Thanks man, I agree. I can miss my se846, the bass for example was so fast and in your face ("inside" your face). Like a direct wire to the eardrum. However some earbuds can something completely different with 3D and room.
 
I've just found out about binaural recordings, right now I'm over the top about that on Campfreds. Even though I expect the sound to be realistic before a song, I can't help turning my head when I press play. It sounds soo realistic. The Campfreds might also be for you, if you like a natural, realistic sound.

Thank you very much now Campfreds is on my wish list already.

All you need is a powerful enough source. No amp. I have found it actually doesn't really react to amp at all. It was better directly off my phone or any of my DAP. Adding an amp just made it sound less defined, surprisingly. One of the rare buds that sounds better off my sound card's headphone out than line out into an amp.

I use it with a smsl m3, would that be considered as a source or an amp?
I only have a few earbuds need the volume turned up as much as these, like the hp-650's, as much as the 9 o'clock position
I had been using them for a while now and gotten used to the sound but as you describe it, it makes me appreciate them even more since I only have my hp-650 and cygnus to compare them to

Man... im confused how people find the monk+ bright and clean. Ears are crazy things thats for sure

Clean? I'm not sure. But bright, yes. I also find the overall sound of monk+ to be thin in every aspect, not only bass. But that what gives monk+ kind of airy feel and feel less congested than, say h180 or she3800, i guess.

I disagree. You must be using a weak source.

We had a new company phone and they came with Huawei AM115 earphones which don't sound too bad. But in comparison to the top 5-6 budget earphones their bass is a bit bloated and it has less clarity than the qian25.
 
Not sure if this is legit but the mic controls for volume down and skip song which is nice. I shall continue my journey for a good earbud with a mic

Ting is something really special it had a very unique characteristic and i like it a lot.

Compare to original Masya.

Low: Masya have better extension and also have more impact as well as bass quality.


Mid: Masya really shine here vocal is rendered in highest quality it's almost like liquid gold.

Ting in other hand sound like it had a bit recessed mid if compare to Masya back to back but don't get me wrong Ting also do good here just not standout like Masya.


Treble: Masya have a good extension and also really good in detail here. Out of box sometimes can reach the level that may sound uncomfortable to someone who doest really like treble(but better after 20 hours of burn-in IMO).

Ting doing perfect here out of the box IMO.


Overall in term of sound quality I think I can say Masya is more refined than Ting.

But I think Ting is something special when listen to it I have a feeling like I listen to something not Earbud not Headphone not IEM I don't know how to explain also.



But beware of Masya now it come in 2 deferent version which is I guess have different driver too as they sound different also.

The new version is sound like broken Ting.

I post photos and impression of new Masya vs original Masya in Facebook club: Earbuds anonymous as I'm new member here I do not have a permission to post any picture.

Did anyone pick up the Koss KDE250? It's in a drop again

Pardon me. What's the meaning of broken Ting? Does it mean new Masya is good or bad?

After figuring out there is 2 version of Rose Masya.

Today I just have a chance to AB testing them here are my quick impression.

New version seem a bit more refine both in term of physical appearance as well as SQ.

In term of overall build quality new version look more solid and more refined cosmetically, newer one look more like final product while the original one look more like phototype.

When come down to sound quality you can tell the difference immediately right after you put them in your ears.

After spend many hours AB testing them with my own DAP/DAC the new version sound more bright and really focus on treble with noticeable less mid/low I found it doesn't sound like original Masya anymore it's like something between Masya / Mojito (in term of tonality not quality-wise).

Something like if the Mojito is for instruments, soundstage and clinical accuracy sound. And original Masya is for Vocal the new one is stand in the middle but not excel in any.

Final conclusion: I like older version much more than the newer one.

Here are a pictures of latest version of Masya which is in term of SQ is worse than original one IMO.

could you provide further comparisons with say Zen 2.0? details in mids ( lower and upper) to compare with.

what iem could you compare it in terms of details or signature (best you could lol since there is a discrepancy here)

After taking into account several factors (reading reviews & comments here on Head-Fi, and comments on @BloodyPenguin's "Earbuds Anonymous" Facebook group), I've ordered a set of K's 500-Ohm (v2) 2.5mm TRRS Earbuds.
 
They're about $20 more than the VE Asura 2.0 (2.5TRRS) that I already have, which is a reasonable cost at the moment.
And, they're supposed to have a good ability for resolving details in acoustic music, which I'm looking forward to hearing.
 
I also ordered several other budget (<$10) earbuds (Qian25, Qian39, Standard VE Monk Plus), some cable, and connectors - to experiment with cable modding.
 
Once I get my Taxes filed, and find out what the refund might be, I'll consider one of the more expensive earbud models.
 
 
Take Care,
David Baldock

I have seen some sellers selling  siy earphones with the PK1 drivers. As example:
 
https://aliexpress.com/item/DIY-PK1-earphone-OFC-wire-150-ohms-pk1-unit/32255161292.html?spm=2114.17010208.99999999.276.JFVAmK
 
Is the results of this ones similar to the originals Yuin PK1? Anyone has experience with any PK1 diy model?
