Earbuds Round-Up
Jul 28, 2016 at 8:42 PM Post #7,426 of 75,463
Was gonna ask why you didn't just order from Amazon but they are nowhere to be found? Hopefully they're temporarily off until they  can get more stock. Clicking the link to the item in my orders page takes me to the Auglamour IEMs.
 
Not upset at all I'm going to own two RX-1's, will probably use the gold ones more when they get here  :wink:

  said that Seahf V1 is closer to Zen 1 than any other version (in terms of appearance and sound). I am really interested to know the difference between those three 320 ohm version

That is what I heard too, but as mentioned by others, they are not the same. I only tell you the diff between the 320Ohm V1 and V2. To me, I prefer my custom tuned V1 more than V2 for relaxing and just listening to vocals in general. The v1 is more of a "lower frequency" bud, whereas the v2 (before I blew it up with my amp) is airier and more balanced.

First impression after about 5-6 songs:
 
I completely agree with @ClieOS ranking so far. I also would hold it just a step above Cygnus. It seems a bit more natural and balanced than Cygnus IMO. Bass depth and extension is very excellent. It is able to reach sub bass notes. It is not a bass cannon but it is very capable of reaching deep and sounding good.
 
One of my test suites for all new headphones is Bass Mekanik - Quad Maximus. I love this CD to death. It is one of the best I know for testing bass impact and depth as well as clarity in the rest of the audio spectrum. The Auglamour was able to reach lower bass notes than I expected. Nothing muddy or unclear ever. I am very impressed.
 
It, like the Monk, has a shockingly natural and well balanced song, although this is definitely quite a few steps above the Monk.
 
All genres I have tried yet sound awesome. This is a very natural sounding and well balanced earbud. It is better than the Asura 2.0 and I think I might take it over the Cygnus.
 
The cable is a little rubbery but I can forgive it.
 
The included extras and packaging is simply top notch. Very intricate. First you remove the shinkwrap, separate the two halves of the plastic shell from each other by removing the rubber wristband on the outside. Pick up the wooden phone stand/earbud holder, the rest of the wire for the earbuds goes into a box below it with the logo cutout. Open that box up, take out a zip case with the AG logo on it, inside there find the AG branded seafoam colored rubber wristband with the rest of the cable, a metal AG logo, and the foams/shirt clip. The wooden phone stand is a crazy nice touch.
 
So it's a winner in sound quality and packaging. Tested it on miami bass, hip hop, female vocal J-Pop, 80s industrial and 90s house... I have 0 complaints here except it's too bad Amazon smashed the outer plastic shell. At least everything was safe on the inside v

Just using the foams it came with BTW. I think it might be just a bit too bright for me if I used donuts or MP foams. Probably will put the Hiegis on them when I get those in the mail.

I let them now the outer case was smashed, but i'm not super pissed. I would be angrier if I wanted to keep it for display purposes or something, but even with all the other goodies they give you inside that box, it's quite a lot of stuff actually. Anyway, nothing inside the case was damaged at all. It's annoying but not like anything inside the case suffered any damage. :)
 
Still using my rx1 now, over the ear is my favorite way to use it, stays right in place perfectly for me. I really am loving these.
 
I'm thinking SeaHf/TY Hi-Z 150 will be my next purchase.... but I can hold off for a while with these in the arsenal now.

I think Mojito is end game for Earbuds :frowning2:
I am not able to hear anything else, although i had ordered RX-1.
 
But i feel, i will wait for next flagship earbud (~$200) :)

Is the Dragonfly DAC capable to drive Zen 2? I know it has an amp but not sure how powerful it is. What other options are there (~$100 or less) to use with a laptop? Not interested to use it with my phone and I don't want a desktop amp but something that is semi-portable (if that make sense?).

I was able to power it happily with my Xduoo X3, that's only 175ish mW @ 32 ohms. Don't know how powerful the Dragonfly it, but check its output and it might be good

Should hopefully have my hands on the Mojito tomorrow. Let's see if it lives up to all the recent hype.

All the best buddy :) Wish you luck.

One of the reasons I like the RX-1 so much: it makes normal MP3's and sources sound much better than they should, but try playing something lossless into it, and get ready to be in disbelief.
 
With the over the ear way of wearing them it's very easy to get them to stay in a place that's positioned right so you get to get nice solid bass.
