E4c vs. UM2 vs. Super.fi 5

[shoook]

Hey guys I'm a total beginner and very sorry if this post is monotonous, but I need help. Alright I've done some research but I'm having a hard time choosing which in-ear headphone to buy for use with my iPod, all three look like they're great headphones in similar price-range. I would be very grateful if you would simply post the one you own/would buy and one reason it's the best, OR if there is a similar pair of headphones that should be included in this face-off that I should be considering please let me know, thanks for your help.

I'm about to buy the UM2's, is this the right choice?

 

[elephantman]

um2 is really good for rock music, sound is really warm and tone is rich. bass, midrange, treble, all there, i think its one of the best universal iem out there.

Bought the UM2's, please tell me I won't regret this.

Wow, that only took you 43 minutes to decide!

I'm in the same boat - just waiting for my UM2's to come off backorder at earphonesolutions.com.

Eh... you won't regret it. While I admittedly haven't heard any of your other choices, I have heard the E3c and ER4ps and I personally think neither of those headphones have got anything on the lovely (yes I say lovely because I have no other way of describing it) sound when it comes to... well I use it a lot for classical and it sounds great.

Oh, no, you just missed the half-off sale!

Just kidding (heh-heh). You actually got a better deal than I did. The UM2 can sound really outstanding, even glorious, so I think it's money well spent. Visit my UM2 guide for tips on how to customize the sound to your liking.

I think you'll love the UM2's just yesturday I found a new layer of treble by twisting the downwards and then shoving em deeper. The bass is much depper now

and the trble is more rich. I was gonna get custom tips but I'll pas until my next set of IEMs.

Great blog Spinali, I will definitely be using your tips once mine get in

Excellent choice, just be patient and don't lose heart as there *is* a period of adjustment. Took me a week to get them seated properly but it was well worth the effort. Excellent bass (iPod friendly) with a full musical sound, no regrets at all on my end. Of course you've just involved yourself with Head-Fi so.......

Sorry to be such a noob, but I was wondering what IEM stands for, I'm guessing In Ear M____?

hi shook,

glad to see you went with the UM2's. They would have been my choice as well if money was not an issue
