I have a pair of ATH-CK100 from... 2010 I think. I really loved them, but some time ago I put it in the washing machine while it's in my pants and one of the earpiece has a smaller volume now. I don't think this is fixable by itself, so I'm planning to make it a custom earphone. I asked...

The only reason I sold my 602 was the lack of Korean support. Now I am starting to think I might buy this player again. I really do like rockbox.

Wait, RE0 is $59.99 @ amazon. Another price drop? It's still $80 at head direct though. Is DBROTH an authorized dealer?     EDIT : Well, judging from the review at amazon people dislike DBROTH. RE0's tend to break a lot, so maybe I should just buy from HD if I had to buy any.

Currently using Mitsubishi Hi-Uni HB, Faber Castell Castell 9000 3B, Tombow Mono 100 HB, Pentel Marksheet pencil HB. More than enough. I've never tried the Mars Lumograph though I can't see them being better (or at least as good) compared to what I'm using now.   Mechanical pencils... 0.3mm...

I just got it and I can confirm that the only thing that changed is the trrs plug. No metal housing for 262... maybe reserved for the 272. It comes with a luxurious(?) box that resembles a mini HM-602 box, but still without a carrying case. It comes with 3 soft adapters with 3 different...

What? A preorder? Mine is shipped today!

  Quote: Are you sure the housing is metal? Well it kinda looks like but I was not entirely sure (though I will know for sure when i get it).

I own DDMs and I preordered the 262(though I had these for some time).   For both IEMs if you don't swap channels the fit gets awkward when you wear them over the ear, at least my ear did. I had to use a larger tip compared to what I used when I wore them straight down to get the seal and...

The balanced output is bothersome but the L/R switch adapter is just too good to be true. for wearing over the ear it's just the best option.

We have a re262 preorder at $150 in HD. I think it is a pretty good deal.

Yeah, I meant the radius TWF11. I linked to clieos' review a few posts earlier. Isolation is about average when used with monster gel supertips. It is definitely not its strong point but it is not too bad either. When I tried them with a Cowon player and with some equalizing it provided the best...

Well I really seriously recommend the DDM for bassheads. The DDM's bass has the best texture and the most powerful impact from a universal, you don't hear them but feel them, as if the IEM itself is vibrating. I've had the MTPC a while ago and by quantity it was just no match. I had the SM2(not...

RE262 preorder on HD ($149), looks like an amazing deal. http://head-direct.com/product_detail.php?p=101 looks like it has the 4pin termination again. 

Hey RE262 preorder is open and it's cheap! only $149!

http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/516132/review-radius-hp-twf11r-double-the-fun maybe you'll find ClieOS's review helpful. The DDM has both quality and quantity. 

If you crave for bass I recommend the DDM, it makes me sick when listening to House sometimes because of its bass rumble. Never heard the IE8 though. 

The original DDM is the most satisfying IEM I've ever owned. Looking forward to this, and I'm saving money.    But then why should I upgrade when I'm perfectly happy? (I was not able to think this way a few months ago)

For me the ER4S was the best(and is considered by many to be the golden standard for isolation) I have ever tried but I didn't have enough time with it. SM2 with Shure Olives was the best of what I owned previously. The DDM I am using right now offers really less isolation compared to other BA...

^ That's some good news.

^ It's a purple MX with 95cm and a L plug. The case is 1030.

Now that the initial excitement is over, maybe I would describe the bad aspects of the sound with a word or two. Highs : The low treble has some peaks (around 10~11k I think) and the rolloff is much greater than my PK1, which is typical for a BA phone though I can't say I like it. I have...

UE is dumping their stuff(yeah I know this word is only used when international trade is involved but I can't seem to find a better word). They make money on customs and they already have a huge sum of money(Logitech) and they're dumping universals on the market.    Look at amazon triple fi...

^ I was using the olives from the start, as I'm not exactly a fan of Comply tips. The problem is the phone's small design and my big ear. I studied it for some time and now I know how to get the best fit and seal though. Shouldn't be a distraction if you are trying to buy.
