Mine works fine being powered by USB. I use it with this hub:

Thanks! So, did they change the way they printed labels some time during the production or do they just fade I wonder?

Hey, I bought YUIN PK3 and I noticed that the writing on it is grey and faded looking. My PK2s have nice white writing on them and all the pictures I've seen of PK3 online also have that white text. I was wonder if anyone else experienced something like this? Are these fake? The box and...

Hey, sorry to resurrect this thread, but I have the question as the poster above. I received YUIN PK3 and it has the same type of a writing colour as above. Is it fake?

I received VE Azusa 2.0s, and I have to say it is a disappointment. I expected a lot better than this. People have said that it is "clear". I don't think it is at all. It sounds very veiled. In fact I think TY Hi-Z 32HP blows it away, in clarity, bass, everything. I am super impressed with...

Received Fengru EMX500, I am not very impressed to be frank. They are about on the level of Monk+, worse than the original Monk, which is noticeably clearer sounding.

Thank you! Yea, there does not seem to much info on these. I'll probably go with MKIIs based on your reply though.

Anybody know what the difference is between TY Hi-Z HP150 and TY Hi-Z HP150S MKII ?

Is there a definite guide to budget earbuds? There are so many! Is there even difference between them? I bought EMX500, which seems to be produced by two companies, **** and Fengru... which is the original? Who knows... So I got both. Now I'm looking at others and there is TY Hi-Z HP-32 and...

Thanks Sean. I actually picked up Masya on your recommendation. Just to clarify we're talking about Penon BS1, right? Might pick them up too, also on your recommendation :D

Are 400s and BS1 worth picking up? Do you prefer 400s to BK? What about Masya?

Somebody should send this thread to Sennheiser to show them how much interest there is in earbuds so they can fire up those factories and make an MX 990 :wink:

Have you compared Masya Pro to the original? What are your thoughts?

There is definitely a difference in the pictures. One of them has deeper grooves. The difference is like with Monk and Monk Plus. But if you guys are saying there is no difference in sound, I'll take your word for it.

Thanks Danneq!

Thanks for the clarification, Danneq. The two versions have different grill openings, do you know if they sound the same?

Does anybody know why there seems to be two versions of MusicMaker MrZ Tomahawk? There is one with the MusicMaker logo and then there is another with the Z in the middle. One says Toneking the other Music Maker. These seem to be the same. What are the differences, if any? Also, what about...

Have any of you tried checking if there is a difference between using the front 3.5mm jack and using an RCA Y splitter adapter with 3.5mm input in the back? Are both RCA and 3.5mm amplified the same way? I'd prefer to connect the headphones from the back instead of having the cable on the desk.

Thank you! Wow that's big, I expected a similar form factor to the original power adapter, only more powerful. Do report back please!

Taz, where did you order the 15V 1.5A linear power supply, please? My co-worker got a DX3 Pro, I used my Beyerdynamic DT 990 250 Ohm on it and I really enjoyed it. It really got them loud with the stock adapter, uncomfortably loud at -5db. But still for the future, if I buy one too, I'd like...

Hey folks, I have question that may be a bit off-topic but still interests me none-the-less. How do you store your earbuds? I'd like to find an efficient way of storing mine. I currently have them in headphone cases, like this one: But would like a better solution. I've seen some people...

This descriptions matches what I experienced with Cygnus and PK2. Are BK mids cleaner than PK2 from your experience? Treble is kinda worrying because PK2 has better treble than Cygnus I think. I was hoping BK would have more and clean treble.

I've been comparing Shozy Cygnus to my old YUIN PK2. I have to say I kinda prefer PK2. It is noticeably cleaner. Shozy has bigger bass, which feels like it's entering mid range a bit. And mids sounds "fuller". Shozy is also louder at the same decibel level, but, it is not cleaner! Shozy feels...

I wonder why Sennheiser get out of the earbud business? MX985s are still regarded to be one of the best. I had a chance to buy MX980 years ago. I wish I had.

Yea, I don't know. I might risk it later, but I've learned to lower my expectations. I've read reviews where Cygnus is better than BK. Where BK is declared to be the best earbud ever, etc...
