  Hey who here has the Koss kde250? What does it sound like?

 
If you ever get a good fit, the sound signature is somewhat mildly V-shaped with really good detail and a decent (*not large by any mean) bass impact. However the key words here are 'good fir' as it has exceptionally bad ergonomics.
 
Yes that is what the grill on the new Masya look like.

While the original Masya both normal and carbon fiber version have a different grills (with holes all over it) and sometime come in different color also but they sound exactly the same.

I also believe that The new Masya and the original Masya have a different drivers too. As they sound too much different as well as the original one is a lot easier to drive (25% volume on the original one is as loud as ~40℅ on the new Masya).

 
Asked Rose Tech yesterday and they said the drivers are the same.

Thank you very much for the information ClieOS.

Although I still wonder why Rose Tech decided to changed sound signature of the new Masya that much. Personally I love how the original version sound but kinda hate the new one.

I wonder about the same thing. Might have to pick a pair up and listen for myself.

I am new to this thread, interesting to read these comments. I have some Masya on the way, as I looking to try a nicer pair of buds. Also looking to try K's 500 ohm. I have a decent set of Grados I'd like to replace for listening at the office, if I can find something satisfying.
 
Was originally debating the Yuin PK1, but these others caught my attention. Any thoughts on the PK1 compared to these newer models?
 
Thx in advance, crazy amount of knowledge in this thread. Cheers.

I'm under the impression that pk1 has a pretty large soundstage, but somewhere I read that shozy bk does not excel in that particular field, isn't that so?

I just saw an ebay notification that a sennheiser mx980 is on sale
 
just a fyi, the starting bid is at 100 euros and there is a buy now option at 400 euros
 
it seems to be brand new in the box, if that's any consolation to the high bidding price
 
edit, forgot the link

Of all my buds (insane amount) only 4 are in regular rotation.
 
Bhobuds MAG7
Recabled 1994 Sony
Cygnus
Blox B320
 
And when I get it back, Asura 2.0 replacement will be the fifth. I love the Asura 2.0 more than it makes sense.
 
Everything else I have gets used maybe one a week.... if that. And the B320 replaced any other mid focus bud I have.


Glad to see some love for the Cygnus.... they sound wonderful with my iPhone!

I only know of tdk eb90 with sensitivity of 85dB ± 3dB (@1KHz) either that or generic earbuds like idigital (nope they have 100db)
