Exceptional in Every Detail: Say Hello to the IE 600

[duas2noites]

Does someone here tried sennheiser ie 600 with topping dx1? I'll use it with my computer, music and games, need some feedback about it, if I need another dac/amp combo.

I noticed there’s dirt on my ie600 vent will it affect iem’s sound?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a better iem in terms of technical performance than the ie600 at close prices?

You could check out the the 64 Audio U4s. However it is $300 more than the IE600. I don’t know if this IEM is better than the IE600, I’m still looking to see if anyone has heard both and could provide a comparison. I was considering buying the IE600 last month when 64 Audio released their U4s and I decided to purchase the U4s. Very happy with my decision. The U4s does use a two-pin connection so finding after market cables is much easier. Good luck with your search!

Maybe the S8?

unfortunately i don't have giant ears I loved the ie600 for its small size. the resolution was also great imo. but I had to return it because it was broken. now i am looking for an alternative.

I'm very interested in ordering those customs tips. The website says it can be ordered at sennheiser-hearing niw, but I don't see it anywhere?

I would also suggest putting a gasket on the nozzle and then fitting stock tips on the first position. Works really well for me and I think the stock tips sound the best.

Is this just so it doesn’t go as deep in your ear?

So the eartip sits further in to your ear, I've found that if the stock tips are fully seated on the 2nd position, the iem tends to work it's way out of my ear.

I agree with KeaneShadow. If you have a chance to try out 64 Audio at your local store, please give U4s a listen. I recently auditioned it and the sound is very attractive and engaging. However, you will lose the detail retrieval offered by IE 600 especially if you are looking for a bright tuning with good sub bass. Sound stage also isn't good as IE 600. It does depend on your listening genre. The U4s's bass is really in your face (tested with M15 module) but the highs aren't bright or should I say 'safer'. It is more of a L shaped tuning (neutral with boosted bass) but still not lacking treble. If you thought the IE 600 was sibilant even though it isn't, then you should give U4s a try. It will be comparatively darker but let your brain transition (meaning give it time). The U4s will be featured with M12 module, so make sure you try it because the M15/20 makes bass right in your face. If you're a basshead, you'll love it. Otherwise I reckon the M12 would be better. The MX makes the entire sound signature very balanced (neutral with no boost in the sub bass). All 4 modules are included in the pack so you'll definitely find something suitable. All the best!

I’ll have to try that.

There is no timeline. My understanding is that worldwide release will depend on the outcome of this pilot program in Germany.
