Hmmm, I might have to look more into these before I decide to go with Livewires.

From many reviews here, the Livewires are very nice and sound good. I have tried both dual driver and triple driver universals, and so far I prefer the triple drivers - but I have to be honest and admit that I have not tried the Livewires. That being said, I am of course biased, and very happy with my SuperFreQs, so that is what I recommend, specially with the braided wires

That is cool to hear. When I started to listen to IEM's, I noticed they sounded better when driven from my high-performance mini^3 amp, so I am already used to carry an amp around
Question: how is the sensitivity compared to other IEM's that you have tried? Specially the SuperFreQs? Was the hiss level out of portables lower/higher than other IEM's? I ask since found my SuperFreQs a little bit more sensitive than my UE Triple.Fi's at the same volume level.

In the past, the only reservation we had about the FreQs was the build quality. Now that that is history, I would recommend the FreQs to anyone. The company has stepped to a new level in the past few months.
The Music Maker line is a steal if you compare it to comparable UE products. The cost for a laser engraved single colored design is $30 (2 colors = $40, 3 = $50). This is nothing compared to the $100-$150 charged by UE. Of course, UE has better color options

If you have any reason/desire/need to drive to Houston in the near future, I went to an audiologist in the greater Katy area that I wholeheartedly recommend. Her name is Mary Sue Harrison, and she's done impressions for Bono, Dave Matthews, NASCAR drivers, and Astronauts. I got my impressions done from her (only $25 too!) for my Livewires and am quite happy with the results.
Don't let her show you her Sensaphonics 2X-S IEMs though! You will want them!
Here is her contact info, if you can't drive to Katy/Houston, give her a call and I bet she'd be able to recommend someone for you in Austin:

Nice pics - both of the IEM's and the wearer
They look comfortable in position, plus you can't barely see the clear interior

Yeah, this was from a first time fit and they are perfect. The seal doesn't break, even chewing gum and other tasks that cause the seal to break. The thrick is to do open mouth.
I am relatively harmless

I live in Austin and went to http://www.victoryhearing.com/.
$50 for both ears. The only other people who could match that price was Sears, but they were busy.
