I should be getting the sedna eartips in a week or two. I don’t use the bl03 that much so I’m fine with sticking to foams on those. I’ll be spending most of my time to rolling the FH3 and soon the fd5 or fh5s. Currently using the elastec, really like the fit but I hate how dirty they get 
.
Having listened to the E1000 for a but now I must say I’m starting to warm up to them. Maybe I will recommend these to my friend.
The E1000 is pretty different from most other iems, so I do believe its best to use them with “fresh” ears when you wake up and havent “dirtied” them with other iems lol.
Or well, its best to do that before you form an opinion on them.

What about the E3000C? It’s also warm but more v-shaped, would it be better or worse than the E1000 in general and for jazz specifically?
I dont know jazz so I cant really comment on that.
But If you use the micropore mod on the E1000, it sounds similar but better than the E3000 IMO.
He wants a microphone and the E1000C with microphone is just as expensive as the E3000C with microphone. I don’t think he’s going to be modding it tbh, so mainly looking for the best out-of-the-box performance. (Might look into that mod myself though 
)
Well, I am not experienced with jazz at all. It depends on if you want more bass quantity at the cost of some speed and tightness. The E3000 works better on hip-hop for example because of that.
If you are curious about the mod, you can check my thread.
I have the E2000 personally. I love it’s sound for every genres of music. They work particularly great for hip-hop and electro music because they are slightly v shaped. I believe that jazz can benefit from this tuning that accentuates the lows and the highs but it has great instrument separation and decent soundstage.
I dont find the E2000 worth it though. I got the entire E series as well.
E1000 is probably my favorite with the micropore mod.
What is the microphone mode?
Micropore, not microphone. It’s a kind of tape that can be used to cover vent holes or the nozzle, because it stops some air of going out, it will change the sound in some ways, depending on the headphone
My bad I misread. Thank you!
I got the e1000 for the tips and ended up using them more than the reason I got the tips for(bl03).
Nothing beats convenience, and they don’t do anything bad. They’re just good enough and cheap enough to throw them around the house and have them around.
What’s wrong with the E1000? Seriously I can’t put my finger on it. I’m trying to learn to tell the differences between earphones better (tell as in describe, I can hear the difference but not versed in terms like timbre, clarity and all that). I don’t het these.
They sound completely off, and then I listen to them a while and they’re fine. At first I thought it was timbre but it wasn’t that I think. Then I thought details or clarity, but other than it seems to be lacking detail in the lower frequencies I feel like that’s also not the “issue”.
Mostly running them side by side with the bl03 at the moment, I just can’t figure them out.
I dont have any issues with it, I think its tuned very well. Technicalities should be comparable to the 03 in its stock form, although I like the mesh modded 03 a lot more.
No i mean wrong like: you said they are very different from other IEMs, what’s different. I can clearly hear it but I can’t put my finger on it what the difference is. Like if I go from the bl03 to the fh3 or back, I hear the difference but both sound fine. When I go to the E1000 I need a song or two to adjust and it’ll sound weird in the beginning.
oh, thats the tonality thats different.
And when it comes to the FH3/E1000, its also the timbre and coherency thats a lot different (better timbre and coherency (single DD´s cant really have incoherency lol)).
Ah so it’s just the FR that’s screwing with me, alright alright. I feel like I’m starting to hear the incoherency of the FH3 more and more, though I don’t think I would be able to quickly pick it out in a short amount of time like you could just yet.
I think I’m going to find a lot of reviews about the IEMs I already own and break them down in terms of timbre, signature, coherency, details, clarity etc and then try to train myself to recognize it more easily.
Sounds like a good plan. Although you have to keep in mind that the different terminology that each reviewer use doesnt always mean the same.
(its why I have a terminology list in my thread.)
So I recommend finding people that describe stuff in a way that you can understand it.
A while back I got my FiiO FA1 out to revisit it, and it sounded very weird.
Edit:
The FA1 and e1000 don’t sound alike if I recall, the FA1 is more bright.
There is no need to rush to learn all this IMO.
It took me a few years as well and Im still learning.
