I asked because I came across posts on the last few pages that said the T2 were basically "meh". And the T2 can actually become basshead(-friendly) when their front vents are closed, which is I have done.

Wait.. The T2 are not really that good? I admit to not following the thread all that much, but as far as I can recall, people were gushing over how amazing the T2 are. Now, all of a sudden, they are not very good. Am I missing something? Or is this just how Head-Fi is -- every IEM is the...

Got my CNT1 today. Good stuff. First impressions are very positive. Bass is great, both in terms of amount and extension. I'm not sure if these would be basshead material, as I'm not sure if I'm a basshead. I see myself as a bass-aficionado but not full basshead (maybe basshead lite?), and I...

Can we start a petition for Oxford to add Sony's logo next to the definition of "evil"? Because what they have done is that -- pure evil. Just tried the newly arrived MH755. How can someone make a pair of earphones that sound so good at that price, and make them with an F-cable that is too...

For what it's worth, I ordered a pair of the Semkarch CNT-1 (yes, the name sounds ridiculous).

Thank you, kind sir! Have the T2, use them modded. They are my main IEM at the moment. Checked the T3, saw they have a BA. Backed away slowly. Nope, not touching that.

I guess I can try the MH755 as well. Since I heard a lot about fakes, can someone post a link to a store selling genuine ones?

Well, yes, that is exactly why they haven't lost me 100%, I was being a bit hyoperbolic, but I'm still skeptical. Due to the Knowles BA they will undoubtedly be more expensive than usual so I would probably skip them.

Reading that... They had me at "Tin Audio", and then lost me at "Balanced armature".

Well, I tried different tips. Sound change was minimal and not worth mentioning, provided I did not imagine it, that is. I actually gifted the Z5000 to my friend who re-soldered the TD08. He likes their sound. To each his own.

Confirming what Slater said. Purchased a pair a while ago and found them to be kind of awful, right next to the Z5000. Also, I guess QC wasn't great because apparently one of the earphones had its polarity inverted when I received them. A friend opened them and re-soldered the cables inside.

Well, I thought that a DAP is more than just "sound quality". Other things matter as well, like size and weight, build quality, battery life, software, features, etc. I know that sound quality is a rather important aspect but it hasn't been an issue since like... forever. I'd rather have a worse...

Ironically, all of this is actually making the case that one should simply is one's smartphone with maybe a DAC/amp instead of getting a dedicated DAP. I mean, FiiO is supposedly better than all of these, right? Yet it also fails to impress, at least me. So what does that say about the state of...

Perhaps it's due to my IEMs being cheap ones, thus not having a more expensive and higher quality BA in them. I don't know. All I know is both IEMs' highs sound unnatural and harsh. For the record, one is the KZ ES4 (which I dislike, as I find its highs to be very weird sounding), and the other...

Amen! I realized this after two IEMs. Probably not statistically significant number to indicate a pattern, but it was enough for me. How does the DC1 compare to the i8 in terms of tonality and sound?
