Interesting that the GR07 beat out all of those BAs.

 
The GR07 does a lot of things right...especially the sub-bass.

 Also, you preferred the 215 over the FXT90?

 
I absolutely hated the FXT90.  There was really bad driver flex and the highs were way too harsh.

I certainly agree with the GR07 bass. Have you heard the BE? 
 
Also, I did experience some driver flex but overall I definitely preferred them to the 215.

W3 beats W4R by three spots!?

I was just thinking that myself. Lol and they put the 215 ahead of the um1? Hmm I've never heard the 215 but I have the um1 and I think it's really a sweet spot in the Westone line. IMO of course. Btw. That's a sweet collection

Simple,um1 has 0 bass but extremely comfort and fit.215 is more balanced when compare with um1,that's why I put 215 above um1.
However , it's just my personal preference.

I didn't believe it too until I tried them both.
BTW the MH335 is one of the worst custom IEM I have ever heard, bass and soundstage are fine but I can't hear any FitEar's sound signature while listening with MH335 

 then I looked at the price tag...
WOW ..really ?

Too many too mention off hand, But top 5 would be 1.Er4s/P 2. Se315 3. Atrio mg7 4. Thinksound ms01 5. Se420. Worst would be in no particular order. Se530, TdkBa200, Melec m11+, Westone 2, Sleek audio sa6.

Haha that's a heck of a worst list!

 

[MalibuMagnum]

Lol, yeah. Mind you I must admit in my time with earphones I much prefer the sound of the lesser known or rather un hyped ones shall we say.

Why?

 

[MalibuMagnum]

Why?

9 times out of ten they sound better to me. As you see in my list I consider the 315 to be an awesome sounding iem, They have nice detail and I find them exciting to listen to, Yet you hardly hear them talked about. Don't get me wrong I've nothing against the top tiers at all but IT's that point where after you get to a certain level the sound doesn't really get better, just different. Imo Sometimes its a case of you're just paying for the name.

So do you rank them poorly because you think they sound bad or because they are overrated?

Neither really, none of the one's i said was bad but from a price to performance ratio for me they don't perform. Spoiled by ety's I'm afraid

Wow are the 3003's really that good?? I've thinking about getting some ciem's but I don't want to go through the headache of going through all the stages and then if I don't like them I can't sell them for maybe half of what I paid for the. So to me it's a big headache. I've been looking at the new shures and the 1plus2and the 3003's. so yes are they really that good that you put them ahead of your 13's and 16's?? Thanks
