Holy [put your favorite expletive here]! You must be really itching to get hold of that IEM! If you don't mind bro, how much was the damage to your wallet?  ::)

Congrats bro on your latest buy! Hmmm...mukhang nakikinita ko nang may Westone 2 na mapapadpad sa FS section...  ;D

Update: I just tried all types of music genre on my illegal music collection. ;)

From Led, Sinatra, John Mayer, Jack J, Nils Lofgren, Rodrigo y gabriela, gipsy kings, santana, aerosmith, porcupine tree, muse, massive attack, some classical also. Now on Beyonce and Gaga. lol. Next up DMB.

This thing is just smooth. I really can't believe how great it handles the bass. Punchy but never losing detail. Imaging and detail is very similar to the um3x. The mids are not recessed like most of my iems. The treble has energy, not its greatest strength, but not weak also. It feels more real, and true. Just what I expect from the music I feed them with. Soundstage is very decent (not really good in determining this). So far, its more than worth the money. I'm using comply tips from my westone 2.

This are somewhat large compared to the westone 2. Sometimes it gets irritating when worn, but that's depending on the tip I used. The stock double flange tips offer very good sound, but my ear hurts right away when I use that. Switching to tips from the westone 2, used the silicon single flange, and the fit is perfect. But the sound gets a little muffled because of the small opening of the tip. Now switched to the complys, and everything fell into place both comfort wise and sound wise. The treble gets better and the bass is not as strong just like I want it. My only gripe really is the y-splitter which is very short. I feel so tight when I wear them over the ear, under the chin. Good thing that I prefer wearing iems over the ear, behind the neck. :)

Guys, this is just incredible. Listening to dave matthews and tim reynolds, the instrument separation is absolutely flawless. I could hear one guitar on the right ear, the other one on the left ear, with dave's voice right smack in the middle through a microphone in a big hall. I could literally like picture myself watching the concert. Imaging is just exceptional, and the soundstage BIG. ;)

Thanks guys. You should hear them too. lol. I got this from the back-to-school sale of soundearphones care of leo of course. So it's not that big of a damage. But come to think about it now, it's more worth than it really should be right now. This is all in my opinion of course. I'm just in love with this so much right now, that my ears are hurting. :(

I demoed Leo's IE8 through his sony x, bass knob at lowest setting I think earlier. It's also very good, especially with rock/alternative music. The bass is not as overpowering anymore. Unlike before when I first heard the IE8s, maybe shok has them at the highest bass setting, tama ba? Anyway, hopefully I could join you guys. Need to audition racio's toucans again with the HD600. hehe. :)
