  5. sorry for being a wet blanket, but digital life also raves about Bose products . personally i would usually take their reviews with a pinch of salt on the matters of audio, because they aren't exactly audiophiles, they deal with tech stuff on the whole.
  6. since you're gna use a dac, i presume you'll always be using with a laptop? (or any source like cdp etc. that can be used with a dac, lah) so anyway, usually dac/amp combo wont sound as good as a single unit amp + single unit dac combo, and then again a portable dac like the udac wont sound as good as a desktop one. so i suggest you think about whether u need the portability first.
  7. usually its 250 with warranty. So without warranty i would expect around 230 and under. Though my estimation usually ain't accurate
  8. Haha, i'm happily using my westone 3, will custom it only after warranty is over. So basically i havent done impressions before. I do know that if you order um56 frm jaben, they'll do the impressions for u for free. As for other places that does impressions, they would generally be the audiologists. But im not to sure where to go to. Heh. Time for other seniors to come in.
  9. Actually i think they're similar to the Westone UM56, which would be available in SG. Though i don't know if they fit the Jays. In fact a few other companies do this too, ACS comes to mind. But right now, are you already happy with the sound of Jays? Because this can be a good time to upgrade, especially if you've had your Jays for a long time already.
  10. heh, +1 on that. With about 350-450 you could get a 2nd hand top tier universal that is in good condition or if you're lucky, brand new. From there, you can choose to spend another 300 to 400 on it to customise and add an extra driver. So for example, tf10 could be bought at about 300 on the market, then u can spend 400+ to customise and add a fourth driver. The result is something similar to ue11, which costs nearly twice as much. And anyway the customization can be done later when you're ready. Generally i wont recommend you to buy the top tier universals in shops. I find the mark up extremely high. Usually at least a mark up of 150. But perhaps the deal will be more secure if you need it.
  11. hmm right now if you wanna customise universal IEMS, there's UE, Westone, Etymotics, do ask stereo though. im not fully sure. anyway if you just wna go straight for customs, UE, Livewires, Westone, ACS, Sleek, JH are some that come to mind, though with 500 it would probably be one of the more basic ones. IIRC, about 600-700 can get u the livewire trips, which is a triple amature driver custom. actually when flying, i would personally prefer to not wear anything during take off and landing, because i feel that the sound pressure adds to the pressure difference when landing/taking off. For myself, i use westone 3 with either the medium single flang tips from shure, or the dual flanges from etymotics. these usually fit for quite some time. i've even worn them for an afternoon nap for about 4-5 hours and they still fit quite snugly when i woke up. anyway if you fly frequently i think its better to look at iems as your option over headphones, as the over ear kind of headphones tend to be very bulky.
  12. sure, hm im not sure if the anc7 has fit problems, but i know es7 and esw9 do. They tend to be too tight. but after some wearing out they become much more comfortable, like the esw9 i used to own, it became extremely comfortable and snug. anyway the tight headband is not an uncommon problem. i believe manufacturers tend to make it tighter so that it will fit more heads. btw, iems are quite comfortable with the right tips. and, if you have the budget, spring for the customs. These, i believe, can provide more comfort and noise isolation than any cans or universal iems out there. so maybe you wanna state your budget? heh.
  13. Eh bro, when they 'press on your ear', its meant to do so. Not that ur ears are too large. These kinda cans are called supra aural if i rem correctly. What you are looking for to cover your ear entirely would be over the ear kinds. And generally there aren't any portable headphones that are like that, not even those the guys above mentioned, because over ear ones are larger. So you would be looking for cans for home use to bring out. Some cans that come to mind: A700, A900, SRH440/840, W1000. If i remember correctly the pro700 and m50 frm AT might be over the ears. These should be more portable.
  14. Why not think of them as 'freebies' given to you for buying the amp? sometimes having that extra thing doesnt mean you must use it anyway. and what if you have a need for it in future?
