Thanks again for your input! Yeap M0 seems great for its size, I’d prefer to have dedicated buttons as well, I’m not so thrilled on the touch buttons of M3K either tbh, but at least it seems possible to skip tracks with the volume buttons. It’s interesting that M3K seems to have better sound...

Since I'm looking for a pocket DAP, so far Shaling M0 is the frontrunner but it seems extremely small and the lack of physical buttons is still a problem. Could M3K be a better solution in both sound and functionality? So far @microphonic helps with his first impressions so anything more is...

Thanks for the update, I don't think that A50 will arrive anytime before April in Europe and probably September to any of my retail stores, so I won't really wait for it. Also the prices are not dropping a lot since A40 is still at it's launching price, so no high expectations, either. If the...

Quick question. I can find A-35 at €140 while A-45 is at €200, local retail shipping and taxes included Is it worth to go for the more expensive and newer model or A-35 will be equally good soundwise? I don't care for BT, just good navigation and no problems with the FW, I will use it...

I'm on the search of a real portable DAP, I was always postponing it as for my needs, the size and weight are important, I hate carrying more than one devices, unless the second is my Sansa Clip. I was thinking of an LG V30 as an all-in-one solution but since I've read that M0 is equal sonically...

I can also confirm that at around 50hrs of burn-in (luckily for my sound signature) the midbass settles down and doesn't ruin my non-R&B/Hip Hop tracks. Also I find them quite versatile in different genres, and I am impressed on how clear and engaging they sound in acoustic songs, I was afraid...

Regarding driver flex, so far I never encountered an issue with my pair apart from a slight flex only when inserting/sealing the left one (I think this is due to my ear and not the IEM itself). I always insert them slowly and pushing from the side shell and then adjusting the angle as I wish...

Yeah, I have always been on the budget-fi league so I wouldn't dare to go over $100 for an IEM since I don't have the necessary gear to really appreciate anything above that price. I don't own any real DAP so my phone is my source and I use IEMs only out of home as I prefer headphones indoors...

I wouldn't mind paying full price for what I hear OOTB so yes you should check the site regularly. Also since I'm also coming from a full Xiaomi and KZ range of IEMs I can't see the reason to go back to sub-$50 IEM anytime soon. Thank you iBasso, now I'm ruined! :D

We were indeed lucky! Initially I thought I wanted the black version but now I feel better having the red/blue. I currently use them without any amp, but of course HTC M9 is a bit more powerful than other smartphones. It also sounds more engaging and a bit warmer. I can't hear that hiss when...

I have received my pair from Advancedmp3players.co.uk and OOTB they sound amazing. I don't have any other IEM close to them to compare but I'm already satisfied. Playing a bit with the tips I feel that the wider bore stock tips give me best sound and fit, I need to play a bit more. There is...

aaaand they're gone! :D Thanks for the heads up @davidcotton I will now expect them patiently, I hope FedEx will be fast enough

Totally agree on that, $100 is a perfect price for what this IEM can deliver, according to your remarks. I meant that I will wait to become more affordable in the EU market as now it is at €120 (excluding shipping) which is 40% markup!

Decisions, decisions... :D I might then wait a bit more, when IT01 becomes a bit more affordable and more people test it! I'm not in a hurry but this is going to be my sole and most expensive IEM so I have to choose wisely!

I'm also going back and forth between IT01 at €130 and CH9T at €90, now that they are in a discount price, I am not sure if it's worth to spend the extra €40 for iBasso, unfortunately I can't buy overseas so I have to stick to the EU market Although if the differences are not that extreme...

I believe that I could like them, I have some thoughts on the cable but I can bear it if the sound is right. As I own and enjoy KZ ATE I don't know if they could be an upgrade or sidegrade, (At the same time I'm eyeing the ATR since they cost almost nothing and could be a possible replacement...

My wallet hurts again, thanks head-fi! After an extended absence of buying new IEMs for the past months I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger. Vivo XE800 was a no-brainer for me. I hope that I would really enjoy the fit as my VSD1S were my favorites, especially the moving nozzles. Also I...

  Probably Zircons are extremely bassy for my tastes and also they're not available at that shop. From KZ line there are only those I've mentioned above so no zn1 mini either. I will consider ATE although I don't know how bad is the memory wire

So I have around $25 refund to spend and my choices are limited. I am considering to buy Piston 3 ($12.5) and KZ ED9 ($13) or 1More Voice of China ($21) and another extremely cheap KZ maybe? From KZ line they have ATE ($10.5), EDR1 ($7.5), ATE-S ($14.5), ED4 ($6), EDR2 ($6), ED3 ($12) Should I...

Do you feel that Voice of China has the same soundstage as Xiaomi Hybrids?

  Great! Thanks I really appreciate that. Unfortunately I can't afford now 1More Hybrids so any input on Voice of China will be more than helpful!

  I am currently waiting for a refund and I would probably have to order soon since I don't want to wait much more due to the Chinese holidays. I hope that you will get soon your pair for a comparison though! Please let me know when you receive them!   Unfortunately I can't get 1More Hybrid...

Great and extremely detailed answer. Thank you very much I will take it into consideration before ordering again. To be honest I feel that I must be lucky with Hybrids and I am afraid of a lemon. I'm also considering 1More Voice of China at the same price that seem to be better than Piston 3 and...

Has anyone compared 1More Voice of China to Xiaomi Hybrid? I liked the big soundstage of Hybrids and the fun slightly V-shaped sound so since my Hybrid don't work anymore I was wondering if I should buy them again or replace them with 1More that have a similar price.

Do you think that Piston 3 are better than Hybrid?
