Re: new headphones

^yes (well after the Re0), Shure 535 and Um3x from Westone. The um3x were way too analytical for me, can't enjoy my music..i kept trying to analyze what I was hearing, they are very good tho. The shure.. something was lacking, I can't explain what, but the sm3v2 sound much better to my ears and my brain I guess. Before the RE0 I had shure e3c, the cable broke

Re: new headphones

Hmm interesting, I'm surprised the UM3x is more analytical. Is the SM3 good for EDM? Have you heard the Westone 3? I heard they're quite fun IEMs, good with bass.

I'm thinking of getting the Westone 3, a friend suggested I check out the SM3 too but he's unsure as well.

Re: new headphones

It took me a while to decide which ones to go with, specifically for that reason.. I listen mostly to EDM, but not all the time.. so I needed something that isn't good just for that. The SM3v2 seem to be pretty good across the sound range, which is what I was looking for.. I can go from 2Pac, to Dexter Gordon, to Nick's Balance 018, and then bring some Tool into the mix.. and they all sound amazing. But you should test them first.. they are not cheap, so you have to make sure. I've heard very good things about the Westone 3, but if you want bass the IE8 is the one it seems..but isolation with them isn't very good. The sm3v2 just came out btw .. they look and fit differently compared to the old sm3

Right now I am listening to Saiz's Balance 19 Cd1 and I am at "Lady in the Mirror" (track 8 i think)... the bass on the SM3V2 is a joy

Re: new headphones

^yes, great choice.. ! Those sony hybrid tips are one of the best on the market, I had them on my RE0, but for some reason they don't work for me, my ears like shure foam it seems.

Re: new headphones

Now that I've started this new 'hunt' I'm considering the Westone 3, UM3X or the 1964-T or 1964-Q

If you have the money,. 1964-Q is your best bet

Re: new headphones

Funny you mention that, I've settled on the 1964-Q

My UM2 lasted me 6 years, I'm expecting similar mileage out of the 1964s so the quad driver upgrade will be worth it!

Re: new headphones

^nice! i would love to hear what you think once you get to listen to them for a while.. they should be better than you old UM2 I am very happy with the SM3v2 ..they are kind of addictive. I would recommend them to anyone who listens to EDM without thinking too much about it

Re: new headphones

Came back from the gym to find my 1964 earphones waiting! Checking out Balance 19 with them now

Re: new headphones

I got sennheiser hd 25 and ie 6. Once you got sennheiser is a almost imposible to get back

Ordered a set of ie6 phones the other day as my Klipsch S4 set died on one side - hoping they are good

My new earphones

Congrats man! Those must be amazing.. I was considering the tripe driver, but they were still out of my price range..

Re: new headphones

I recommend skipping the triple and save up for the quad Sounds amazing: Mids and highs more forward but balanced by the full bodied bass. Separation is really good, good sense of space.

Re: new headphones

got some really good customized Grado's for home use now semi in the market for some good IEM's for transit/cubicle life.. 1964 is looking good. just do not think i can justify the 200% price point over standard Westones but they are tempting... very tempting.

quad drivers seem to produce too much bass for my liking so its either 6 drivers or 3.
