I haven't cehcked this thread in a while either.. i have been using the newer version(the one dBel's recommending) for the past few weeks(over 200 hours of playing time on these). IN that space of time, i have dropped them , pulled the wire quite aggressively (accidentally of course) and they still sound really really good. I have given up on the KSC75s as these beat the crap out of them, unamped even. My DAP goes waay longer when i am listening to these as they require very little volume on my DAP to sing.
Get the new version and you will not be disappointed...however one sour note is that the driver crinkles are still persistent on mine. The left one is more accentuated than the right one.

I use mine to commute to and from work everyday and they serve the purpose very well. Not once have I been tempted to go back to amped KSC75's. They are not in the league of my K501's but then I doubt any budget earphones are. I still recommend the iM-390's and would advise that people who want to hear them don't try for the cheapest deal as you will end up with the early version and possible disappointment..dB |
