Yea at last, been waiting for someone to give some impressions on these. Cheers!!!

Yes, thx for pointing out the mistake, it was meant to be the E5c. Edited the mistake.  

Personally, i haven't heard the PS200s but i am assuming that they should sound alot better than the CK7 (going by Phiaton's pretty excellent track record so far). Firstly, we have to remember that CK7 is a very old design and it was released circa late 2005. That was a period of time when...

I do suppose that when u meant warm, you were referring to the se530 in general, no just vocals ya? Cos i find many iems to have boderlining midbass that does heighten that warm impression very much as well even if it is well controlled, and doesn't bleed into the mids. To me the se530 do...

  Quote: Looking at these, the housing zeems to be a clone of AT's CK9, thus i suspect the nozzles to be the same as the CK9. Meaning it'll fit regular UE tips, Senn tips, Sony Hybrids, T400s, etc.  

What Kunlun has mentioned about BA drivers seems very true to me, based on my observations with experiencing single BA designs. I will not mention names, but traditional BA designs (with the exception of moving armature design or FAD's BAM enhanced BA), have this seeming weakness when it...

Not too sure if you prefer a Circumaural or Supra-aural fit, bit anyways here some suggestions.    Circumaural               ATH-PRO700,K271, DT150,DT770 pro,RP-21, HDJ-1000, HD250 II, HD-280 pro, MDR-CD900ST,SRH840   Supra-aural HD25-1 II,TMA-1,K171, MDR-V6, MDR-7506,RP-DJ1200  ...

My bad James, my memory is failing me lol.

Hmmm...decisions, decisions..... But it'd be nice for the fact that it'll def sound different due to the closed design. Wouldn't you agree? :)

Quote: To me the reason why i classify the Shures as luxurious are because of their overall build quality, conservative sound sig (the rolled of highs and much less emphasized midbass) and overall userbility in terms of being easy to live with (i enjoy a mid foward sound and their fit)...

Quote: Spot on choices mentioned by Zol0ft to add on these are also in the pricerange though some might be cheaper Meelec M6/M31 Rockford Fosgate Punch Plugs Sony MDR XB series Nuforce NE6/7 Hippo VB TDK EB900      

Impedence figures below three digits are not a good reference point. Most DAPs should drive them with no problem.  Sensitivity should be what you are looking at. At 109±2dB, the Soundmagic PL50 are not an issue

I believe these are packaging meant for different markets. I am pretty sure as i have seen the packaging based on OllyNewport's photos. So yea like what the rest have said, yours should be real. @ TYATYA your 535s are based on packaging designated for the Asia market. Mine is exactly the...

Hi Mark, from what you described, they seem kind of like the Denon 751s. How would you compared these to the 751s? Thanks in advance.  

They're very versatile as a fit a variety of nozzle sizes, and that's probably why they get talked about alot.  

Thank you and i am glad you liked it. I was afraid i seemed abit harsh as i was unable to depict a situation in this short impression which favoured the 535s. Truth be told, many a times i pick up the 535s when i have access to both, they are just so easy to live with and i'm a sucker for the...

Quote: That is so true. Thanks for the great review as always James, enjoyed it thoroughly!

I am going to attempt to give some short impressions on Shure se535 and Sony mdr-ex1000. Firstly, i would like to state that i am not very good at picking out subtle differences or even putting to words what i hear. Nonetheless i will try to pen down what i note and hopefully give some insight...

Congrats on your purchase. Hope you like them as much as i do. :)

I will try to do an A/B on both this coming weekend.

Ya agreed, just like how Mdr e888 Jap, Thai & Phil versions differ in sound, though specs are similar, that is somehow inevitable.

You're vey welcome, it was a pleasure doing so. I just realised MDR7550 has a gold plated screw thread for its cable like the EX800ST too. ;)

Any decent dynamic driver will offer more bass with better timber as opposed to BA. BA driver will usually offer more articulate bass but at the same time lose out in timbre. Either way you win some and lose some.   If comfort is an issue for you, then most likely you'd want an IEM with...

The TF10 pro's are biased to a V shaped equalised kind of sound. Therefore, they impart a sense of liveliness and are particularly fitting for rock music. The vocals though are not nice and tend to sound hallow and nasal, instrument seperation is great to the point of being artificial. But...

Just got some pictures to show the physical differences between the trio. Enjoy!!! The 800 is meant to be a studio monitor (ST for STudio i guess), while the other two are consumer based EX monitor series. Oh and the EX800ST were released slightly earlier than the other 2 but only barely so...
