Mysterious Focalprice IEM's = AMAZING! Impressions and comparisons inside - Page 6

Of course, I know the black & matte is very likely to sound the same as the white & glossy, but you never know, a slight change in materials could lead to a perceivable change in sound. This is why I ask someone who owns both.

I didn't order CK-700 black. The black I mentioned were CK-800 & they are pure ****. All are **** except CK-700.

@nipit: Oh, I see. Thank you for the answer.

Call me crazy, but I like these cheapos more than Meelectronics A151.

I understand what you mean. I hardly touch my Meelec M6 since i got the CK-700. Such fun iem it has proved to be. With my ZO2 ver.1, it sounds even better. ZO opens up the soundstage a lot more but hardly distorts even at it's highest settings with my RB Sansa Fuze 8gb source.

recieved them today (white)

they sound totally fanatstic to my ears. deeeeep bass, bright and detailed. nice fit too and good quality housing. can only compare them to some $40 sony iems i bought a few years back - no comparison. im really curious as to how they compare to good $100+ iems :)

if someone finds another mysteriously cheap and good iem i'm in!

Without a doubt my pick of the bunch, i laughed when i saw 10-20000Hz but these really do go low on the bass.

Aren't they the same as CK-700?

I thought they were, just being CK-M700 instead of 700, maybe just a minor thing different about them until i saw the specs plus they are quite a bit smaller than the CK-700:

Impedance - CK-700: 18ohms    CK-M700: 40ohms

Frequency Response - CK-700: 20-20000    CK-M700: 10-20000

Sensitivity - CK-700: 90db    CK-M700: 106db

I picked up both and i like them both but prefer the M700.
 

Looks like CK-M700 has different kind of cable too.

Do CK-M700 and CK-700 share the same sound signature?

Yeah i think the cable is better on the M700, fabric and no microphonics at all.

I think the sound is quite a bit different, first impressions are that the M700 has a less harsh treble than the 700, definitely seems to be bass focused, i still like the highs though but overall not as clear as the 700. I think they improve with an amp as well, makes it a bit more clear and tightens up the bass.

I am not sure I would dare wearing those red 'crystal decorated' CK-M700 in public, though.

Black ones aren't CK-M700. Black&White=CK-700 Red=CK-M700. Black ones are most likely the same as the white ones.
