eBay purchase. I don't think returning is an option. I'm going to give them a day of playing Kendrick Lamar's DAMN at a good volume to burn in then try to figure out how to flip them. I'm gonna tear up that house looking for my EX800ST's this weekend. Many thanks to all you guys for your...

Purchased the ASG Kickers cause I read they were the top tier w/o an DAC/AMP which is how I listen to music when I'm out and about. Dear GOD do I regret this purchase. I'm not sure they're authentic due to the build quality, the sound is worse than my XB90EX, it doesn't actually fit in my ear...

So far, I've lost my EX7550, EX90, and Bluebud X3.  Birfday coming up, time to treat myself.  Thinking of going to the stealth ASG 2.5s.  I usually just hook my IEMs up to my Nexus 6P and leave my FiiO Kunlun E18 at home.  Also,is there an update to the E18?

I see you rank them higher than the ASG 2.5 (not that I can find them to purchase anyways), may I ask why?

ahhh, good to know. Any tips on where to purchase the asg 2.5? (Black preferably)

I should not have opened this thread after receiving my bonus.  Now I must join the club.  Can anyone point me to a source for the 2.5s and the best accessories (cables, tips, etc)?  While I'm at it, I think I'll upgrade my FiiO E18 to a Chord Mojo.

  Did I goof?  I was under the impression that the e12 is just an amp and wouldn't be of any use w/o a DAC whereas the e18 was a DAC and amp combined and I could use the OTG functionality of it.  Could I have just purchased an e12a or C5 and connected my Nexus and started jamming Wiz Khalifa -...

@HBB: On the strength of your review and videos, I copped the JVC HA SZ-2000. I did pick up the FiiO e18 cause I ain't ready for the Cayin C5 and FiiO X5 as I don't have FLAC audio and don't want a separate music player. How much less bass will I have?

Guys, any tips on where I can get a pair of Sony MDR-XB90EX?  Or a trusted vendor on Ebay or otherwise?
