I lost one side of my ES5 a few years back, and since then I have bought numerous other TOTL customs and universals, including the K10, Layla, Legend X and Tia Fourte, but none of them seems to be able to give me the smooth and lush mids and good bass - the almost LCD-2 like sound signature, if you know what I mean. Is there any TOTL IEM that can give me back the ES5 sound signature? To my knowledge the ES5 has stopped production and from the review of current Westone offers, they don't seem to be of similar sound to the ES5 anymore (although they may be "better" in other aspects).
Oh, one other thing I really appreciate with the ES5 is that it uses some kind of soft tip even though it is custom. That gave me better seal and sound isolation than any universal eartips or pure acrylic customs, ever.
