I wouldn't mind being moved up! :)

Thank you everyone for the kind feedback!   To me the character of the Ei.3 is its own personal touch it adds to the music. For example, you might be used to hearing a song a certain way on your IEMs, but the Ei.3 will change that by adding its own house sound. More details are in the second...

If nobody has any, it looks like your best best is to give Shure a call. On their website they have a section for replacement parts, although I don't know how much they would cost. If you are in contact with the seller, ask if they have the warranty card which should make it easier.

Take a look at the Sennheiser HD598s.

Custom Art Ei.3 Review Intro     This is a long review because I couldn't stop typing :) If you want the short version, scroll to the bottom!   Background      Before I give my impressions, I’m going to give a little bit of background about me and my experiences in the audiophile world. I’m...

Impressions are in the works! Meanwhile, here's a sneak peak photo - the shipping bag!   

Sorry for the late update - just finishing up finals week :P   I'll try to get my impressions / review up in the next 24 hours!

Hey everyone!   Just got my pair of Ei.3 from Custom Art!   I've never done a review but I'll give it a shot and post it soon!   ~Jay

I live in Ames, IA and agree to the terms of the tour!

Haha if only I had that kind of money to spend! Ah the student life . Thank you! Now the 4 week wait....

Perfect! Thank you so much for the quick response! I can't wait to get my first CIEM and the Linum BAX :D

  The Custom Art Pro 330 V2 (which is on Mass Drop atm! :D). Okay, great! I thought I read a post somewhere in here that said the music was more balanced, and it appeared that way from graphs too, but I think the BaX should be great!   How is the cable length on it? Is 50" a decent length for...

Hey!   I'm ordering a CIEM for the first time and I wear glasses and am considering getting this cable - but the only thing drawing me back is some people talking about the sonic changes.   How likely is it that I will notice them? And is this less evident in the Music version over the BaX...

Shure SE215 :)

I'd listen to this ^^^ guy :) I haven't tried as many headphones! But compared to most cans, the 6400s are pretty different (designed more for studio monitoring / mixing) so they're going to be accurate on an almost clinical level, so the biggest thing you might notice is the "lack" of bass...

Shure SE215! I've been recommending them a lot lately, mainly because they're a great starter into the world of detachable cable, over the ear wire IEMs. And they have great isolation and the bass you're after as well! You can get them on Amazon as well (with a 30 day return policy).

Take a look at the Samson Sr850s, a friend of mine has them, and they're very good!

I've been recommending everyone the SE215s :P If you want detachable besides just a few models close to the $100 range, you'll have to go $250+ I'm not sure how neutral they are, but they're designed for sound engineering/monitoring, so they should be relatively neutral... check them out!

Oops! Well thanks for correcting me! I was just choosing out of the options he gave me, I in fact looked up the 700s right after I read the original post :P

1. Most of these higher end headphones will have decent warmth! 2. As far as soundstage, if it fits your lifestyle, I'd go with open back. 3. IMHO comfort should be a factor because music is so different when the headphones just disappear :) I haven't tried all of them, but you won't go wrong...

The Bose and Sony are going to be more comfortable, and I'd probably say go with the Bose, unless you're after a really accurate/flat sound. If you are then I'd say go with the Sony's.

I think the 6400s would have a bigger soundstage and more clarity, while the M50x's would have a bit more bass while still being balanced overall!

Yup! In that case I'd definitely recommend the KNS 6400, they're as flat as a headphone can get at that price range (they're designed for critical audio mixing). The bass might not be enough for you, but since you said you don't like heavy, they'll be perfect I think. For me personally I found...

Over the ear: KNS6400/8400 and Samson SR950 and Sony MDR7506 IEMs: Shure SE215   That's all I have for now :)

I did the price conversion with US dollars and I think it's close to your budget, although it seems higher priced when purchased directly from Amazon UK for some reason? Maybe my math is wrong :P But take a look at this eBay link, the guy might accept 150 for it...
