Hi guys!

I have a friend of mine who heard my ES7 and just got completely astonished!

He just put them on and his face started to smile so much it was like he was having his first eargasm!

Then he started to read and learn about HP, but he came to me a few days later asking for some IEM with the same sound of the ES7


However, I'm not a fan of IEM, so I didnt know what to advise him...


Anyone?

I'm not sure if there are anything close to ES7s in other headphones, let alone IEMs. I feel they're quite unique - punchy bass, colored mids, sparkly highs with surprisingly large soundstage...perhaps others can answer this question better?

well, that was in fact my first thought too... but again, I know so little about IEM... ...

 

[ricmat]

no one?

 

[ricmat]

guess not...

(scratches head) from general consensus, Livewires are grado-ish... but I'm still unaware of any IEMs that have some sound sig as ES7s do...

ATH-CK7
They are similar, not the same amount of midrange coloration but similar overall signature.

If canalphones would be okay, I'd highly recommend the ATH-CK7.

[ricmat]

Audio Cubes sell them too, they ship quickly too.
