  Your fellow countrymen @Aerosphere and @Virtu Fortuna have heard both but I doubt the latter is on this thread.

Oh ok, I'll ask them. There's a small Turkish headphone forum, there are many Earsonics fans there as well.

@flinkenick @obsidyen I will finish the review with some short comparisons and of course I'll talk about S-EM9 there, maybe very shortly but I will.

It's encouraging that all of the guys who've had experience with the top flagships seem to love the S-EM9.

I pretty much ignored them at first too.

Thanks, much appreciated...

Lol, I've had this meme on my mind for a while now concerning Head-Fi. Also because I'm watching Sopranos again and they use it all the time!

Hey Nic , seeing you own 

Empire Ears Zeus XIV
Rhapsodio Solar 
Perfect Seal Deca
Hidition NT6pro
Warbler Prelude
Lime Ears Aether
CustomArt 8.2 
Rhapsodio Galaxy / V2
EarSonics S-EM9

where would you put sem9 ? (also how do you find time between all these TOTL iems ? 

 )

happy these are universals , one less wallet pain for me 

(plus i am real short on money , but i wuld love to listen/own the ones i have in bold)

 

[flinkenick]

Well I rate the S-EM9 highly. It is technically superior than the average TOTL; in separation and resolution it performs exceptionally well, making it a highly detailed iem without resorting to a bright signature. This makes it sound both precise and musical. Sometimes I put it away for a while if I have to write about others, but I enjoy it very much every time I come back to it.

sounds like a great uiem , but well like i said my mind has tuned to ciems-only
 
which does not make my pain any less painful  

 
the only thing keeping me from getting more ciems is lack of funds 

 
 
oh well , i can start saving up for ciem no3 , once i have athena safely in my hands

  I auditioned a friend's S-EM9 today... What an absolutely amazing sounding IEM. Totally destroys Noble K10UA (which I had and sold) if you like fast paced music (EDM, pop, hiphop etc). Easy to drive with iPhone 6s. The price is hard to swallow though. I wonder if they'll do a discount for Black Friday. Also, if ES3 provides 90% of the experience of S-EM9, I might just go for that instead. Decisions...

 
My eyes are now on this EM9 - can you share a little how it compares to K10U? My ref is Andromeda and K10. I am really curious about this IEM. 

 

[Audiowood]

A short one sentence comparison on bass, mid, treble and soundstage with any TOTL IEM would be really beneficial. For example, someone mention the sub-bass is good.. my next question is how good is good. Is it as deep as Shure 846, with more power etc.. and I see people mention very good treble.. how good is it? Is it as bright as NT6 or K10U or Shure 846 or ANdromeda. I would really appreciate with reference. 
 
A tall person is only taller than the short person standing next to it - Pls give me another reference of another IEM. - Thank you.. thank u thank you.. 
 
Love French stuff.. my fav singer is Lara Fabian and I would like the idea of giving her voice a TOTL IEM made in France..

if you are using mmcx version , this cable best for s-em9 guys. Everyone must buy.. 
 
By the way I used to long period sem9 and  K10ua same time  6 month  , Sem9 much better than  Noble k10ua.  
 
 using sem-9 nearly 1 year , I can say , best universal totl iem in the world. They must little advertising .

3rd person i see here in last 2-3 days that says the same thing

[bakieryigit]

Sem9 better than Oriolus mkII also , I forgot to say.  tried last month , sem9 much better with correct cable.
 
also used to tralucent Ref1 Too with uber cable , again sem9 much much better ...

Couldn't agree more. Have been wondering how to describe the S-EM9 since I got it. This is exactly it.

Uh oh, that got my attention.
 
Although I'm wondering if the BA bass of the S-EM9 is able to match the lush and natural bloom of the DD Oriolus bass.
