808 sounds very good with those tips and things are nicely in balance, mids littlebit improved (brought into focus) and soundstage is very open but not thin and everything sounds very natural.
I think this is the best SQ I can get out of 808.
 
Sorry, no pics tonight. I`m tired and will take proper photo-shoot with better light conditions. Will post them here soon.
 
Edit: With those grey tips and modification, my FF-mod ATE and Yinjw WOM-mod are now dethroned!
Long live the new budget king - HLSX808 RAW-mod ("Red Ant" + Mahogany wood) 

 I think I will skip BK35 & BK50.

I am literally in tears.  

  Can't wait for the MOD picks! ......are you kidding me? That is brilliant choosing Red Ant/Mahogany Wood! I totally agree with you! I would skip the BK35's, but can't say the same for the BK50's.....I don't know anything about them, yet.

How long have you burned them in for? Any changes? Right now they almost sound like Dual Drivers with a little coherency issue. Also seem to get some driver flex or something, one side will be quieter til I fix the seal on the good side lol

Oh yeah, using my K4 right now, never used them with my X3II and E12. Sound is much better than the iPod Touch and E07K. Actually, they sound like the Letv Reverse I got but a smaller sound stage

Only a few hours since I just got them last night. I noticed some driver flex in the left side but it doesn't bother me as it's only when inserting them. I'm quite impressed so far tbh. Stock tips all too small for me unfortunately so I'm using my own

Listening to Kim Waters right now via my X3ii & E12, the sound is actually very good. They can be a bit bright though

Humm interesting, i need one pair of these instead bringing my ISK HD9999 for office use, i saw hyperx is not too expensive on AE tho. thanks man.

I will definitely look into those.

Anyone have any other suggestions for IEMs in the $120 range? So far I am looking into the DQSM D2 and the ATH-E40. I can find almost no information on the DQSM D2, and a decent amount of info on the ATH-E40.

The DQSM is very recently released. There should be a lot more impressions in a week or two when people start receiving them.

I've not heard the E40 but fwiw I do own CKR9, 10 and LTD and prefer the DQSM D2 to all of them. As always ymmw...

I have the HyperX too (non USB version). They have great sound compared to other gaming headsets and the build quality is superb. Mic is detachable also and they come with pleather and velour covers. On top of all that they're super comfortable.

Not very impressed by DHL at the moment.. Waiting (VERY impatiently.......) for my Little Dot I+ from Massdrop, and it's already been two weeks. Apparently (finally) arrived in my country the day before yesterday, but after that nothing.. Really hoping it will arrive today, otherwise I might not get in until Monday, which would be pretty annoying..

 

[nolife1123]

Yep, Hyperx Cloud II. I use them for gaming. Listened a little bit to music when I first got them and they are a bit bright. I'll give them another try in a bit though. I think these are basically the Takstar Pro80

Weren't they ruined a bit by Kingston when opposed to the Takstar Pro 80s? Read that the sound is different and not as neutral months ago.

Sorry, I don`t have time to take proper photo-shoot atm, too busy with work. You`ll have to do with those pics:

Wow CoiL those look amazing! First the Nuns now these... I'm really tempted in buying some 808 but those with that finish is leagues ahead! How is the SQ?

You are CoiL the Mod Master, respect man!

If You don`t have tips like those creative greys and don`t like slightly V-shaped sound - I would get BK35 or BK50 instead probably. Though, read more impressions on BK35, they are not so "hyped" in here and should have smoother highs. About RAW-mod SQ...

808 main "problem" with construction is in 808 too large aluminium housing and inconsistent vent hole pin-hole size (absence). It needs smaller concaved inner body and very small pin-hole (probably filter too) to get more balanced bass and front-nozzle venting must be closed to tighten things even more.
 
 
@ To.M ,thanks! I try my best

 

[B9Scrambler]

@CoiL I think that has to be one of your best mods yet. Looks very clean. Wow. Nice job man!

 

[CoiL]

tbh, it`s not my neatest mod (NUN-mod is) because it has one wood edge not 100% on level with metal edge but it is very tiny fault and doesn`t bother me

Not too sure. These are geared for gaming I guess though. Lows are strong but not overpowering, mids are Clear, highs are detailed though can get bright, soundstage is wide and open. Way better than my M50's even with the two ear pad mods. For gaming they are amazing, I can hear subtle sounds in Rb6 Siege
