I remembered when I compared my S4is to my M50s (even claiming it was about the same), but that was when I first got the M50s and was not adapted to it's sound.
What are the worst comparisons you've ever heard?

This happened to me just yesterday. I wear my IE80s when i go to work and my friend whose sitting next to me looks at my IEMs and asks me what are those. So i briefly explained him and he just gave me a blank face and says. Why would you buy those you know they aren`t any better than those apple earbuds. I was just dumbfounded.

Haa.... one too many times where my friends listen to my FXT90 and goes "My apple earbuds" sound better than these....
looks like lots of ppl have bumped into those magical apple ibuds. ^^
i guess that if you only wear those any other might sound weird on first try.

Yeah, I see your point, but how could you wear those in the first place? They sound horrible, and hurt like (It rhymes with jail :veryevil

H20Fidelity, I'm right there with you. Once I finally tried a decent IEM, and the veil of darkness was lifted off of my music, I can never go back. This is not something you can quickly A/B with someone else's stuff though. Sure its funny that most will find their $20 skull candy's better than an RE0 or better IEM, but in their defense, its because their brains are used to that muffled sound.

My wife never listens to headphones - when she has, they have been the white ones that came with her iPhone. She loves her music and will close our bedroom door and turn up the stereo and listen to one of many of her "Queen" CD's. That is her favorite band, hands down. She saw them in concert here in Southern California the last three times they toured. (Revealing our age a bit) November is always a little sad around our house as it is the month Freddie Mercury died. My point here is I asked her to try a pair of my IEM's and listen to a lossless copy of INNUENDO on my TF10's. She didn't understand what could be the difference between the big blue thingies and the little white thingies, but she was game to try.
After a few minutes, her face turned red and tears rolled down her cheeks....
This story is a bit of an inverse of the topic - she expected no difference, but the experience was like night and day....
Now she knows why I do what I do - My job is to get her a nice pair that are small and sound great - I think the UE700's I have coming in today will fit the bill for Christmas. There is no greater joy than to hear a piece of music as it was intended to be heard....

Fun thread.
On a whim I bought a $1 iem at the Dollar Tree dollar store. Compared to anything... I mean anything, it failed. You could put two rocks in your ears and get better sound. You could play a song you knew intimitely and not even recognize it. The $1 was worth the amusement factor. It's the gift you include when you buy a friend a great IEM then you let them choose which to keep.
P.S. Yes, even Apple earbuds are better... a little.
