SE carries the ES7 for $179-189 a piece IIRC.

Hello and welcome to SGHP =)

Firstly, I'll have to emphasize that one should take any review written for IEMs to be taken with a grain of salt. The best way for you to find out which ones you'd like would be to test them at either Stereo Electronics if you're living closer up north, or Jaben Networks over at the Adelphi building if you're living closer to central or south areas. You'd be able to test from a selection of different tips and such as well as different IEM and semi-canal models.

Secondly, know when to stop, you won't want to overspend

Enjoy your stay here

Nov 11th ~6:20pm, someone wearing a pair of Bose Triports in Bugis Junction.

Around 2pm, gentleman alighting from the south bound MRT @ Khatib was wearing what I reckon a black ER6i.

Around 6:03pm @ Yio Chu Kang MRT station, an ang moh wearing a pair of black Super Fi alighted from the train headed to Yishun.

Not bad, 2 IEM sightings in a day out in the public

My new fave in the pre SG$200 category is now the iM716 though, with the SF3 coming in a close 2nd

Personal preference.

CK9 is great... very warm sounding... btw, i have preorder... can't wait to get it...

oops... saw my name... well, after trying out ck7, my im716 mid sounds lay back... i love the warm sound of ck9... i find it warmer than um2, sf5pro. it not as detail as im176 but more than um2 and sf5pro.

you getting it? i'm dieing for it... fit was easy on my ear and it so comfy... but the cable is bad...

Unlikely. If I hadn't an E4, I'd probably be getting it =)

As I previouslymentioned, to me, its a watered down E4 with less details throughout the spectrum, BUT its still an extremely smooth earphone and is apparently very forgiving as well. AT did a good job with the CK9 IMO

Around 5:25pm today, Boon Lay MRT station on the path to Jurong pont, some gentleman wearing the black PX100.

40 Ohms is low, yes =)

My resistor is just a Shure PA235 volume control unit.

At 0 volume cut, its at 0 Hms resistance, and at max, its a 556 Ohm resistor. I measured the L/R channels using a multimeter and brought the value to ~203 Ohms. Aron helped me shield the volume slider using a heatshrink tube

*pokes Aron*

Tell leh

IME, increasing the in-line impedance (not driver impedance, I don't think anyone can do that easily) for armature driver IEMs reduce the overall amount of general bass and brings the treble regions into a more forward presentation, but it cuts the treble in dynamic driver based eargear and may or may not murkify the bass regions in general.

For the armature driver based IEMs tried on my 200 Ohm resistor, I've tried the Aurvana, E4, UM1, ER6i and CK9. The Aurvana benefits very heavily from this, it'll sound like a different beast altogether IMO.

Personally, I like the CK7 a lot, but the CK6 is a different story.

I suggest you try it out first.

IME and IMO, the ER6i and the CK7 sound rather similar.

Its got a slightly different sound sig to the CK7 IMO.

CK7's clinical throughout, the CK9 is slightly warmer, with a smooth high bass to mid-mids transient. The highs seem not as forward though.

All in all, the CK9 feels like a slightly watered down E4 with greater mid-bass presence.

I suggest you give the CK6 a shot first.

My impression of it was that it wasn't... very good at all... Up to the point I'll take stock buds over it anytime.

The sleeve mount for the CK6 is also very unique. Its ovalish in shape.

Just tried it. Getting the correct seal is tricky on my ears, up to the point where its not as aesthetically pleasing as those on the pics.

Overall quite a smooth earphone.

Awesome, going down to test soon =)

I've pretty much given up on reccomending IEMs to people in general, since their performance varies from one person to another, since they're highly dependant on the shape of your ear canal.

The best way for you to know is to find out

Between UM1, 6i, yes, SF3 and E2 use their own tips that are not interchangeable between all 4 of themselves.

Xian, you tried the CK6 or CK9? o_O;;

This is one AT I'm looking forward to. The black one looks nice

Its overall more aesthetically pleasing as compared to the E4 as well. If the SQ surpasses the CK7 in my books, this'll be good to give a shot or even get. Hopefully it'll come into SG soon

As of now, Flash memory is still more expensive than HDD based memory.

I'd pick flash anyday over HDD though, less worry of moving parts.

Happy birthday bro

that is one piece of sad new.. mayb time to upgrade from sf3 to um2.. coz have to blast my music to cover the background..

Why not just use the UE SF Universal fit series Double Sleeved Flange? Its got pretty good isolation IMHO.

Lowest score setting: 0m

High score setting as of now 11619.46m

I lost my old 17000+m record screenshot

This is very fun, but according to my friend, relatively evil XD
