wow, so many posts, thanks everyone! the klipsch s4 being bass light i read in a german review on hifi-forum.de but boomy bass is no good for me either i used to "use" the senn hd25-1, nice fast response in the low end and terrible fit. (my poor ears) the overall sound sig i liked...

ok, re0 is interrsting. Can someone post a link to a good deal for them?

...so i need the detailled treble (NO sibilance plz.), clear mids and tight (somewhat deeper) bass. isolation and comfy fit is apreciated. *sigh* and all that for under 200 usd. was considering the klipsch s4 ($59 bargain at the moment) but read about "weak" bass. maybe the good...

senn hd25-1

watch the clamping with the k81djs! i tried em and my ears started to hurt after a short while... good luck with your choice

had the same problem myself. once returned it as rma (a bit difficult since i live in germany and it was bought in the states ). well they fixed it. a few months later it happend again. been asking around where to get it soldered but i hear that it needs "cold soldering" since the parts...

iwould be surprised if someone considers the u3 to even be in a similar level of clearity and liveliness with the a818... maybe it's because of the phones in use? i use the hd25-1 (recabled) and for me the soundquality is much "better" in the a818.

i have both players. i feel the a818 has notiably more clearity + detail. the battery life of the 818 is much better. more storage space! for the u3: love the huge amount of info i get with one glance at the display. the music files are much easier to organize and it has an "on-the-fly" play...

i also considered the px100, but the missing isolation kept me from getting them. then i got used hd25-1 as a gift . i love their isolation and soundquality! had two issues with em: the clamping (i put on the velvet pads + stretch em out over my computer case when not in use, the head band...

****, just bought the nwz a818 yesterday. i was looking at the e100, though i would have to wait months for it....

ok, so no bother thinking about the su.fi 5. shigzeos description i found difficult to follow...

how detailed is the high end (for classical + ambient music...)?

i am thinking about getting the q-jays. reading about your strange cables makes me hesitat! i feel when i pay $180 for an iem i can expect cables that are comfortable and sweat resistent! i wonder if you just had bad luck with your pair... i hope you can get a replacement from jays.

interessting, merci shigzeo! i also like my bass tight and well defined. i still don't understand which iem you are suggesting for me. i am thinking about getting the sony 618, any suggestions as to which iem would be most compatible with it?

good morning everyone. i've been lurking and gobbleling up info here for more then a year now, looking for "my" iem. i want decent isolation (public transportation), comfort, wide soundstage, and clearity all across the spectrum with enough punch in the bass department to enjoy trance and...

for me the bigger the tip the better isolation (and bass) i get... no idea which of the two has better isolation.

aloha, i just came across the future sonics m8. do the the future sonics m5 + m8 sound similar? what are the main differences? m8 just being a lil better? thanks.

after reading this thread i long to get these beauties for a decent priece. where/how is that possible in germany? i sent roaddog an email, no response. does the ETYMOTIC RESEARCH Zippered Pouch pad + protect the iems against crushing? or is it "just" thin plastic?

a question on the side: why are you requiering a replacable battery when you consider your future dap to be "a throw away device ... worthless ... within 2 years"??? Quote: Originally Posted by Abouna Good news, but the price is still too high. I'm sorry but $200 for what amounts...

i feel the oh so nice and customer-friendly jays have just "shoot them selfs in the leg" as we say here in germany. huge price difference for no reason whatshowever! i was looking forward to these babies for almost two month... too bad!

i love the sound of my hd25! but they still clamp my ears (with velour pads) to much after about an hour of listening. portability wise they are sturdy but big (compared to my canal phones ) happy listening! ps: to me the recable was worth it, more mellow now...
