I see! Thanks for the information. Actually you're absoluely right my fellow head-fier. Why do i want to perform a surgery on my um3x o.0 I can just go for something else! Thanks :)

I see!! Thanks a lot for all the input! Actually I think its kind of daft to compare merely technical aspect of an iem and decide. Afterall, your ear is the best judge. For matters such as these! Um3x it is. Thankyou:) Ps I heard from a friend of mine that its possible to 'enhance' thr bass of...

Cheers Peter! Thanks foir your reply! Indeed. My audition with this lil' monster was epic really. Guess I was simply daunted by the specific few who found the bass of the um3x 'shy'. Anyways, I probably would not use an amp on the road. I'm wondering if my iphone 3gs or itouch 3rd gen will be...

Actually I'm deciding between the sm3 and um3x like many. For sm3 I like how the bass is similar to my sisters ie8m but the clarity of the um3x is definitely 'my kind of sound'. For a 20 minute auditioin the bass of um3x seems fine. But after reading loads of review on how the um3x is bass shy...

Thanks kckc. perhaps that is where i'll get my um3x. But i dont think i'll stop there. Are there more choices?

Dear head-fiers.   I do realize that this might not be the best place for this post to be but i can't seem to find a better place than here(since everyone talks about their iem here). I'm actually looking for some suggestions for online headphone stores.   I clearly recall one that has a...

Ok, i cmae up with this genius(or not, haha) idea of wrapping tissues around the connector for more grip and yep, off it came! Thanks for the input! :) But guys how do i identify if it's a fake or not? Besides visual inspection.

Quote: Well there are two reasons why i'm removing it: 1) I know ie8 has removable wires and not having tried it before keeps nibbing at me x) and 2) My friend was showing me his 535 with a aftermarket wire. Can't recall the name but it cost around 60odds USD. I was planning to  buy one...

Happy new year head-fi! I recently received a pair of Sennheiser IE8 from my cousin that went to the states (Some 3 weeks ago). All was well with the sound and build quality until recently when i attempted to remove the wire from the driver it simply won't buldge. I then found out from my...

Dear all,   After joining the forum(awesome one!), i realized the listening quality of music isn't based solely on equipment but the files(mp3) itself too. It is to my knowledge that downloading files off the web might not gurantee the highest quality, even if they are the 'biggest' file...

Thank you all for the reply! appreciate all :) I guess i got tricked into believing a Honda could be as good as a Ferrari/Lambo eh? Was thinking that perhaps the S4 would be a GTR..prolly not.   Anyways, I'm thinking of upgrading because the 'everything-mixed-togetherness' or perhaps what i...

Hi fellows!   I am *finally* upgrading from my Sennheiser cx300ii. Now i know they are a pair of fairly cheap ear-buds, but it is probably my best choice ever made since i've decided to upgrade from my ibud. That said, i've said up enough to further upgrade my ear-buds. I'm currently looking...
