headphone equivalents to UE custom earphones...??

[aye5882]

I am still very interested in buying the UE5c but this is a big investment for me considering I just graduated from college. And since these earphones are custom made, someone can't just pick them up and start listening to them. so for anyone who has these phones (or any of the custom UE's), which headphones would you consider them similar to in terms of sound quality, detail, etc... just to give us, the people who haven't experienced these beauties, a sample of the euphoria you're eperiencing.

At the level of a high quality headphones there are only small differences because each high end headphone has to be true to the sound. Again this is just my opinion. The UE-5 are all turned up in the bass. But generally they are a very high end headphone and aren't going to sound to much like any other lower end canal headphone.

BTw... UE-10 because the really don't need an amp to sound good, I use them the most. Like everyday. I don't use the car stereo to much. lol..
