Quote: I use my Arrow 2G at work for 5-6hrs daily and it can last up to 2weeks. Assuming a 5-day work week and i don't use them at all on the weekends, that's up to 50hrs battery life. This is just a rough calculation of course.

Quote: Interesting, the V2s were not as comfy to my ears as the V1. But the benefit of removable cables and upgrade cables is tempting. Wonder if I should consider it....  

Quote: OK, so I was wrong...

Quote: I could be wrong but it looks an awful lot like the UE Super.fi 5EB...in white?

Quote: Huh? Is the first statement meant to be sarcastic? Cuz it doesn't seem to tally with the second statement.   

Quote: LOL

Quote: Thats what I thought...

Quote: Isnt that technically just the Buffalo II's ES9018? Since the DX100's DAC is bypassed?

Quote: Really? Just goes to show you how different everyone's ears are. I didn't the W4's highs as being in-your-face at all. IT was good, yes. But not in-your-face. And overall the W4 struck my ears as rather boring albeit quite accurate / neutral.   I think those filters (or...

Quote:   I could be wrong but i remember someone saying they bought some spare filters off ebay. They maybe generic ones and not necessarily the same ones used by Earsonics (that is assuming they didn't use generic ones to begin with) though. Possibly similar to Ety filters I'm thinking...

Quote: Yeah I considered reshelling my favourite uIEM but was worried if it would change the sound in any way. Also toyed with the idea of reshelling and adding a driver (or 2 or 3). But there's so many variables to consider, its kinda nerve-wracking. Dunno if i'd take that risk over just...

Quote:   Crikey, I think that may mean the filter is destroyed now?     

Quote: Uhhh.....

Quote: This is exactly the kind of stuff which scares me about taking the plunge with customs. Being that I'm so far away from the most custom's manufacturers just makes the whole process take even longer. And I'm kinda impatient! LOL.  

Quote: If anything, the SM3 need mental burn-in and that varies from person to person. Certainly not mechanical burn-in tho.   Quote: Wow that is a great tip! Thanks dfkt!  

Quote: I have the digizoid and personally I don't the SM3 needs it nor will it benefit from it. I only use the digizoid Zo for the CK10 as it does benefit quite a bit from it.

Quote: Had the same expereince as you when i first got the Sm3s as well but it took me slightly less than 2 months to finally get used to and subsequently enamored with the Sm3's sound. Still, there are times when i want more top end sparkle (although honestly to my ears its top end is...

Quote: Good for you!

Quote: Good grief....I'm lost now. I'll just get an iBud and stay the heck away from this thread. LOL  

Quote: LOL, well in my case eyes are now confirming what my ears heard before.  

Quote: Now that certainly would be nice. A change from all the usual suspects.  

Quote: Great! More choices! Arrgggh....lol  

Quote: Aero, would you say the EM6 has all the plus point of the EM4 (and perhaps even betters them) as well as some plus points of it own?  

Quote: Perhaps a EM4 vs EM6 comparo needs to be done, joe? Hint hint! :p    

Quote: Interesting, that ties in with why I found the Sm3 (see, I'm trying to stay on topic! :p) to sound crappy out of my Sony Walkman but quite the opposite from the clip + and iMod. Good stuff to know.
