If you like bass please try to auditioned Denon AH-C710, because from my audition Denon has more powerful bass than IE8

I'm not really into bassy IEMs. The bass on my SM3 are sometimes even too much for me. But I have not listened to them for awhile now. Wonder why that is. ;)

i think it has something to do with the number "13"? :)
it is not about the "cost" of the rig, but on how you "value" it.

I wish I had a top tier IEM T_T

The problem here in Manila is there's limited option of good IEM and the price is way too high...

The main reason why I chose that IEM is because of the number 13. It's my lucky number.

Top tier IEMs by Philips are actually quite good.

Try out the one boss Ken (kenrs1) is selling. Only for 2.5k FTW!

I haven't heard other top tier iems but I'd have to agree on how good the highs of the tf10 are. Unfotunately, I'd also agree with how hard the tf10 is to fit. I'm getting headaches trying to wear this thing.

Looks like my ears are universal for any iem :D but it gets annoying sometimes so I switched to the Flip flop method. It's really something when it comes to the seal, and it makes the bass come out
If it looks bad CF it, If it sounds bad DENKO it!
