Why do some of those artist wear regular IEMs instead of customs?

They are way overpriced just like all custom products but I say they are worth it.

I think I will have them remove the wax filters, the highs seem to be kind of muted...not much but I can certainly notice. They said they can clean them for me anytime for free anyway. I also found out that when I put them in with my mouth open, they provide better isolation.

February, I think. FS mod is nice but if your ear canals are at 90° angle, they will still be sticking out quite a lot.

For that price, definitely the Super.fi 3(they don't come with the metallic case). However, many people seem to have a comfort issue with them while UM1 seems to fit anyone. UM1 is also smaller so it doesn't stick out of your ears like the Super.fi's.

Quote: Originally Posted by Bigburger Super.fi 3's?? Sorry if its a noob question but I can't see the super.fi's there. Is it just the armature of the super.fi's in there or what? (Sorry I have no idea about customs). Yes, you are absoutely right.

So, as I promised, here they are. They are so damn comfortable...amazing. They actually isolate better than any foam, especially low frequency sounds which is great for commuting. I also noticed that soundstage is quite a bit better. Bass is more pronounced, didn't have enough time to actually...

I detached the cables like 5 times so far. And it's good as new, no problem.

Thanks for all the replies, my custom mold is almost finished(I went for Super.fi3 mold instead for obvious reasons). I tested it today, I can't literally feel them in my ears, feels real good. I have a feeling they made the hole too small but there is absolutely no problem fixing that later or...

Either Super.fi 3(which sounds even better than Shure E3c imo) or Westone UM-1. But Super.fi 3 might not be comfortable for you, depends on whether you have smaller ears or not.
