Is this a good deal, or can I get something better for the price? They are used (bought in 2013, authentic). People are going crazy after FH5 and OH10. I feel like the resale price for these will be much higher anyway. What do you guys think?

 

[PointyFox]

I'd be very wary. Most of them are fakes, with used authentic ones going for around $180-$230 on eBay and new "authentic" (fake) ones going for about $70-$120.

I'm pretty sure their authentic, he bought them in 2013 when the price wasn't stupidly high. It was a bid at first, but I've emailed him and negociated the price, maybe even lower than $250, I'll be careful tho. How do you think they stack up to like the SE425's?

I wouldn't recommend Shure iems except for the electrostatic ones. Also I wouldn't want a ie800 because it doesn't have a replaceable cable. I think my $220 qdc Neptune iems are about on par with the SE846.

Yeah, no one really likes Shure iems. Aren't the mids top notch? Also, what should I get for under $300? Really small chi-fi selection in Poland.

 

[PointyFox]

I'd personally recommend qdc Neptune or BGVP DM6 at around 200 USD.

The Moondrop KXXS have wonderful mids and i think they're quite easily bought in Poland, there's def some vendors on eBay selling them from there.

Also, i detest eBayers selling fake Shures and Senns. But eBay don't care as long as there are poor gullible buyers thinking they've got themselves a bargain. Best to check their selling history and see if they've sold more than one cos chances of someone who is not a big retailer having more than one IE800 for example should be suspect.

Thing is they are so easy to buy from China... even Aliexpress have no shame...
