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

hmmm...let's wait for westone 3 !!!

is there some news about availability?

Is this forum Stereo's? No right?

well done. when do the LW arrive?

UE 11.

Don't know?

3-4 weeks.

Better go to a certified audiologist.

too late. I'll feedback as to outcome!

i bought a pair

no i went myself to the pros. din wanna bother wilson when he's too busy.

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.

I recently bought SE530 earphones to pair with my ipod. Though most of my music was encoded at 320 kbps, I felt that the increase in sound quality is not much. This is partly attributed to the poor sound quality of my 4th gen ipod headphone out. Later, I have added a headphone amp to the setup and now I feel OK with the SQ though not spectacular.

erh. SE 530 had "not much" improvement from stock ipod buds?

Or what did you upgrade from?

got it from jaben but did impressions at suntec.

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?

budget?

That's true. I have no idea whether it's worth it.

LW

instead of the UE11pros?

yes. go for it. no regrets.

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?

Right, thanks.

The only tax applicable is GST then?

Well, since the Beyer DT880 is the best of all those phones....

sorry. yes.

*cough*

I remember getting C6 for chinese. oh what joy.

From say, ebay seller overseas, or whatever online shop in the states.

If you've done that, were you charged any import tax, etc?

Unless you want them to be massively portalbe plus unobtrusive, I prefer SR60s to E3cs.

How does it compare to, say, the xin supermini? does it do crossover?

Are they? I'm looking to buy a pair of KSC-35's in Singapore.

Do list shop location and price if you could.

can't be bothered to transfer. heh.
