I know the 1964 ears v3, alclair reference, and JH5 seem to be well regarded around here (havent heard them personally). Do they even make livewires anymore?   Just wondering, why are you going customs from a 100$ IEM? I think it might be better to try different IEMs to make sure you know what...

  Not really. Got the SOUL300GG on super clearance at radioshack when the Vmoda M80s were also on sale. M80s>>>>>>>the souls. Souls sound okay but the M80s (~110 on ebay) has far more detail in every frequency, has a better presentation, and appears to have much better build quality as well. 

W4's treble is a bit laid back to me and has its focus on upper mids, which sound really good. Um3X has even less treble than the W4/is mid focused from what I've read, with really good instrument separation.    I personally like the Sony EX 1000, which has a upper mid/treble emphasis. In...

  Maybe just Radioshack clearing out their stock. They've been putting a lot of stuff on clearance in general, I believe for their new business model (with less inventory). V moda M80s were ~130-140$ on ebay before the radioshack sale.   The M80s have a 2 year warranty

  Oh actually I went to Orange on tues and it was reserved then. And lol I think a lot of people went to Short Hills, myself included.

  Hmmm, were you at the Orange store? I went to that store and they told me someone called to hold a set of M80s 30 mins ago hahaha. Store locator only works up to 10 miles, that's why. 10 off 40 code...

  You can get these shipped to a store near you? Did you just call a store, pay them, and then get them shipped to a local store? 

  I bought 2 today. It's def 40$

Radioshack selling M80s for 40$ for real! In store only. Definitely hard to find now, and you have to tell the employees to look in the back since the M80 isn't displayed in the store. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11938792

  Nope, I just picked up 2 today out of 4 radioshacks that said they had it in stock today. One RS even let me use a 10 off 40$ coupon (register a .edu account, though I used yahoo and it worked yest) so it was 32.07$ o_____O. BEST DEAL EVER. I did drive ~3 hours though to get em. Also, none...

Oh I just assumed bass since the S4 has decent bass and not much else. http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-295-iems-compared-vsonic-vc1000-added-09-03-13-p-760 Thread with reviews of 295 IEMs. S4 is rated a 6.7 while the GR06 is a 8.1. @ 99$, the Hifiman RE 400 is rated a 8.9...

Vsonic GR06. Its better than the S4 by a good amount. Don't get an Ety if you liked the S4, they don't have much bass (though the Ety Kids might?). Seriously, out of the 10 or so IEMs I've owned, the S4 had the most bass and the Ety HF5s had the least.

Man, sounds like UM needs to hire more workers. I really want to know if this is a good IEM for me (from reviews).

Quote: Oh okay, thanks for the help!

Quote: I'm actually very curious about this too. I quite like the EX1000's soundstage and how natural it sounds. Would you have any recommendations for an upgrade? I prefer a slightly V shaped signature with slightly warm, punchy bass (bass quantity between EX1000 and TF10), slightly...
