New to the forums...

Read HPAddicts review of the 7Ms and ordered a pair. I just received them last night and was looking through the manual and it said it also includes foam ear tips. I am missing the foam ear tips...did you guys get those in the box?

Also, the bottom of the box was sticker sealed, but the top was not. Did I get a used pair?

i am suddenly leaning towards it as the design and durablity looks awesome but ultimately if the 7m sounds better illl pick that in a heart beat.



I'm not really interested. I am happy with what I have now. The Shure E2c black silicone tips pushed them up a notch and I am too tired to do another earphone review for something I don't need. I'm already working on two more USB DAC amp reviews that will keep me tied up till I go away for a week over Xmas.

PS: I did not get foam ear tips, and I gave my only spare pair of separately purchased Complys T400 to LeonWho already. Sorry.

So you're saying the E2C black silicone tips (model number would be nice

) are the best for the Nuforce NE-7M over the Comply T400's or are the Comply's better?
EDIT: Just noticed there are 3 different sizes for the tips. I fit medium size tips well so I'm guessing go for the medium size ones?

The Shure tips are slightly cheaper (and easier shipping wise) for me but if the Comply's are better....

I don't have a model number - I bought my first pair early 2007, then cat ate the cord and I bought another pair that I sold and gave away the self repaired ones to the buyer, so I had some extra tips I found laying around.

The E2c silicone tips and Complys are better than stock, but I can't say one is better than the other - they are just slightly different. Both with more bass, the Complys with just a slight drop in highs.

I've read throughout this thread and many said these phones are supposed to have a nice kick in terms of bass. The bass is there, but it is not as big I expected.

I have a good seal with the stock silicon ear tips...

I know that the complys made a difference for many, but HPAddicts original review was with the stock ones. Any help? Did I get a defective one?

how do the ne-7's sound signature compare to mylarone x3's or bijou 3's soud signature?

The x3's and bijou 3's have a decent-good amount of bass and are fairly detailed and decent-good clarify after burn in.

I didn't shove them deep into my ear canal, but only deep enough to get a seal and got better bass than wearing them deep. With the E2c silicone tips I can wear them deep and get more bass, same with the Complys foam tips.

I just got these today, and I'm very impressed. It's the first dynamic iem that has a relatively balanced frequency response, at least that I've tried in this price range.

They are on the bassier side but it's not boomy at all. Almost like a subwoofer that's tuned just right. It really adds to the weight of the music.

For tips, you guy might want to try any UE tip, and also the tips from the new Marshmallows (HA-FX34).

It's a shame I'll be giving these as a gift.

How the isolation versus each other as that's improtant to me.
I know the Comply's isolate well as I have some.

The Nuforce NE-7M and ZAGG Z.Buds should both work with the iPhone 3G. I don't have the Denon C700, so I can't tell you if the sound quality is better, but either of them will have excellent sound quality that exceeds any expectations you may have from the price you pay. In addition, if you want inline volume control, the ZAGG Z.Buds have that, while the NE-7M (and I'm pretty sure the new Apple IEM as well) don't. The NE-7M will have a slightly more analytical response while still providing decent bass (make sure you get a good seal!). The ZAGG Z.Buds have a forward midrange and above average bass, while the highs were left pretty much flat (not very sparkly).
