QUOTE(chingwooi @ Aug 5 2009, 07:33 PM) No comment on TF10 coz nvr try before, do consider Sennheiser IE8 and Westone UM3X as well, both're quite decent IEMs 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. |

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Aug 5 2009, 10:40 PM) i just made my jump and read tons of reviews but basically to summerise for u 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)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 |

QUOTE(+3kk! @ Aug 5 2009, 11:55 PM) 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 ps: do plan your setup, if you dont mind telling us what equipment youd use it with QUOTE(chingwooi @ Aug 5 2009, 11:57 PM) 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. yup,called DAVIS jz nw,but he says no stock & i hv to order first. but he doesnt do COD so im quite scared to bank in the money. can i trust him? |

QUOTE(chingwooi @ Aug 6 2009, 12:34 AM) 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 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.This post has been edited by x3me: Aug 6 2009, 12:43 AM |
