Am currently looking for a CIEM right now.
Preferably something that sounds like a UE-900 or Shure se-535/se-846.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Actually what I would ask you is why do you want a CIEM? Does a universal IEM not satisfy your needs? Is the sound signature of a universal not to your liking? Or simply you just want to try something new.
Coz knowing such things can save you alot of money. Coz CIEMs have very high depreciation rate and if u dont mind the fit and sound signature of the UE900 might as well just hoot the UE900 which is cheaper instead of spending your money on a CIEM.
Your budget & genre preference?

You are looking for something with lush mids and good extensions on high and lows? Slightly warm?
What's the budget?
Go to the coming Mook and try all the ciems there and decide yourself.Budget isn't really a factor, i'm looking more towards something that really wows me and can last me for a long time (don't think i'll be upgrading any more after this one)
sounds just about right!
kind of listen to a little of everything from metal and rock, to classical, to jazz, blues, pop, electronic etc
what are the advantages of customs over universals?
i have never tried them so I don't really know how different it is from universals.
Custom - Bette fit and isolation but hard to sell so prepare to use it for life.............................
Universal - Fit wise not so good but much easier to sell if there is a demand there.

Adding on in theory ciem will sound way better than their demo versions which are in universal form.
Your take on the matter is like saying that if I became a property agent ill make more money.
This is a very flawed theory. I can also say that once the CIEM is made to custom, the sound signature has changed that I dont like it.
I think there are more disadvantages than advantages. LOL Unless you cash rich pay for rush order. a typical ciem order can take 2 months.
After a long, and sometimes angry wait, the ciem might come with poor fitting. and the shiit goes again. redo ear impression, shipping, waiting, more du lan emails will be exchanged.
The only advantage i find is the noise isolation. when you're taking the mrt or walking on the streets you don't really hear much noise. that is something universal cannot achieve even with comply foam tips.
As for sound quality.. snake oil la. it might sound better than universal fit but there is no 2X or 3X jump. haha don't flame me prist. This is my personal view from listening to my Senn HD800 and my Quad driver ciem.
