yeah, this is what i have at the moment <_< looking to buy some nice iems, trying to decide if i should go for some pfes or um3x, i know people will give me crap for buying something the price of um3x, having trouble trying to decide which to get especially since i haven't tried them before.

i think most people will tell you that you will see the most improvement in sound quality by upgrading your headphones first.

 

[heynice]

get a pair of the Griffin Ear Jams to hold you over till you can get a real set of IEM's. These cheap little buggers attach to the Apple ear buds and turn them into cheap-o IEM's. Work decently well till you can pop for the good stuff.

For a really nice universal IEM along the same lines of the UM3X, maybe research the Earsonics SM3. Breathtaking sound. Although I wish they had the detachable cables that are now an option with the Westones.

@High_Q: Please put a case on that sexy P3/IEM combo - I know it's really hard to scratch the aluminium body/gorrilla glass type screen, but I'd recommend being safer than sorry.

Failed experiment that was never REALLY going to work:

Be afraid, I think I have just found the ultimate portable solution

shouldn't the speakers point at your head instead of away from you? might increase soundstage.

Good point
 
also, grey electrical tape offers higher conductivity and a much warmer sound.

i must say i am now considering this as well. looks very comfortable. could use another speaker on the other side for better stereo imaging. maybe a 5.1 setup?
