Paid for Brainwavz M3 today. Hoping to get them in a few weeks.
Hey y'all,
So this is the last lame 'can you compare these earphones' post I will ever write.
I'm about to pull the trigger on the Meelec M9s - but I'm just wondering if any of the new Meelec earphones (such as M16, M21) offer a very similar sound? I just think the M16 for instance looks much sexier. Essentially I want the M9 sound in a better looking shell! Or should I just stop being so silly and order the M9? I personally enjoy the enhanced bass and treble. I find the Brainwavz M2 too dark and boring!
Thanks!
If Xears TDIII is indeed the same nozzle size as Turbine, then you can try Comply T400 or Sony hybrids (EPEX10A). These are the most recommended tips for better seal.
Some also use Shure olive (PA910 S/M/L), but it's for smaller nozzles, so have to be decored to fit on bigger ones, and may run the risk of falling off the nozzle and stuck in your ear.
Thanks, I'm glad the thread has been useful.
Have you tried the bi-flange tips included with the TD-III? If you're having trouble with those, I'm not sure Sennheiser bi-flanges are a solution. But yes, the Meelec tips will fit. M11 and M11+ use the same housings so the do share the same nozzle size. However, the M11+ fit kit is much more extensive (albeit more expensive) than the M11 kit.
FANTASTIC thread, I have learned so much about the IEM's out there. I was just wondering if you have any plans on reviewing Shure products? More specifically the Se215 that were just released, it would be interesting to see how they fair against the competition!
I'm really not sure if I should try the Phiaton PS210 first, $140 for the ps200 is a bit pricey for me. If i got that, there would be no reason for my to keep my ESW9, that is if it were just as good or better.
meh, choices

There are no plans to review any Shure products.
The M6 is still the most similar earphone to the M9 for me. The M16 has more treble and slightly less bass, the M21 has more midrange and slightly less bass, and the M31 - more bass.
The M21 are IMHO superior to the M9, while still being the "M-series" (V-shaped, plenty of basses). In my opinion the M21 are worth the extra money, but that decision is up to you
Thank you for your effort, Joker. I noticed that you own a TF10 and mentioned it a lot in your reviews. Is there a reason why you don't give it a review? I'm just curious how would you score it compared to all 150 IEMs.
Amazing thread |joker|. Thanks for all your hard work and effort. I gave up on iems a couple of years ago when I purchased the UE Super.fi5 because of the fit and they were very uncomfortable. I use the v-moda bass freqs for the gym and that's about it for my iems. After reading your reviews I decided to give them a try again and ordered the Monster Turbines and am loving the sound, fit, seal, everything basically. I have come to the conclusion that I like the straight down cable vs over the ear.
I was looking at the NuForce NE-700X to have an extra pair basically close to the same tier and maybe compliment the Turbines and vice versa. Thoughts? or another selection.
