Hey, so you two were from the forum also.. the guy with the sony player, tok2mi and the guy wearing the Butterfly shirt (i play tabletennis too), Joi-ful.. haha..
I was the guy with the iPod who told one of you that i preferred the CK-7 over the UM-1.. Well, I just felt that the $50 price difference wasn't worth it.. and i don't have that much money either (think NSF). So i ended up buying the CK-7. Like the salesman (aaron?) said, I felt that the CK-7 was better probably because its my first time listening to IEMs and my ears aren't used to them yet. I guess i'll stick with my CK-7 for quite awhile before upgrading them..
And of course, what a small world.. The other guy with me also has a pair of CK-7s and thats where i found it to be not bad at all.. not that i have alot of experience with head-fi gear.. haha..
