That's why I think its really dependent on what IEM you test it with. Even on flat as you tested the players, the sony sounded better with my hybrid CIEMs. On the plenue D, bass-impact and sub-bass rumble was almost non-existant without EQ tweaking, and with tweaking alot of the detail is...

Just got the A35 in the mail on monday. had the A15 before this and was thoroughly disappointed especially when compared to the cowon plenue D. IMHO sony has hit a homerun with the A30 series especially at this price point.   For those who ask for comparisons between the cowon plenue D and the...

In all fairness, I think its a very subjective issue. I was previously using the jh16s but now I've given them up for the Ce6(enhanced bass). I actually do prefer the signature of CE over JH.

  Send Phil an email. It's hard for him to answer each and every post on this forum.

Having tried silicon, acrylic and vinyl, i have to say that ironically even though everyone says silicon provides the best fit and isolation, it turned out to be my worst experience of the lot. Acrylic provided the best isolation and comfort, with vinyl coming in a close second. Overall I think...

Review For those who are wondering how the CE6E sounds, I'm going to quote the review done by headfonia. Most of the review is spot-on, but I believe there are certain improvements since that time because Phil has been tweaking the CE6 continuously       If you've seen my email...

Yes, they just got in today. First impressions and the difference from the CE4 is the extensions at both ends are much better.

The CE6E is AMAZING.

I believe it is. I hope this becomes the new industrial standard in the long run. It's the first connector I've not had any issues with.

this tends to be the issue for the westone/ue two prong connector, which is why Phil made the decision to move to the new connector which is a lot more secure. I got the BA1 at the same time as CE4, use the CE4 a lot more frequently, but the BA1 seems to have gotten looser despite the lack of...

It's a 6, or more specifically, 6E with enhanced bass :P

Ahem. After being on a posting hiatus for a while because of my studies, I've just received word that Santa's dropping by very very very very soon :D Just had to pop by to share this with all you guys No prizes for guessing what model this is. A work of art as usual Phil, a work of art. This...

Can we have close ups of your new faceplates please? I'm really really really digging those :P

The BA4 definitely is picky. Have you tried the rockbox port though? I find that fooling around with EQ fixes the coldness of the player.

Has anyone else seen the latest leaf skeletons on CE's facebook page? They're amazing!! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

  I could not agree more with the bolded statement. CE is the only hardshelled custom that I've not had to send back for a refit

  o.0 those are absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

Ah perhaps. I'm not acquainted with the pro210. But for sure the BA4 are more natural.

  A point to consider is the ER4, which is a PITA to use because it is quite literally a pain(think ear rape), but it has remained the industrial standard for detail. 1 driver. Music is more than detail though, otherwise I would have considered reshelling the ER4. Borrowed it from a friend and...

  No, all I'm saying is that sound is so subjective that you may not find 8/10/12 drivers as good as say a 3/4/6 driver IEM. For me, I've gone full circle on the drivers race, going from 2-3-6-8, and I've finally settled on a company that I feel takes pride in it's work and provides an...

  I think at one point or another we're all guilty of buying into the hype. I used to think that my Jh16 was the end-all for me, and nothing less than 8 drivers per ear would suffice, but after getting the BA4 I have not used the 16s since.

  Is this going to be where I think its going to be? :D

i'm curious, can those reporting accurate and inaccurate readings list the batteries that they are using? I remember when I was using the stock pisen battery my readings were pretty inaccurate, but after switching to the anker one, it started getting more accurate.

+1 to this,   my battery readings are generally pretty accurate..

  Probably the only thing I dislike about the dual boot menu is that right after clicking RB, i get a LOUD click in my IEMs. It happens on start up with stock as well so its not a rockbox problem.
