i m new in audiophile... but not really new on buying stuff.... hahahaha... since i dun have anymore things to buy...  but to tell u the truth.. ive been asking myself the same question too... "why the hell m i paying so much a the little thingies in my ears?" same kinda questions have been asked when i bought my camera gears... "why do i need a 20k kit when i m not even earning 1 sen from it?" hahahha... i guess u manage to cool down my iitchiness...for a while... if only more ppl like u...instead of poisoning ppl...

That why, relax and do not rushing... Patience is a good cure for brain poisoning. and also , can helps you avoid the unseen problem.  Agree, why do we have to spent thousands of RM, just to fulfill our desire? A RM 50 ticket to a good concert is more meaningful from RM 5000 audio cables. Think wisely....

Actually imho, custom not really comfortable. Like UM2, there just too many contact surface between ears and IEM. with custom, u expect full contact. And yeah, sticking RM4K into ears doesnt make sense
