Where were the original ones being sold for $5?

According to the site whose link you shared AKG K240 sextett can reach 102dB with 9038D. Isn't it more than enough? I used 92db SPL /mW.

Thanks for the link

Have you tried any of them with any 600 ohm? I wonder how they sound. I need a DAC /amp for sextett and dt880 600 ohm.

Did anyone try powerDac v2 or 9038S or 9038D with dt880 600 ohm or any other 600 ohm headphones?

I have them and I like the sound of them. No mid bass bleeding. Bassy but not in all tracks. I feel like they stay loyal to the recording. Good recordings always sound right to me. I also never hear mid bass hump while listening speech as I heard on Beyerdynamic Byron. Highs aren't extended much...

I think there's a problem with the fitting of this in ear. At least it doesn't fit well universally for most of the people. Some people say it's bass shy and some say it has more bass than they desire.) some say bass is loose and some say it's tight.) I'll get both cables. I think I'll be happy...

I expect the same since price range is different. On the other hand m4u 4 is not a common in ear. So maybe it doesn't offer enough for its price. But many people say the opposite and compare with more expensive models. I'm totally confused.)

There are people comparing it with Shure SE 425. So I wonder if it can cope with some other iems. I can get them 45 USD used. I have Beyerdynamic Byron. So I wonder if it's going to be an upgrade over Byrons.

I almost never use equalizer but I could try with AP100 since it's hardware. I still cannot really decide if I need Ap100 however I'll make some A/B testing against LG V20 before buying and share my ideas here. Seller says battery is in mint condition but I can never know. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. What I don't like about LG V20 vs a its bass performance. I used to plug in some Shure SRH 440 and AKG K240 sextett to the head phone out of my old Pioneer and Kenwood stereo amplifiers. There was some hiss. However bass performance was superb, so tight and controlled even...

I can buy a used AP100 FOR 75 USD. Is it still a good price for AP100 today or should I consider some other DAP for under 200 USD? And I'd also like to ask if AP100 is still good enough comparing today's DAPS. I should mention that I already own a LG v20 and I enjoy it. But I'd appreciate any...

Does anyone use these in ears? Anyone to compare these with other in ears? I can get a pair used for 45 USD. I have Beyerdynamic Byron. I used AKG K612 PRO and AKG sextett before and I like AKG sound. But I don't mind some more bass unless it's bloated at certain frequencies.

Thanks a lot for your long reply. Well , I'll consider buying an old k701 if I can find. In fact I have a K240 sextett that I only listened with a poor on-board soundcard connected to a speaker amp. My amp is strong enough and I can never go more than 1/3 of the dial but my source sucks...
