Do yourself a favour and get UE11's right now.

is there some news about availability?

Is this forum Stereo's? No right?

UE 11. Don't know? 3-4 weeks.

too late. I'll feedback as to outcome!

i bought a pair

Oh ah. Thanks! If I do it, I'll check first with Wilson/David if they have had "fit" issues and if they would prefer if I went to the "yes optical" place in Suntec.

erh. SE 530 had "not much" improvement from stock ipod buds? Or what did you upgrade from?

Oh. Jaben sends people to do impressions there?

You didn't buy the LWs from Jaben? Also - you do realise that LW + FS = one UE11 right? That's true. I have no idea whether it's worth it.

instead of the UE11pros?

uh. go for which one in particular?

the question cannot be answered.

That sounds interesting - except I don't -love- the sound of either of the universals I have - both of which have notable disadvantages (ety4p - bass amount; EU s.fp5 - comparatively muffled highs). Do you think getting, say, a UE t.fp or a Shure E530 + custom tip is a better idea than a set of customs? I'm tempted to just try something like the livewires (which would be similar in price to the universal + custom tip solutions) but if I'm doing that perhaps just going all out is the better idea. Upgrading incrementally is rarely the best way to do things.

I'm thinking about getting some. (Probably UE11s but I'm not sure yet.). The cons, AFAIK, are: the price (I'll have to deal with it) the size of the thing (customs are typically bigger than universals right?) possibility of ill fitting headphones (has anyone had a problem with this which had to be dealt with by shipping it back (horror of horrors - to the US) for refitting? How much does it cost to ship? Are [Westone/livewire people/Ultimate ears] terrible about it? ) . I'm probably still going to be powering them without a headphone amp (shuffle, psp) - the key reasons to get them are: better highs (I also have an ety4p which smacks the jeebus out of the super.fis for highs but I end up using super.fis anyway because they have much better bass) more isolation (should be a given? more comfort (I would expect this to be more comfortable than any universal fit IEM) - Audiologist - any to recommend in Singapore? There's TT Sound (or something) in the Yes optical shop in Suntec I know - are they any good? -- comments? Have I missed stuff out? Is it crazy to pay so much money? Should I pick [insert brand/model] instead?
