yeah who knows, I think they supposedly worried about sound over build, though sort of thing I'd have to hear myself. Digging tose pads though.
 
Any new IEM's yet anyone?   c'mon don't keep us all waiting. 
 
Maybe they used the Financial Compensation for that graph like many others do

Hey Nick! What happened is that I somehow ended up with dusty headphones that some consider to be the best vintage (pre 1980) headphones! :)

I'll have to use these now i suppose.
 
 
Find me some interesting iems.  Would you consider those VSD's to be worthy stlll.(<poor phrasing ready to get flamed. ) Was eyeing up those limited edition ones @ 80 ohms.  My auditory memory is untrustworthy except in regards to the CKS1000, and i realize you have the VSD1, so are they better sound quality than the Lethals and how close to the CKS, roughly of course. I do realize the VSD limited's are going to be different slightly.  
 
Sort of the only baselines I can share with what you have. Anything there is appreciated.  Shipping is going to make or break that I have a feeling. Also the $65 FXT90 sale is weighing heavily.

  That sounds sweet, looks sweet as well. Keep updating!
Did you try cracking the thing open (I see there are screws) and seeing what sort of damping, if any, they have on the cup enclosure? Something about the looks of the inside reminds me of my HD428s....

The MA750i isn't the best earphone I own right now, but it is one of the best in having great synergy with the DX50 DAP.

Which earphones do you own right now that are better than the ma750i?

 
Universals I own right now that I think are better than the MA750i (overall, because some earphones are better than others in certain areas):
 
Cardas EM5813,
M-200
DN-1000
 
 
 
The S2 and CKS1000 are a little less to my ears, but still very good IEMs.

They put a bit of thought into the damned things, it seems. Hmm.
I can't see if that's a sealed tube or something else, the pic is a bit blurry towards the left.
Also in the Japanese version - they say there's a dip between 1万4000~1万Hz (14kHz to10kHz)...that's an interesting way of putting it :p I guess they go from right to left on everything....

Hey mochill, did you ever try the CKS1000?

You said that you "need a detailed iem with amazing bass texture and huuuge airy soundstage", and the cks1000's fit the bill imo.

It would appear to be notched in the left side. Now for the dumb question is that front or back?

the C3 is a marvelous dap, especiqially for the $100 price on ebay.  also well made and gorgeous
the sq is what is most amazing. different than the x1 and maybe clearer.  but the software sucks
and must be constatly renavigated to play what you want.  but all in all worth the trouble and 
a keeper....
