  1. Hey guys, are there any side effects from using IEMs? I used to dislike IEMs due to some discomfort after long use. So I considered getting closed-cans for a while. But now, after wearing Sony-Ericsson In-ears for about a month, I feel comfortable using the phones for about an hour.

     

    But I have other concerns too. Do IEMs cause more internal ear damage than closed-cans? Like permanent hearing loss or some kind of injury? I am comparing with closed-back headphones here because I know just listening to music for long periods of time can cause some kind hearing damage. And I am not comparing with open-back or earbuds as I use them outside. I usually listen to music at about mid-volume of a player so I do not turn the music too loud.

     

    Another concern is that IEMs usually have messy cables when keeping them in a sling bag. I heard coiling cables are bad so it results in messy cables after. Any solution for this?

     

    Just in case you are wondering, I might get a M3 with bi-flanges to upgrade my SE ones and maybe get a Creative Zen.

     

    I wore in-ear canal since poly times, almost 10 years , and I just pass my hearing test (job requirement)

     

    cables I loop 2 big rounds, put it inside a empty pocket


  2. that is some great diy job!

    how did you solder the connectors? did you salvage the connectors and solder the wires directly to the pins?

    i am asking because some people just solder the new wires onto the stock cable right below the connectors, not getting the best result of recabling.

     

    there are connectors for sale on the net... check out headfi
