i'm getting my impressions done for 50 US dollars. So the general consensus then is to use a bite block??? I didn't quite pick up the answer to the question, sorry if i'm too brain dead right now to have missed that. Bite block or not?

So you reiterate my point then when you said "What professionals who make bazillions of dollars.." by affirming that if money is no object then custom IEM perform better. Not to knock you but your UE 5 customs aren't exactly HIGH END customs since they are the same platform as the SuperFi5Pro's...

customs are definitely the way to go as far as sound quality, comfort, and isolation. a HIGH END custom is almost guaranteed to outperform a universal. if they weren't then you'd see professionals with Universal IEM's on stage right? a buddy of mine has a set of UE7 customs and he says its...

I have an appt. to get impressions on Tuesday for my LiveWires. On the LiveWires order form it says "Please ask the hearing professional to take the impressions to at least the second bend in your ear canal. The impressions should be taken with your mouth opening and closing several times...

the old SATAI (1.5gbps) 10,000rpm raptor drives are not faster than todays 7200rpm SATA II (3.0gbps) drives. the raprtors not worth keeping really unless you need more storage. Especially with the amount of noise and heat they put off. I went through this dilemma when putting storage in my...

even an entry level set of customs like the livewires is in another league of its own compared to universals?

any comparison of these audeo's to UE superfi5pros or an entry level custom like livewires? i'm split as to these, superfi5pro's or an entry level custom, namely the livewires.

here's my dilemma. I have roughly $250 give or take to get another pair of IEM to replace my broken SuperFi5Pro's. I'm not sure if i should take the plunge and get another set of 5Pros, which i can get for $150 through my employer or if i should take this time to "upgrade" to an entry level...

i've been wearing this monstrosity lately. gets tons of looks due to it's color and size. loving it though!
