Hey all...so right now I use Ultimate Ears Super fi 3's and I just bought a set of Super fi 5's with the dual drivers. still waiting for them to show in the mail.

but I'd love to know how the E4c or E4g stacks up agenst the UE's
I keep saving ebay auctions waiting for a good deal on the Shures

I've been making different earplug gasketts for my UE's using shrinktube to make the connection tube and then fitting an industrial foam ear plug over the shrink tube. they all seem to work well, but the foam plug needs replacement every day or two as it looses it's firmness...it needs tobe tight to transfer the base well. I'm hoping the Super fi5's with their bass driver dosn't need to be so tight to get the bass kick in deep

egads, are earbuds like minidiscs ?? I feel a collection starting !!

well, I guess nobody here has tried bolth yet ?

oh well. I got my Super fi 5's today and man, they do bomb the bass deeper at higher volume levels than the 3's do. I'd thought some of my recording had been distorted by too high of recording levels but it seems I'd maxed out the bass capabilities of the Super Fi3's rolleyes.gif

I got these used for $125.oo and I'd say that's about as low as I've seen on ebay. I'm happy with them. I'd say this is about as high end as I need to go in the relm of headphones.

I picked up a pair of Sennheiser PX-10's just to have for the train , and I ended up wearing them all day ( actually the wife and kid were kinda upset , ....I was wearing them at the dinner table , ohmy.gif , Sting " Ten Summoners Tales" )

I am really suprised at these things , for just over 20 bucks , they are dimensional , (Piano , actually sounds like a piano , not a Box with strings in it )
