More of re-org. Sticking to es5 and some entry/mid tier universals. I like to play around with entry/mid tier and find myself appreciating them more.

Over the past few months burning in and listening, i realised i don't really like the sig after all. I did quite like it initially and thought that it was a good complement to my ex-k3003. Over time it just grew out of me. Too much mid bass hump + too laidback treble to balance out the hump makes the overall sound abit drowned out. Timbre is excellent though... the only reason that delayed my decision to sell.

you use it with single flange tips right... i got the mid bass hump using single flange tips too.. this is because the drivers go deeper into the ear canal.. U should try different tips. For me the best tips is the dual flange tips.

i tried with their provided dual flange for awhile only and didn't really notice any/much change such that it made me happy. mainly also the fitting isn't very good. even with the original black tips it's not a superb kind of fit... can't really make much movement else need to keep adjusting... the housing shape abit bueh gum with my ears i guess... the tips being almost all that is in contact with my ears, with the housing sticking out and "floating" instead of resting on the concha or something... so that kinda aggravated the "like" status :D

Agree with the timbre. Whomever said earlier about the 334s lacking timbre need to RMA their set.

Confirm something pai liao.

Still got solid fill shell or not.

If no more solid fill then a bit turn-off.

anyone tried balanced setup with their 334? any difference in sound?

I believe that AnakChan on head fi has commented on this: he has a 000 cable re terminated to be balanced. I am awaiting my balanced Scorpion to arrive and I should be able to comment once it does.

Normally, those that orders during non-sale period receive their ciems within 3 to 6 weeks.
Unless nowadays FitEar also bog down with orders like JH =:p

That's right. I understand there was a surge in orders during the end of the year. Hence the delay.
