Earbuds Round-Up
Jun 23, 2016 at 11:56 AM Post #5,582 of 75,467
I don't know why I waited this long to try this pairing, but it's good.  If Mojito + Kogan works quite well.  For those that weren't lucky enough to get their hands on one, the Kogan's main appeal was that it was a rather inexpensive DAP (around $25 if I remember correctly) that has a surprisingly detail focused sound for it's price.  My personal favorite pairing was the Kogan with the Ety HF5 for some really detailed listening, at least in respect to price vs performance.  Since they've become quite scarce, many people have since looked for the Kogan successor.  For example, the Kogan & Mojito does a respectable job keeping up with Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, one of the fastest piano pieces that comes to memory.  It's a shame the dap is no longer in production, as mine is becoming growingly temperamental.  I shall enjoy it while it lasts and be sad once it finally dies.  That is unless I can find a suitable replacement and let it rest.

If they're as good as mojito they'd be worth $200. If they ain't at least better than the Zen 2 forget it!
 
Did anyone ever find out what NOS driver the mojito used? i had no idea it was NOS. thought it was a rose production. still love the Mojito even if i haven't had mine in months.

this always seems to happen with the best DAPs, any word on what chip set it might be using?

i'v been sitting whole day in dt770 600ohm+nw-zx2+aune b1 and switched in the middle of the night to ve monk plus... such earbuds (sounds much worse with foam. much cleaner without foamy covers). i used low gain and class A mode for aune b1...
 
what could you say about ve zen2 vs yuin pk1 for my nw-zx2+aune b1?
not ready to get both yet :wink:

Fareal 64ohm with transparent housing. Good bud. Heavy bass with good control. Thick-laidback vocal. But narrow soundstage and not-too-good separation.
But for its price, still good performance.
But please dont expect too superior

Nice to hear it has good heavy bass with good control AND thick vocals. but pretty strange about the soundstage and separation - https://twitter.com/hulang9078/status/743466045831184384
 
this tweet suggests the opposite :D 
 
 
also, did that came in that round packaging?

The edimun is really screw*** good, guys. I think it stacks up against the Zen 2.0. I think it beats the Cygnus.
 
If you are just looking for sub-bass, Seahf 400 is easier to get & cheaper...  but these ROCK!!! these are seriously good, and a whole different game than the Edifier H180.... you would barely know they were the same at the core from the sound.
 
The sub bass is top 3 for sure as far as earbuds go here. Everything else is pretty much as good as the Zen 2. The sound signature, stage and imaging is different than the Zen of course, but damn, I really, really like these!
 
The cable alone is truly amazing and one of, if not the most impressive headphone cable I've expreienced.
 
I can't wait to try their bMac amp after I let it charge for a while.
 
Shouts out again to @Joy Boy who introduced Head-Fi to De'mun. It's 100% your fault I ended up buying these Joy Boy... and I don' regret it one bit :)
 
 
Edit from the future: I'm talking about the Red De'Mun here and all my future posts I refer to the "edimun" up until the Edimun V3 is delivered, so if I say Edimun i meant Red De'Mun (still waiting as of the edit)

Oh man!
I have been chatting with Iriyan since last week and right now I am very close to push the order button for the same pack as yours.
I feel it would sound very good but I need some sound impressions on the amp and earbuds to convince my wallet for good

You should do it.
 
I haven't tried the ipod line out cable yet, I will do that later, and I haven't tried the amp yet as I want to give it at least 8 hours charge before initial use for best battery conditioning...
 
But I can assure you the sound quality is Zen 2 level good...
 
Also Iriyan is an awesome guy.
