I received my FiiO E17 a day earlier than expected. I bought one used off ebay from a seller with 0 reputation. Fortunately, I wasn't scammed. Hey, everybody's gotta start somewhere right? I am a bit confused, or disappointed with the sound quality, namely the bass.I am probably just used to...

Sorry if this has been stated before, but how much were the 4.A's at their discounted price? 1964 received my second set of impressions yesterday. Can't wait til they ship me my new pair and see how much better they fit! Or.... how they still don't fit perfect...  Also, just wanted to...

Quote: It definitely agree with your description of the V3's having a slightly veiled treble. However, like you said, I do not feel as though I am missing out on any detail or information when listening to music through the V3's. Nothing is excessively emphasized and the bass, while not...

Different categories of sizes exist for custom IEMs? I have never heard of such thing. As far as I know, all custom IEMs are generally the same size: enough to fill up the bowl and cymba area of your ear. I find my 1964 Ears V3s to have more isolation than my Shure SE215s. They're not as...

Quote: That's exactly what happened to me haha. Trust me though, it'll be so worth it when you finally have them in your hands... or ears. I'd like to comment on the fit/comfort of my Shure SE215's compared to my V3's.     The V3's are not by any means uncomfortable, but...

Quote: Ahh, dang it. If this is true, I should have gone with the Quads instead. I do notice the V3's having a bit of a V-shaped sound signature (this is in comparison to my AKG K271 MKII). I thought the Quads were less neutral considering that they have more bass? I'm curious as to how...

So I just received my V3's today and I can say I am thoroughly pleased. The sound is phenomenal and so very detailed. I can pick out basically everything, but it's not what I would call "sterile" or "cold". Few problems though. 1. Occlusion effect is in... well full effect. I think I may...

I received my V3's today! And they're WAY smaller than I imagined them to be. I guess seeing so many large pictures of them online made me think that way. Couple of questions and perhaps problems though: 1. I feel a bit of a pressure-build up with them in. Is this normal? 2. I get quite a...

So turns out my iem's were actually given over to USPS today instead of yesterday... ... So that's a monday delivery. Please pray for me.

Hmmm, wouldn't this cause a majorly V shaped sound signature? I remember reading something about the ear canal amplifying mids and in-ear's not needing a lot of treble because of the proximity of the speakers... Also, how long does it take for USPS to send you the tracking number? Anastasia...

Quote: Ouch... hope you have something to keep you busy during that time. I got a call from Vitaliy today... it was a bit awkward if I'm honest . Nonetheless, nice to know Vitaliy is very much in touch with his customers and isn't up in some pompous elitist cloud looking down on all of us.

Quote: Anastasia emailed me earlier today saying my iem's should go out tomorrow. That means I should be getting them monday at the latest. (Praying they arrive on saturday ). I'll make sure to try to be as detailed about how they sound.

Oh gawd, I'm so jealous right now. Did you guys all go with the rush orders? Hate you all for delaying my pair of V3's  (but seriously). On my 14th day of waiting... On another note, when did they stop doing the customized foam insert on the pelican cases?

I don't mean to be a little impatient brat , but I am going to a bit upset if you guys who bought a V6 receive them before I receive my set of V3's seeing as 1964 received my impressions the day the V6's went on sale. Great review project86! Very detailed and well-written out. Maybe I could...

Speaking of impressions, I must say that I am a bit worried, having realized that I had a pimple of some sort on the "inside" of my ear over 6 months ago. However, it never fully went away, even to this day, and so, is included as part of the impression. It is not by any means a significant...

Quote: Haha. yes im aware of that. i was just using that word for dramatic effect 

Quote:   That's a pretty long time to be fair. I mean, CIEM's are inherently fragile if you consider their structure. The only thing stopping you from crushing your IEM is... well, not stepping on it or rolling over it with an office chair, whatever you can think of. However, the prospect...

Quote: Hmmm, I'm a bit confused. I'm assuming you meant audiophile to refer to people who want FLAT frequency responses. And musicians refers to people who want a signature that sounds more colored and musical? But then in each category there are people with a plethora of different...

Quote: I've already emailed him (albeit without knowing his identity) about a week ago with a screenshot of a mock-up on the JH Audio website and the images attached and I've still received no reply. I also forwarded the message to their order and support addresses since then and I only...

Quote:   Hmm, well I sent them an email about a few days back about seeing if the artwork on mine qualifies as simple artwork and I still haven't gotten a reply. Let's just hope they see it before they start working on my pair of ears :O

So I've been lurking this thread for about a good month now and I just sent in my ear impressions to 1964 Ears yesterday. Interesting about the vinyl tips. I'm not too surprised at all however. I suspected that the vinyl tips wouldn't last very long considering the nature of the things and...

As those of you who own Shure IEM's would know, the eartips on these little buggers are damn hard to pull off and put back on. Trying to do so with your bare hands will most likely result in a mangled and torn eartip (in the case of the foam tips). However, I  have come up with a solution to...
