Theyre very crisp and contain a more complete sound. For the triple drivers you can notice the different spectrums of the sound that makes the overall sound come out segmented. For the ma750s they are very natural and crisp. They just sound better to my ears.

Buy from china. taobao.com. I just got one and it rocks

Ma750s are nicer. I upgraded from the triple drivers to the 750s. Current favorite

Bad news... Just received my L3 back from the factory for screen repairs. They also helped me upgrade the firmware to 1.0.0.3. Now the player randomly shuts down after playing a few songs and takes a while to boot back up. Hopefully it stabilizes but I highly doubt it.

Hi all, I just jumped onto the Onkyo A800/H900 enjoyment bandwagon.   I was in the store just 2 hours ago and I saw these two babies sitting on the shelf waiting to be heard. I asked the store assistant if I could try it on and to my surprise, the H900Ms are mobile phone friendly. Rated at...

Fair enough. I suppose what I'm trying to say is the T8s seem a bit muffled to what I am used to which are the much cheaper RHA ma750. After experiencing the RHA earphones I generally look for clarity in the sound signature of all earphones that I listen to. What I mean to say is that the sound...

I think Beyerdynamic and Astell & Kern are decent companies with decent products (I adore the T1P) but honestly, the T8iE in my opinion are disappointing for what they are....

Hi everybody, hope all of you are having a good time wherever you're at.   I thought these earphones were worthy of being known on Head-Fi due to the fact that they have surprised me with their quality of sound.   I found these Sony earbuds in the packaging that encased my newly bought Sony...

Fingers crossed....

Anyone gone ahead and upgraded to its big Brother over at 1more?

So I dropped by the local audio store in my area and found on of these T8i's lying around. I asked the store cashier if I could give it a try. So after a bit of handling, plop, ai plugged these bad boya onto my ears and routed them onto my Cayin i5. Electronic music. My innitial impressions...

No EQ. I do agree though the lower end is good. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the meaning of "detail" and "warmth".

Really? That's funny because I find the L3 extremely detailed and bright in comparison to other players such as the DX80 and the Cayin i5.

Very nice detail review lomenhk. I too have tried the N40 at the shop but unfortunately was not impressed by the sound quality. I am coming from using the RHA MA750, which I think is extremely well articulated headphones (very clear as many of my friends who tried it also agree). After trying...

Hello everybody, was wondering if anybody knows if there are any cable makers able to make balanced TRRS 2.5mm cables that fit the latest Sony XBA line of IEMs? My understanding from research is that Sony only provides a balanced cable designed to fit their own portable amplifier by splitting...

Anybody try on a pair of AKG's new IEMs? Coined the 'N40s', they're supposedly the bridge to the gap between the K3003s and the lesser dragons of their IEMs, such as the N20. Featuring a hybrid setup, one dynamic driver paired with one balanced armature driver, these IEMs push out onto MMCX...

I agree. Firmware is important.   However maybe there are some limitations to the L3 that prevent them from fixing the problems? Hopefully not...   Kind of excited and heartbroken to hear of the L3 Pro. (Like what, my L3's obsolete already? I'm still waiting for a firmware to fix some bugs!)...

Hi all. Just stumbled upon these on Aliexpress and decided to look into it and found this thread. Looks like a good pair of earphones from a cool chinese company. Would love to try out a pair and see what all the fuss is about, though I never spend over USD$100 on headphones...   After finding...

I have had a similar incident with my player where the system crashes and I have to do a hard reset like you mention. However, I only have MP3s and FLACs under my belt, most 16 bit 44khz and some 24 bit 96khz. Seems to be the same issue anyway. Hopefully the FW developer comes back soon and his...

Right.False alarm folks.. :(

Firmware 1.0.0.2 is out! Go and update your L3's people!

Looks like there's a new firmware update on the L3 for everyone. 1.0.0.2. Hope this update fixes some issues.

Ok I get it now. So a DAP essentially contains multiple elements to deliver content, whereas a DAC is simply one part of a whole equation, if you will. Thanks for clearing that up for me guys, you rock.

These were my second IEMs just after the XiaoMi hybrids and I can tell you they sound phenomenal. After upgrading to Sony XBA-40's and going back to these I can tell that they have a crisp metallic sounding treble, which makes the sound come out bright.   Great review and essentially...
