Thanks guys!  I never thought of it that way.  What I gathered from the responses is that its through out the entire spectrum of sound, mids playing a large factor.  Would that mean a flatter FQ the clearer?  Or would a slightly elevated mid offer more clarity.  Also the BA's vs Dynamic plays a big part also wouldn't it? 

Haha I like that conclusion LFF.  Kick Ass!

No...not always. It depends on the EQ of the song too! That's why a neutral signature is best.

If you bump the mids on an headphone, some songs will sound muffled, some will sound clearer and some will sound normal...depends on the band, the Q and the amount you increase or decrease.

I see.  So recording will also affect the sound too, hence the more transparent the HP/IEM/CIEM is the more reveling it will be to the recording.

Exactly...the best way to upgrade your systems sound is to find a properly mastered version of your music. Mastering makes a HUGE difference.

Hey LFF, what do you say about this guy here? http://www.head-fi.org/t/658214/frogbeats-c4

Apparently he wanted something Neutral and this wasn't the sound he was looking for

uelover told me the treble on their pair was more rolled off than they liked.  Said the mids and bass were spot on though.

Ahh I see, I wonder if the UERM would be a better choice for him and people like him that find the treble to be rolled-off? Either way, still very intrigued with the stuff Frogbeats has to offer

uelover is leaning towards the UERM.  I was too but the C4 came along.  Not saying either is better, I just don't mind the dip. 

From what I understand the C4 is a little easier to push if it can be used from the ipods or iphones.  I'm not too sure about the UERM. 

Either way, uelover is on change star also, you could ask him his thoughts between both CIEMs.

I ordered the UERM yesterday and ear impression was shipped out today. If the C4 is still not sold when the UERM arrive, I can do a comparison between them.

Yes please do.  Wow...UE sends out kits?  I thought most of the CIEMs were done by an audiologist.  We don't have one here in my little town in Hilo Hawaii so a fit kit would be my rout.

No. We don't have UE authorized audiologist here so I gotta independently visit an audiologist myself and then handle the shipment to UE.
