comparing e40 to other iems, alpha and delta d2 sounds better imo
I'm sorry, im not as well versed in many IEM brands, what's that?

First post in this forum, and my first review about ATH-E40!
i just bought this ath e40 at local headphone store in indonesia (headfonia store jakarta) 2 days ago, this is the first earphone i bought in my life (i was using the freebies that come in my smartphone box). first newbie impression, its sounds really good, the bass is good and punchy, and the staging is just awesome, but from what i hear, i need more vocal, the bright side. My number 1 problem is the fitting, i cant get it on my ear properly before adjusting it manually evertime for like 5 minutes++, thats the annoying side. I've used the xtra small tips, small tips, but im sticking with SpinFit Medium size for 'better' vocal. And yeah the cable is too long for me (1,2meter is ideal).
My dap is s7 edge and ipod touch 5th gen, planning on buying budget dac/amp (fiio q1), ive tried to pair it with my e40, and it sounds even better!
Any tips for the eartips? maybe foam tips, or bi/tri flange tips? thanks head fi
It's neutral, with only veery slight hint of warmth. Comparing it with my Lumia and Vaio headphone out increased clarity, soundstage and headroom for demanding headphone (demoed an R70x, high gain pot on 3rd, was underpowered before) instantly felt. An Insta buy for me.Yep, i came to headfonia store directly and try various iem under 150$, e40 it is. And actually i bought the last e40 they had haha... They say, the stock is super limited, because they only order like 5-10 e40 each month, idk why.. For the tips, im planning to go there again and try those tips. budget limited, so there are no room for me to buy the wrong tips, hope they have sample to try...
out of topic, how do you describe your Fiio Q1? Im planning to pair it with my e40 and hope for better bright side and clarity.

Its ability to function as headphone amp only from its line out is useful too
The last time I went to Jakarta was on Sunday... And they are closed on weekend T_T even though I want to try a Radius...
I'm still unsuccessfull on finding a free music player that support both USB DAC and folder browsing.. Hiby player just closes, and now barely float using outdated Onkyo Player... ah well, i have M3 for daily driver, so not like I'm desperate.
About radius, I've also recommended one to a friend.. that or if he want to buy my IM50, if E-40 check enough of my boxes, I'd sell it. Hopefully i wont find fit problem, and GL finding tips that'd compliment it
