Guys, out of respect to the original manufacturers, please do not link to headphones that are a rip-off of brand-name ones. By doing so, you are contributing to screwing over the manufacturer and everyone who works for them who puts in a lot of time and effort to design, develop and make them to a high standard, which the manufacturer of the fakes does not do.

It's just a lil' something something we discovery bois likes to call leveling the playing field and settling the score for all the FOTM screwin' those BIG Brands has done to us. hoho

 
i jokes i jokes, but we do wish that those knockoff lookin' stuff is up to snuff with the real dealios, but sadly 99% of those bootlegs can't even compare. Though OEMs is another story, cuz most BIG BRAND NAMES outsource their stuff to Chinese factories and some of those factories end up stealing borrowing their techs, etc by wrapping them in a different package. That kinda stuff is in the grey area cuz they might not look like those BIG BRANDS but utilizes their tech/ sound so...... in order to save big guess that's just the price those BRAND NAMES has to pay to risk doing business in countries such as China where patents don't mean jack squat. Just look at the thriving bootleg cellphone industry there. LMAO

 
Anywho those OEM gems is another reason why this thread is call "discovery." 

  C'mon get with the program TOTL birdie and swoop down here once in a while to join us peons and have some FOTM funzies. 

Some gems might even make you sell off your beloved summit-fi precious. hoho
 
GET HYPED OR GO HOME!!!

Ostry makes everything sound in head except the jvc fx850

how are they compared to B3 Pro1?

 

[Bananiq]

^ I guess it can happen that the rip-off can sound actually better than "original", so why not. Like Bhazard preffered KZ-LP instead of the original V-Modas. In regards to the thread name, good rip-offs are discovery too.

.....Where can we buy the KZ-LP?
Thanks!

Better then the havi in every way possible

 

[huckfinn]

?

 

[ebrian]

I believe mochill is referring to the Ostry KC06 -- he is saying it is better in every way possible as compared to the Havi B3 Pro original.

 

[mochill]

Yes they are indeed

Hey, going to a Head-Fi, meet tomorrow, in Babylon NY (bit of a trek for me, but that's life)...never been to one,not sure what to expect. Gonna drag a lot of my stuff along, hopefully get to hear some other stuff I've been interested in.
Just took the AT IM70 off the burn in station...listening to hi-rez Greg Porter download, just a short time I have them on, but they really do rock. Bass bounces (AT can do bass RIGHT), nice mid/vocal presence, highs maybe recessed (sometimes takes me a while to get a handle on the sound of highs from my headphones), though I feel like cymbals should be more present on a jazz track, gotta hear them riiiiiiiide. Using Comply tips (generally a sign I had a hard time getting a good fit/seal), they may have to do with the highs, need to get back to tip rolling. Really do like the sound so far, though, looks like another keeper.

That should be fun to check out a meet.  Give us some impressions when you get back doc.  

 

[doctorjazz]

Yeah, changed to the Logitech tips EricP recommended, highs are back, nice fit/seal, good call by EricP (shout out!,). Much better than Comply's. More later...
