Yup - that could be it as well. The only way to know for sure is to send me your 40's for a while. Then I'll tell ya. smile.gif

LOL.

 

All I know is I'm selling all of my headphones except the 40's. Time to find a nice source and call it a day.

I just don't know how you could compare a quad driver balanced armature IEM to a single micro dynamic driver. 

 

The CKN70s sound amazing for their price and hit way above their price point, but let's be real.

Well some were saying that they perform 3x-4x their price. THought they might keep up but that's not the case.

I know everyone is excited to hype the 70s, (still waiting on mine), but I have no delusions about them out performing something like the 40. That being said, the signature is probably to your liking which makes them stand all the more. Gratz.
Now quickly flee before Head-Fi hype train gets going again to the next station.

Quad drivers doesn't necessarily make it better than a single dynamic driver.

You're right, just like speakers; a great sounding full range driver can sound more fluid than a 2 or 3 way whatever with crossovers.

 

Though, we are talking about small earphones that are using state of the art BA's. If he says its night and day, it probably is.

I know it's like comparing apples vs. oranges but I expected the single driver 70's to put up a fight. However, I think it def. deserves to be mentioned in the <$200 price point. As for the XBA-40's, they easily belong in the >$500 range (if amped properly).

Has anyone ever heard of the Britz Edifier H850? They go for $89.00 and look pretty decent.

That's my order for the CKN70 placed! biggrin.gif 

 

Using the Tenso method was pretty easy in the end and not as complicated as I thought it would be.

The wait for these killed me! You are going to be blown away, especially after some burn in. What type of music do you listen to?

+1. Burn in brings out the best in these phones.
