    The US customer service first didn't want to acknowledge my concern and gave me the usual dodgy BS, then i further explained my intentions and they said they'll "forward my message to the appropriate department" (which i suspect was really only to shake me off). Do they speak english at the...

    Thanks for the tip but i don't like buds ;), i always prefer IEMs for portable. I stuck with my cheap EX10, i rarely use it, and not for critical listening. Yeah i couldn't believe the issues myself, it may seem i'm too fussy. I'm not sure it's QC, it may also be by design. Sony doesn't give a...

    I have updated the review, after having owned the second V6.

    Basically this is the EX10 with some tuning (in this case, making it worse for more money). It has the same grainy treble. Sony added "rich bass", which is really the same mid-to-upper bass as that of the EX10, but here it's exaggerated, even more bloated and boomy, it bleeds into the mids...

    Amazon's return policy is for such reasons, no questions asked. It only has to be in best condition and you'd have to pay the return postage.   If you had done you're homework you would know it doesn't need an amp and wouldn't have to ask every single detail...

    Get the currencies right, the V6 is £50. You can return items to amazon.co.uk for 30 days and you get a full refund if it's in mint condition, so if you can afford it you can buy both and return one.

    I ordered a second V6 hours ago, i'll see in a few days. I don't know how you would cut the cables. Studio monitor, so i guess it'll reproduce music without much coloration, for £50 you have few choices, i've answered the rest before.

    Synth is usually used for riff in the midrange, or the bass. The lower treble does come forward on the V6 as you turn up the volume. The V6 is also said to be dark by some becuase of it's recessed mids.   I think it's a great buy at £50 and i don't think they'll get cheaper. I bought mine on...

    I can't comment on the sound of the CAL but the V6 is good for electronic (see my review). People say the CAL is bass heavy and the V6 is neutral (i still think it's a tad bass heavy). The CAL is more suited for on the go as it has a thinner non-coiled cable and a smaller plug handle, but it's...

    My first IEM worthy of mentioning was the $100 Sony MDR-EX90 which i used in the past 6 years until i couldn't mend it anymore this january; so this won't be my first experience, and i'm looking for something at least that good. Having read hundred+ reviews of dozens of IEMs and headphones i'm...

    Is there even an IEM under $150 that sounds at least as good as the V6 or the CAL?

    Why buy a Superlux over a V6 or CAL? (if price doesn't matter as long as it's under $150)

    Having used the V6 -being my first full-size- i found that that kind is only convenient when i'm sitting at my desk using the laptop. I watch a lot of movies in the bed or listen to music on the go, so an IEM would be universally useful for me.

    I don't exactly know the applicable law. When i ordered RAM from OWC - who operate in the US - i wasn't charged the US sales tax but when the FedEx plane landed in my country a FedEx rep called me that customs opened my package and charged me 27% VAT on the declared price plus even on the...
