It doesn't matter whether one finds EP-NI1000 better or not as they are discontinued. Need to cope with EP-NI1010 which aren't that good (but they're still more than decent). AZLA SednaEarfit Foamax seems like a good alternative to Comply although I haven't tried those.

No no no don't look at this... better to go to ASR and buy the latest, best measuring product that will self destruct in 2 months...

I will elaborate further. The EX800ST has two main issues: one can be fixed with EQ and for the other one you'll have to live with it. If you see some graphs around you'll notice this massive peak around 5.4kHz, this is not only very noticeable when you use a tone generator, but also when you...

I got the EX800ST and it’s definitely a pass if you don’t want to EQ. I thought it would be at least passable without it but it turns out it’s really really bad.

I stopped buying IEMs with resin(-like) shells for that reason. I want special and beautiful stuff. The Final E5000 with its simple design still looks gorgeous in comparison to most of the uninspired cookie cutter stuff that is produced today.

Yes, it has similar tonality. I wouldn't really say it's a complimentary set as they're not in the same league but it's a lot of fun. I still keep it in rotation even though I have stuff like M9 and Z1R which definitely outclass it. I recommend the Radius Deep Mount tips for it. Final E5000 is...

This is also the product of simple market segmentation. The bottom distribution in terms of price will tend to have safe inoffensive tunings, and the totls might lean on the wonkiness side because only enthusiasts wanting to have something special, different, tailored, younameit, are the ones...

Kilobuck isn't value, but $399 for this is? IER-Z1R is seriously a steal considering how crap the manufacturing of pretty much everything out there is.

Audiophile hearing lower mids and good treble for the first time.

6kHz vs 12kHz resonance team, pick your poison.

I bought those sleeves and hate them all. Particularly with the Z1R it ruins the fit for me. Embrace the "patina" :D Funny how my M7 is older than my M9, and the former still looks like new.

Nope, sorry. Still on my bucket list of things to do.

I know someone that has those filters after purchasing the Make4 and sadly the filters won't fit the M9.

It is very clear to me that the U12t is very busy above 15kHz and your impressions can be day and night depending of how far your hearing extends to.

Didn’t you know? Apple dongle is all you need™ :)
