No comment on TF10 coz nvr try before, do consider Sennheiser IE8 and Westone UM3X as well, both're quite decent IEMs smile.gif

yup,i've been reading reviews bout those 2 as well. can't make any decision, the price is also almost the same. so i'm wandering here if anyone knows which one is better. im using it 4 watching movies,music (r&b rap rock) and a bit of gaming.

Haha, watching movie with IE8, that's what I've been doing all the time xD The IE8 fits the criteria you mentioned above smile.gif Yet it's still better that you get a full size can for that.

alr8. thx for the help! lol. will definitely give it a try. oh yeah, it doesn't really need portable amp r8? where did u buy yours?

i just made my jump and read tons of reviews but basically to summerise for u

ive heard UE's are b****y on fit and its isolation demanding so you might need to think about getting sleeves.

if you like bassy music, rap and r&B related get the IE8 no question its a bass heavy headphone. the UE are treble lovin

then again ive not heard an UE, but my IE kinda makes sweet child of mine or 5th carpice a bit muddy
*
ic,i also read somewhere tht getting the r8 fit for UE is a problem. so probably im getting IE8 since a lot of u guys are into it. do u knw where i can get it? n is it worth the hefty price tag (for sum1 like me lol)

if you like bass its IE8 no question, however what we like aint the right one for u. lurk more and you'd get people lovin UE's or shures

walabies do sell them but rather expensive, jaben singapore is one very good place to source them out. do mention about taxes and so on tho, while i think jaben do have experience bypassing the stupid system its no harm asking. also IE8's pop up time to time in garage sales, last time one guy was selling his IE8 for 850 you might still be able to get it.

i got mine in AU while a lot cheaper then msia the taxes might kill you lol. other forumers might help.

as for worth it? theres a few schools of thought to it, personally i dont think it is but thats not because its the fault of the IE8. IEM's are made with portability first then sound thus for the most part a headphone sounds better, however for casual use id say an IEM is more practical due to its portability and isolation. again it depends on the person..

or you can go out like all the audio loons and buy multiple expensive headphones biggrin.gif
ps: do plan your setup, if you dont mind telling us what equipment youd use it with

thx for the help guys.. both of u hv been really helpful. i've been having 2nd thoughts but nw i've made up my mind & definitely getting IE8's. im using it probably with my macbook & iphone. not planning on getting amps tho, lol.

Haha, nvr deal with him before but based on his previous sale, quite a trustworthy seller. He also got the safe trader tag, so should be alright xD BTW I thought he does COD in KL? And yea IE8 definitely will be gd enough on ya iPhone, urs is 2G or 3G? Oh ya, MacBook built-in soundcard is bad, very bad, sux to be more precise tongue.gif
*
okie,thx. will try to contact him again. 2G. lol,totally agree on that. u dun have problems so far with ur IE8 r8? fitting problems etc... n do u use other tips?

iPhone 2G I dunno whether you can plug in directly and use it or not coz the 3.5mm jack is sunken. I've nvr hv any prob with fitting issues so far with all my IEMs, the largest ear tips always fit in jus nice tongue.gif My ear are generous I guess ^^
*
i tink i knw wat u mean. i jz checked apple store,they're selling IE8's also. they say its compatible with the iphone and iphone 3g,so i tink it shud be ok. but just in case,i'll try to google and double check.

Er, tenggelam, haha. Meaning the 3.5mm plug is curving inside. Last time when I tried the Shure E2G on my fren's iPhone 2G, it work on coz the 3.5mm jack of the Shure is not straight, same goes to IE8, they're bend at 90 degree xD
*
so it shud be ok r8?

Let's wait for someone who has iPhone 2G and Ie8 to comment on it xD Or you can try googling around tongue.gif The worst is you hv to buy an extension 3.5 mm interconnector for it.

u take the UE size comply tips normally can fit on ur IE8 .

alr8. then i'll check with walabies see if he has the UE ones. thx 4 d info.



QUOTE(moniqee @ Sep 2 2009, 03:52 PM)
yep i got the comply tips... well it's RM15 per pair... but at least u dun hv to worry about the size since bijou tips got s,M,l and xl i believe...

i like comply tips but it's a BIG hassle of keeping them clean... mine last like a week before they turn dark grey yellowish... >.< it's very comfy wearing it... but still imagine RM15 per pair which cant last very long... it's a big pain to my purse lar...
*
ic.. lol. where did u get them? well if ur free mayb i'll come & try urs,if its ok with u la. i jz wan to make sure b4 i order from wala. later if it doesnt fit have to send to him again. lol.
