  I have the  "  qian 39 High Quality Headphones Earbud  " which is a more treble orientated bud in the same price range. For the price, I found it to represent excellent value for money, possessing a high level of detail retrieval  and a good soundstage. On the other hand they lacked bass; but this was acknowledged in the seller's product description - so that was fine.

 
It is the ideal sound signature for me (high detail, clear sound). I guess that Qian 25 is bass oriented and Qian 39 is treble oriented. Have I understood correctly?


Yes I think so; althoughI haven't tried the Quian 25.  Bear in mind the quian 39 is good for the price . If you're willing to pay AU $47 for the 2016 Go Pro Music Maker Ting  you'll certainly get a more refined and balanced earbud .

 
Thank you very much. Where can I get Ting for AU $47?

Guys, little off topic, i ordered one more Xduoo X3 to gift to lit bro.
When i was using with my Monk+ yesterday, i felt it's a little under powered.
Obviously i can't company my chord Mojo to X3. 
I wanna know, when should i use than Gain(+6 db) option and also which DAC filter should i use ?
All Xduoo X3 users, if you can share your experience, it will be great help, thank you.

My bro is not tech savy, so i don't want to change it. Any other tip on existing OS ?

*Warning Pic heavy post
So, the mailman decided to pay my uni a visit today.

 Look at what he brought from China:

 
First off, my "burn in machine".

A WMA and MP3 player with 70Hours of runtime. DQ280.
It can with USB cable, Instructions and a set of-earbuds.
 
Next up, a pair of spare Koss Vintage earbuds:

 
Close up

I may just recable these since these are spares.
 
Moving on the legendary Monks (+):

Very interesting packaging I must say.

Then the SeaHF 320Ohms ver 1.0 custom tuned by bug bro:

 

One thing I must mention about SeaHF, the amount of foams provided by the guy is absolutely insane (to me at least). I had to use a pen and paper to properly jolt down how many pairs of foams was included.

The total number came at a total of 15 PAIRS OF HOLE FOAMS and 18 PAIRS OF FULL FOAMS!  (Shozy you hear that?)
 
Finally, here are the new budget earphone I bought from:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.OvJSGA&id=529399390775&_u=32i926dj23e0
 

 
The price of these are RMB24.10 (excluding shipping) with the included accessories as pictured above. Once again, the earbuds are made by SeaHf but sold under the name of "Ty Hi-Z" with different tunning. The price of the buds are cheaper than the Monks RMB25.10 (excluding shipping).

Interestingly, I only bought a pair of the bud, but the seller sent me 2 pairs with full accessories!!!!!
Will be comparing these to the Monks+ after some burn in.

Here's a link for the Ting Go Pro Music Maker. I have and am impressed by the Tomahawk which is similarly priced but I understand the Ting is more neutral/musical.

After years of throwing away every earbud that i got with portable players, i finally wanted to try some earbuds again, since my Shure IEM´s have a very closed sound, and feels strange to use indoors.
 
I got recommendations from head-fi to buy the Tomahawk, and today they arrived, and i love them already. Everything from the sound signature to the shrunken Grado sr60 design.
They were better than i expected.

Isn't the green Ting different than the red Ting? 

 

[BloodyPenguin]

Yes, they are tuned differently.  From what I have read, the Green has a little less bass and some other tweaks in the signature.

I should have a pair of the Green Ting for myself in the next few months, unfortunately I will not be getting them anytime soon to compare.
 

Though, if I do get my hands on a pair, I will post up my thoughts of them.

Guys, help needed, do you think I have a pair of busted Monks +? I feel the Monk+ has a tendency to echo on the upper frequencies.

idk if it's like the Zen 2 which has the same kind of housing, those have some weird acoustic resonance thing going on... wouldn't describe it as echo, more like their timbre.

PR1 vs Monk

PR1 vs Monk

 
I wonder who gives it the name PR1. I think Pai Audio just calls it 3.14 Flat.
