xears also has other interesting iem - woodynator. yeah the name is kinda stupid, but from their description, they should sound good:

Quote:

 
-10 mm Multiple Layer Diaphragm High-end Neodymium driver
- housing made of ebony


- punchy bass, crisp mids and crystal-clear highs

- high-end studio sound

- suitable for all styles of music from rock/pop, techno and classic music

 
 
dunno, sounds good to me. oh and also - these prices are MSRP, they are on sale for less than half the price (4 cores for example are 65 euros or smth like that on ebay)

Sorry, I do not have the M-Duos. Looking at pictures on MEElec site, the housing seems slightly different and the cable is not flat, so more similar to the corecool.
At $79 they look quite interesting.  

Ah ok
I dont think they are same IEMs just wanted to know whats better as I can get M Duos for same price as the non mention ables.

Well, the descriptions are meaningless except for the specs, almost every one of them says punchy bass, crisp mids and crystal-clear highs and speaks of 'ultra-highend sound'. But there are actually quite a few decent phones in there, and the newer ones have detachable cables (which was actually a really good idea considering that there had often been damaged cables in the past).

Yeah, I know marketing is quite deceiving sometimes, but the woodynators seem quite a good deal for 35 euros to me... I mean, for that kind of money, it shouldn't be that bad of a deal, right? have you had any kind of experience with these? if so, some impressions would be highly appreciated

I was considering buying them the other day, but I haven't heard them yet. I have the XE200PRO, and they have a very powerful bass, big soundstage, decent detail and quite sparkly treble. Definitely good for the (correct) price.

I posted posted opinions on Xears 4core, but some got lost with the pruning of the unmentionables. The Xears needed some burn in. Out of the box was just huge bass and nothing else. I'm at 100 hours now and I still don't think they're done. Triple flange Meelec tips help a lot to tame the bass. I think the important thing with all the clones is that its not just about bass. They have mids and highs too!

The Xears xwf600 was on ebay for 20 euros! With 3 spare cables! I bought them with no hesitation! 8 euro postage worldwide.

That's a pretty cracking deal.

How do they sound exactly? I assume they would be super warm considering the wood construction.

I think someone posted this deal on one of the thread I've read couple weeks back. Looking good with the wood and I am also curious how it sounds. Google didn't return any helpful information thou.

Wood phones aren't always super warm, but in my limited experience they do seem less artificial.

Don't know- I gave them to my missus to give them to me on my birthday Tuesday along with the ckm99!

So so so tempting to just push the buy it now button.

Resistance will protect me!!
