I hear what you're saying. I haven't heard the super expensive IEMs, but it's safe to say you get far more for your money with open cans from a SQ perspective.

I own both. The E4C destroys the SR60...

IMO, the UE-10 is superior to many open cans. And absolutely wipes the floor with the SR-60.


Heres another bold claim to add to yours. The HE90s absolutely wipes the floor with the HD595s.

Guess what? Pokemon > Digimon.

COMPLETELY irrelevant.

Ghingus,

I don't find my Grado SR-60's to be particularly detailed. Did you end up selling your Shures because of this, or have you kept them for your other merits?

So far, I would say yes. I've tried E3c, im716, Etys, Grado SR80, RS-1 and I prefer headphones over IEM.

I definately not an IEM guy. I can't stand the intimate, in your head presentation and they don't offer the richness a headphone provides IMO.

I am tempted to try the UE-10s though...

When you're talking the fact that it is your opinion is implied in most instances. Otherwise every single post should have "IMO" in it.

People quickly forget that this hobby is 99% personal taste. What one person calls "super detailed" another might call "bright presentation". Personally I find some earbuds to have a particularly airy and wide sound stage for MY ears, which no headphone has matched to date (except one). At the same time they are also very "in your head" too. I assume this has something to do with the fact that they bypass the outer ear altogether...

Sound good and sound right are two different things.
A while back, my friends (they are in a small jazz band) did a comparison between a few cans, I vaguely remember SR80 and E4C: SR80 sounds brighter, wider sound stage, some drum beats seem "jump out" quicker -- sounds better; E4C sounds more like, hmmm, listens in the room with the band , not as exiting as SR80 -- but sounds right. They all love the JVC wood can ($1000 ???), but many think it is too mellow, too neutral, somewhat dark.

To be frank, how many of us really know how instruments are supposed to sound like? Pick the one you like, it is your ears, it is your music; enjoy it.

Not quite the same, but I've got SR-80s, and ER4Ps. They're different, but I couldn't say that one is better than the other. It's no contest on comfort, though, so the Grados aren't used much, in spite of their good points.
