Just got some e5's from idealsound last week. After a few days of fiddling with them and trying all the different tips..I really love them. I have had some ety 4p's for about 6 months..and though I love them, I wanted some more bass. So I decided to give the e5 a try. The bass is awesome and after using my xin super mini for the first day..I used them w/o the amp with my ipod and the difference was much better..believe it or not. My initial reaction was total dissapointment of the e5..like a moron, I even panicked and listed them for sale a few hours after I recieved them!! Thank God I gave it more time.. just like my ety's I kept getting the seal wrong. Once I got the right seal with the right tip..and dropped the amp..I am in love with the e5's. I figured I would sell my 4p's if I liked the e5's to offset the cost..but just like many have said here..they are totally different. I love them both and am glad I have both. I won't part with either. I owe a ton of grattitude to toaster22 for the review and advice..thanks!! I am stuck between the clear medium silicone tip and the triple flange modded..they both are equal to my liking. Just for the heck of it I have been burning them in for the past 24hrs. Some say you don't need to with canalphones..some say yes. We shall see.
So if you are a semi newbie like myself and buy these..be sure to give it plenty of time..it will be worth it. Also reading advice and reviews in the forum from lindrone helped tremendously..Thanks!!
