  I think you fellas won't be seeing me post too much anymore. It's been an outstanding journey, but I think I'm done searching for that "IT" earphone. Between the FX850, H3, TE-05, Heaven V, Doppios, IM70, Cardas, M200, and my customs, I've pretty much covered the gamut of the sound signatures I love and wanted. Now it's time for more listening.
I think I'm pretty happy headphones-wise too with the On1, X1, HP50, Mikros 90, M500, WS99 and Onkyo. So I'll be around, but not that much. Happy listening fellas! 

 

 
You made a post almost identical to this about a year ago, I kid you not.

exactly. He's done.... for the time being. Once upgraditis strikes again, he'll be back.

  What would make IEMs "prohibited"?
It's their business to sell exclusive Japanese products, what's so different about the Doppios?

 
Starting to think that they have an agreement with AT. They even have a special points offer now on AT(10x the points on AT purchases). So, AT might prohibit them from selling competing products.
 
 
 
Happy listening Eric! Eric will need a new hobby then. Archery? Stock car racing maybe? Creating custom gifs for the master troll? Who knows, there is a whole world out there.

You might be right. Their headphones section is almost exclusively AT.

I ordered doppios and fostex thru amazon/tenso....should be here thur I beleive

Looking forward to your Te-05 vs Doppio comparison.

 

[Dsnuts]

Te-05 and Doppios are playing on a very similar sound level. The TE-05s have a touch smoother presentation and has a bit more emphasis on the lower mids to bass region while the Doppios have more empahsis torwards the upper mids lower treble region with a touch more treble emphasis overall.  Both extend very well on each end of the spectrum. The Doppios more so in the treble region the Te-05 more so in the deep bass region..Both are not lacking on the opposite regions however.
 
Both are neutral and have great detail and energy...If treble and upper detail/ and female vocals was your thing. the Doppios. If bass is a part of your music and enjoy male vocals the TE-05s..  Either way both are outstanding.
 
One is a dual BA and one is an outstanding single dynamic that has just as much detail as a BA.

How do the doppios and te-05 handle this song in the subbass department?
 
Edit: on another note, Glad you found the iem + headphone team to keep you company for half of the year,
 
We know you'll find something appealing sooner or later, lol!
 
Anyways, can't wait to read your reviews, especially that of the thinksound on1, try to hype those iem+hps you have! 
 
Don't stay up all night reviewing each!

Just saw email from CDJapan, seems Doppios are on "prohibited list", can't fulfill the order, have to be Doppio-less for now, I guess...I think it is a message, devine intervention (I'm sure he//she is paying close attention to my headphone mania)

It's all good

Gotta go work...

I don't know why, here's the email they sent me

We appreciate your understanding in this matter
and apologize for any inconvenience caused.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

The links list all sorts of stuff (things like "radioactive materials", which had me TERRIBLY disappointed), they do list consumer electronics there in a general way (think the lists allow them to exclude anything they want). AT stuff may be the reason, I don't know.[/COLOR]

Eric, have fun with your stuff...see if you can hold off Audiophilia Nervosa, subcategory Headphonitis Ad-Infinitum, with upgraditis superimposed!!! I agree, music listening is the ultimate reason for all this craziness...for myself, I have to say that I have found and listened to more new music, and enjoyed it immensely, since I started the headphone craziness (call it a positive side effect...). Hope you'll drop by and post when you get the chance...posts about good music you've discovered are as welcome (at least by me) as the latest, greatest iem!
Take care.

Like this music, don't have the Doppios (see above), sounds good on the computer, though!

Definitely good, can't let go of this song either, especially since it does test the subbass at 20hz or so.
 
Glad you like it! I barely had time to get this song up here, hopefully I can catch up with everything on here.

Just arrived today, nice package, soft, leatherette case (light, doesn't seem too protective). One nice touch: an extra headband is included (unusual in my limited experience...sometimes I've seen extra ear pads, extra cables, but the metal band replacement is neat).

Throw them on and have a 1st listen in a bit...will need to wait for burn in (lots of competition on the burn-in-rack, Sony H3 has it now)
Later...

my HK CLs are burning in nicely  ager 2 days bass is much smoother, vocals silkier and have very nice sound. very promising, especially for 64$ sale price.
worth the investment by far i think so far.....
