I am looking for an upgrade from my Pl30 and Sunrise SW-Xcape, my target first was CK-10 but then i saw the Victor FX700, hope you guys can help me which to choose.
- I have a J3 so I wonder which will suit more
- I listen to most kinds of music (excluding metal rock)
- I prefer clarity to bass
- I have small ear canal (or strange, I don't know) things like the hippo shroom may fit but hurt a lot.

What about the Re252? Why dont you give it a try?What are you looking for in your new IEM?

 

[RaonCRM]

The Re252 is not really available where I am staying.
I love clarity so I lean toward Ck-10 a little but I don't know if it gonna have a good fit or not (I bought hippo shroom once without trying and in the end I had to give it to my friend.)

Move. Then get the RE252.

The 252 probably won't fit for you.
 
Plus, Benny is going to go from "Everyone must buy the 252" to "Hey guys, I sold my 252s for some stock apple ibuds!" in two months.
 
The ck10 is small and should be much, much better in terms of fit.

I am studying in Japan and in a place far from Tokyo so I don't know any place around that carry the RE252 and I hate ordering from oversea so anybody know there are website in Japan that sell the RE252?
Edit:
Maybe I will pull the trigger on the CK10, thanks for help everyone.

 RE252 is imported, you will end up spending a fortune.
you are in japan and have so many option to choose from. CK10, Ortofon's new e-Q5...Final Audio, JVC FX700. Radius ....
You can get all this in japan for a good price.  Can you read in japanese?

 

[proedros]

252 is made in china , isn't this close enough ?
 
also 252 is a solid sleeper , ck10 is good i guess but the price rises
 
good luck anyway with whichever you decide to buy
 
 
and kudos to benny for the ''move''  quote , really funny lol

Yes I can, I know that there are many others good IEMs in Japan  but the real problem is the fit, I don't think my ear will fit the Ortofon, and the Final audio maybe as I think those are nearly the same size.  So the IEMs I think I might find suitable for my taste is Ck10 and Fx700, of which Kulun stated that the Ck10 is small and easy to fit. Hows does the fx700 compare to the ck10, I love clarity so which one will be more suitable.

FX700 is Dynamic driver, similar to IE8 and Radius DDM.
CK10 is Balanced dual Armature, similar to DBA-02, Ortofons, FAD, Grados, Etimotics.
Can't you go and audition them to the headphone shop?
 
CK10 and FX700 are completely different. Nothing in common at all. I prefer FX700 over Ck10,.
I actually prefer Ortofons over Audio Technica.
But JVC is amazing since it pumps a lot of bass into the music, unlike CK10 or DBA-02.
 

 

[Colus]

You can consider Final Audio FI-BA-SB as you like clarity with good quality bass, noise isolation should a bit better than FX700
Agreed with yello131, go try them all in the headphone shop!

 

[RaonCRM]

One of the main reasons I'm asking for everyone opinions is that I can't not go and try them. And looking at the size the Final Audio FI-BA-SB and the ortofons won't fit my ears. That is why I'm limited to only the Ck-10 and maybe the Fx700. For clarity, which do you guys think will be better?

Here's the bottom line:
 
I am the only person who really read your post.
 
I am the only one not recommending the iem I like best.
 
I am recommending what I think you will like best AND IT WILL FIT IN YOUR EARS.
 
The ck10 has excellent transparency/clarity and IT WILL FIT IN YOUR EARS.
 
The ones people are trying to get you to buy because they liked it WILL PROBABLY NOT FIT IN YOUR EARS. The 252 was terrible advice, for example. The people who suggested that should be ashamed of themselves. Edit: And, in the case of Bennyboy, banned, I guess.
 
In summary: My advice is excellent and taking it will lead to happiness.

 

[RaonCRM]

Thanks, I also think you are the only one really read my post. I will order the Ck-10 now before anything else come in mind, choosing a IEM is really tiresome 

  Thanks again.

consider either surgery or customs, or both!

trust me, my advice is excellent and taking it will lead to happiness.
