It really does and I can't have that awful noise coming from such a wonderful sounding IEM but at least the mids didn't sound like a 1920's AM radio.

Why are you thinking of selling them if you don't mind me asking?

 

They really do sound awesome and the more I listen to them and then go back and listen to the SM3 (before I mail them to the guy that bought them) I always come out liking the sound quality and signature of the e-Q5 over the SM3.  I can honestly say that I didn't expect the e-Q5 to equal and even surpass the SM3 in sound quality at times.

I really don't use them enough mate and want them to go to a good home.

Plus, I'm pretty sure that I prefer micro-driver IEMs now like the Yamaha EPH-100 and ATH CKN70. Mainly for their speed, accuracy and resolution.

Will be putting up my e-Q5 for sale on Head-Fi today.

H20, yes, i am not going follow you in this as that involves too many in and out trades for which i have no time.

however one idea i am toying is purchasing AK100 + T1 :-))))))))))))))

people praise T1 a lot and this is not overly expensive like The International or Pico Slim or Predator.

yes, i still wait for my RDB+, takes time from manufacturer, i am sure to love them and when have them will share my impression. i hope RDB+ will be a final stop for me.

as for CK4+ as much as i wish to buy it i found too many quality issues people write about in various forums. so i gladly use C3 which i find to be worth every penny. Rocoo isa  nice player but not cheap and AK100 seems to be a nicer one and amped should have no issues with IEMs. sure AK100 is more expensive but paying once is better than paying twice and Rocoo lacks some features and UI friendliness.

in the end i believe C3 + BH is a great combo... problem is this nice combo made me even more curious and as you know curiousity killed a cat... in my case the cat is my wallet

NB: never could understand why Kova says C3 lacks synergy with BH, but when i have more gadgets to play around perhaps i can see if he was right or not. until now my C3+BH+EB50 is all great sounding that i hardly can wish more for this money.

What you mentioned about the speed, accuracy and resolution is exactly what I get from the e-Q5, I liked the EPH-100 but it sounded a bit subdued and the highs had a metallic tinge to them.  We all have are preferences though and I almost bought a pair of the AT CKN70 2 weeks ago.

i just tried both outputs on my BH... one word WoW...

first i compared hissing out1 vs. out2.

in my BH out2 was cleaner even with high gain ... and with gain off out2 was dead silent at half volume and only minor hissing at full volume

out1 hissing clearly audible with high gain, with gain Off hissing is less audible but still there.

to me it appears out2 is cleaner compared ot out1.

soundwise, i found out2 most clean and nice sounding when Gain, LF and SF buttons are switched OFF.

sound is neutral and well layered but is somehow bit clinical or mechanical if you like.

i did not like Gain button engaged in out2.

out1 was more pleasing to my ear with Gain button engaged and LF On... as concerns SF it boils down to personal taste and type of music you listening. some people like SF On all the time.

out2 with disengaged Gain button is more refined and neutral, but is more pleasing when both SF and LF remain engaged (On)

funny, after listening to BH for several weeks i now begin to discover some new approach to listening and re-discover out2 which is not bad at all, actually for some people this might be even better sounding than out1, depends on IEMs or phones you using.

Hmm... I find them slow at times tho mate.

Like I said they really dont get enough use with me, especially for the price that I paid for them. So I want them to go to a good home.

Btw, I know what you mean about Yamaha's top end sounding a little metally. I dont really mind that though, to my ears it just adds a little crispness to the treble at times.

I really have fallen in love with the Yams. Hence why I wanna continue down the micro-driver road.

My next purchase will most likely be the ATH CKN70s, people seem to be loving them.

Well the C&C BH works great with the HE-400 and has plenty of power to make the headphones shine.  The HE-400 sound absolutely amazing and if you have never heard a good set of headphones like me your missing out because no IEM I've heard has the over all quality that these do.

I live in Nevada and my BH only took about a week to arrive from pollychen

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.
