Just a heads up for UK HFers. July Hi Fi News has a 6 page spread on IEMs.
Models reviewed & SQ ratings by reviewer:
Audio Technica ATH -CK9 75%
Etymotic ER-4S 70%
Denon AH-C751 70%
Sennheiser CX95 85%
UE Super Fi 5 Pro 90%
The CX95 were 'highly commended' - the SF5P got 'outstanding product'. My immediate reaction was ! for the comparatively low % for Er-4S (the reviewer states he should have reviewed the ER-4P). He mostly used a Musical Fidelity X CAN v8 amp, with CD & 24/96 FLAC sources. Players unknown.
Interesting discussion of source/amp impedance also.
