So, I took mine apart and forgot to label the left and right. I see that one cup has blue and white wires and the other has blue and red. Anyone know which is which? Maybe a dumb question, but thought I would ask just the same!

I came across this little number today and think it fits my needs perfectly. I currently have the following set-up: Mac Mini ==> NuForce Icon ==> Orb Mod 1s w/ Mirage Omni 8 Sub.   For some time, I have wanted to move in the direction of taking advantage of hi-res downloads and the NuForce...

Just got my OK2's. (Upgrade from OK3's - tried to quote from earlier in the thread, but couldn't get it to work). Think they sound great after a first listen. However, despite what you said about bass, I feel them to be pretty puchy in the bass, almost a bit too much at times. Is this maybe a...

Quote: So finally got my OK2s and think they sound great after a first listen. However, despite what you said about bass, I feel them to be pretty puchy in the bass, almost a bit too much at times. Is this maybe a burn in issue or are my ears focusing on the lower mid-range? Just...

Quote:   Thanks for the feedback. If anyone would have a good perspective on my situation, it would be you!  

Quote: I appreciate the input, but what exactly are you meaning using the term "upgrade?" In relation to the OK3's, I presume, but not over the OK2's?   Also, have you compared the OK2's (or the OK3's) with the MX 880's? If not, I am wondering on what basis (other than personal...

Looking for a little more guidance from some of you more seasoned earphone users. I have been enjoying the OK3's with my iPod 4th Gen. Nano. I like their reproduction of more stripped down music (She & Him, singer/songwriter stuff), but they seem veiled/suffer with rock music (White Stripes...

Do you think these would be something that may meet my quest? I like my OK3s for the warmth and sound signature, but like the speed an clarity of my hf5s. I don't want an IEM b/c I will use them mostly at work. Thoughts?

I did a search, but this didn't come up. I appreciate it!!

Read an article by Steve Guttenberg today and thought these sounded interesting. Anyone have an experience with these? Phaiton PS210 - http://www.phiaton.com/Fulfillment/P...asp?prod=60520 I was looking for something "in-between" earbuds (have Yuin OK3s) and IEM (have Ety hf5s) and these...

I believe the statement I made about the OK3's being my "favorites" to be true, but have to say that after listening to The White Stripes "Get Behind Me Satan" today from my iPod (192kps, VBR), the OK3's are a little lacking in the speed and clarity for such music. I plugged in my Ety HF5 and...

This is a little off topic, but if I was trying to achieve the sound signature stated above in a pair of traditional cans, what would someone suggest? I was thinking rather than investing in another canal phone (that I only wear when mowing or on airplanes), I could get a traditional phone for...

Ok. I did a little more research. They are selling the RE0's for $79 right now! I thought that was a normal price, then after researching saw they were originally $220. Before I bite on that sale, I need to know if my Fiio E5 will be powerful enough to drive them. Thoughts? Also, one review I...

Thanks all. Great suggestions. I am definitely interested in checking out the RE0 from head direct since more than one of you suggested that. Turbines are really that bass heavy or just much more present bass than the etys? To jleewach - The IE7/8s, they are A LOT warmer? I thought the...

Hi All, Still a junior around here, but frequent visitor. I own Ety's HF5 and Yuin OK3's. I was wondering if anyone has thoughts about another portable earphone that would strike a balance between those two phones sound signatures. The OK3's have a nice warm, rich sound that I really like...

Well, I have had my E5 for a few months now and feel it one of the best bang-for-buck purchases I have ever made! I use it all the time. I appreciate the input! BTW - I am on my third pair of OK3's now. Anyone else have issues with their durability? Customer service from head-direct is out of...

I went ahead and ordered the e5, so I look forward to trying that vs. the e3. I also listened to my OK3's without the e3 amp. The phones offered a little less spacial separation un-amped (imo), but the sound was more balanced for sure. Thanks for the suggestion.

Quote: Originally Posted by mvw2 I'd invest in the E5 and get rid of that bass boost. The problem is the OK series is not anemic to start with, so you're just boosting an already ok bass frequency range to something that now overshadows. As well, the OK3 and OK2 shouldn't need an amp to...
