    Etys Triflange

    Can't believe that I manage to fit the etys triflange on my UE SF3. Gosh, I'm so amazed with the improved in SQ over them. I'm not a comply lover, and have been relying on silicon tips (small size). Pardon if I sound a little noobish, but the Etys RE4p were my latest acquisition, before that...

    Opinions on replacement for UE SF3

    Hi, my portable IEM- UE SF3 will require a replacement soon. It's been in use for over a year and a half, with ES2 cables. Although it is not one of the top tier IEMs I have, I use it when I commute and at work. It's performance and price suits my purpose, and I'd rather not want to worry about...

    IEM Optimization

    This journey in looking for the best sounding IEMs to my ears has resulted in a small stockpile of earphones. I rotate them on a frequent basis and mix and optimise individual offering by pairing of cables and eartips. Before continuing, do note it is strictly from my view point, and I...

    Harmon Kardon EP730 SQ similar as ER4P?

    I've been eyeing the Etys ER4P for the longest time, but never had the opportunity to audition them. This is rather unfortunate because at this point of time I have the Trips and IE8 boths having very different sonic qualities. So today I chanced upon the Harmon Kardon EP730. I've read that...

    Sony E or B140 Vs Clip+

    Hi folks, Like your advice on this issue. Before I got my mp3 player, I've been using my Nokia N81 handphone. But it drains my battery, so I got a Fuze recently. Somehow, I can't really find any love for it. The UI is unappealing and I was hoping to use Rockbox, but this is not possible...

    IEMs in Hong Kong

    Hi folks, I'll be heading to Hong Kong in a few day's time. Would like to seek recommendation on IEMs that can be found relatively cheaper there. Would like to keep the expenditure to about $200 (max $300). Thinking of getting a combination Klipsch image S2 (or S4) and W3. I like bass...

    Critical comparison between IE8 and UE SF5EB

    Hi, I have been using IE8 for some time now, and am curious about how the SF5 EB compares with the IE8. I did audition the EB, but the length of time was insifficient to guage it sonically, furthermore, I'm not even sure if it was a burned in set. The bass is definitely prominent, but I...

    Shure SE102

    Hi, I'd like your general opinions. Sent in my IE8 for servicing recently, and got both the PL30s and shure SE102. The Shure SE102 I got it at half price. I have given it some time, and I still can't seem to appreciate them. If feels as if the sound quality is lacking a component to make...

    Ipod Nano 4th Gen and LW Trips

    Hi, Never had this issue before. Was considering buying a Nano, so I tried LW Trips on my girlfriend's nano. Unamped and at flat EQ, it sounded alright. But when I set the EQ to bass boost, I heard buzz, and interference with the muted soundtrack playing in background (Russian Circles...

    Dynamic Driven IEM

    I am considering getting Shure's SCL2. I know that it has been around for some time, but I've not own any of Shure's products. I've read reviews on BA IEMs for Shure, and am pretty much sure that they are not my cup of tea. Since SCL2 is dynamically driven, I suppose the sound signature will be...

    Generic Ear Tip Mod

    Years ago I came across a set of silicon earplugs at a pharmacy. I was rather intrigued by it. I had no particular reason to buy it especially at SGD$10 a pack. Yesterday I chanced upon it again, and decided to use it to make a custom tip. The earplugs are pliable and can be molded. They have...

    IEM Recommendation for Rock

    Hi, need some advice on selecting next IEM. These are my choices: IE8, Atrios, UE EB, W3 and UM3x. I listen to rock mainly (metallical, Baroness), and derive great joy in being able to hear the harmonics, riffs and details. At the the moment I am using Livewire Trips (John Diles), and would not...

    What's your general opinion of UM?

    My opinion: I don't know about you guys, but I'm not particularly fond of Unique Melody. Coming from an engineering background, I understand the effort involved in designing and innovating, to create a new product. It's not good business for other IEM manufacturers, unless they can think of...

    Help deciding on IEM

    I'm having a hard time deciding which IEM to get. My budget is restricted to under $200, and I would like to get something different from the IEMs that I currently have. You'd probably find me familiar if you have come across my replies/questions on Etys. What I have currently is LW3 and...

    Single BA IEM Comparable to multi driver IEM

    From this article, Giz Explains: Why You Can't Get Decent Earphones for Less Than $100 - Earbuds - Gizmodo the writer states that after a price range of $100, the improvement in sound in relation to cost (which increases exponentially) is slight. Any recommendations for a single BA IEM? Of...

    IEMs Worth Keeping

    Hi all, Just like to know your thoughts on IEMs that are definitely worth keeping. Of course there are high end customs like JH13 pro amongst others, but I'm sure there's several special IEMs which you still use for their special qualities. Care to share your thoughts?

    Recommendations for Single BA IEM

    Hi all, I've been away from the forum for a while. The first IEM I had was a superfi 3, that was last year. A few months ago I received my Livewires 3. However after reading several posts, and reviews on Etys Er4 (p & s), Ifeel tempted to get them. I wonder if they would make my LW3...

    Advice on Mid- Higher range IEM

    Hi, Just joined the forum as a member. Came across this forum many years ago, and back then, if I'm not wrong Shure and Etys where the most popular choice, and portable amps were just introduced. I bought a pair of superfi3 a week ago. This is my foray into the world of IEMs. Was using...
