What are some recent over ear full-sized Chinese headphones? Is the the Takstar Pro 82 still recommended?

Thanks, that helps. They're still not quite secure, at least on my right ear, but I think it's a problem with an irregular ear shape.

How are you supposed to put these in your ear? I've been using them for 2 months and while they sound extremely good, I have not found any way to put them in my ear such that they stay in place. The instruction manual is not descriptive. I would love if someone could do a step by step...

I'll be getting my PP8 soon. I have not tried them before buying (unfortunately). The wait is pretty hard. Now, I'm pretty confident that their sound signature will be what I'm looking for. The one thing that's worrying me right now is that, despite all the raving about how comfortable they...

filkenick, are you going to review the InEar ProPhile-8 at some point? :)

Thank you, that's quite reassuring. Looks like these might finally be the IEMs for me. Famous last words...?

I'm thinking of buying these, I've got a couple of questions: 1) When used from a "bad" source (laptop, smartphone, ...), how silent are the PP8? Is there audible hiss? The 32 Ohm makes me assume they are silent, or at least fairly quiet. 2) How hard is it to get a proper seal with these? 3)...

Nice cable, one question though - in your experience, does the clear cable turn green (due to oxidation)?

Warning: this is a very cheaply built IEM. while (carefully!) twisting an eartip in order to remove it, the entire nozzle broke clean off. Browsing this thread, I've noticed one other user reporting this problem, so it's not an isolated problem. Beware.

  lol, stop shilling and stop redefining well-defined terms.   these headphones are v-shaped and bassy. there's nothing balanced about them. the bass is elevated and almost muddy, making so everything sounds dark and vocals distant.

I know! I had serious problems with that and it drove me crazy. The tips that finally fixed them for me were https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1gQSxLXXXXXcmXVXXq6xXFXXXk/Hot-sale-3-size-black-red-double-color-silicone-isolation-font-b-earphone-b-font-font.jpg which I happened to have a pair of from...

  No, they're genuine. Female vocals are not spot on, they are distant. Among other things.

After using these for a while, I have to say they're not great. They are rather v-shaped (lol, "balanced". what a joke) and dark sounding. I like them only after equalizing them, I think they suck for vocals. My EQ preset for them literally has a 5-6 db difference between the low end and the...

The Urbanfun. I don't have the K3 Pro yet.

Can anyone compare these to the Urbanfun? I got my Urbanfun today and while they're definitely very good, the bass on these supposedly "balanced" IEMs is quite elevated. 

  Personally, I would never buy foams again. Yes you can finally get them for reasonable prices now because China doesn't care about Comply's patent monopoly. But they still end up splitting in half after as little as two days. That's completely unreasonable.

Thanks, I own several balanced headphones and like them a lot (notably the HD600)

What is the best >100$ Chinese IEM with a neutral sound signature?   I wanted to get the Magaosi K3 Pro but the frequency response is rather v-shaped. I've had too much experience with v-shaped IEMs and headphones to know that I don't like them.

How's the sound leak on these? Not more than average?

Hey everyone, hope this isn't a strange question, but what is a good Chinese IEM that sounds like the Sennheiser HD600? And by that I mean rather flat, great detail especially in the mids and bass that isn't elevated?

I have an annoying problem with my almost-faultless X2, maybe someone can help - so I won't have to play the replacement lottery.   the right cup does not seal perfectly. as a result 1) when I have the headphone on my head the right side feels noticeably loose. it's annoying and ruins...

I prefer these headphones after EQing for slightly less subbass and slightly more mids. I feel like the bass hurts the clarity a little.

@turbo911  Damn, nice job. This was the exact pad discrepancy that I've been complaining about. I got the thicker pads (the ones you describe as Woox) and I dislike them quite a bit, comfort-wise. I was watching a lot of reviews and I could instantly see the pads I got don't look like the pads...

So, has anyone used the KEF M100? People keep talking about how the M200 sounds great but is poorly designed, surely this more conventional design would be the first thing to try

Thanks everyone who posted pictures of their earpads. I seem to have confirmed that my pads are considerably thinner. That is consistent with how it feels to wear them, since the pads barely compress when they sit on my head. The weight distribution is completely off thus the clamp is pretty...
