Westone UM PRO Series Thread
Hi guys, I'm looking at the older model of a u series but can't tell which model it is (um 20, 30 or 50) and the guy selling doesn't know either. I'm looking online and can't see any discernable features between them. Does anyone know how to tell?- rackinov

Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread
Hey LeWidget, I would have to agree with Red. I bought a pair of pistons about a year ago on headfi and when I looked elsewhere couldn't find any real ones. I've looked on and off for a while because I've wanted to give them as presents etc but yeah, difficult to find, the market is flooded with...- rackinov

Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread
Just to chip in again I did get mine for a similar price but I know it does vary a lot from place to place as all Chinese goods does when buying abroad. When are they meant to arrive?- rackinov

Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread
It's unusual for gearbest to sell clones but of course the easiest way to tell will be to see them and try them out when they have arrived. Send some pictures and we can have a look. Mine came from gearbest a while back and they're genuine- rackinov

Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 and Wireless!
They're definitely not fakes, I just had super paranoia as I got them privately for a good price. Thankyou jonoxon though! They sound very good and the Bluetooth is well done. They don't have as much of a bass boost as some people suggested they do. This ones definitely a keeper- rackinov

KEF M100 and M400 impression and review thread.
Also footnote, If anyone has any suggestions for tips that pair well with these I'd be very grateful. I'm going fine with the stocks but I've heard a good pair of complys can make a huge difference- rackinov

KEF M100 and M400 impression and review thread.
Hi all, I just received my pair of m100s second hand and my first impressions are that I'm head over heels with them. The detail packed in these are beautiful. I'm yet to try these with an amp/DAC but just through my phone I am very impressed. The fit is also much better than other styles I've...- rackinov

Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread
The mechanics of the two models I'm pretty sure are the same but build quality is still a massive advantage that the threes have. I've heard that the YE can have some problems with the cable being too fragile. For 10 more dollars I'd go with the ones that last a bit longer but I do agree, the...- rackinov

Why stop at the piston youths? I've been using the piston threes for about a month now and love them. They're incredibly well made for the price and the sound quality is stellar. I highly recommend- rackinov

Biocellulose and Its Use In Headphones-Earphones (referring the recent iem example: Vsonic GR-07 (R07)
Just found this thread, looking at the dates not sure if I'll get a reply but... It says it's a biodegradable material and it's a very thin piece of equipment, how do they ensure its longevity. I mean it's in an ear for a lot of its life and is that a good place for something similar to wood in...- rackinov

Very nice integration by parts in the background! A level C3? The AZ series look so interesting, I just wish I spoke Chinese to read all those reviews on their website. Also this thread is rediculous, just so many responses. What is the most popular model? I'm about to try out the ATE and I'm...- rackinov

I've been looking at the gr07 as well for some time now but I'm on the edge between them and the gr01s. Any other people with an opinion? I know the gr07 is more bassheady but I do love my detail and gr01s have such good reviews- rackinov

Reply to review by 'rackinov' on item 'Sennheiser CX 5.00G Black In-Ear Canal Headset'
Great review, I was a bit split on these and you put it perfectly, sounds musical but that accuracy is definitely lacking compared to others in the price range. I use a pair of beyerdynamic MMX 102ies for most of my listening while travelling but they're just too uncomfortable for long journeys...- rackinov

Xiaomi Pistons 3.0 Impressions Thread
I've had a question on my mind for a while. On my xiaomi phone it has an option to choose which headphones you're listening to and it optimises for it. When I choose that it's the piston 3 the clarity is boosted lots, what's it doing to 'optimise'? Is it all just balancing?- rackinov

I love these little machines. Mine accidentally took a trip in the washing but despite that they're still going strong. The sound quality is astonishing for the price and paired with a xiaomi phone they really come alive. A fun listening experience, I can't wait to see what the next iteration...- rackinov

JDS Labs Element
I've owned this amp/DAC for almost a year now and the quality is superb. I highly recommend it to anyone interested. Not only does it look slick, it also creates incredible clarity. I've just begun to use it as a pre amp/ DAC and am wondering if I am doing it correctly. As I don't have the...- rackinov
