Hi folks, Is there an IEM like the UE900 but with better bass? Detachable MMCX cable, good isolation, comfy negative profile in ear since I sleep on my side with them in. UE900s are ok but I'm a bit disappointed in the bass, tried all the different ear tips. Everything else I'm happy with...

Can anyone tell me which tips will provide the best bass with the ue900s? I don't mind paying like $30 with shipping for these, I want more bass!    I was using a double-flange silicone, but 1 of the tips has gone missing... I ordered a triple flange silicone of ebay for like $10 about a week...

didn't read the thread but lol @ the clear cables / plastic. looks like you're wearing a hearing aid. this stuff better come in different solid colours   might as well buy a custom fitted one for around the same price anyway.

ES7 for sure; I have one of these and I get compliments from people all the time.

hmm... very nice links! Thanks! (and nice 1st post as well, bluesw) I was planning to get the es7's from amazon.co.jp (about 12500 yen) But whats the deal with Stax? Aren't those things speakers? = sound leaks?? And the W5000 is out of my price range...

yeah, I guess I'll have to be careful not to scratch the mirrors

lol, yeah but do they have mirrors?? damnnnn!!! *ahem* Anyway, I'd like to use the cans as a portable and not get laughed at... which will happen with those stax...but with the es7, it'll look good, sound decent, won't need an amp, etc. Maybe I'll consider electrostatics in a few years...

wow!! closed can, killer looks (especially in black), not too expensive, not too big.. someone also said they sound like grado sr80's with more bass? ... what more can I ask for? Thank you Carl!!!!

hd650 would be better all around with an amp, especially if you're going to use your cd player to drive them (is that even possible??). I don't own an amp, but I guess the idea is if you connect your headphone through the amp, the sound quality is better.. same goes for cables.

ARE THOSE MIRRORS???? I'M SOLD!!!

mm... maybe I should stick with audio-technicas then? at least they look fairly nice, even though they're quite large...

Can you get the e3 for less than $100??? (new) I thought it was only the e2...

what a butt-ugly can!!! (sr-2050) It looks like they took 2 microphones / speakers and glued them to a headband!! If I took the cans that I am to purchase outside, I'd like to not get laughed at..

sounds like Akihabara might be a hit-or-miss place...

Isn't stax that super expensive kind??? Retails for $1500 or so... that's out of my range... unless if they make anything under $300

"market chains" = yodobashi, etc. ? I guess I'll have to go into Akihabara to get them at a cheap price??

only audio-technica?? I was hoping there would be a few more...

I'll be headed to Japan in a couple weeks, so does anyone know what cans are cheaper in Japan than they are here?

I haven't heard the other players, but I like the HD5's sound quality as well. (with shure e4) Its impossible to hear the buzz unless if the song is extremely quiet.

The plastic ones are ugly as hell. The wood ones are ok, but the metal ones are nice!

I like using the double-flange ones. (never tried the triple flange or comply)

(unamped) Sony HD5 with e4c, faint hiss audible only during the quiet parts of songs.

It says on the estarlab.com site that this player is approximately 64 grams?!?! - its a FLASH player! Damn, that's heavy! I was planning to go running with this sort of thing, but I guess that's out of the question now. And since I live in Canada, I guess it'll be $300 (2GB)for me as well!

So when this player comes out, I'll be able to buy their previous ones flash players for a lot cheaper!
