lol... went to their(portaphile) webby last nite n realise the price... haha... so actuallt cannot compare...

anyway... would still like to try out tt amp... so itz not available in sg rt... hmm...

then may be during some gathering in the future i'll ask around...

hmm... any shops in sg has portaphile v2 for audition...

would like to compare it with xenos and go-vibe...

im willing to bring out my iM716 if some sharp ears wanna compare it wif a ER4...

but im not sure if itz as burnt in as theory's...

Well, we want to dismantle it and see if the drivers are the same

The ER4 is one whole barrel tube shape, and it is moulded plastic.

Only way to get in?

 

Guess.

whao... even if everyone chips in... dont u think itz quite a waste 2 dismantle a brand new ER4??

my heart will bleed for tt particular ER4... think itz better to wait for someone's ER4 to give up on him/her rt??

*touch wood Top Gun* lol!!!!

anyw...

iM716 would be gd below 200... mayb around entry IEMs such as UM1 and er6i etc...

thou i dont know u... but...

hApPy BiRtHdAy!!!!!

erm...

u can try:

http://forums.thegamingnet.com/

this is a v gd sg forum abt psp...

the provide indepth discussion bout games and hardware/software stuff regarding the psp....

oh ya... the games r not too bad... thou there isnt enough rpgs to go around...

n quite a no of good rpg games are actually ports of ps1... so ya...

(erm im quite against ISOs and homebrew... coz i believe if u can afford a psp... y carn you buy itz umd... 2nd hand is a better choice anytime... so dont ask me about it... n if u wanna know about homebrews... stay away from the above link...u will be FLAMED!!! lol...)

hey guyzZ, i found some nice music quotes:

Without music life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Music is what feelings sound like.

Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence. ~Robert Fripp

Music is the universal language of mankind. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Outre-Mer

erm...

i think that iM716 is my preferred single driver earphones...

to my ears... only shure e4c is better...

did not try ety e6... er6i is a tad pale in comparison to iM716....

theory_87...

1 qn, when u said burn with an amp... are you implyin that burning without an amp is not as useful??

coz i have not burned it with a amp(no amps)

oh yes... im intending to get an amp from jaben/SE soon... any amps to recommend?? coz i don't wanna ask uncle wilson/ aron to dig out all the amps for me to try... v "pai seh"... lol!!!

thanzZ in adv!!!!

have you guyzZ fixed the quote to be used on the tee...

coz i have 1 more quote to suggest, (sounds a little mean though):

"were u listening to music, i thought it was noise"

i doubt so. do you think you will buy at a more expensive price or wait for amazon to restock? i think most will go waiting. if not, next best option will be im616

i think itz better to wait for those who wants a iM716, no point settlin for something less and in the end crave of it a few months down the road rt??

anyw... i doubt we will see any new iM716 using anytime soon~

so i should be e noobiest AL iM716 user.. lol~~

are you still using the eartips that came with it??

If yes,change to other tips now.

can try out them at Jaben and SE.

erm im using shre soft flex... and soakin the tri-flange in body lotion...

erm... i think im not being clear in my above reply... when i wear the earphones e e3c wear... e cable will slip off e side of y ears... does tt happen to ur cables??

btw... i haf a qn... u guyzZ hear ur iM716 over e ear rt?? i can seem to keep it over my ear(tried wearin it lk e e3c)... it keeps droppin off e sides as the earpiece srick qt far out....

been wearin it e norm way eversince i bought it... but e microphonics are qt irritatin when u wore tees as i carn clip e controls anyw...

any suggestions/pics for advise??

it may not cost as much as e MSRP on AL webby... but shld b qt close in my opnion...

take a look at e etys... they cost too..

erm... theory... i thot sf5pro sounded better than iM716... but i din use an amp...

did u test it useing an amp??

oh icic... thot ure a head-banger~

erm pm as in 'private message' them...

their nicks r Stereo Electronics and jaben...

erm nope u dont hafta bring... u can either used their cleaned rubber eartips or buy foam tips at a low price for listening...

if u wanna bring ur own eartips itsts also alrt...

not too sure bout shops near serangoon....

the usual shops peepz in this forum goes are the above 2 and shops in sls lk Hung Bros...

wait a min... sls iz in serangoon rt...

i may be doing my mod tomorrow. i will than show you guys why i prefer my style. pic speaks a thousand words... haha

oh ok... wish u luck for ur mod!!!!

my B&O's sound quality lacks bass, yes. but the clarity is too high i think. so high that sometimes they are painful to listen to. where can i try them myself?

 

thanks for your help

erm if clarity iz a bane to u... keep away frm etys... im juz e opp of u... lol

u can go jaben at aldephi... e buildin opposite funan... look for a shop wif lotsa teddys...

if u live near e north... try Stereo Electronics at Causeway Pt...

1,Woodlands Square Causeway Point Shopping Centre, #04-08/09/10

pm them for the demo earphones 1st thou.... they r really helpful....

erm if itz due to air pressure... u can try foam tips... i dont think they built up e pressure...

if not... u can try other IEMs with tips tt relief e prssure (those with a tube coming out from the eartip)

first there is iGrado and now tiz... hmm..

look may not b as impt as e SQ... but they still hafta look decent rt...

aiyoh~

lol... actually... e B&O earphones are qt gd... clarity wise... i tink u tink itz not gd as e bass iznt there rt...

if so go for UE... UM1 is a all rounder tt u can try as well...

sound wise u will hafta try for urself... itz definitely better... but diff ears give diff judgement... so ya...

go Stereo Electronics/ jaben for a audition...

hmm... itz possible to put remove the controls and haf e earphones in HD mode rt...

tinkin of doin tiz mode as well... prefer a L-plug over the default...

??? all IEM will benefit from amp. but just that will the benefit be alot or very little...

wat i meant was

shld i upgrade... e amp may not benefit e newer IEM as much... hmm... mayb i drop by jaben/ SE these few daezZ to ask abt amp and audition at e same time...

amp it... and you'll be happy... hee...

lol... im considerin an amp..

but i shld b upgradin in a year or 2... so it would b a waste itz e nex IEM doesnt go well with r amp..

dilemma~

other than the price difference and the style..how different are they in terms of SQ? probably uncomparable because um1 is an iem? anyone? =)

erm... i own a a8 and haf tried um1...

my a8 seems to carry more clarity... but e bass sux... itz worse than iM716...

tink it iz partly because a8 is a ear bud tt rest outside the ears...

not sure bout e price of a8 now... um1 is surely alot cheaper...

lk wat aaron said... try it out for urself...

oh ya... a8 iz not v durable... my rt earphones iz gone after lk 3yrs... still at their customer service... haizZ~

well...

ive been using im716 for nearly a mth... got it frm new frm a fellow forummer...

to me, im716 iz juz an avg value for money earphone... i dun tink itz tt special... n sometimes i prefer e sound tt comes frm my B&O earphones... weird rt...

but still... if e price iz rt... i tink it would make a gd entry earphones to e world of IEMs....

anyw... may b testin it olut with an amp n see whether e improvement iz great... or i can juz move up e line to e next IEM mayb next yr... hmmmm....

oh ya... bac to e topic....

DikiDino help us check whther ur fren iz bring in the filters ya!!!!
