is there anyone else with this similar problem? that it's not always that i can get the optimal seal every time. i'm wondering if it's due to temperature difference which causes expansion/contraction on the ears/sleeves. :s11:

wonder if getting UE flanges will solve this.

EP630 type of bass of CK7? Aye, different story larz.

CK7's bass is very fast, punchy and clear, goes something like 'THWACK', and is never boomy.

EP630's bass is 'KATHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!'

...

I think you get the idea.

Hmm, depends on what you're looking for. Barely any of the higher end IEMs have the bass quantity of the EP630, save perhaps the UE SF5EB

Hmm does anyone know where else to get the Audio Technica ATH-CK7s besides Stereo Electronics cause I live really far away from the Causeway area. Heard that Hung Bros at SLS sells it but does anyone know if they have the stock? Can't seem to contact the shop. How about HMV Hereen.. Oh and the price is around $120 and not $160 right? Anyone know? Thanks in advance! :)

Combined my Cresyn E630 with Creative EP630's S size ear bud... Conclusion: PERFECT!

85% of EP630's bass but with great clarity!

Hey, thanks but i've gotten my earphones already.

Pretty satisfied with it. Quality's superb and as the reviews say. But one thing tho is the microphonics. It's pretty irritating but i guess i've just gotta get used to it..

Anyway I was down at Jaben testing out the earphones.. Tried almost all, the UM1, UM2, Ultimate Ears, etc etc. BUT they all sound like some cheap radio earphones. I think afbug did mention that in one his reviews that if you dont know how to wear it properly that'll be the result. So how on earth do you wear it properly? Especially when youre like there to test, you wont really know which ear piece would fit you and all. And the worst part is that you'll never know whether youre really wearing it properly or not because only you yourself can hear the sound it's producing. Anyone have suggestions to that?

and the uncle at Jaben is really friendly. Haha if there the gems things there i'd give him a 11/10 for service. Yeah doubt you'll be able to find such service anywhere else. :)

That is a Incase for Shuffle. Got prints. Avaliable at applesg online store. Comes in a pack of 5. Sell those you don't want? I bought mine from a female who took all the girly colours, so just nice, I take black and blue. :)

thanks :)

The ipod button prints ruin it all. I bought a cheapo $2 sock instead =:p

btw, u might want to update your E888 review.

Sony is still producing them. Saw a Made In China E888 (labelled yr 2006) at Sony Gallery Bugis today.

E888LP is in production. SP version is rare and MP version phased out already. :o Still got label 06? lol. Ok thanks for the update. Will do a overhaul one of these days.
