Yes, I believe that he can do any of the products in the older Shure line E2 to E5. Not sure about the new line, however.

hmm.. i'm sure somone would gladly trade their old sure headphones for the old ones if somone really wanted to get this done.

Do you know approximately how much he'd charge for a super.fi since it already has the wire plug built-in? I'm guessing it'd be a little cheaper since he doesn't really have to rewire the thing that much.

Hi Zero
A lot of people want to learn Suyama's service (Fit Ear)
charge.
A lot of people who do not know are had even as for the Japanese.
To tell the truth, this service is still a test stage.

Suyama thinks that it wants to do to formal service.
What time comes has not been understood yet.

I wonder that neither the ear mod nor 1 driver built-in charge are about 30,000 yen (supre fi 3 studio and more).
2 driver charge are about 50,000 yen (supre fi 5 Pro and more)

It is a test period now.
When the inquiry comes a lot, he thinks that he embarrasses it with
correspondence.

It may be a bit cheaper, but likely not by much. Most of the work is in making the custom mold and inserting the electronics. The cable part of the mod is a very small aspect.

I plan to go to Suyama's Ginza office (today Evening)
Please hear it when there is a question from you.
I want to examine it with Suyama as much as possible.

hi All
It spoke by telephone with Suyama.
Message from Suyama.

"The answer of E-mail is delayed and it is sorry. "
"I also am looking at this forum."
"It is very glad though is surprised to know the height of your
concern."
"As for service that remodels the product, I want you to understand it has
various problems.(A detailed thing cannot be written. )"

"The Suyama brand product is being developed.
"I think that it can sell it more at a low price than UE10. "
"The price of UE10Pro costs 168,000 yen in Japan."
"In the Suyama product, it aims at about 80,000 yen."

 

[pedalhead]

Thanks for the info Zorotto. I am waiting for a reply from Suyama, but I'll stop worrying now as you've made clear how busy he is.

 

[hon]

it looks really cool. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

 

[Panzergrennie]

Has anyone heard anything from suyama yet?

 

[Zorotto]

Hi all
Mr. Suyama is very busy.
He was just to have succeeded the company in this spring.

There are some interesting prototypes.

http://suyama.co.jp/

It is a prototype that used the Hi-Fi F K series of the Knowles Co..

I think even only the shell of clearness to be a very attractive. How? will

 

[Dept_of_Alchemy]

Not much into IEMs myself, but I understand that for the cost of the e500 + 50,000 yen, you're mighty close to the UE10pro, no?

 

[Zorotto]

Hi Dept of Alchemy
yes,I think that it looks like UE10Pro very much.

It might be everyone's dream that can hear IEM of my favor in a
complete environment.
Suyama achieved it (It is limited....)

I think he was referring to the E500 mod and not the prototype of Suyama's new custom IEM.

The cost, however, would not be quite what the UE10 Pros cost. E500's can be had for about $325 now + $415 (Y50,000) for custom work = $740, which is still a couple hundred bucks cheaper than the UE10 Pros.
