I personally don't think he owns anyone of them. i doubt that he would get 4 custum iem's made (ue-5c, ue10, livewire, and sensa) which totals up to around $3000 yet go back to e500's.

Which brings me back to my question of how did he "experience" these. I don't think you can truly "experience" a custum IEM that wasn't made for you.

How is the treble presentation of these? is it boosted over the mids? or is it more rolled off?

thanks

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

I reviewed these in someone elses thread about 3 weeks ago.

They are very nicely balanced - with bright treble but not sibilant or rolled off, forward mids but still a good soundstage, and good bass which is not boomy or rolled off (with good extension).

With a good source, they are by far my favorite IEM (until I can try a westone 3 side by side), and an amp just compliments them.

Hey could someone tell me how the isolation is on the livewires?
Also how they compare isolation and comfort wise to universal IEMS...

..and I want to see more pics!

Thanks-

They isolate i'd say 5-8 db better than my SF3s (silicone tips) and are about 100% more comfortable.

25dB of isolation. Or 28, I forget.

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

They isolate more than my Shure E500 and less than my Etymotic ER6i. Ety's are listed at 35db, so I'm guessing the livewires at close to 30db.

I'd feel safe wearing my ER6i at the shooting range for protection, and possibly the Livewires once the fit is adjusted so the seal doesn't break in the right ear. I would not feel safe wearing the Shure E500 to the shooting range except for shooting a .22 or .38.

I am not saying "listen to music" at the range, but I have on occasion forgotten my earmuffs, and IEM can sometimes suffice in their place.

I'm thinking about getting a set of Livewires...but how bad is the sensitivity? I'd be listening primarily from a Cowon A2 PMP. I know the sound quality from that is better then an iPod...but will those still pick up much noise?

 

[Joeywhat]

Also, is it easier to order through TTVJ or livewires directly?

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

I ordered via livewires directly, but I am not going to say no to TTVJ because I don't want to kill his comission.

LW will have a 50 ohm resistor adapter soon, that will solve any hiss issues with a noisy source. A Shure volume attentuator works well too.

Well, I checked TTVJ.com, and it looks like he's charging the same price as going direct...probably easier going direct to EarPiece.

As for hissing, the Shure att. is cheap enough...and I imagine I can pick it up locally (so I can see if it's even needed first).
