yes, around 256-320 kbps sounds good to me Honestly, I can't hear the difference between 320 kbps lossy and lossless (yet ), so in order to save my HD space, I pick lossy

IE8 is good for rock and hip hop since you can adjust the bass response to your liking. I've tried my friend's W3 and for me, the treble is too much. Great bass, though...

no, I don't. IMO it makes the song sounds too artificial for me.

Another vote for IE8. But although it has the widest soundstage of all IEMs I've tried, it's still can't give me the sensation of "large concert hall" like what the open-back full sized headphone can give...

Thanx for the new pics, ClieOS. Did they also give you the official spec of PL-50, date of release, and price?

So the UE 4 Pro has sparkling treble and deep, impactful bass. What about the mids/vocal and the soundstage? As for the $501 price difference and just a slightly different SQ, will it "kill" the UE 10 Pro sales on the market?

You can try Monster Turbine. From what I read in reviews, it has great bass response, much like Beyer DT770, right JMT391? Or you can try Sennheiser IE6

A friend from local forum bought this UM3x and reviewed it. He said that although it has a high impedance for IEM, but it can be used unamped with no problem. Maybe because UM3x has high sensitivity.

Great review!!! I'm interested in buying Corda 3Move. But I nocited in your review that some amp is not so good to be paired with IEM (causing some hiss). Is Corda 3Move good to be paired with IEM? I'm using UE SF5Pro.

I tried to replace the batteries with Energizer NiMH rechargeable, but the hiss is still there. Last week I had a local gathering with my friends, and I tried some full-sized headphones (MS-1, ATH AD700, and DT770 250 ohm) with my PA2V2, and the hiss is completely gone!!! I wonder, is this...

I have Super.fi 5 Pro and already tried my friend's Triple.fi. Yep, it has better sound quality, clearer highs dan deeper bass. But for my ears, the treble is too much. So I prefer the Super.fi.

I'm using the alkaline batteries because my friend said that the higher the battery current means the higher sound quality. But, I'm gonna buy some NimH batteries. Thanx for the tip, bro.

Just bought a PA2V2 from a friend. It's my first amp and I'm quite amazed with the improved sound quality. But I have some problem. I noticed that this amp make quite annoying hiss. Does anyone have the same problem?
