Besides the noise issues, what do people think about its sound quality? how does it compare to ALO reference 8 cable that comes as stock in w80? I assume BT module is not yet on the same level as the physically connected cable

So, I had to buy w80 because it was on fire sale for $749 =D, tried the BT gen 2 module, I too am hearing buzzing/pulsing noise on the right side =(. If this is due to electronic controls on the right side, is there anyway to reduce the issue?

which other universal iem would you prefer in the similar price range?

really? =(, would you know how it would compare to se530 or triple fi? i personally like triple fi sound signature more than shure. and never auditioned westone's before, how does it compare to triple fi?

ok... I have been away from this hobby since I have gotten my shure se530 & triple-fi years ago. and today, for some reason i was cleaning my spam mail box and saw 25% sale @ earphonesolution ! oh jeez, and then saw this w80 for like 1120usd or so... I couldn't resist and ordered it, i am...

Just got Korean note4 bronze gold(Exynos oh yes!) Initial impression is good, I will be comparing it with iphone 6 plus tomorrow ;)

My very first non-OEM IEM was Shure e4c...   Is this SE215 the newer version of e4c? or is it totally different IEM?

I suppose no one has heard both "universal" & custom version of roxxane? I always thought about getting me a pair of custom IEM but thinking that I can't share such eargasm with anyone else but me is keep me away from customs ... and i've had TF10, shure 530 for too many years now... time for...

is it just me or this thing is ugly as hell? maybe im on the wrong planet

Or just get LG G2, I am happy with it, amazing size not too big   sounds great and 24bit support if you ever need it.

xingplayer is my favorite although free version has ads....

Just bought my G2 in black (korea), and yes it has micro SD slot =) I am yet to compare the quality of sound with other players.

have you looked at cosmic ears? or heir audio 4.ai? 1964 v3? of course they would require shipping and time in between but i think its worth the wait to get the customs you want. se535 is pretty expensive , and you might be able to find nice custom for that much price

one of the developer mentions he likes flat SQ headphones and that player fits "him" well with Dt1350 , senn hd25-1 II, shure srh840, se425

just checked out some info from   http://www.astellnkern.com/   neat looking curious how it will perform against some of the hifi players out now

maybe tf10 if you can get it cheap

wow... wish I could listen to all these customs someday haha

they don't ship to korea , sigh

Quote: really.. monoprice? how does it compare to multi hundred dollar MTPG ? ...haha i should order one

Quote: i agree the casing paint chips off starting from the edge, and I wish it was detachable cable like tf10

Mine was like 8 years ago when I first spent money to buy non-bundled earphone... I bought shure e4c and when i first plugged in... wow.... the detail , clear/smooth mid... sparkling high (of course compared to previous bundled earphone which i don't remember what brand) I miss my e4c... it...
