    the NuForce 770X is a great budget IEM with a wideband dynamic driver.

    The discovery thread!

    I just lost the opportunity to pick up some JVC FXC51 for $20.00. Supposedly has better clarity and highs than the Piston? Oh well. Probably for the better? I must say that my Sennheiser CX150 are not a bad budget IEM. Pretty tight and detailed bass, and solid mids. Treble a bit rolled off though.

    you're pretty accurate with that pricing, but I'm looking at lower mid-fi. I'd pay between $125-150 for a pair of good cans. I've got to save pennies for the Fostex or ROCKETS. ;)

    I need a new pair of cans. My Roland's are getting up in age, and I really want something outstanding and detailed, with good bass, but mid-fi priced. Not willing to drop $200 bones on cans.

    thanks for the support, people! You are all awesome folks! The DUNU are awesome, but there seems to be that sibilance in the upper register...which i chalk up to the TWFK drivers.

    TDK IE800 Dual High-Performance Dynamic Micro-Drivers IEM

    Sweet to hear. You know, i sold the IE800 to fellow headfi'er roy_jones, and he loved it. I ended up selling him the BA-200 as well, and he loves that one too, so it's been a journey for that IEM, but it found a home where it's been appreciated. I loved the BA-200 myself, but with the DUNU...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (Headphones, IEMs, Amps, DACs)

    I'm unable to get to the other thread, as I was unfairly banned from it, for defending my opinion and impressions on the H1, from someone that was being rude about it. But i still haven't received my B3. I'm hoping they show up sometime in the next month. They are slow in traveling lol I'll know...

    Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (Headphones, IEMs, Amps, DACs)

    I'm not sure what I'm getting next, but it's leaning towards the Fostex or the Aurisonic, with the AT IM70 running a distant third.

    TDK IE800 Dual High-Performance Dynamic Micro-Drivers IEM

    I'm not aware of any fake IE800. It's a really good IEM though, but the fit is a bit negligible.

    I'm waiting for the Fostex TE-05 and Auriosonic ROCKETS. Both intrigue me.

    Sup homies?? Anyone run into a new discovery we should be made aware of?

    +1 . I know I'm done with this ridiculousness. I'm listening to my DUNU, and having a cup of 'Joe.

    ....and??? So he has the H3. And others here have the JH13, and JH16, and the Sennheiser IE800, and the HD800, and AKG 3003. Does that make them the definitive authority on audio? The guy was asking to dismiss my opinions and all other "hyperbole", because one member happened to comment. I...

    thanks. it's the one worry I got, but they seemed to assure me I got the version I wanted. we'll see?

    The discovery thread!

    The H1 are a very mid forward IEM. The sound signature, if I must find a comparison, would be closest to the TDK BA-200, but with the treble extension a bit better and clearer, but it has that warm, smooth, almost dark feel. That's the SS that I prefer the most. I guess that's from years of...

    +1 for what Vain III said. That was exactly the comparison and perception. As for that second quote, that was my commenting on the DUNU as I was listening to them. That was not in the context of comparison or any A/B'ing, so yes, as I was reveling in the DUNU at that moment, they were...

    The H1 is smooth and sweet with vocal presentation that is out of this world. That might be a great next buy?

    The discovery thread!

    yes sir they do. that's what I love most about them. they are amazing for metal and rock, and that's my main listen, so these are made with my preferred signature. @kahaluu Thank you, and yes I do love them. Best $100 i've spent in awhile. Now for the B3!

    no. didn't say that at all. Audiophiles care about all things. detail. soundstage. imaging. balance. lows. mids. highs.    bass head = BASS first, and all else after...OR...they wouldn't be called bass heads now would they?

    The discovery thread!

    So I spent the last couple hours comparing the DUNU DN-1000, Sony XBA-H1, OM Audio InEarPeace, and yes..I threw in the Xiaomi Piston into the mix just for the heck of it.      I used a Sony NWZ 475 + FiiO E7 amp, 320 files, with Copper Colour OCS cable, and all iem's fitted with the same...

    The discovery thread!

    i understand your reasoning for defending the bass head, but I'm not a believer in that. A bass head wants bass. Usually they are not audiophiles, or if they are, they have bass head IEM's and audiophile IEMs, and the most popular bass head IEMs aren't considered audiophile level IEMs unless...
