Does anyone still use these? How do they compare to today's new iems? I can get a new pair for $310 shipped but not sure if they're worth getting over some other headphones.

Has anyone compared this to audiofly af180?

The teac looks very promising in sound quality for the price.  Have you compared it to the opus#1?   The #2 is a bit out of my price range.  I would be getting the opus#1 if I had to choose between the 3.

Is this still going on? It's been 3 months since the first request without any updates?

Thank you for all the suggestions! I will do some reading and will hopefully figure out if these are right for me.

I'm really interested in these due to the reviews I've read but they are almost double the other headphones I am interested in purchasing. $309+tax on amazon vs $185 shipped on ebay. Can I ask what DAP is recommended to drive these and to scale the best sound out of these? I have a budget of...

Hello all. Can anyone that has experience with DAPs recommend me one to use with these that will scale them nicely with good synergy? My budget is $800 total for headphones and dap, with dac/amp if necessary. I am thinking about picking these headphones up used for $100 or new for $150. So that...

  Hi Paul, is the DX120 going to be released this year and soon?  I would want to wait for this to pair with the it03 if so.    

Oops I meant it03

  +1 for suggestions.  Read some reviews on both and really interested in Shanling m5 for my tastes in music.  Wish I could've joined in on that massdrop deal a couple months ago.   There's a used one for 350 so I might go for that (New cheapest is 430) .   Really excited to try this combo...

Thanks for confirming, maybe you were the one that said the the iphone 5's 5.0ohm output was terrible.  This is why I want to invest in a DAP.   I've been looking at the DX80, fiio x7/am3 combo, and cayin n5 so far. Other daps ive seen reviewed with the it04 are out of my price range. Since I...

  I read earlier that the ohm output impedance on phones not the htc 10 or better are terrible to truly experience the quality.  My s7edge is 5.6ohms.  Someone else also said it could affect the sound signature.  Is this something that I should take to heart?   If it's a night/day difference...

I just spent the last few days, spending a few hours each day, reading the entire thread. I am very very interested in these. Thank you to all of you, especially the reviews and those with suggestions on tips, improvement, explanations, details, etc. I'm a straight up newbie who never could...

  I spent the last few days reading the entire thread on these and really interested +1.  With that said, I now want to invest in a DAP.  Do you know the difference in sound signagure between these and fw01.  Somehow Im attracted to both but I havent heard anything this end of thre spectrum to...

That's what I was afraid of. I want something "high end" enough that I won't notice the lack of quality (anything not my triplefi10s back in the day that werent over $300 weren't good for me and I noticed the difference badly) but at the same time not to overkill my setup. Would fx850s and an...
