Keep 'em coming! I'm on my third Elecom recently. All are winners though the GB1000 is not quite for me but was the first one i got so it was certainly good or I wouldn't have bought more

. Have taken over from AT for me, atm. Pioneer I like a lot, JVC I like(started the club), Sony I like but kinda switched from AT over to Elecom. Like the sound and approach with whoever they are working with to make there stuff.

Soured some on Senn too as they have gotten worse from a design/ergonomics standpoint and they rehash too much and they seemed to have dropped making earbuds and are taking forever to fill in the IE60 through IE80 range with new models which are old and dated. Ages since they put out earphones in the $150 - $300 range.

Recently bought some more Elecom after my good impressions of my first purchase of the brand. Even better this time, the Elecom EHP R/HH1000 earphones. Very good soundstage, more bass, but not bleeding at all into the mids, musical whilst detailed. They look a bit bulky, but are light weight and comfortable (with complys that I use, the supplied large eartips fit me but I preferred the isolation and fit of the complys, saying that, everybody has their own likes/dislikes with tips). I've previously heard many BA/DD hybrids, but never been too impressed with the integration of the drivers, but not with these! Thoroughly enjoying them. For $130 they are worth every penny imo. Looks like these are keepers.

Still waiting on my Elecom's to arrive In the meantime, these EM-I CI800's continue to impress.



Been putting them in for quick listening sessions here and there and they've pretty much become my favorite budget hybrid. Nicely balanced, detailed sound. Would take them over the Audbos K3 and DB-02, 1More C1002, KZ ZST, etc. Treble is particularly nice, tilting towards a thin presentation. It's very clean and crisp; no harshness. They have a fairly lush mid-range and punchy bass with a fairly tame boost. It avoids the big bass and bright treble qualities most of these cheap-o hybrids tend to display. Nice soundstage too.

Was quite interested in the CB1000 after some good reviews and the price going close to $130 plus shipping. The slightly more neutral leaning than the HH1000 and it's Beryllium driver. But a different kind of hybrid being Dynamic plus piezo vertical support tweeter. Was reading a blog where the person declared the CB1000 the winner over the Sony XBA-N3 and the K30003.

Heck I love my Pioneer but at twice the price they really can't put much that distance at all between the EHP-CH1010 in the SQ dept.

So it has been a while since I contributed a discovery worthy of the name of this thread. I remember when I first started this thread it was in the name of discovery that I would dive head first into numerous phones to find that illusive one. Since then I can't count how many great earphones and gears we all had a hand in discovering. Well I have a big reveal today.

Later on today I will reveal something completely new to headfi and the world in our discovery thread. I am preparing my review of what is another collaboration from Massdrop. I will post a dedicated review and also post the review on here as well. Will have the big reveal later.

Hopefully your "discovery" came from a later production batch than mine, cause i'm waiting for replacement now...
