I have tried both, acrylic and silicone. I've also had ones made by UE as well in the past. None of my acrylic customs have ever matched isolation of customs from Spiral Ear. For me, the overall isolation is also better than Etys with triple flanges. I've found an excerpt from my previous...

Recently I got a chance to audition SE6 Edge universal. I was amazed how close it sounds to my custom SE6 Edge, which I'm very familiar with since about year and a half of ownership already, and I'm currently considering their universal as my daily alternative. Really impressed and it's exactly...

I'm not too sure about the rest of the world, but my friend got his SE6 EDGE about half a year ago or so, after auditioning a demo unit at 4-Ear http://www.4-ear.com/. Apparently they are Spiral Ear's distributor in Shanghai. He also mentioned some other place in Hong Kong, but I don't remember...

Very happy for you:). Mine should arrive next week most probably. What's your source? Probably too soon, but any paring recommendations for best synergy? I'm wondering if SE6 EDGE will make me change my current DAP's.

Just got notified today that my SE6 EDGE are in final stages of production:). So excited and cannot wait to listen to them! Anyone from here got a chance to audition these yet?

It's the best I've heard so far, yes. I haven't been using anything else besides SE6 and I've tried a few TOTL IEM's.

Do you mean SE5, by the thread title, or SE6? I do have SE6 currently and I'll be switching to SE6 EDGE in the near future. Haven't owned any SE5, though.

Seems like Spiral Ear have just launched their new flagship: SE6 EDGE Custom In-Ear Monitors. Available with preorders, discounts and a limited upgrade program from SE6 to SE6 EDGE. Quoting their website: 11999 PLN (0% VAT; export outside EU) ~ 3140 USD 14758,77 PLN (incl. 23% VAT...

This year I've enjoyed and have high regard for Elysium and ERLKöNIG from VE. Elysium even more so than Erlky for me, in fact- don't know if testing both in universal form got anything to do with it. My preferences are best matched with SE6, though, and I cannot get enough of these CIEMs :) .

Yep, your right monitor may not be fitting well, but I'd also check to see if it's not simply insertion-related first, as it seems to be the case IMO, when looking at the picture. Sometimes it may take a bit of practice to fit silicone CIEM's due to their initial friction against ear walls...

Here's the latest car analogy I stumbled upon recently, if anyone is into that: Somewhat similar topic and perspective on reviewers and 'influencers'. A lot of that is also taking place here, of course.

Cool and clever!

Wholeheartedly agree and it's my experience as well.

Cool! Could you post a photo what it looks like inside your ears when glowing? I wonder how long it will glow on average. How's the sound of 1-way pro?

Great to know and thanks for the tip. Have you had your cable re-terminated by some company or was it a DIY project? It's always good to know some other available options.
