I just came in to have a little chat, and it's not even 30mins yet but I'm already considering getting the Doppios.

Truly, a formidable thread.

How about the fx850

Those too, and the H3, And probably throw in the SRH for good measure.

no ath-im02 love either eh? 

 
I kid!

Ds, what would be a good IEM under $150 that would be a great alternate to the H3. I'm looking into getting a budget rig to bring on campus on a daily basis.

I was thinking GR07 BE? Been a while since I last had them... so can't remember how its sig compares to the H3 and 1540.

Any feedback will be appreciated. Love you guys

Don't know. Actually. I am gonna have them new fandangled Fostex TE-05s in my ears soon. Will report how they do. More neutral in flavor but the guys seem to like them. Then there is the ATH-IM70 for around a $110 or so. earfonia was saying he liked his IM50 more than the GR07 BE..

no ath-im02 love either eh? :rolleyes:

I kid!

Lol. I'm more interested in the IM50/IM70 Balanced ones. I need to get myself a pair of those too, now that you mention it.

Anyone have tip recommendations for Astrotec AX30?  I've tried stock tips and the other tips that I have and they aren't giving me the bass that is described.  I have Sony Hybrids on the way.

Order some UE900 tips.

Ordered them, came in yesterday, got me. Really nice seal on the Heaven Vs. sounded great with a hi-Rez live Joel Frahm concert download from HDTracks....thanks, as nor who always is struggling for good fit, this was a really great find)

So do your H3's trump your SM64?

So I briefly A/Bed the ckn70 and Doppios, and I was right. There is more sub bassin the Doppio. And it's a better detailed and punchier bass. As a matter of fact, the imaging, clarity and separation in the Doppio slays the ckn70, and I always thought the AT was very good in those categories. So I see why I love the dual BA of the Doppio so much now. And still, the V is another level too. Funny how the TE-05 sounds very hybrid-like, and the V BA (and Doppio to some extent) sound very dynamic-like.

Nice one. Would you still put the IM70 around the same level SQ wise as the Doppios and TE-05?

Sound quality-wise, yes, but they don't sound the same at all. So one or two still may not be for you. And I've already went into length in describing the sound of each one (along with others), so you have to do your research.

Nice! Yes, the UE900 silicon tips are my main "go-to" tips for almost all of my earphones.

I love the Heavens' wide bore tips, no other tips sound as good on the Heavens.

For inexpensive iems, I'd always go with Monster Gratitudes

Yeah I have read your impressions on each, was just making sure your opinion was the same, thanks.
