welcome to head-fi, Dimitris. sorry about your wallet! did you have a different user name previously? as nellie pointed out, the es5 is considered to be a top tier iem, and it might be some folks favorite, but as to whether or not it's the best out available is a highly personal decision. jh audio and ultimate ears (in the usa), as well as several other manufacturers in europe and asia put out first rate products that are 'the best' for some users. you might want to research some other of these other customs too, and if possible go to an audiologist who has demo models from some different manufacturers to get an idea what some of these iems sound like. there's another device that should be on the market soon that should be a significant step up from any of these items, based on the demos they showed at canjam last june. that's the jh audio jh3a which has acitve crossovers, 6 channel amplification, and dsp all built into a small outboard box.
btw, where are you located? it's useful to fill out your profile with at least your location, gear present and past, and musical tastes.
