Those CKN70s are good for the money but they are not really that special, sorry to break it to ya' meng. The RHA MA350s i won from Ds S500 contest can more than hang with those 70s. Just re-listened to them recently and they are a mighty good iem for $40. Pretty close to the CKN70s and is also a great upgrade to the FX40s if people are looking for one. Plus their treble is much easier on the ears.
 
Didn't my modded set of S400s teach you anything??? You know what's up when you heard it. hoho Don't doubt the troll man meng.

I never once felt floored by the CKN70s nor couldn't stop listening to them when i had it, but my modded corecools i couldn't stop listening to them for most of the day. This tells me something, maybe i am full of sh!T but it sure ain't these corecools. They might be filled with lead and other delicious poisons though since they are from China afterall. HE HE HE.

   ...so you gotta hear them soon.
 
You know what ?  ...I think you got a faulty pair of them ckn70, they start out with really bright highs but tame down after 300hrs, there are many here who love them, including me (notwithstanding the crappy cable)

The CKN70s really are something. They make my S500s sounds kinda dull (never thought I'd say that).

I will get to hear those Bassos soon, gonna get them for an audition.
 
Nah, the harsh treble on my set was already tamed due to the crazy amount of intense burn-in i put them through (probably more than 1 and half months), but it is not as smooth as it should be due to some peakiness here and there.  The CKN70s are good no doubt but their sound is just not that special to me unlike the FXZ200 or the gr07 BEs (i think i now prefer things that are more natural/realistic sounding in their presentation). Even my modded set of corecool sounds more unique to me. The corecools stock is good but has some serious sonic flaws that i will mention later on. Need to test them out more, but i really don't want to remove my mod on them. haha

anyone tried the TDK TH-EC200?

 
I have and loved it (so did my 2 daughters).
 
Over here in SG, they're going for like S$18.00 (US$14)
They are to trebleheads what the SHE3580 are for bassheads, EC200 have taught me to appreciate neutral signature iems and micro details leading to the Vsonic gr07be.
(Basshead are advise to stay away from this one)
 
Speaking of Vsonic, I've met up with the nice gentleman who runs Lend me your ears, they're a completely legit setup who'll stand 100% behind their products.
Good to know that he's also an avid audiophile enthusiast himself as we discussed the various iems, he recommended the VC02 to me as it has a different signature to any of the iems in my procession. What a revelation !   ...it's like I've been eating beef burgers my whole life and suddenly tried sushi !    ...bass are polite
wink.gif
  ...but the mids and high are at another level.
Vocals sounds like she is singing besides you and the micro details in the highs is the first time I'm hearing them.
 
The Vsonic VC02 are a very refined version of them TDK TH-EC200.

DO IT !    ...before they get outta FOTM !

Natural and realistic ?  ....that'll be the VC02 !   ...but you got to listen with an open mind, they sound like they got faulty bass until you realise just how realistic the mids and trebles are.
 
@Boleh,
Bro, this may just be the iem we're discussing for female vocals.
Lets organise meetup !

Hi guys, need some comparison btw the CKS99 and CKS1000. I read that the Carbo Basso has a similar sound sig to the 1000 but would appreciate some comparison with the CKS99.

Thanks in advance.

Just out of curiosity, how long did the carbo basso's  to arrive from amazon.jp. Has anyone considered a group-buy? i'm not sure if it would come down any cheaper though.


Took about a week for my Tenore to come from Amazon JP to UK, including Tenso turnaround. Which was very fast!
