I have comfort complys on my CX300ii. And I listen to a little pop, some R&B, but I'd say my taste for music is relatively wide. Bass is nice but I wouldn't give up too much of mid range and high. I got that correct, right? Like sometimes some bassy iems give up some mid and high? Or is it just high? But if it means anything to you, despite me liking bass, I'd still take the VSD3S than VSD3, based on description.

I really like my Etymotic Research MK5 (59$)
It has a much better sound than the RE-400 waterline, with similar sig. to the ER4, but a little less treble and slightly more bass.

You should check it

I think you will like the VSD3/s, more. I dont think MK5 has enough detail, i havent tried them but i dont think ETY will push something nicely detailed At this price.

Great review of DN-2K my friend. Now, you must review JVC FX850 and Sony Z5

No promises on the FX850 but I do have a Z5

. Sounding a little bloated so far for $700, but nice as a warm, borderline basshead IEM.

Excellent review, and "satisfying comparison" w/GR07 CE (to me ).......(coz its just that I have from that list

) and this review right in time just before the launch of DN2Kj........

Thanks.. I'm excited for the DN-2000J myself. I think the size and weight of the DN-2000 will eliminate it as an option for some people, which is a shame.

Hi ljokerl(or anyone with reccomendations, really),

First off, I'm very very new to better quality of headphones and this community in general. I own a Cx300ii and a HD449(which was honestly dissapointing), and I'm looking at buying another earbud/iem. I prefer wearing my earbuds "normally". I don't wear my CX300ii over the ear, but there have been many many good impressions on the VSD3S, which appears to be an iem that people wear over the ear. My price range is about at the VSD3S, around 65 and below. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

IMO the VSD3S is one of the better-sounding options in that price range (and you would probably get used to wearing earphones cable-up given time) but there's also quite a few decent options for cable down in that price range - Ostry KC06, Sony MH1C, HiFiMan RE-300, etc. The KC06 is the closest of these to VSD3S performance IMO. A little more focused on the midrange and it won't be as bassy as your CX300, but overall a very nice option for $60. Also might fit the same Complys you're using now on your CX300.

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions! I see why people love this community already. Looks like I'm gunna go for VSD3S! Now im indecisive about which cables to get(fixed silver plated, detachable copper, detachable silver plated), the three of those in ascending price order.

Go for Fixed silver. Vsonic is not best with detachable cables. Gets you the silver cable for cheap.

Hi Joker,

What do you think is a logical upgrade to the RHA MA750?

Upgrade in what way? I.e. what are you looking to retain from the MA750, what are you looking to upgrade, and what are you willing to give up if necessary?

Awesome, I've only tried them briefly but I thought they were quite nice as an upgrade to my Reference. Glad you like them!
