I might as well. The red is nice and the price should be less than $50 at some places even at release. I am more interested since they are around the ear.
 
There is also a new FX32 marshmallow coming as well. Not exciting but $15 and look to be easy to fit. Could be good beaters.

  These sound great for Rock genres and sibilance is only heard on bad recordings where I know there is sibilance no matter what phone I listen to the track with so these won't emphasize the highs to the point of added sibilance. Plus great news. No driver flex of any kind was detected when trying out over 10 plus pairs of tips on these. The build on these means these are gonna last.
 
These are no where near a reference type sound but they are small, light, built very well, no annoying cord problems, and best of all they sound way better than they look. $20 is tax on many earphones I buy.. A complete no brainer.. Not too many phones comes out sounding like these if at all for the cost with the build..

Thanks for the info! Also I feel relieved that driver flex doesn't exist, I have zero tolerance after the Basso's fiasco.
Does anyone know when the pre-order period ends? I could wait a couple days more since they will not ship earlier than the 25th.

Ya you know what. Every time I listen to these Deltas I am so impressed. These easily has better dynamics over the previous cheapos..The bass is actually very good on these too not light not heavy just right falls in line with the rest of the sound.
 
The sound is very satisfactory..The dynamics adjust to the tune and that is one thing I look for in a good iem..Kinda like a little brother of the S2 in sound. Sounds fantastic on the X3.

  Ok he is gonna dig the Onkyos. I would suggest at least 200 hours of burn in. I am continuing to burn my pair and knock out the 200. Will probably add a bit more just for good measure. These titanium drivers seem to be pretty stiff.
 
Might have a little surprise for ya'll on Monday..Stay tuned.

thats a lot of hours! im burning mine in now, hopefully they will turn out to be real nice. the cks1000 seem more balanced in comparrison, surprisingly balanced phones sometimes the ATH are.
the S2 impresses more than the onyko ATM, im thinking they are keepers.

That comment was regarding the headphones and their titanium 40mm drivers don't know if that is what you ended up getting but the headphones are truly exceptional. I wish Onkyo made the name different from the earphones and the headphones IE-HF300 and ES-HF300.. Seriously which one is what.Lol. Who picks the names for these headphones anyway.

Okay, so I saw these a while back...


Koss' new budget cheapie $10 in-ear, the KEB6K. Today I saw them for $5 total shipped so I grabbed a pair. Why not? $5, they have the Koss lifetime warranty, and these have a 13mm driver which I had before in a pair of Koss earbuds and they were really good outside of lacking bass quantity. I figure these"enhanced drivers" might be the same and now capped will give enough bass. Worth a shot for $5.
 
Google Search brought them up for $5 total at United Pet Solutions.

Which begs the question, what is a Supremus, anyway (I am down on my knees, properly prostrated)
