hmm, 262s, se530s, plus i also really like the KC3 and IE7.  prob have to put the re600 on there too.

Interesting, I have yet to audition the RE-262's and I really want to after hearing all this about it and for the price it sounds too good to be true haha. The SE425 which I use is more neutral sounding than the 535. I find it tends to do well especially with Carpenters the vocals are quite forward but at the same time sound smooth and well rounded off (I guess that's what you mean by not as energetic?)

Have never heard SE425, so I can't say for sure, but from your description, it might be just what I'm talking about.

I tried out all but the 846 in the Shure line as well as most of the Westones but I didn't like any of them. I'm also into vocals and the only one that really impressed me was UE900. I have been using that for a year and thought it was excellent. that was until today when my Audio-technica ATH-IM70 arrived and just blew the UE900 with a really lush strong powerful vocal range. highly recommended.

ASG-2 have some of the sweetest sounding vocals in a IEM I have ever heard. Although my se846 ant no slouch either! Although I have not ever tried any custom IEM.

For me it really has to be the final audio design heaven vi, they are just stunning with vocals, male and female, I've never heard anything like it and I've owned many decent iems, such as the ue900, re600, se535, fitear f111, Ortofon eq5,7,8. Grado gr10, heir 5, fad fi-ba-ss. The Heaven vi were streets ahead of any of those for vocals it wasn't even close. A really amazing achievement to get both male and female vocals sounding just so good. I think they should be a the top of you list.

I personally liked the 334 for vocals  Pricing is a bit steep and quite fit dependent.  What I'd like to know is what FR curve would be ideal for vocals?  I would think something that emphasizes the vocal range. I do like clarity and don't like bass to get in the way so no boost in the lows for me.

Fitear ToGo 334!!! Though If you buy a new one you need to wait 3 months to get one.

@Joey99 Blew ​the IM-70 out of the way huh? I've been using the IM-50 fr a few weeks now, and still haven't found any IEM better for Female Vocals, for entry level price, they're the best bet... Now looking for IM-02 for possible upgrade for me

Earsonics SM64, Velvet
Sennheiser IE6, IE7
UE900 and most Shure stuff will do.
Audiofly AF180, T-Peos H-200, Heir Audio 4.Ai
A close audiophile friend of mine sold his ue900 after listening to my 4.Ai and got himself a pair.

Westone? Loving the ES3X personally.
