Holy cow! I thought my E5C's were good!

Do you have custom molds for your e5's?
The same person who is probaby rich enough to buy another pair if they get damaged 😉
But on the street for an open headphone would be kind of pointless. On the go I'm not so much concerned with amazing quality, as long as it's something to keep me entertained.
I use Sennheiser 280s for work to cancel out most of the office buzz, and people around me who chew their food loudly.
I tried using ETY ER-6i's at work with rubber tips but they were just too uncomfortable after a few hours and I couldn't get them to seal well so I guess that's why I never thought they sounded amazing either. Too cold for my liking.

They have to heard to be believed I'm told.
The E5's sound nice. They are extremely sensitive to fit and seal as expected. With something made from an impression, you just cannot go wrong.
Heh $900 is NOTHING compared to what other things in the chain cost, seriously I not joking.
The fact that someone can travel just about anywhere and have damn near perfect acoustics is very desirable. Of course such pristine quality will definitely reveal the limitations of the source.

< UE-10 user here. (or hear 😀)
Worth every frickin' penny IMO. If you're serious about audio, these are the best investment you will make ever. Because of the way they cut background noise, they actually save your hearing unlike other 'phones.
That video is dead on other than when I had impressions done they gave me a bite block and the doctor was nice but the lucky SOB in that video had a smoking hot doc! 😉
The Westone UM2's are definitely worth a look if you're not ready to spend $1k. They're very similar to the E5C but nearly half the list price! If you can adjust to the comfort of the "one size fits all crowd" type of phone, they would be a solid choice.
This feature can be built into your headphone amp or other device. Basically a push to talk override that pauses the music and turns on a mic that lets you hear sound through your IEM's. As an added feature it can be used as a "bionic ear" especially if you have a line in that lets you plug in a parabolic mic! :evil:
Cheers!

Didn't read the entire thread yet, but those are custom fit to the owner's ear, right?
I'm looking around for some E4C's myself.

I've been told that in the long term headphones will damage your hearing moreso than speakers if listened to at the same relative volume. Is that true? Also, does the positioning work decently (sound positioning)? I'm currently using open air HD600 headphones and I like the way that they sound relative to closed headphones,, but I DO like the fact that closed headphones block out a lot more noise, and even moreso these. Thanks!

They are better than conventional earspeakers no doubt. Not sure about the study with hearing loss. I have my ears checked annually and my hearing is well above "average" for my age.

Did you have the right seal?

Yes!! I would jam those suckers as far as they would go, then push some more! The guy in this review confirms it.

UE's are hella nice!! One day...Just gimme some time. My E4's (tired of seeing the white cords) will have to hold me over. But to the OP, if you're looking to get a set of UE10's and have the dough, everyone I know that owns a pair can't listen to music on other canals. My homie said my E4's were "alright" 🙁 when compared to his UE10's, he was right.
