Anybody had both the 16v2 and the Layla and could offer an A/B? They look really similar on paper and by the FR graphs and I'm wondering what the major difference is for the extra $1,200. I've also read that the Angie sounds a bit like a little sister of the Layla. Anyone?

Love everything about these except the FR bump in the upper mids. Wouldn't mind a bit more extension above 8khz either. What should I try next? The FH7?

Hello in there... It's been like 10 years since I posted anything here! And now I feel old having realized that... I'm on a quest and I need help. I'm a live audio engineer and I'm wading through the vast sticky quagmire of all these new IEM's from all these different companies trying to find...

I think your the only one here that's had both. I think I know what your gonna say but I'll ask to make sure. Which do you prefer? I bet your gonna say you like the Future Sonics on stage and the UE's off. Anybody else heard both? I'm thinking the UE 7's or 10's or 11's vs. the...

I'm into dynamic drivers. I love the Atrios. I'd freak about the Customs if I could drop the $900. What's the difference in sound quality? Also, Looks like the Atrios and the FS1 were essentially the same IEM with slight variations. Anybody heard both?

So I just spend an hour authoring a post and the forum ate it when it asked me log in again cause I timed out. GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! So anyway, I wanted to rap a bit about the technical aspects of IEM's. I really like Dynamics and a lot of folks in the pro audio biz do as well...

I love my Atrios but the cables are starting to get stiff from age and reacting to body salts. The drivers are still perfect. At some point they're gonna be hard to work with. I had this happen to the original "Ears" universal IEM's. Contemplating a mod to make the cables replaceable using...

This may have been said before, if so...sue me. So I gotz me a 16GB first gen phone. I love it, but immediately had to run all over town to find a headphone adapter to use my favorite earphones the Future Sonics Atrios. You know them, you love them. They're my favorites. Especially with...

I wrote this to vent my frustrations and you guys would be the only ones that can understand. Maybe it'll spark a good debate as well. I just had an "oh ****" moment. A dubious problem no doubt as it's between two really nice IEM's but here's the deal... After trying armature driver IEM's by...

Got some off Ebay. I like them. Good deal. Nice midrange, good highs, respectable lows. Nice and small. Thing is they have some issues. The guy I bought them from was totally slack. Took him almost 2 weeks to ship to me and when they arrived the cabinets were loose and rattled when low notes...

coming out of China OEM style I'm sure. Being sold on ebay by a company called OSP that sells a lot of decent quality but cheap pro audio gear: Check it out. Dynamic driver. Looks very much like the Shure E2. Who wants to be the Guinea Pig?

Out of curosity. So far it's the Atrios for me, but I've not heard any customs yet.

I've just decided to pull the trigger on a set of Livewires Custom in ear monitors for both portable iPod listening and for use on stage as an in ear monitor. I plan to document my experience here for all to see with updates to this thread and pictures (hopefully). There's not been very many...

Browsing around the web I've happened upon the E.A.R. Inc website a few times. Strange to me that they offer 4 or 5 types of IEM's and yet nobody has any here. Or anywhere else that I've come across yet. http://www.earinc.com/ So I was checking out their "Musicians Monitors" and I wound...

Livewires: Better high end detail Less warmth and more clinical textures cause they employ armatures vs. dynamic drivers. Solid bass but not quite the chest thump you get from the Atrio's Build seriously well for the stage which is my primary use. Replaceable cables and such. Custom...

I use UM2's on stage and I need a shirt clip. Where can I buy one? The only people I see selling them are Etymotics. How strange! Sould those work on mine? I assume they would cause all it does is hold a cable but I want to be sure.

This may have been asked before. Sorry if so. What IEM would you guys say is the closest to a set of Etymotic ER-4's but with nice deep bass like the Atrios, UM-2's or E-500's? That would be my holy grail.

http://www.earinc.com/index.php They sell some really interesting sophisticated ear plugs. They also sell 2 or 3 kinds of IEM's that look exaclty like the new Livewires I'm very interested in. I'm guessing this is the same company? They sell a triple driver model too!

Got an old set of Future Sonics EM3's that I've had for about 5 years and the wires have gotten really stiff and hard to manage from reacting with my sweet. I use them to perform live as a guitarists and I'm surprised they're still around. Well now my new band is going all IEM's and I'm gonna...

Somebody here turned me on to Livewires the other day and I'm really interested in getting a set. I read two reviews that both sounded promising and now I've got the G.A.S. Has anybody else heard them? Anybody else got a set yet? How do they sound vs. the Westone UM2's? must not...

Not happy with my IEM's. Need advice from the sages. I really like IEM's. I mean the concept that is. I play music professionally and have for 10 years or so now and I bought an IEM system 6 years ago cause it's the thing to do. Really it is. Especially for your hearing. But here's the...

iLounge.com just posted this deal on their front page. "Earphone Solutions is offering a free pair of AKG K27i headphones ($70 value) with the purchase of the UM2 earphones. Add both to your cart and enter the coupon code FREEK27ILOUNGEUM2." And I JUST got my UM-2's a week or two back...

*Delete Please* Removed by author because the thread had immediatly taken a turn for the worse. Will attempt to re-author at some point and clearify. Don't want to start a scene. Should have been more clear. Sorry Head-fi.

These things look like the coolset thing ever for us musicians!! IEM's with tiny mics on the ear peices so you can hear the stage. I'm drooling on my keyboard over here! http://www.sensaphonics.com/news_3d.html Doubt I'll be able to afford them when they hit the street but here's...

I know its a hard thing to quantify, but for those of you who've heard the UM-2 or the E-5 and have also heard a nice custom milded IEM (or more than one).....How much better are they? Is it exponential? Would you say its night and day? Perhaps I should be more specific...... Is the...
