the condensation inside the right earphone is still the same. I'm thinking it's trapped in there behind the diaphragm and doesn't really have any way of getting out.   They sound fine and are...

    Accidentally took my SE215s through a week of hillwalking in rainstorms. Look what happened. What are my options? (Help with water damaged IEMs)

    Took them out of the rice today and the cable had returned to looking like normal and both sides were working, but I thought I could hear a bit less bass response in the right one than the left. I've been using them all evening, and just took them out of my ears, and suddenly realised the right...

    Accidentally took my SE215s through a week of hillwalking in rainstorms. Look what happened. What are my options? (Help with water damaged IEMs)

    This evening I arrived home from a week walking in the Scottish highlands with a friend (which was amazing) and was looking around for my Shure SE215s to listen to a bit of music. I couldn't find them where I thought I'd left them. A vague feeling of dread in the bottom of my stomach, and I...

    FIGHT THE BEATS HYPE (Ultrasone HFI-580/HFI 580 appreciation thread)

    Can anyone tell me if the warranty on these requires buying from an authorised retailer? I've had problems with this in the past with Shure. Ordered a set of 580s from Amazon UK (not sold by Amazon but fulfilled by Amazon) yesterday and it suddenly occurred to me. I'm wondering if my warranty...

    Shure Black Foam Sleeves with Soundmagic PL21?

    Quote: Okay, maybe the foam sleeves arent such a good idea. What about comply tips then?   EDIT: I went ahead and bought the Olives, but my PL21s were stolen before the olives arrived. I had an old 'fake' eBay pair of Sennheiser CX300s lying around, with a much larger nozzle than the...

    Shure Black Foam Sleeves with Soundmagic PL21?

    Hi, can anyone tell me whether the black foam sleeves will fit on the SoundMagic pl21 nozzle?   I read somewhere that they could be modded to fit on the PL11. I used to have the PL11, and the nozzle was quite a bit bigger than the pl21's.   Also, can anyone tell me which comply tips will...

    Replacement foam eartips for Soundmagic PL11

    Thanks for the help. I guess if it's the only option I will get the Comply T400s, it's just that i've heard they don't last very long.
