Interesting, might convinve a friend to try those on a budget, would be an interesting comparison. I'm sure the Bose are more comfortable and foldable, but i'll check it out.

not a joke, the only headphones that have ever blown me away in terms of bass. I don't understand how or why and i'm not going to question it, they simply deliver so much more punch than any other full headphones i've tried, including Beats Solo.   All the other Bose headphones i tried...

Really? Am i missing something? I really dont find my PK3 that impressive. I must be just spoilt by canal-phone bass

i'm interested too, preferably the CX-300 II which are supposed to be more durable

Are the PK3s still readily available? I know i had to look for a while to get mine. Having said that, i find im always using the canal type earphones so my barely used PK3s might be up for sale

You're positivity about these has really sold me on them, i dont need new headphones but i think i'll give these a go, maybe they'll just make me want to listen more

D'oh! I immediately went for the donut pads thinking it was the best, gonna try them with full pads and no pads next time got to admit, bass is ok, but not a huge step ahead of other earbuds

I just got mine, running them in for about 50 hours before i try them donut pads are tricky but just wrestle them on! will report back in a few days when ive tried them

oh i see yeah, is there such a thing as good aftermarket foam pads for earbuds?

Quote: Originally Posted by tstarn06 Okay, back to calmness. Build-wise, the PK3s are just a more solid choice because they are buds and have no working parts, nor do they require added expense for tips. I could not get a good seal with the included silicone sleeves and had to use...

i'd like to know too, i dont understand why they are not in more e-tailers in the UK

in the other thread someone pointed me to this: Head-Direct.com | YUIN i think i'll order from them Shame they have no established distributor in the UK, its odd, i wonder why that is

Quote: Originally Posted by Goratrix that's not Yuin, only some UK distributor. official worldwide distributor is here Thanks its a shame im a month late, they were ~30% cheaper a month ago

Dammit, now i cant find them in the UK, they were £25 a month ago apparently, now they are £35+ What would be the next best earphone? Or does nothing come close?

Worn straight or with the foam cushion pads? It will be playing unamped from iPod.

You know the kind of big bass that IEMs offer? All earbuds ive tried have had the same tinny problem, entire basslines are just not represented, i feel so sorry for the people that use the standard iPod earbuds. They're missing a whole portion of every song. IEMs are great for bass...

What about the OK series? How do they compare? considering the similar pricing EDIT: Wait a sec: FAQ | YUIN Acoustics No more yuin?

never heard of it, kinda looks like spam

Sennheiser CX 95 Style Canalphones - TrustedReviews Im only looking to spend ~£50ish, theres something about the fit of the j-jays that are annoying me, no matter what earbud size i use the left is quieter most of the time and getting the bass out of them is tough, push them in too far and...

Quote: Originally Posted by shigzeo yes they deliver heaps bass but that base does not impact the ear - only the canal. my atrio and my victor hp-fx500 deliver more bass quantity than my dt770 and probably than some darths (not done direct comparison) but it is in no way a similar...
