DIY EMX500 from woo store is the same as FENGRU?

I have carbo Tenore and am wondering if MEMET X5 is better or a sidegrade. I like Tenore but the soundstage is small and I'm looking for sub $50 with better soundstage and soft treble for long session listening. I like to wear them straight down.

  Where on AE? Does it sound similar to monk+?

All sellers on AE are gouging on prices before the 11.11 sale. The prices on 11.11 are what they were last week except for very few earbuds. You get a better discount when you ask the seller.

It could be some dust inside. Try blow some air in it and see if that fix it.

Take a look at shozy Cygnus. It is about $90 and it's well received. It is also very comfortable and sound good unamped. The 650 will need an amp and it's very new and people might be in honeymoon phase with it. Sorry I don't have any of them and I'm also looking for one, but from what I see the...

What earbud is good for listening to podcasts and audiobooks? I prefer something with low impedance to use with a phone. I have MP and I don't know if it is worth getting something like shozy cygnus for that reason. I think this type of listening is not challenging for most earbuds but I spend a...

What happened to their taobao listing?

Is the Dragonfly DAC capable to drive Zen 2? I know it has an amp but not sure how powerful it is. What other options are there (~$100 or less) to use with a laptop? Not interested to use it with my phone and I don't want a desktop amp but something that is semi-portable (if that make sense?).

Does Zen 1 cable change color?

I wonder how many voted without listening to the other listed headphones. It's never a good idea to have a poll for more than 2 headphones.

It is a good a reference. I knew my package was an open box by watching the unboxing video (which I hated for the longest time). And it is a good way to spot fake products.

I was thinking to buy it from another store but this is also an option. I am hoping for someone with similar experience and can save me time.

I can't decide between D1 and HRT HeadStreamer to use with my Denon D2000 from a laptop. As I understand D1 is warmer but has impedance of 10 ohm where the Denon likes amp with low imp (< 1 ohm). HS has low imp but it is brighter and I am not sure how this will work with denon hot treble.  ...

Quote:   According to HRT quote in this thread http://www.head-fi.org/t/582460/hrt-headstreamer-vs-hrt-music-streamer-ii, the DAC section are the same in both MS and MSII. The only difference is the isolation stage in MSII which is is replaced by analog attenuator and an OCL amplifier...
