Whoa, wait, what? Fiio is rebranding Titan 1? http://www.shenzhenaudio.com/fiio-ex1-hifi-high-professional-dynamic-in-ear-earphones-headphones.html

Fiio's version
-new cable
-SPL 102dB vs 90dB @1mW
(-serial number?)

That's a huge increase in sensitivity, I wonder if they use an entirely different driver?

No info on Fiio's website yet other than "coming soon".
If you look carefully at the photos on Shenzhen, you can see that it says Fiio on the outside of the earpiece and Dunu on the inside.

 Piston 3 or Piston 3 Youth Edition (cheaper, plastic body but same driver)

How do the pistons and the bette hybrids compare? I saw your review of the Bette and they seem a godsend

I don't have a lot of experience with the piston 3 (about 3 hours on a loaner) so take this with a grain of salt:

The Bette has less bass, especially mid-bass, and a touch more in the high-midrange/low treble. Clarity is similar but the Bette has more detail. Soundstage is a bit bigger on the Bette and imaging is a bit better as well.

Anyone tried this before? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/free-shipping-diy-handmade-earphone-in-ear-hook-headphone-with-Four-units-MicroDrivers-se535-Housing-shell/32296042540.html seems interesting.. The 30 days warranty is a let down though..

I have the Bette Hybrid 10mm on order.

I'll post up a review when it comes in a few weeks. I ordered here:

Bette hybrids and KZ ATE and ED9 seem to be the latest talk of the town, depends on how long you've managed to stay away

Senmai SM-HD900

Senmai is another brand unknown to us in the US, but they put out some very good quality sets. I just got the Senmai SM-HD900 in today, and I'm liking it the best over all the other Senmai models I tried, which were also pretty good (SM-HD800 (vocals, light bass), SM-HP8 (DJ, bass).







Right out of the box, I don't find anything recessed. Mids are actually pushed forward a bit, but the bass is still nicely present. Treble is well extended, and there is no noticeable bass bleed. Everything is clear. If the mids even out a bit, these could be a killer set.

Comes with 2 cables, a coiled cable, and a separate cable with remote and mic for mobile use.

The box says active noise cancellation, but there are no batteries? Unless there is some magic tech going on, I doubt these are truly active. They do block out noise extremely well however.

$70... so far the Martin Logan Mikros 90 closeout is beating these on value, but these are very, very good right out of the box. Going to update after more burn in.
