Suddenly so many people into IEMs lately.. If only I had so much info last time when I wanted to buy..
BTW afbug u got the supermacro already? I remember u mentioned b4 u wanna get it?
When are you going to organise a "Portable Media Player SIG Meetup"? Then we can all bring our gadgets down to have fun!
Well that time when i got the UM1 and ER6i, also bought blindly. Esp its UM1's new design. Now more ppl own IEMs in SG, so naturally more info i guess. Plus of cause without your suggestion, this thread will not be around.
I've changed my plans. I'm not going protable with amps, so i think a desktop amp will be better. Not likely to get SM3 unless feeling rich which is always very rare. lol
Meet up? And we go fevernova house. lol. I dun want to organise la. Lazy. Someone organise and if i can make it, i'll be there.

afbug1, so what does the er4 sound like compared to um2? any "short" comparisons?
ER4P Vs UM2 is like ER6i Vs UM1. Different flavour.
ER4P sound like a soup up version of the ER6i, same sound signature. It does have strong bass but cannot match UM2's impact and slam. But the ER4P is more revealing than the UM2 at lower volumes. UM2 performs at higher vol. As for treble, its slightly better than UM2 only, in a sense that its bass dun overwhelm. UM2's treble can reach higher. ER4P can handle most types of music IMHO. But for rap, i think it cannot make it. Dun have the type of 'vibration bass'. For dance music, its good. It got the deep thumping bass. So it does kick bass drums better than bass guitars i guess.
There are a few types of preferences. One is the basshead where only the SFEB and DT770 can please him. 2nd at the other extreme end, only brighter sounds like Grado, ER4P/S etc pleases him. And lastly the general ones where almost any thing goes. Not vey healthy for his wallet. lol. A different can for different mood.
So for the basshead, at least a UM2. 2nd type, treble siao will like the ER4S and lastly, its where i am and some ppl are, anything goes like the UM2, ER4P etc. Able to adapt to different sounds. So what i'm trying to say is that the ER4P will compliment the UM2. I dun think its better or worse. If i have to choose, its the UM2.
Preview pictures!
