I would say the sibilance he hesres is in his gear, not ES3X; this is the first result like this I have heard. all other reports of ES3X and now UM3X mak a point of mentioning that they are decidedly non-sibilant.

Guys, do you have any suggestion for good case for the ES3X?
How about the shure big? Is it realy big enough?

BTW, I have the small one atm, is that one big enough?

I use one of these cases that cost me $7.49 + tax (I picked up locally from Westone): Hearing products for hearing professionals :: Westone

My es3x came with a nice Pelican case

 

[pila405]

I know, but I won't take the pelican case where ever I go, it is just too big.

 

[p0wderh0und23]

I use one of these. Still Pelican, but smaller case. Fits great in the side pouch of my backpack.

I've never owned customs.

How easy are these to put in/out? Also, I'd be using these mostly in the office, where I'm popping one out to answer phones, make calls, etcetera, at least a couple times each hour. For this type of use, would you recommend these?

Thanks.

Usually (and I say that knowing everyone's ear is different) a custom is easier to do this. No messing with tips. Just pop it in and out.

Ok slap me but I have looked.

Has anyone compared the UM3X to the ESX3? Differences? great small? I know they use the same drivers but as we know, that doesn't always mean much and I would really like to get a pair of top performing IEM's since I have been happy with what I have used. The cost of the ESX3, while I am sure totally worth it, is a little bit of a deterrent so how do the UM3X stack up?

No, I wouldn't. You will most likely not hear the phone ringing and putting in/ out takes a few (precious) seconds in this particular environment you describe.

 

[jamato8]

AhHH, too many colors. How can anyone make up their mind? :^)

Geez Ron, reminds me of some of my pt's. lol

I can insert and remove my ES3X much quicker than I can insert my other IEMs then fiddle around until I get a proper seal.

I also get better isolation with my ES3X than with any IEMs I have previously owned except the Etymotic 4S and P.

Much is dependent on the skill of your Audiologist when making the impressions.
