Dsnuts have you found anything that isn't really bassy?

 
I think that dsnuts discovered the 8320's...

 
How much bass do you prefer? The Bassos bass is really nice, and not too overwhelming.

cheapest cks77x is available on cooljapannow.jp for $75 with worldwide shipping.

 

Does this require Tenso forwarding?

The CKN50 sounded kinda meh too me. Bass was too prominent.
 
My favorite budget IEM currently is the Monster N-ergy. Got it on clearance when it was still known under the N-Credible line before they phased it out.

My FXZ200s are done cuz of those corecools. LMAO, Mochill was right that they were special and it even surprised me how special they were.

So i'll give credit where credit is due, mochill my man you were right about this one as well, but maybe even you haven't fully understood/ heard the full potential of Chinese Cheapos/CoreCools/CCs.
 

 
... you know the routine by now.

How you selling those FXZ200s for old man?!

No, they are made from Carbon and Aluminium. Hence the look.

OK, I guess one has to see them in the flesh - on photos it really looks like they've just slapped a logo sticker on!

You just cannot grasp how good their build quality is until you hold them in your hand.

Def one of the best!

@DannyBai can confirm.

Those are pretty attractive. What do they sound like? Price point?
 
I don't believe in break-in, so don't tell me anything about that, please.

The Tenores have nice, round, articulated bass, which is not overwhelming. The have really nice detailing, and a soundstage that is crazy (I initially thought they might have a bit less tonal color than some other good iem's, but that was only initial impressions. Have to A-B them again one of these days, but sound is really nice). I mentioned the soon-to-be-discounted Audeo 132's earlier...I have spent a little time with them, and, at $80-100, depending on accessories, are a good buy imo. Bass is a bit recessed, but round and there. Detail is  crazy (looking at the thread on them, some feel they are "analytical", though Joker really liked them). What I really think is unique to them, is the comfort level of these babies. They are light, and have a shape that fits in my ears, and disappear more than any others I've tried. I fall asleep listening to iem's, and after a few seconds you don't know these are there (of course, different people have different ear shapes, your mileage may vary). The Tenores, by the way, are light and comfortable as well, but the Audeo is the most comfortable of my iem's.

 

[doctorjazz]

The Audeos are definitely not for bassheads, and my criticism is that I would like a bit more bass myself, but, if that's what you DON'T want, everything else is really nice for the price, and was recommended even at list price, $100 more.

They are worth at least 2 times the price.

 

[dnullify]

They don't call them the perfect fit earphone for nothing it seems.

Geez, I gotta get out if this thread. I really want to give the bassos a shot. It's a shame they're not importing them. I just wish I could audition them at some point.

I am a bit of a carbon fiber geek too...
