Hi guys, i have a question for you all, I have Shure e5c. I love em, and use them for work all the time (i am a monitor engineer, and now have to do IEM's). budget is a big thing at the moment. I would like to get the custom moulds for the Shure's and can do this via Alien Ears. Now, what i am asking is this, how do the Shure e5c's compare with the Alien Ears C3's? any help is appreciated. Next year i will be getting a pair of Jerry Harvey IEM's

I may be able to answer those questions soon, as my Feq Show are at Alien Ears right now getting some mismatched drivers fixed and being re-molded with new impressions.

My first ever customs, the ES3X!!

Build quality is very good, and the heat sensitive vinyl is very comfortable!

The wiring inside is kinda messy though...

MAN !! Those sure are clear. Don't frett. The wiring is always a mess. You only see it more because of how clear your's are. Can you imagine how hard it is to fit all of that gear inside those tiny little shells?

 

[kwang411]

The real thing is actually not that clear under normal light, it's because of the flash when I took the pics

It's just that most of the customs I've seen have the wiring on the inside, so you can't see it when you're wearing them. I'm not too big on the cosmetics, so it doesn't really bother me too much.

You could also make some artwork labels on a printer, to put on the faceplates and make them totaly custom.

Just got my Sensaphonics and I love them. Very similar sound to the IE8 except without the mid-bass hump. Otherwise, strong bass, very present mids and clear highs that aren't dry or sibilant. The comfort and noise isolation can't be matched by any other IEM on the planet.

they look exactly like mine...except mine are blue.

Hello everyone. I want to share another picture of my Unique Melody Mages, quad BA drivers custom IEMs, which I received yesterday

. The colour is 'Candy Blue' and no artwork. UM quite good in hiding the network circuit and wires. Sound? It is as clear, transperent as good as it's built quality

.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

That sounds pretty awesome. Do I need a special printer? What kind of paper would I need? Can you please give some more details? And wouldn't the artwork come off pretty easily? Thanks!

Clear adress labels on any ink jet will do. It would be best to cover the label with a clear coat of acrylic nail polish for durability.

You can also get decal paper. Decals like on Airfix, where you use a moist sponge and press on the back.

I had this idea once before, decal paper here is about £1 a sheet, but you'd get alot of artworks from that! I never got round to trying it out though!

 

[kwang411]

Yea, I was thinking about decal papers too, though I read somewhere that it works best with laser printers. If my inkjet would work, I will try it out and let you know!

I've got access to laser printers at school if you need a hand, but, i'm sure you could find one in a library, or someone in the US with a laser printer.
