Look at you rocking the X3. I'm more interested in how well the V6 does with the X3. Thoughts?

That's not helping my wallet you know I don't know about customization as by the time I add rush (impatient) and shipping (necessary evil) and possible tax (work of the devil) it stops being a "bargain" for the price and starts becoming what you'd pay for. I'm not doing the custom thing as it just hasn't worked out as well as I'd hoped and not going through it all again. I just wish I'd known about these earlier and could have saved a lot of time and trouble
I'm pretty much settled on the v3 right now. Quads would have too much bass for me, and the v6 sounds too analytical for my taste. At least from what I've read.
Any idea how long it's taken you Levanter from order to shipment incidentally?
On the subject of tips do you know which ones these take?
Cheers
PS that wood does look nice though
Gonna have my first customs soon , but waiting for promotions due to budget constrainwhat is the price last time out when there's a promotion ?
I think you don't have to worry about it being too analytical... It is analytical, and more so if you actually want to pay attention to it, but it is just as easy to get lost to the feel of the music and immerse yourself in it. It is just that good! Hope you'll reconsider the V6 since i'm pretty sure it'll be my end game IEM for now =)
Anyone with the V3's thinking of getting a 3rd party cable, definitely do it. Night & day compared to using the stock cable, which I kinda expected to an extent, but probably didn't expect the difference (better imaging/definition/clarity) to be as noticeable as it is.

Joe,
Most of the stuff I have on my iPod is just 320kbps AAC or ALAC (though mostly AAC). I have my higher level stuff on my computer since the iPod can't play my 24bit 96kHz+ stuff from HDtracks. To tell you the truth (and I know this is blasphemy), while I can tell the difference on my rig at home between the two, when I'm out and about I really can't tell the difference enough to worry about it.
These V6s were my 1st CIEMs and I couldn't be happier with them. Yeah I know there are better sets from the likes of JH Audio and such but for the price I paid for them (I got them on the Memorial Day sale), I think they are awesome. Make sure you get a good impression at the audiologist and be sure to use a one inch bite block (don't worry, it's in the instructions to the audiologist).
Well, I happen to have the HD650s on a Schiit stack as well and I purchased the V6s for myself. I wouldn't really want to compare the two since they are so different in how they deliver the sound to your ears but I can say that I am definitely happy with it. The V6 does about everything right and there isn't really anything I feel like I am missing when listening to them vs. my HD650s. They are a bit brighter and bass light straight out of my iPod classic, but when they are plugged into my Fiio E7K, I get a nice kick to the bass (I can actually feel them vibrating in my ears) and everything is as sharp as a tack. I love these things.
