Just received the **** dt2+ and pt15 after 2 months of waiting.

Got one silver cable between them both but had a brief listen to both and am impressed.

Initial impressions don't seem to match some of the feedback I've heard so far;i.e. no bass on the pt15 and muddy sounding dt2+.

Agreed. Probably my most go-to IEM. The 13's are good, but if I want detail and precision I go right to the SWIII's. It kind of makes the TK13 superfluous.  But hold on.
 
The LZA4 are Diabolically Good....

I'm a little disappointed that everyone is having such good luck with the DT2+.

With all of the recent reviews saying they sound good, I'm fairly certain that I have one of the pairs with the blown BAs. I've asked Jim @ HCK a few times what can be done, and without me investing the $$ to ship them back, there's nothing he's going to do for me. He says "if yours is one of the affected, **** might reimburse your shipping". Well.. I can see how this will go. I ship them back, they say there's nothing wrong, and now I'm out another 50% of what I paid for the headphones in the first place.

No thanks HCK Jim. Also, no thanks ****. Disappointed that I have a pair of headphones they know are probably bad, and there's nothing I can do about it without spending more money.

Why do you think that your DT2+ is defective?

best is to go for established brands like Fidue, Dunu, QDC, FLC, Vsonic etc.
you pay for what you get i guess.
most of the impressions here are goal oriented which is why I don't follow this thread often already, for example, in the case, @toddy0191 think the dt2+ is bad after he got it due to good impressions.
my own experience is the lz a2s which sounds real bad.
cheers!

He's got a point. I don't own and haven't listened to any TOTL iems so my bar for what sounds good is pretty low compared to audio123. I even liked the LZ A2S which is what I think he was trying to say.

I know what i like though, and am a musician, music lover and production appreciater (whatever the hell that is).

As always this is a very subjective hobby and the differing views on the dt2+ may be down to either personal opinion or faulty BAs.

That sounds pretty bad. I'm not satisfied with my DT2+ either with all the poor QC though i think i do not face any blown BA issue but thank god i got the full refund. Sometimes it's more about the seller we're dealing with instead, from what i've seen so far HCK doesn't seem to care much about after sales service particularly when it comes to return/refund. Have you tried contacting **** directly instead to let them know the issue ?

With last minute details on the SENDIY M1221, I failed to mentioned that they definitely portray a sense of great 3D effects in combination with its soundstage. It's the only in-ear earphone that I have, or heard that does this so well. So, who ever purchased the M1221 and could add some feedback on what I've heard so far, it's well appreciated! I love that these are a combination of warm, but vividly clear sounding IEM's with excellent transparency. These are my personal best so far.
 
.....any more comments on the K1's or the Crazy Cello's for those who own them? Would like to hear more....!

Triple hybrid for $32:

http://penonaudio.com/SWING-EC1?search=Swing

First impression is pretty darn good. Nice deep, good quality bass. Liquid midrange and delicate but not harsh treble. Clarity and resolution is better than on anything else I've heard under $50 at least. Soundstage depth and height is better than width it has very nice timbre to the notes. They're extremely comfortable and isolation with triple flanges are very good. Build quality feels excellent as well. These have got great potential to be my new champion under $50.

Early days, ymmw, yada yada and all that......

The nozzle section looks identical to the d2+

Yes it does, good catch.

Unfortunately I don't have the DT2+, would probably be an interesting comparison.
