Re: new headphones

Damn I just got ear moulds done to make custom remoulds for my Westone UM2s but found out the quality and the tuning of the custom remoulds aren't great.

Re: new headphones

Really? All I hear about custom molds is how great they are.. I wan to try them someday, but still a bit pricey. 1964 ears have some good ones,,
I am pretty happy with the isolation on the SM3v2 .. i use shure olive foam and it works quite well

shure

Like a glove for me. Been using them so long that I think my ears have moulded to their shape

^ nice

Re: new headphones

Very nice indeed.. I almost got the Sennheiser IE8, but after days of research,the SM3v2 was a better fit for me. I am impressed with the isolation they provide, amazing.. it is just you, and your music..

Sennheiser are great btw.. I've had an older model for almost 5 years now, still working without any issues.

I think the sound issues and material quality has more to do with the ones made in China. I'm sure there's no problems if I sent my moulds to Westone.

I tried the Shure olives but stuck to a bi-flange tip for my UM2.

Now playing with the idea of getting new IEMs.

Re: new headphones

had hd25's for over 12 years now and also bought hd650's buying a headphone amp for them but still considering a switch, ten years ago sennheisers were considered un matchable but in todays world there are so many that either match or are better for the same price

Re: new headphones

Sennheiser are good, but the IE8 seems to have some isolation problems, and that was one of the main reason for me not to buy them.. the sm3v2 have a very precise fit and the isolation is one of the best

I had those, until someone sat on them and one of the speakers broke off... the sound is good, but no where near as good as a hi-end IEM..

here is the sm3v2 next to my old RE0.. the RE0 actually sound great, the only downside is that they need an amp to really shine, the sm3v2 doesn't

Re: new headphones

Have you tried other IEMs before besides the REO?
