Sorry, I know it's a big thread but I really shouldn't try to answer your question with " I've never tried them but I read This and that"

Well... I gotta say... if your on the fence, reading thru this thread, trying to decide on whether to order custom's from Hearyourself... Don't hesitate! Do it now! So you too can be enjoying some amazing sound from these bad boys!
I am truly amazed at the detail and quality I am hearing.
Today I listened to:
S.M.V. (Clarke, Miller, Wooten)
Jill Scott
Raphael Saadiq
and currently U2 - No Line On The Horizon.
Amazing! Rediscovering my music collection!

You just made me more excited.. can't wait for mine!!

Has any1 tried watching movie with this custom IEM? Is it any good?

Depending on the distance from the image, I find listening to movies with headphones in general to have spacial issues. With my C-3's as well as other high end cans, the wider the soundstage, the better. but my brain sees an inage outside my head when the audio is inside my head for the most part.
The Monitor I have right here in front of me is a 22" HD monitor with RGB input for use as a computer monitor so I can use the DVD jukebox onscreen menues to listen and sort my CD's as well. So Basically, I have a widescreen HD screen 14 " from my face. It makes for a great experience with DVD's. I have it on a swing arm so I can move it about wherever I want.

I've used my C-3's to watch a movie with my Creative Zen Vision W. Connected straight to the source without an amp and for the most part it was good! I watched the Dark Knight and the dialogue was a bit soft and had to boost the volume but then had to pull back a little when the action sequences started. I guess an attenuator would have helped in this instance.
Overall not a bad experience!

After playing tag with the post office, I finally took delivery of my monitors this morning, along with the ear plugs and musicians plugs this morning. Pics will follow, the monitors are plain white C3's with the black cables.

First impressions:

All the left moulds feel loose, they don't quite seal as well as the right ones do.

The musicians plugs feel slightly loose in both ears, I'm not sure if that's just the nature of the softer material, but they don't seem to seal as well as I expect them to.

The soft earplugs don't seal properly on the left ear, I can feel it move (as I can with all the left ear plugs) when I move my jaw, this doesn't happen with the right ones other than the musicians plugs.

The sound from the monitors is quite glorious.

I'm thinking I should keep using them all for a few days and see if my ears bed in or get used to them before making any decision.

I think these are going to be stunning once the fitment issues are sorted. I've emailed Andre this information to see what he thinks.

More soon.

J.

I know that Andre recommends fitting the impressions back in your ears, checking the fit, and then visually compare them to the monitors to see of there are any obvious differences.Is there such a word as GLORIOUSER ??? After a few days of listening and fitting. that word will probably need to be added to your vocabulary

Oops...how careless of me to miss that logo...wow...the "black" is a bit on the "light" side, IMO...but hey, it's still nice...
