Im looking at something around the $300-$400

Can anyone suggest me a good upgrade from the se535?   I want looking for iems around the same price bracket as the se535. I love the sound signature of the se535 but it's just missing a bit of a punch in the bass. I'm leaning towards the w30. I'm just not sure if its worth the upgrade. 

The first batch was on Dec 2014 if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I remember the early batches had rattling noises or something like that.    I was looking at the k701/q701 around the first drop. I was about to order them but I found MD had the k7xx for a lower price and some people were saying these were k712 or Anniversaries at the time.   I...

What do you mean by using tape to tune bass? How would it compare with the se535?   I love the mids and highs of the se535 but the se535 kinda lacks bass. The thing I missed when i switched from the se215 to the se535 was the bass. The soundstage however was amazing, never heard anything like...

I've heard from MD that they have "updated drivers" to fix some issue with the first editions. This is exactly what they told me. 

How about sound stage, mids and highs? I'm looking for IEMs that are for electronic and rap music. But don't want muffled highs from too much bass. 

Does anyone know if there is a difference with the First Edition and Limited Edition? Any changes in sound or build quality?

How much heavier is the bass of the XB90EX than of the se215?

This is my foobar UI. Simple interface that displays some meta on the side.  

So how about music, does the Creative and Asus sound the same or different? I also sometimes watch movies too. So which one is more suited for movies?

Quote: How is the Creative better for gaming? Are there more features and stuff? If i play music with the Creative does it sound better than the Asus one?

Anyone?

I am planning to buy a USB amp for my headphones. I usually listen to music and play games. Are there any USB amps that are good for music and gaming for my headphones? I use a laptop btw. Are the Asus Xonar U3 any good?
