Hopefully some other time there will be a contest that I actually qualify for :p
 
Mike, just curious but out of all the dual drivers with TWFK that you have heard which one do you prefer? I have the B2 and CK10 right now in my possession so just wondering.

That would be my guess as well but just wondering. If I had to choose it would be difficult between the CK10 and DBA-02 right now. I did rebuy the CK10 so I like them better as an overall value with sound and build quality but the DBA-02 does sound very good esp at the cheap price that it is compared to the CK10.

Can I ask about the flex? (I know this is a contest thread at the moment but I don't need any more iem's) Does the strain relief work? Looking at the design i'd hope it at least tries to reduce microphonics, also I assume it makes wearing over ear that much more difficult, wearing ove rear on my h20's is not exactly natural anyway. btw: if you'd be interested in reviewing the pro-mini's send me a pm and i'm sure I can arrange something.


Don't worry - I think this is still a review thread at heart

. The strain relief works as a strain relief. It does nothing to reduce microphonics. However, it is very soft and quite flexible and does not get in the way of wearing them over-the-ear, at least for me. The housings are very small (maybe 50% smaller by volume than those of my Surge and a bit smaller than the Sennheiser CX250) and fit quite deeply for me but the strain relief still doesn't bother me any.

Just a question, I already own ER4S and E7 with an LOD, this is my current set up. I was wondering should I buy the minibox-ES from head-direct or should I instead by Ultimate Ears TripleFi they both cost the same for me.
What you guys thing? I love ER4S as it is but I was thinking perhaps it would be fun to try a different IEM sound signature than just improve the same signature of ER4. I am not sure maybe the ER4 is yet to reach its full potential!
 
Thanks in advance :)


I don't think any amp will make the ER4S sound significantly different from the way it does with an E7 (though I'm the first to admit that the E7 doesn't have the greatest amp section). If you want a different sound signature, the TF10 will definitely do that for you. Plus, it will run fine unamped.

That would be the CK10, quite easily. The DBA-02 (followed by the B2 and q-JAYS) do come close but fail to recreate the ambient experience or that liquid midrange smoothness of the CK10 for me.
