I posted this in a separate thread but received no response.  Hope it is OK to post here in case you pros have any ideas.    *****************8     This is going to take some skill.    I have a pair of VE Zen 1.0 that I've seldom used.  However, I stumbled on the VE Zen 2.0 thread and...

Sigh.    This is going to take some skill.    I have a pair of VE Zen 1.0 that I've seldom used.  However, I stumbled on the VE Zen 2.0 thread and realized that the Zen 1.0 needs foams. Wow!  I'm stunned as to what the earbuds can do. Far better than I remembered, and I remember that they...

Thanks for the info. 

Quick question.  I have a pair of VE Zen 1.0 that I got new a while back directly from Lee.  However, I almost never use them. Originally I was going to do a review but found that the earbuds simply don't stay close enough to my ear canal so I kept loosing bass response. They would lean away...

A bit curious if anyone owns both Elear and Bowers P9 - very different approach but curious about any observation after extensive use of both.  

Is there a definitive difference between Woox and Gibson? 

Above the left ear cup, all three states 'Woox'.    Channel imbalance -just listen to specific pieces to see if centered vocals are centered etc.  :)

I recently had the opportunity to test three X2 extensively side by side.    Interestingly, all three are different.   I am assuming that impedance is related to decibels at a particular input level so I assume that all three are different impedance:    Unit 1- Softest volume (highest...

Have been on the road almost the past two weeks. Not home yet.  Someone asked about the Breeze Audio E16. I actually am running one myself.  Picked up three of them.  Another is going to my son.    My comments on the E16.    1. Bargain for the $$ in my opinion.    2. Plug and play for...

This would be the first time I replied to a post of this nature in years.  Normally I just let posts like yours go its natural path.    In this case, I'll simply note that if you 'demand' answers, you should go after PK Yuin which uses similar housing, and has been around for quite a while.  I...

Quick question for you guys.  I picked up three pairs of the Zen.  Picked up one, was so impressed that I picked up two more. Want to do a quick review - but I must be a bit dense - how do I post a review?    This is my first introduction to buds - its' been an interesting journey. Fit is the...

This is an old thread but I just found this today.    Finally cracked open a brand new pair of KSC 75 I've had lying around for years in the package. Wow, impressed for $15. Should have tried them years ago. Don't even remember when I purchased them.   Anyways, stumbled on this thread.   ...

Anyone compare these side by side with the Dunu Titan 1?   Soundstage width? Transients?  Balance of tone?    Thanks in advance for any comments.    ULUL

Greetings, Two quick questions. I read that these are semi-open with a large soundstage. 1, Is the soundstage as large as earbuds that do not fit in ears? (i.e. Yuin PK1 etc.) Or is it smaller but just larger than sealed IEMs? 2. Does it allow sound from the outside in as much as earbuds or...

In full sized headphones, there are open back and closed back models.  And they are specified as such.  I much prefer the open back full sized head phones for the soundstage.  All closed just sound small to me.  However, with IEMs, I don't see any distinction.  The only ones I have tried are...

Anyone try the Zen or Asura with really portable dac/amps such as the Dragonfly, Dacport or Geek Out? And better yet, any tried those against the E11 amp and E16 dac/amp? I doubt that we'll have quite that amazing a run of comparisons but figure it's worth an ask. Looking for my firist high...

Hope this is OK to post. Read the first few pages and last couple and realize that I currently can't quite read the entire 47 page thread. Currently using the KLIPSCH X1 iem with dragonfly DAC/amp for on the road travel. For my ministry trips, I often make it to China. If I want to purchase...

This is a thread about the Metrum but I hope it is OK to make the query here.    Has anyone actually tested either of the Metrum (Hex/Octave) side by side against the well regarded Line Magnetic 502 Dac?    Thanks! ULUL

Happened on this thread from Massdrop.    I've been headed much more towards speakers than headphone the past few months.  But this review intrigued me.    Questions if I may:    1. I had a pair of the K701 Quincy model.  Also tried other K701s.  I really like a huge soundstage (for a...

I wonder if anyone who his testing this out also have the KEF LS50 which is high resolution for the dollar.  Would be interesting to hear a comparison.   UL

JoeDoe,    Want to second your review in terms of the lushness.  I picked up another pair - a top of the line pair - to replace the initial pair that I reviewed for this thread as I was searching for more warmth.  Got what I wanted.  It is better than the original in every way, but especially...

Question: Does the 1/8th inch jack input BYPASS the internal DAC?  Or does it still go through the DAC like the KEF X300?     The KEF X300 is very articulate and has high resolution. As both are either single driver or concident drivers, it would be interesting to compare this to the KEF.   UL

The claim that this will match something multiples of $ more is intriguing.   I am interested but wondering about the 70hz and up frequency range. I don't know of anything $2600 (just two multiples) that has bass extension only to 70hz. Anyone tried to integrate these with a subwoofer - how...
