x2 the questions of milkpowder.

Btw, how come you can get yours in 2 weeks when it says 4-6 weeks on the website?

I'm getting my impressions taken on Wednesday, so I'm getting T2's regardless. But it would be nice to hear your impressions just so I feel happy while waiting!

Yep, Head-Fi spreading the word, otherwise I would have never heard of them

Milkpowder, where did you get that idea from thta T2's are bright and analytical? From what I've read, it's a perfect balance that has the highs of UE10 & lows of Sensa, best of both worlds.

If indeed they are too bright and analytical, then I will probably have wasted my money, but I haven't read anything to that effect.

When did I say that? I just got a reply and it normally takes 4 weeks. I believe you can ask them to rush your order if you want it sooner

I think the new Sensas are much brighter than before because of some update. The T2 are not too bright or analytical, it's just that Andy, in his email to a fellow Head-Fi'er said that the T2 is an improved version of the Sensas and will sound brighter.

Not too soft, about right if you have reservations about the harder plastic of other custom iems. The cable does feel lighter & thinner than the E500 cable but not a bad thing as I find the E500 cable a bit heavy & thick.

i think the 2 week question was aimed at me - it's only due to me having the issue with the fit of the sleeves. I'm sure that any refit would be treated quite quickly - nothing special about me.

I have sent impressions off to a UK company that do the UM56 custom molds for the Shures - http://www.westone.com/music/universal.html#um56

They're not as all enveloping as the ones in the thread linked to above. I hope to have them back soon.

why? you fancy a pair yourself?

i imgine it shouldnt be too long now, there was a notice about ACS being busy and 4-6 week production times. that notice on the ACS homepage has now dissappeared. so i guess StevieDvds will be within the week and mine within 2.

 

[caramelsoul]

Yeah, i wouldnt mind a pair. But i want to make sure they are worth it first. So basically you two are my guinea pigs...

 

[StevieDvd]

Sorry for the wait but here are the pics of the custom sleeves, still waiting on word of the T2 being ready for collection.

Smaller than other custom sleeves others have had done. Shame the first fit was not quite there but perhaps a kick in the full custom direction I needed.

That actually looks alot better than most other universal IEM molds I've seen. I'd be interested in seeing how they look with them in your ear if possible.

 

[GlorytheWiz825]

Wow, looks pretty neat. Those things look like they go in pretty deep, so should have excellent sound isolation.

 

[apnk]

Wow they look pretty nice. I might have to get some when I buy some e500's for Christmas.

 

[StevieDvd]

Yep.

Initial impression is the comfort and clarity. They insert very easily and are so light, even the cable is feather light, no problems with bass or treble.

As you can imagine trying to do a quick comparison between the Shure E500 with custom sleeves and the T2 is difficult as they take a little time & care to insert/remove.

The case supplied is a Peli 1020 micro case, but you also get a small leather pouch together with a wax pick tool and some ear lubricant (not that my ears are that squeaky).

Had my fitting done by Andy over at ACS and chatted a bit about the influx of orders coming from forum based recommendations.

Now jut need to find some pivotal tracks to go back to for comparison. The true test will be when I commute but since I'm not back at work till the New Year that will have to wait.

Enjoy the pics!!

Aww come on! Surely you can't leave people wondering until New Years day to wonder about the T2 sound!!! I for one want to know now lol

Btw, what did Andy say about the influx of orders from forum based recommendations?

Is it just me or does the tip of your T2 look a bit short? I remember my impressions to be longer. Did you have yours done closed mouth then?

 

[JLai]

Is that wire doing a knot inside the molding?

Looks like it. Does it make much difference though? It will just provide security.
