Found a nice image: comparison of some popular IEMs. Enjoy.

Left to right: UE11; Etymotic ER-4P; Etymotic ER-6i; Q-Jays; Shure SE310; Shure SE420; Shure SE530.

Wow this is a good find. I am actually in the market for some IEMs, but do not want to spend too much. This picture may actually influence my decision; even though I know looks shouldnt

I must admit, this picture makes me want to buy UE11 or Livewires. Must put mouse and credit card down.

Those er4-p's are just as good looking as I remember... And my wallet is not even close to recovering from my HD600s (I just paypal'd for them this morning!

)

I think I speak for both us Marzie when I say "Damn you head-fi!"

The SE530 actually look pretty small in that picture. Anyone try sleeping with the SE530 before? I could never sleep on the side of my head with E2C's because their size and roundness pushes against my ears and makes them hurt. However, with the SE210 I dont have this problem. So the one thing keeping me from buying the SE530 (besides price

) is that Im afraid I wont be able to sleep on the side of my head with them on... any insight would be helpful.

Just give livewires

they will fit in your ear perfectly xD

 

[navmau]

hahaha those ER-4's will stick out a mile!!!

The q-JAYS look sweet, so tiny, i had no idea that they are smaller than the ER-6i!!!

the se530's aren't too bad for sleeping on your side. theres a little pressure but its not too bad. I can't compare to others though sorry : /

i find it most comfy to just put two pillows next to each other and lie so your head/ear falls just in the gap between them

 

[noblsheep]

wow, never realised q-jays were so tiny

 

[Punnisher]

Those q's will be my next iem. Evidently I have small ear canals, I use the smallest silicone UE tips.

 

[Young Spade]

Shure 530s look pretty big. I think that was going to be my next "big" IEM.

Ya those q-jays look cool. How does the SQ compare?
