Quote: No doubt, the SM64's are great headphones with superb sound. My impressions on them not being so great un-amped were probably affected by the fact that I was comparing them side by side with the SM3's at the time, which are also amazing and, imo, better than the 64's when both are...

Quote: Thanks for the explanation ^^.

Quote: For me, it depended on how I fit the amp into the setup. When the iPod was attached to the amp via the iPod's top circular outlet, there was no noticeable change in sound for me. Only when I used the cable that attaches the iPod to the amp at the bottom rectangular outlet of the iPod...

Okay quick update. I received the free GoVibe Martini amp in the mail yesterday and my friend and I have been trying the 64's with them. My source is a 6th gen iPod Classic. The SM64's sound very muted when it's unamped compared to when it's amped. Everything comes alive all of a sudden. The...

I have v2. Also, I'm going to be receiving a free GoVibe amp from soundearphones shortly via a promotional offer. I'm looking forward to seeing how the SM64 will stack up against the SM3 when an amp is brought into the fray. Hopefully the SM64's true capability will be brought out. I hear that...

Okay I have both the SM3 and 64 side by side. I'm just gonna put it out there that, un-amped, I prefer my SM3 over the 64's. Haven't tried either with an amp yet. The bass and treble are more prominent on the 64 than the 3 -- the treble actually sparkles -- but I do miss the milky vocals of the...

Thanks Tom, your English is good. I wouldn't have been able to tell you weren't a native speaker if you didn't mention it. And a blend between EM4 and EM6 is just what we should expect! :] I wish soundearphones would have them in stock sooner.. 

SM3's are stellar. I'm getting the SM64's out of curiosity because it supposedly is a product made from the best of the EM4 and EM6, and those reviews say the SM3 is lifeless in comparison. If they turn out not as good as the SM3's, well I can get my money back, minus $10 for one-day shipping...

It's $527 on earsonics.com after the conversion.

Quote: Indeed. Although they don't have a 5 so maybe no 65.  I shipped my W3's to SE two days ago and am currently waiting for the 64's to be in stock on SE. Unfortunately Adam doesn't know when exactly the 64's are going to arrive in Ohio from France, but it may be early next year. I'll...

Quote: I guess I do belong then.  Also, I realized why they're called the SM64's. On the description of the 64's, Earsonics says they worked hard to one-up their EM6 and EM4. Yikes! I wonder why they chose to make something with supposedly better sound than their customs a universal...

Welp, once I return my W3's and get $340 back, I'll order a pair of 64's. It'll almost be as if the 64's cost $160 (but not really).

Thanks for the info. How is HIDEF Lifestyle with warranty on their earphones? If I needed a replacement due to problems with the SM3's, could I send them back to HIDEF for a replacement or would I need to send them to France? With SoundEarphones, I can always send back to SoundEarphones in Ohio...

Alright, so I was emailing Adam Nieses from soundearphones about 30-day moneyback returns saying that I'd likely return my W3's and get SM3's. Here is his response: "Hello,   You will receive a full refund minus $10 for the cost of Overnight shipping that we incurred when you placed the...
