Did a thorough comparison with my friends Sennheiser HD448 and CX300-II today. Impressions below:

 

Sennheiser CX300-II

Very muddy bass and rolled off treble with an overly warm presentation. The Ck-700 is substantially better overall.

 

Sennheiser HD448

No comparison in regards to bass, the CK-700 has heaps more bass, with unbelievable quality to match. Soundstage seemed wider with the CK-700 blink.gif. Treble and clarity were about equal (both excellent). To me the CK-700 seemed less colored, though I did like the HD448’s warm signature, and lack of sibilance.

 

 

Harshness/sibilance is still a problem, though I think I may be more sensitive to it than others.  Shoving some polyfill down the tips seems to fix it =]

 

These things still continue to impress me. “Bliss – Quiet Letters” sound amazing on theseo2smile.gif.

Sorry but this seems like a scam to me...

EX300's for $10?

That doesn't exist surely?

 

(I know these aren't the earphones in question) but just for a moment, take a look at their other earphones they offer...

Either are fakes, or just scamming people's money.

 

I can/could/probably am wrong, please correct me if I am.

Why do I get the feeling we are about to see Focalprice vs Monoprice 8320 shootout pretty soon? 

 

Is this a new trend? <$10 IEMs?

Most of the time, you get what you pay for.

That sounds like a deal that might be too good to be true.  Then again I thought I had a great deal on my HF3 paying $77.

I like the look of the CK-820, but I don't seem them anywhere... Expecially not in green >:

Think the diffrent models sound particularly diffrent from the initially brought up CK-700?

I think it is pretty well known that these are all fakes.  notice on their site that they specify "genuine" on some of them, particularly soundmagic products.  I think the safe assumption is that they are fake unless otherwise stated.  That doesnt mean they are all terrible though.  Its kind a crapshoot.  like a fun little scavenger hunt.
