Yeah.


Why does everyone say that Sensaphonics is awesome but not better than JH and UE.

What's the main difference?

and

Why don't people mention Sensaphonics too much.

Owned two pairs of the old 2X-S. Liked the form factor. Rolled off highs. Wouldn't say they were nearly as detailed or neutral as the JA 13s. I've got a broken pair here and can get them remolded (I've been through 2 pairs of 2X-S and both pair have failed/broken, and not through my fault either IMHO). Could pay $150 - $300 bux or whatever I think to get a remold/replacement. Have chosen to buy a pair of UE-11 Pros and two pairs of JA 13s (I lose custom IEM a lot) instead though.

Who knows, my Sensaphonics experiences are about 5 years old now. Maybe the newer models/drivers are better.

The biggest physical difference between Sensaphonics and other multi-driver balanced armature earphones is the form factor.

Sensaphonics earpieces are hand-made from soft-gel silicone, and require a very deep ear impression (past the 2nd bend of the ear canal). The material provides far better comfort and more isolation from ambient noise than a hard shell. They also maintain their seal better, as the silicone can flex and move with your ear canal (which changes shape with jaw movement) -- very important for musicians in particular.

There are other differences, but these are the biggest and most obvious.
