Hmm, they're in the same price ballpark as the Focal Elears, which many have gone gaga over, would be interesting to compare (if anyone can, of course).

Actually my friend you can find a new one for about $750 (the T1 2gen). Amazon drops the price option. Outstanding value if you can get it for that price. Quite a few who have heard both say it competes with the HD-800s (except the T1 has bass and less harsh highs). 

 

[doctorjazz]

Still sorta the same ball park (less than TOTL, more than most sane humans will spend), but $250 ain't chicken feed, either. Have to hear these one of these days, maybe one of the NY area meets (Philly area meet, then CamJam) will have one for me to check out, thanks!

Actually do have a review sample of the Elear, if I still have it, maybe I'll bring it (and the HEK) to one or both of the meets.

Please let us know when you post your review of them, I'm very interested in reading your thoughts about them....

Sure thing, have them on kazillion hour burn in
will use MicroZOTL2 and Liquid Carbon (leaning toward the latter in initial listening)
more to come

 

[drbluenewmexico]

how much is a kazillion?

 

[doctorjazz]

100 times more than a bazillion, silly

Not in the same league as the Opus by a long shot but my ops on the Mrobo C5:

Brainwavz's new B150 is a pretty solid single BA.

Haven't tried the B150 yet but I have a review sample of the B100. It has grown on me for certain.  I was shocked at how bad it sounded on first listen however..  Seems to be a better deal to get a B100 instead based on your review.

 

[B9Scrambler]

I liked the B100 ootb, and loved it after a very short period. B150 is just as good, but with a slightly different sound. Definitely think the B100 is the better deal though. 50 dollars is way too vast a price gap between the two given how similar they are overall.

Ya my review unit was very weird sounding on open box. I kid you not I have notes about how terrible the sound was. It literally sounded like the sound was compressed flat with a very small stage. I have never heard anything like it.  A week later after leaving it to play music the entire week and it sounded like a completely different earphone all together.  The change was night and day.
 
Tips seems to make a big difference in sound for them as well.  As they are now I do think they have a nice SQ to them. Brainwavz did an excellent job on em. Will have to write my review of them soon.

It's good to know I'm not the only one having issues with the PM4. My right side connector falls out very easily.

As far as sound goes though: wow. I can't believe what I am hearing from these. The price I got these for is ridiculous. They can hang with my FX850 and aren't even close in price. If only it didn't have issues with the connector. I will definitely be trading up for the Master.

I'm really surprised to hear that some members are disappointed with the sound. That must have something do with quality control because what I am hearing is unreal at this price.
