About a month ago I bought a 5G IPOD video and Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro, I loved the quality of the sound I got from using both of these devices together.. simply the best audio I've ever heard (I've only ever used regular Sony DJ headphones before). Anyhow, since then I've gotten rid of the IPOD and the UEs, the reason behind that is neither here nor there.
Anyhow, I'm looking to get another set of canalphones to keep in my bag for general purpose all around use (computers, mp3 players, etc). My problem is that I really loved the UE Super.fi 5 Pro and I'm thinking of just getting the same thing again, but on eBay this time. However, over the past few days I've really been looking into Shures (specifically E3C and E4C). No one seems to have any of these two canalphones in stock for me to try out! What I'm really looking for here is someone who has tried the UE Super.fi 5 Pros as well as the Shure E3C and E4C. I'd like to know how these three canalphones compare amongst one another. I listen to absolutely every style of music except for jazz and country... everything else is fair game. Some other information I'm interested in is the hardware advantages of these three canalphones (what drivers do they all use and which is better in that regard)? Also, one more thing.. I know with the UE Super.fi 5 Pros I can't get custom molds and that with the E3Cs I can, but can I also get custom molds for the E4Cs?
Bottom line: I'm looking for comparisons between the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro, Shure E3C, and the Shure E4C... can someone please help me out!
Thanks!
