Does anyone have recommendations for some different tips for the sm3v2?    The stock bi-flange work well, but They are just a TAD too small for my ears, and getting a good seal is rather difficult. I think the sound is great with the stock bi-flanges but I need something with a little bit of...

Just performed some of the mods on my newly received 400's. Removed the back of the driver and added a small piece of old pajama bottoms (thin cotton), and used some green painters tape on the top surface. Also did the Q tip mod!   All is well. Not a HUGE difference, but then again, I only...

Just ordered my pair yesterday, should be here tomorrow night. I plan on doing some mods. Could someone explain/link the Q tip mod to me? I can't seem to find it anywhere...   Also, is there anywhere I can buy some of the recommended pads in the U.S. for a decent price?   Thank you very...

Common sense tells me that they wouldn't fix a driver. That isn't really what they do, is it? They merely remove drivers from one shell and put it in another, pretty straightforward. I would send it back to the manufacturer.

The sm3 was my first step into the high end audio world, coming from the Hifiman RE-ZERO's which I love. As such, I really have nothing else to compare it to but I'll give it a go. For me, coming from the RE-ZERO, this IEM was like a Godsend lol. Bass was ridiculous (in a good way) and a huge...

Just got my sm3v2's and I love them. Does anyone know of any replacement cables that are better than stock and affordable?

Earsonics sm3v2

IE80 in my opinion, for bass.

I'm just surprised you went so long with something you didn't like. My vote is for some rezeros or re0s. Probably doesnt fit what yyou're looking for thougg

I think that's true to a point. I'm not one big into conspiracy theories and whatnot but in think there are definitely some employees or people on payroll that have some leverage around headfi. That's not necessarily bad though because there are still many people who are somewhat unbiased... Or...

Hmm...maybe some Hifiman RE-0's or RE-ZERO's? I could be entirely wrong here, but from what I've heard, these work great for classical music. I have the RE-ZERO, and I listen to a lot of progressive rock/metal which is about the closest to classic/orchestras as I get and they're amazing. I'm...

So, are you looking for over the ear headphones or are in ear monitors an option here?

Would have to agree with both of these users! Seems like the x10's are slightly v-shaped and have some good bass emphasis while being very small and comfortable from the threads I've seen. Pull the trigger!

Thanks for the help. Gonna try and snag a pair tomorrow. I've been drooling over the sm3's for awhile now, seems like exactly what I'm looking for.

The things we will do for sound quality...lol.

Already checked! Sold out. :(

Ahh okay, too pricey for me...I'll have to hunt down a used pair, thanks.

Where did you buys yours from? I can't find them anywhere x.x

Does anyone know where I can pick up a pair of these sm3's for a decent price? I've looked at earphonesolutions but they're out of stock...other websites either don't have them or seem a little too shady for me to purchase from. I found them on Amazon for $299 through a website called HIDEF...

Does anyone know if there are any deals for some Earsonics SM3's? I've been really trying to get a pair of these for a good deal for awhile now... EDIT: I noticed they're on Amazon for $299, but that's normal price. Sounds a little iffy to me or should I go for it?

Hey all, first time registerer and semi-long time lurker here. I've spent a lot of time on these boards the past couple weeks and I'm looking for a new pair of IEM's. I currently own a pair of the Hifiman RE-ZERO's (not the RE0!). I'm looking for a bit of an upgrade. I love the IEMs, but feel as...
