nice reviews bro! However, you have yet review the Etymotic ER-4p, I have one in pretty new condition, letting it go now, offering RM680 with the converter cable to ER-4s, anyway, nice to include this into your review when U have a chance, this is a real awesome earbud. Ultra accurate.

Hi, I've sold my Ety and I'm getting this. It is called Livewires, a custom IEM, it is gonna be quite a long process. I've just got my ear impressions made and shipped over to the company for them to start making the earphone for me. Once they receive the ear impressions, they will start making one, it will take about a month before I can get them. This product has been claimed to sound towards Ety but with improved bass and high end Grados.



And here are my ear impressions, total of 2 pairs, hearing aid specialist or any audiologist around town can do these stuffs, I did this in a hearing aid specialist in Gleneagles hospital. Not cheap, but reasonable and they did a nice job for me. I've spend RM70 for these stuffs. I had a bad experience and mess from the first audiologist, I was not satisfied and I didn't want to sent those, so, these are my second try actually. Luckily the first one costed me RM20 only. And plus shipping, I've actually spent RM200 just for these impressions!

Whether it is towards which sound signatures, it is just a general guideline, I've not heard Grados frankly, and my ex ety was definitely not Senn sounding. I've sold my Ety, we should have been communicating for a deal .

just got my Livewires, it is awesome, it is definitely one of the best sounding IEM, it is a custom IEM espeically for the price of getting a custom IEM. I can confirm that I wouldn't say it is Ety sounding as many in Head Fi been claiming, maybe the sound signature is in the similar group if I really have to say that. I'm thrilled with it after traded it with my Ety ER-4P, it has lots of quality bass, lots of low end bass and tight mid bass, it is awesome, and it is warmer than the Ety, the high is slightly less than the Ety, I wouldn't say the high is inferior to Ety, only that everything is warmer than the Ety, and I would say it is calmer than the Ety when play in a comfortable volume. When the volume is turn up adventurously loud, I personally scare of turning up too loud as I really scare if it will really hurt my ears and cause hearing loss in long run. Anyway, if turn up louder, it is so powerful with lots of dynamics maybe because it is fed but lots of quality low and mid end bass. In high volume everything is so well control, and I won't feel the "honking" vocal high notes from the Ety. I'm so thrill with it. Custom is the big plus, I can slug it in my ear for many many hours and I don't think I will feel any discomfort at all but my Ety can make my ear very painful after 45mins of use. I luv my Livewires! WOW!
