You recommending the scratched or non-scratched version of the X2

 jk DJ

 
Wonder how the Moxpad stacks up against the **** UE's as another changeable cable option? I personally have never heard the Mox's but I do have a pair of **** UE's coming with the 4 core silver

 (I thought I said I was through ordering iem's week before last)

 
 
While I'm here I just have to post this link because I think this truly is one of the best bargain's out there

Don't. A source close to me knows they're just badly made poor quality mediocre sounding IEMs. (at least the moxpad x6)

Hello guys, long time lurker, first time poster here. I bought KZ ATE based on opinions posted here and love them! The sad thing is I like their sound more than my Bose ie2 and AE2 which cost 10 times more. I am really in love with ATE sound. I also bought Moxpad X6 for their changeable cable, but the sound is awfull, lack of bass and too much treble. Maybe longer burn in is needed, I let them burn in for only about 3 hours.

I would like to ask you for help. I would like to up my IEM game, so I am looking for some over the ear chinese earphones with changeable cable with 40-45USD budget and budget DAP. My actual choice would be FiiO M3 or Newsmy A33. Or is there any better bang for buck DAP in this price range? Thank you for help.

Personally I feel that the Fiio M3, while small and cute, does lack power somewhat and sounds a little anemic. Can't fault it for its size and weight though. UI is from Fiio and their experience shows. Even the Xduoo X3 looks a little less refined.

For iems, maybe the **** UE that goodluck4u pointed out? Reportedly good soundstage and separation on that.
Or the **** DT2 with its unfatiguing, slightly middish sound signature.

Or a Havi B3 Pro 1. You'll never go wrong with it.

FINALLY someone came up with a secure Standoff!!!  Maybe they should sell the design to Zero Audio?

 
Those look interesting as hell.
 
Is there an English translation somewhere Igor? I'd love to see specs on those.

I'm looking for something better than the Takstar Pro 80/Gemini HSR-1000.  So are the Somic MH463 still one of the best buys at around $50?  I saw someone write about the Somic V2 earlier.

If you're looking for something significantly better than the Pro80's I think you may have to step up in price. Some Somic and Superlux offerings will perform on the same level but be more of sidegrades I'd guess.

Are you looking for closed or open?

I saw the graph and was like "WHOA"

Yep, definitely a bass-heavy consumer sound, which is however well-made for what it is (no unnecessary ground-tone/lower midrange bloom).

That's not what I wanted to hear   How much more in price are we talking about here?
 
I'm open to either; don't need to worry about sound leakage.

If you're lucky you might enjoy some of the other offerings in the same price range more but I don't think you'll find anything obviously technical better without spending more.

I don't have much experience with closed headphones over $100 (other than auditions) since I prefer open ones. For open the Fidelio X2 would be a significant upgrade, the K7XX also get a lot of praise but I haven't heard them myself (I own only the Q701 and would consider them a significant upgrade as well).

All of these has been available for less than $200 recently.....

I had exactly that reaction to the moxpad x6 with the stock biflange tips. However, if you change those out, the base comes back in admirable quantity, if not quite the clarity of the rock Zircon but way better than my previous mee audio m6. I used the kz foamy tips and the blue swirls before I settled on some homebrew tips cut from some earplugs to achieve a tighter seal. A little experimentation will be very rewarding.
