I'm looking for a new IEM.......my Westone4 got damaged, so that's a pretty sad story. Was an old faithful for years.    So, what would you recommend as a replacement? Weston W40? Grado GR10e?    I'm not an expert so would value input from you experts ! Thanks. 

Hello folks,   Just wondering, if you were upgrading from a Westone4, what would you go for ? and why ?   I was toying with the idea of the Grado GR10, the Audeo Phonak 232 or the Shure 535, maybe not as an upgrade, but more for a different sound signature.   Thanks for your input !

Can someone advise which would be a better IEM, considering both are priced around the $400 price bracket ? (The Westone 4 is about fifty bucks more, but that's OK).   I am buying it as a present, for an audio nut, who loves listening to his 'full-range' (single driver) speakers, driven with...

BTW, my journey went like this:   Apple ibuds (I thought they were OK) Sennheiser sports buds (kept on falling off my ears while running !) Sennheiser CX-300 (I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread) Jay-Q-Jays dual-driver (a new beginning............I could hear so many...

So, what's your poison after the W4, for universals that is....... ? Thought this might be a fun post to end the week with............at least, the end of the week for the folks in the Asia Pacific region anyway :)   "Recent W4 convert"

Hello folks, Just received my W4 in the mail. (thanks for the quick delivery, earphonesolutions !). The sound is so much better than my Q-Jays, which has always sounds clear and crisp but left me wanting as it always sounds a bit "thin". The W4 has a richer, more complete sound that covers...

Just showed a couple of my colleagues who are keen musicians and audio nuts, earphonesolutions and they were like kids in a candy store ! Haha !   Not sure what they will end up getting but they were sure keen to try my W4 when it arrives (I might not get it back !)      

Just ordered the W4 from Flavio.....can't wait to get it in the mail from half way round the globe in the Southern Hemisphere ! Upgrading from the Jay Q Jays................hope the W4 will blow the Q Jays out of the water !  

Any suggestions as to where to get one in Australia ?

I thought it would be interesting to see how people's IEM journey went.......and for how long...........and whether you are cured of upgrade-itis ? Mine went like this.......   Nokia (came with the phone !)....too many years of bad sound ! iPhone (came with the phone too !).......I thought...

If you went out to buy an IEM today and the following three are available, which one would you buy ?   Grado GR10 Ortofon E-Q5 Final Audio Design Heaven S

Oops ! Typo indeed ! thanks to mark2410. I stand corrected.

Google Aktimate ! Might be worth a try.

Can't remember the name but it is made by Epos, will drop you a line when it comes to mind !

How to they compare to the Epos version ?

Will jump in when they are available in Australia. Nobody seems to keep them here yet...............

I forgot to state the reason for this question............I have three other friends who could not agree, and thought I should check with the experts here !

Just curious, if you were to rush out to buy an IEM now, what would you get and why ? (budget not withstanding !)

So, is the GR10 any better than the FA, as they are supposed to share the same driver ?

Anyone knows how they compare to the new E-Q5 or Final Audio Heaven S ?

Anyone knows if they are available in Australia ?

Pricey but looks beautiful !

Is the FAD any good ?

Some say that the E-Q5 is better than the E-Q7 ?

How do the Heaven S compare to the E-Q5 I wonder ?
