just get this:


but you may have trouble finding an audiologist to take ur impression for the custom mold.

or you can buy my er6 after I tested them

EDIT: btw, sec hand er4 could be had around RM600

it's the reason because u have never used a canalphone (i presume), never auditioned it before, and dont have the chance to do that, it's best to get a sec hand to try it out and you can always sell it back around the price you bought it with minimal lost. but of coz, if u got the moolah....then forget about it...and should just get the UE10pro.

the 4s is the one you should get.
i just cant get myself to buy something like that despite however good deal/great sound it is. it just look too ugly i bet they are gonna launch a new model to replace that pretty soon. the er4 has been in the market for very very very long.

i wonder what happens if you put $10
oh btw, idealsound is discountheadphone....just that discountheadphone is their store name in ebay. idealsound is their general web store name they are even under the same address XD

oh btw, i have a feeling that (based on some reviews) the so called ultra high detail on the er4 is actually the ultra crisp highs...= super bright phone. it is also said that it is quite bassless...got a feeling that it is even brighter than the er6...man...ear piercing ouch!

actually...im gonna let go of my er6 that i received yesterday...if anybody is interested..lemme know.. USD68 + RM12 shipping.

small box? nice....you ever seen the box? they ship by ups worldwide express, usually take 3-4 days to reach asia i belive. it cost USD35 to ship across boarder when I ordered the hd650 from them. if you quote the same box size, weight, yada yada from ups' site...it cost > 100 bucks

it's at least 3-4 times the size. the er6 can be shipped as document, the er4 must be shipped as parcel and they do use larger box with cushion for added protection.

i can make it for you but i dont ahve 70+ohm resistors now

the closest resistor i have now is 100ohm, 1% tolerance. can be hand matched for both channels. That will make the er4 around 130ohm, as oppose to 100ohm of the er4s. shipping back to msia is RM10-12. the adapter...cost around 20usd + shipping if u get it off from someone else in the states though. i dun have any pricing yet since i dont have the resostors for perfect cloning of the adapter

wanna be my supplier?

lemme highlight the important points. it is not possible with vishay dale 1% resistors, panasonic/nichicon/sanyo oscon caps, panasonic pot, printed copper clad board (ugh...not with those universal boards XD), non-free opamps, shipping cost, +*PROFIT MARGIN u know...if you take china stuff into account...it could be even cheaper(with uber generic stuff LOL)...and how much is the grado RA-1? 300+USD retail? LMAO....

EDIT: *added an important point.

why not vishay? is a cmoy too crappy to have quality components in it? I never settle for less

LOL ok. good for you.

forget about the xd200, i have one and it sounds like crap. it's sounds uber muffled, if the grado sr60 could make the px100 sounds like junk, this is probably poo.

you can barely get anything that is listenable with RM100. some cheapo philips perhaps? most of the more accurate sounding phones would cost at least double the price. the grado sr60 should be around RM280 in msia, yeah, it's almost 3 times your budget, but if you ever compare it to the xd200....you will know what I mean by that the xd200 sounds like pooooooooo

I find it hard to enjoy good music when im outdoor. the only way is probably with really good IEM, but they cost alot and the sound quality is often, I belive, worth less than half of what you'd pay for it. I had owned 3 portable phones so far, senn px100, senn pmx60, and ety er6. the er6 cost rm400+ retail, and to me, the overall sound quality doesn't worth more than RM100+. I prefer the px100 over the er6 anytime. the px100 is around rm200 or less, they are good for portable use, and they have the higher-end senn house sound but unfortunately, they sound like crap when you compare them to the grado sr60, which should be around RM100 more than the px100 (still within your budget). the px100 is open, but they don't leak much. I've read comments on people saying that they "leak like hell" and apparently, they havent heard anything that really "leaks like hell" (e.g. senn hd500, 570, grados, and etc)

the px100 or koss ksc75 should be good enough for portable use, and within your price range. they leak, but usually people around you would only be able to hear some "hissing sound", that's all. you can literally hear "lyrics" with the hd570 . unless you intend to spend alot of a good pair of IEM, these should be adequate.

EDIT: wait, I jsut re-read your post and u say u are using the ksc75 @ home? heh....get yourself a pair of grado sr-60 with that budget and bring the ksc75 out.

if you want bass and bass only, then sony ex71 is ur best friend. you can even pimp that you have a canalphone without actually spending hundreds for a real one and dude, it's white(or black)

that's what everybody says initialy. After's they've heard the real deal...this is the usual respones: "holy cr@p! I've been listening to that?" next thing, the ex71 goes into the bin

mail Koss and claim a new one under their lifetime warranty. When asked how it broke, says it just broke suddenly with no apparent reasons

ei, i'm also contemplating getting a ksc75, sicne they are only around rm70. but personally i dun like clip ons, they are really uncomfortable to me. I've never heard of the ksc75, since it is said that the driver is the same as the portapro, the bass should be quite heacy as well, but clip ons have less clamping pressure and i guess it should be tad less than the portapro. I've heard both the portapro and px100(duh i own one ), and I think the bass is pretty overwhelming. but it's a fun phone. When I put on my er4, the detail is sweet, but sometimes....the bass is really a let down...especially with light bass or moderate bass songs....I was always hoping....damnit....where the f is the bass...

edit: wah lau...look at my typos....even got "'s" after "after" LMAO

im quite indifferent between the sound quality. They are quite similar. But I find the portapro very tedius to use, the way the band extend and the silly pressure adjustment switch.
