Earbuds Round-Up

does anyone else have the feeling that the iphone 6s can't drive monk+ by itself?
 
last night at home, (quiet environment) was listening to my iphone with cygnus and tried monk+ with a song, although they (monk+) didn't seem to have less volume, it did seem like something was missing, maybe it lacked power, since the monk plus is 64ohm
 
or maybe this is the real difference between them?
 
it almost seems like the cygus sound better with the iphone 6s than my pc/amp combo, but its probably because of the lower impedance of the cygnus
 
 
edit* just saw @ClieOS got the mx375's
 
for a while wanted to know how they are (especially after buying and liking the mx170)

As far as I know only mr @haiku
and mr @ClieOS
have the K's earphone.
I am very interested to try it though :)


I had to revise my earlier comment on [COLOR=FF0000]TY 650[/COLOR]: it seemed like it needed a lot of power but not so much. Both my LG v10 and even iPod Mini can drive it without any trouble...

It is better than all Seahf and TY I have ever heard - almost all of them. It really has the best of all.
 
pretty different from Mojito. Mojito is neutral, very detailed very analytic. 
TY 650 is very fun. very very powerful sub bass that does not invade into the mids.
truly incredible for electronic, j-pop/k-pop & older hip hop IMO...
vocals are more lush than on mojito. bass goes just as low and controlled but a lot more impact.
awesome treble and bass extension - nice sparkly treble but not fatiguing at all - but a great contrast to the cygnus which can seem too rolled off treble sometimes.
i wish it was a little less expensive but no complaints - i am very happy with it.
 
imagine how different Zen 2 and mojito are from each other - it is almost that drastic of a difference - but still a very different sound than Zen 2 (i like it a little more honestly, because the huge fun bass like old Seahf 400, even better on 650)
 
All TY 650 owners should try girls generation - Gee and something like this out

i have owned or heard:
 
Seahf smart 2.0
Seahf LD 3.0 320, 400
Seahf LD 4.0 320, 400, 400s
TY Hi-Z 32 v2, 320 v2, 400, and now 650.
 
650 has the best aspects of all put into one bud, it is breaking in incredibly nicely, so recommended to all seahf/ty fans, even if the price is a little steep. hope it drops from $119 eventually.
 
I don't know if 650 is limited or a new regular model, but it came in a very fancy case, not the usual white rectangle box.

This is mine after ~6 months, not bad at all I would say. I live in Australia so it's not overly humid, the cable oxidized a little near the earpieces but it stopped after 2 months and has remained at the current level since then. As others have stated, the sound is identical, at least as far as I can tell. I thought the greening would really bother me, but it's been fine, you won't notice then green when they're in your ears, but you will notice the delicious sound!

I actually like the look of oxidized copper... so long as it stays out of the terminations :ph34r:

How do you plan to drive it? Would appreciate if you could do some testing with lower-powered sources. I can see myself getting either HP150 or HP320/HP320M as I am pretty impressed with HP32 for what it is. I am just hoping that HP320/HP320M is easier than expected to drive, or else the HP150 will be a less hassle (ie: no external amp needed) choice for me.

Well I have O2 amp. Hope it match well. I love my ty 32 too.

Btw, I'm having a hard time to understand how burn in turned these SHE3800 to an awesome sounding earbuds with the mod of course. No harsh treble no peaks across the spectrum. They are more accurate, clear and natural sounding than the Monk. They are far far better than even my modded Monks. I still cannot believe what I'm hearing guys. I paired with Monk plus foams and loved it. Buy them and do the mod I've posted. You won't regret it!

Ah, I saw that, I thought you meant a different one for the SHE. Anyway, I'll give it a try, thanks.
 
BTW just got my 1More EO320. First impressions - good. Very good. Similar mids and highs to the RX-1 but with the deeper and tighter bass of the Hi-Z 32 v2. Bigger soundstage as well, IMO it's what the RX-1 should have been. Also beautifully made and presented, a bargain for $22 (they're a bit more now):

I only know of me and @haiku on here who have these. Anyone else?
