Teclast R8 in-ears

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

The R8 that comes with the T51 sounds like any cheap stock earphone :) I replace the tip with Sony Hybrid so it go deeper into my ear canel and seals better. They actually sounds not bad of course they are not the same league like RE0 or Turbines but adequate for day to day listening. Not bad for a free IME.

Haven't heard RE0.

 

The R8 is my go-to IEM now. SQ-wise, I WAY prefer it to Shure SE530 and even over EarSonic SM3. No kidding.  I must have an ear-brain system tuned for dyn's. The 530's are very unrefined & have awful cable, while SM3 lack PRAT and get congested when harmonics get complex. The silicone double-flange that comes with the R8 is decent, but I can also use my IE-8's tips as well as Shure E2C (a dyn Shure and their best IEM IMO, BTW ;).

 

About the R8's cable ... the best I've encountered in an IEM ... its super thin/lightweight/non-microphonic....dunno how durable in the long run, but I even prefer it to IE-8s cable.

 

BTW ... anyone know who this IEM's OEM is? I've seen the packaged Cube 30 IEM on ClieOS's review list, and that looks VERY similar ...

So WHO (OEM) makes lil' GEMS ... errr ... IEMS ;) 

(Don't you love acronyms?!)
