I would suggest IE8s since they sound different from most other IEMs out today.

You merely cited them and then provided some unsophisticated examples of your own that simply didn't hold up under scrutiny. |

I'd be interested to see the methodology explained, the data gathered and the conclusions that you draw from it, as I'm sure many other Head-Fiers would. In the meantime, I suggest that you refrain from attempting to assume an air of intellectual superiority based on unsubstantiated assertions, flawed argument and dodgy examples that don't even warrant the description of pseudo-science. |

I believe you'll find most intelligent people will say that having read head-fi, they were in a better position to buy a better IEM for themselves. I'm not sure what you are referring to here. I presume it is in response to my invitation for you to provide some supporting evidence for your line of argument. And your response is to issue me with one in return? I think that pretty much sums up the level of this debate. As I have already said in a previous post, "I'm not the one who is trying to prosecute the argument that you can take an empirical approach to ascertaining the differences in sound signatures of earphones based on other people's posts in this forum; you are." Also, you are surmising here, which of course you are entitled to do but it is nothing more than that. |

The final decision was based on: Other peoples reviews of the products available in that price bracket. Availability of product (why is everything out of stock). Reputation of the retailer (after the problems returning my last set of phones). I don't have a musical preference and will listen to any well performed and recorded genre of music but if I did, it might swing towards Jazz.. Last night I managed an hour of listening with most of the time experimenting trying to get the best seal (strangely comply's worked best for me; I've never got on with them before). J J Cale "Anyway The Wind Blows" Gerry Mulligan "The Jazz Soundtracks" Plus I know an hour isn't enough time to formulate an opinion so I won't even try other than to say I'm impressed, an improvement over the Custom 3 I had and I felt them to be a great set of IEM's.. Minus Isolation didn't seem as good as the Custom 3's but this might improve as I get use to them.. I have to say UE's are big and has been mentioned before some will struggle to use them.. Once again thanks to all.. Rev |

They're not the most discreet looking IEMs going around, nor are they a fine example of ergonomic design, but these are trade-off's that I'm prepared to accept for the way they reproduce the music that I like to listen to.
