Haven't had much time in the last day or so to do some comparisons...but FWIW the Havi B3's are much clearer than these AN16's. That's not to say the AN16's are muddy, and instead i'd say that they have their own sound signature that is...warmer I guess. If I were to describe its sound...

Curious, what source and amps (if any) are you running them out of?

I don't like the flat bottom half of the Havi's, but otherwise I'd agree that the build is good for that price point. I'll let it grow on me haha.   As for the AN16, I can try to do some A/B's for you at a later time. Going to bed and burning in the VSD2S. I literally just opened the AN16's to...

  Oh yes, the fit and comfort is great for me, similar to the Shure 215/315 etc series. Forgot to mention that build quality is pretty damn good. the terminated jack end looks and feels pretty solid. The cables are have a smooth, rubber (not the friction-y type)  and matte-like texture which...

I just got my VSD2S, so in case people are wondering how it sounds out of the box, I'd say it's not too great. Let's bear in mind they haven't been burned in so I won't jump to conclusions. For some background, i've been using a pair of ATH-MSR7's and Havi B3 Pro I's.   For starters, these are...

I share the same sentiments -  a little treble roll of would be great for me too. It's a pity because aside from this, I am seriously digging these can. At twister6's recommendation i've decided to go for a Schitt Fulla. I'm hoping for a bit more soundstage and warmth. Nice Dessert Analogy dude.

  Quote:   Give me a bit, i'll probably get some impressions done as I should be expecting them early this week.

I hope so, because then i'd gladly sell my B2's and keep these!

  Quote:     Yeah I think i'd at least do that when I get them. From what I gather in this thread, they retain the clarity of the B2's with a warmer touch. I'm assuming the highs and treble will be rolled off a bit to be smoother. I'm curious though, has anyone tried to fit the...

  Quote:   I've ordered a pair of R-11's and R-50's for fun. I'm currently holding on to a pair of B2's and Klipsch X10's, so yeah i'll do some impressions if I have the time!

I think he meant the Brainwavz Beta, in which case it's hard to compare since one driven by a dynamic driver while the B2's are dual BA's.

The Shure Olives fit...but they expand when you put them on the DBA 02's/Brainwavz B2. They won't fit on your other earphones no moar ):

I was looking to buy one of these for fun the other day, so if it's possible can someone comment on how the bravo v2 tube amp will measure up against these: http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260795094655&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 or these...

I can't just usb the E7 > output source? Which might benefit the 2.1's which are arriving? I'm using a cheap set of creative 2.1's(T3130), so it's possible that this is the reason I do not hear any significant differences with the E7/E9.

Hi, thanks for replying. I see what you're driving at, but then doesn't the E7 already fulfil the DAC component, and hence won't I not necessarily need the E9? I use my macbook for music, mainly, and when I plugin the E7/E9 into it I always set it to use the DAC as the output device. Is that...
