no question, just listing my setup as suggested by NA Blur for possible upgrade suggestions. 

i have a portable setup.. an ibasso r10 source, i dont have a seperate dac unit, have the jds labs c421 (cant remember which version of op amp) and i also have the rsa protector. been mostly using the protector tho, my c421 been on a shelf. my music is mostly steely dan, van morrison, dave...

i use the medium tips that came with them. they actually fit perfectly in my ear. they were a little uncomfortable at first but got used to them after a few days. 

i just listened to dark horse and partiton and both sounded really good. the low end drops pretty low and there is a "rumble" but its how its supposed to sound. just the sub bass doing what good sub bass does.  if it sounds like a noisy rumble or distorted in any way u may need to try for a...

thanks so much NA Blur, that info answered a lot of my questions. seems like the whole "balanced" thing may not be the best way for me to spend my money... might just put it towards a new pair of customs 

thefragileone mine look the same as youve described. i think youre good. only way to know for sure tho is to listen to them 

yes they do work better with an amp as do most earphones/headphones.. as for the recommendation it all depends on how much ur looking to spend.

The bass isn't quite as strong and impactful as on the gr07be but still has that dynamic punch to it.

i see.. i have an ibasso r10 with rsa protector amp, no dac. so if i have balanced amp only, will the signal still be balanced then or i need dac and balanced interconnects? does source need to have balanced output as well? im sorry just trying to reach that next level in sound but this whole...

hello, forgive me as im not too bright on these things but i just bought the rsa protector to use the balanced output with my um miracle ciem. i am now trying to understand if i should buy a balanced iem cable for the miracles, or if i can just buy the balanced to 3.5mm adapter this way i can...

if your worried about the 215's lacking in treble and are looking for good treble extension with good bass presence that isnt overwhelming i would highly recommend the yamaha eph 100's. they are right around the hundred dollar mark and to me are the best iem i own in that price range. i prefer...

 the eph100 is a really good all around earphone for the price. imho it is the best bang for the buck iem in that price range. i have heard  that some people have had issues with the right side cutting out but ive had mine for over a year now and never had any trouble. hope this helps

hello, i have owned the eph 100's for over a year and they get quite a bit of playtime and i have never had any issue with any right side sound loss or any other issue for that matter. build quality is actually quite good for a hundred dollar iem. 

i think the vsonic gr07's will give you what your looking for (enhanced bass edition). however  the sennhiesr ie8/80 is also a good option and bigger soundstage but more expensive than the gr07's.

hello there! first off i am very sorry if i didn't post this in the right place but im new to this so please be kind.   i am currently waiting on a pair of westone 4's to be delivered to pair with my colorfly c3 and a digizoid zo2.3. i am trying to find a nice balance between an analytical...
