How does the UE4 differ from the UERM in terms of sound?
Considering getting one of the two. I've heard that the UERM is the CIEM equivalent of the ER4S but I've also heard that the UE4 gets very close. What are the differences between the two?- abbztract

JH13 compared to UERM
By the sounds of it, you want the UERM. Not as thin on bass as the ER4S while not being as warm or exaggeratedly bassy as the JH13. The JH13 to me was quite a letdown and especially so in comparison to the ER4S. UERM is definitely the way you want to go.- abbztract

JH Audio Sirens Series Roxanne Impressions Thread
Hey guys. Is there anyone here that has had the JH13 FP or ER4S and can compare either to the Roxannes for me? I'm after a CIEM equivalent of the ER4S and have been recommended the JH13 and the UERM but was wondering whether the Roxanne would fit the bill if set to its lowest bass level.- abbztract

Reply to review by 'abbztract' on item 'Jerry Harvey Audio Sirens Series Roxanne Universal IEM'
How do these compare to the JH13 FP or the ER4S? I'm looking at getting a CIEM-equivalent of the ER4S and the JH13 and UERM seem to be the most recommended. Does the Roxanne come close to being a ER4S or is it just not for role?- abbztract

My Heir Audio 5.0 sounds less clear compared to my IE80s. What can I get that is clearer and more neutral?
As tempting as it is, I actually am considering getting my not-yet-reshelled used UM Mage reshelled and upgraded to a 6 driver custom for $449. Thoughts?- abbztract

my iPhone 5 was the source for both playing 320kbps and ALAC files. Regardless of what the source is though, the Heirs sounded muddier in the sense that unlike with the IE80s, the transition from the bass to the mids is smudged on the Heirs.- abbztract

Reshelling my UM Mage. Worth spending $400 to upgrade to 6 drivers?
Righty. Reshelling at UM costs $250. Is it worth spending another $150 to upgrade it to a 6 driver set? Also, any idea whether UM would be willing to take my UM + $400 to give me a higher tier IEM?- abbztract

Good IEM for less than 100
You can find the Dubu DN1000 in the classified for around there. There's also the Brainwavz R1 that costs $45 on mp4nation that I highly recommend. Fantastic sound for a price like that.- abbztract

How much difference is there between the Rooth LS4 and the UM Mage in terms of sound? Is the Rooth worth getting it I have the Mage?
Tom, your are a legend. Now if you don't mind me asking you one last question, what would you recommend between the new Dunu DN2000 and $100 or the Rooth LS4 in exchange for my Heir Audio 5.0s? I've heard that the Dunu sounds like a tad more bassy Westone 4 (which I have never heard but want...- abbztract

Selling my Heir Audio IEMs and have been offered the LS4 as a trade option. I already have the UM Mage and am not sure how much different the LS4 is. Is there any major difference between the two? Is it worth getting the Rooth?- abbztract

Had my IE80s for a while. Love the sound. Got myself the HA 5.0s from a fellow head-fier. Received them 5 days ago and immediately didn't like the fact that they are muddier than my IE80s. They sound almost identical except that the IE80s have a much clearer sound in terms of how much the bass...- abbztract

Thanks for this suggestion. I have been looking at these and while I think that these are possibly what I'm after but I really don't like their shape. Their body shape I mean. I think I gave these a try a few years ago and I really don't remember them as being comfortable. I know that now it...- abbztract

Just started getting into classical and want something that doesn't contaminate the music with its own stuff like additional bass or something. What I want is flatness. Where do I go? Westone 4R and the Heir Audio 4.Ai have my interest. What else do I look at? Budget is around $400.- abbztract
