After the Zen 2.0 then the Cygnus and now, I have a new personal Champion, the Edimun V3. If only the cable can be improved but for the sound, the best that I've heard so far (based on what I have and had). :L3000:  Has anyone have the Edimun and Mojito? Can anybody compare? This can help save me a lot of money. :D

I ordered Edimun (not here yet) and I have Mojito. Will compare when they get here.

if its even worth mentioning, I ordered the cygnus after trying the auglamour rx-1,
 
I am starting to warm up to them, for positioning alone
 
I tried watching a movie with them and the sound seemed exactly as it was showing on screen
 
although there was a bit were the sound seemed to be coming from the 2 earbuds and from the center of my head and everywhere else all at the same time, which seemed kinda weird to me

Thanks Tayyab. Looking forward to your impressions. :)

  Edimun is much more similar to Zen than to Mojito. Mojito is a different sound sig altogether whereas all the other mentioned are somewhat similar in sound sig.

I prefer the Edimun's wider soundstage and more open sound (as far as what I hear) compared to the Zen 2.0. I think it's a matter of sound sig preference than pure sound quality as both are very good performers in this aspect. For now, I can enjoy the Edimun while I ponder if I still need to get the Mojito given the price.

After a few days, here my first impression with K´s earphone.
 
It quickly became clear, that my Fiio X7 isn´t able to drive them properly. The SQ of the X7 isn´t on the same level. The K´s have a 8K TV resolution, so what to do? Made the jump and ordered the new AK300 Dap+Amp. Now, to say I´m in audio heaven would be an understatement. Never would have thought, my music could sound this good. It´s a lot of money, but tbh I don´t care if it can sound so great.
Highs, Mids and Bass blend and become a coherent one. It´s all there. Total endgame. I wish all of you to have the chance to listen to this combo sometime.

How is it compare to your fav 320 V1 ? Specially the Soundstage and Imaging and instrument separations ?

Remax 305M never showed up, tracking never updated and seller never answered my messages :frowning2:
 
Picked up the Astrotec Lyra from the post office today - they are truly awesome. Super balanced, super neutral on first listen. Great soundstage it seems.

Why so silence today :frowning2:

  Thanks. I am reading through this thread (on page 542), when I've fully caught up I'll have made up my mind!

Right, although they do not get unanimously positive reviews, I have ordered these:
 
http://penonaudio.com/Earphones/earbuds/AUGLAMOUR-RX-1
 
Main reasons:
  1. I trust the positive reviews (fingers crossed)
  2. I like the styling
  3. The smaller size might be more comfortable
  4. They make a change from the ubiquitous MX500 shell
 
I'll find out if I'm right in a few weeks.

Howdy all.  I've got a set of Auglamour RX-1s inbound as well as two sets of Monk+.  I'm thinking about getting a set of Ty HI-Z 32Ohm, but wasn't sure if there were any other under 20 dollar ear buds I was missing.
 
I've read through a lot of the thread, and those seem to be the 3 big standouts in that price category.

Get them! I prefer them to my Monk+ for their stronger bass and wider/deeper soundstage.

I also am thinking about a few bug guy's 300 ohm or 400 ohm earbuds,
 
but, the thing that stops is the lack of an amp that can power something like that,
 
the obvious answer could be the VE RA 2.0 but at a price point of $500 aud its kinda out of my price point right now,
 
even if I buy a cheaper amp that says 300 ohm it isn't future proof and would need to buy another even more powerful amp...
 
so what I think I am saying is, if anyone knows of a amp that can power maybe up to 500 ohm and is cheap (under $200 aud / $150 usd)?
 
but even if there was, would it even be good?
 
I am expecting a 75 ohm adapter to try out on my earbuds and stereo amp, making some earbuds seem to be up to 135 ohm, would be nice to be able to turn the volume more than 2 out of 10 for a change...

bMac 3CH mk II and RA Plus is enough to power earbuds up to 600 Ohm, I guess
they are under $150
I will get one of them if I'm at your budget because I could use one of them on my desktop setup and portable setup without worrying about the battery are being damaged
and 9v battery is easy to find and replace

was thinking about the RA plus, but it says that its up to 300 ohm and some say it can't power the zen 2.0 efficiently enough, although, wild lee said on facebook that pluging it in to a wall socket will almost double its power
 
I am more of planing ahead of time, I'm not actually going to buy an amp anytime soon, its in my nature to plan way ahead and to over think things way before I actually do or buy something, (except for the auglamour rx-1, I got on that hype train as soon as it left the station
