God..waiting for 5 way is like waiting for the end of the world...

Both may come sooner than you think, and when you least expect it!

One thing is for sure, when they do arrive, you could not care less about what happens to the world..

Hi guys, any comparison btw Spiral Ear SE5 and Heir Audio 8.A. I'm considering these along with UM Merlin. Any commends in regards to these 3 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

First impressions-- Not bad at all!
The first thing I note is the vocals are further back...
Great layering... everything is in place and superbly controlled--- instruments are very very distinctly separated - there's an added dimension of depth to the sound
compared, sm3 seems too focused/or stripped down to the upfront mids to be natural- in a live setting- I guess... (although still quite enjoyeable).  
 
My ears are still adjusting to se 5 way sig, but I'm quite pleased with what I'm hearing.

Yeah. It's a bit mid forward in a good way and at the same time doesn't give you that right in your face vocal. I absolutely love mine!

^ Agree, sm3 can sound in your face. 5 way really stands out in the separation/ resolution in comparison.

Any other impressions? Averagejoe, have you finished your review of the 5-way yet? I can't seem to find it on the first page nor on the multi-CIEM review thread...

The full review of the 5-way is up after I am done with the review I am currently working on.  I do my reviews in the order I receive things, and I just received my replacement 5-way last week, which fits perfectly.  You can check out the comparisons of other earphones with the 5-way (my old one that doesn't sound quite as good as the new one) in my other review threads of the top-tier CIEMs.

You know you're going to end up buying it anyway, so why waste time? ;-P)

 

[tupac0306]

lol..exactly
 

 

[temporaryname]

Yes, unfortunately it seems to be so. Unfortunately, $1400USD is not a drop in the bucket for me. Must... space... out... audio... purchases....
