i stay at bedok. 4 mins walk to bedok inter, talk bus 168, around 55~1hr to reach causeway point.
on the way back is a good time to test for noise isolation outside lol

fyi, jaben do not take time off to burn in their iems
stereo's demo set has at least 400 hrs of burn in, methods of burn in not known thou.
reliable source.

tushar310: u from jaben rite ? recognise me ?

well by username i cannot tell ...i am known as Nocturnal310 on jaben forums

how about u?

Another IE 7 user.

Here's mine.

You compare Sennheiser HD555 with IE7 before? Somehow while HD555 sounds fuller and better sound staging, it seems to be not so neutral and add "some colourings" to the music. IE7sounds so natural and detailed that I can hear serious recording flaws for those compressed music (128 bits). In the end, I have to re-rip all my music to loseless formats.

I lend my IE7 to my colleague to listen, and he refused to return me until a few hours later.

I cannot get enough of IE7...they are really amazing.....perfect bass...smooth mids and sparkly highs.

well i sold off my HD555 long before IE7 so cant do fair comparison but HD555 had a dry sound which was good for male vocals and various other music but not for Rock & Trance....the bass was layered but didnt go very low.

HD555 is a great headphone for entry into audiophile world..but soon u realize u can get better headphones also ..its a transitionary headphone.

eBay sells Bose in-ear earphones for approx $70SGD incl. shipping

i've never heard them before so i can't comment on the sound quality but it might be a good alternative to those looking to get relatively cheap and good earphones.

[daniel1703]

don't bother with bose triports. They're overrated. I've a friend who owns them and she says that they don't even sound as good as CX300.

Hi, anyone used Cresyn LMX-E630 AL before?

My pair died and I'm looking for earphones which are as Good as the Cresyns but with better fit.

Budget is $50. Recommendations guys?

phonak audeo?
If you do visit head-fi they're extremely, perhaps the most value-for-money earphones around. They may lack bass quantity but can be covered up with the use of an amp.

i have the q-jays.
the bass isn't for bass head.
the soundstage of the q-jays is small, creating a very close-to-you sound for all music
380SGD.
