I got a reply from Uncle Wilson and here are the prices for the IEMs i've listed. 1) W3 : $599 2) UE TF10 : $649 3) IE8: $599 4) SE530: $649 5) Livewire Duals : $488 6) Livewire Triples :$688 Of all, the Livewires seem to be the best option. I've yet to get a reply from Stereo. Will call them later I guess. One question, which Livewires should I go for if I'm looking for thumping bass? I read that the Duals are the better choice for bassheads. Am I correct? Anyone here has duals and would like to share their experience?

Can can but the bus is roughly the same price as flying with Tiger Airways. And besides that I am planning to come down straight after work so I can't be travelling 6 hours down (lets say I leave at 8pm), fall asleep in the bus (tired from work), and when I reach Singapore (2am), I can't sleep because I already slept added to the fact that adrenaline will be pumping through my body because I will also be super excited. That's like jetlag wei! I mean BUSLAG! LOL. Quite easy to find ma. Got MRT rite? Goes everywhere rite? It also goes to most shopping malls rite? Both Jaben and Stereo are in malls rite? (Sorry, too many questions ) The other alternative is I can ask my relatives who lives there and I'm hoping they can show me where Jaben/Stereo is using a compas. Once I get the direction, I'll just walk! LOL. Oh yah wor! But does Jaben/Stereo accept CC for IEM purchases? How about custom IEMs? Actually I was meaning to ask these questions instead

Thanks! If the shops accept credit card then no problem la. I can come and buy straight. I am trying to book a flight down on the 18th - 20th Dec. Looking for the cheapest airline now! About the list, there are so many IEMs there! Crazy!

Ooo. I would love to come down on Dec 19. I would also want to audition some universals and customs when I come down but then I won't have enough $$$ by December 19. I'll see what I can do. Does Jaben or Stereo accept Malaysian Visa or Mastercard?

Whoa! Those customs look really really good!! I will be auditioning my listed IEMs. But I think my priority is getting a custom as you said. I don't want an amp if I can because it will be bulky. As of now with the E5 also my wires tangle like mad. So it's gonna be my iPod + universals or customs. The CT6 looks wicked and the glow in the dark is just too crazy! There's a CT9 too? Whats the diff? Wash my earwax off? They spray water into my ears rite? Then straight away go for the impressions? Hmm... That actually makes a lot of sense. Entering the world of IEMs is crazy as it is and now I'm entering the world of customs! Thanks for your opinion! Btw, can I demo some custom units too? I mean there should be "universal" molds for demo rite?

I read that customs usually require refits so since I'm from Malaysia, I would definitely have to come down to audition/order them, come back to get them and test them and if they don't fit, I would have to resend them back rite? I initially added them but then some people said it lacks bass, some said it's ok, some said it's good. So just to avoid that again, I decided to remove them la, but don't worry, I'll audition them too when I come down. I will definitely audition them. This thread is mainly for discussion so I can research what I missed out (if any). I like your impressions on the TF10. However, I want to know how badly it sticks out from your ear? For a universal IEM, I must say they look really really good apart from the sticking out part!

Even compared to the customs I've listed down? Whoa!

Hi, I need some advice/ideas from you guys. I am currently shortlisting some IEMs to be purchased by the end of the year. The maximum budget for the phones is SGD820. (WOW that's quite a lot! ) I really like bass and listen to LOADS of rock music and for me, the guitars are the most important (esp. the guitar riffs) but I also want to hear the drums and bass guitars (read: headbanging quality). Not so much a fan of vocals so I might want a more musical IEM. I would really want the sound to be bassy, crisp, clear and most importantly IMPACTFUL! (read: brain/ear orgasm ) I have been doing tonnes of research and all that did was make me more confused and spoilt for choice. So I think the best way of judging/deciding on an IEM is to get feedback from users since I don't think I will get the chance to audition all my listed IEMs until December when I come down to Singapore. Bear in mind that the "only" genre I listen to is ROCK be it heavy metal, trash metal, nu-metal, punk rock, alternative rock, post-grunge, progressive rock or avant-garde metal. So far, I have decided to either go with either high-end universals or low-end customs. Here are my options: 1) Westone 3 2) Sennheiser IE8 3) UE Triple.Fi 10 Pro 4) JH-5 Pro 5) UE 4 Pro 6) Alien Ears C-3 7) Livewires Duals or Triples 8) Sleek Audio CT-6 For my budget, I should be able to get any one of these IEMs but as usual, I want the most suitable IEM for my musical preference. Therefore, any of you guys own them? If you do, please let me know how it sounds with respect to my musical preference. I would really appreciate your help. I will definitely come down to Singapore to audition the universals and the demo versions of the customs in December. Also, I am open to suggestions if I've missed out any other good alternatives. Thanks and Cheers! p/s: I am currently using some crappy Razer Moray IEMs because I was stupid enough to believe CNET and some jacko at Machines! Source: iPod Touch 3G Amp: Fiio E5 IEM: Razer Moray
