Headphone Inventory

CIEM
• Cosmic Ears CE6B (Smooth reassuring sound. Helps on long flights. Kumitate Lab Licht Silver Plated OFC cable)

IEM
• Massdrop Plus IEM (Cee Tee deserves some serious credit for putting this product out there)
• Final Audio Design - Heaven V (black chrome)
• Ocharaku Co-Donguri Shizuku (Japanese teapot insanity. Spinfit Tips)
• ADDIEM - Apple BA Dual Driver (Actually a good IEM. Apple should have replaced their current / old earbuds with this, instead of having to buy this stand alone.)
• KZ ZS5 (Chi-fi is coming to end us all)

Earbud
• Venture Electronics VE Monk (original)

Not Used So Much
• Audio Technica CK400i (Not great. But good for running)

• RHA MA350 (It's a Scottish wunderkind. Now with wife who won't let them go)
• Sennheiser CX 300 (The original one)
• Vsonic GR04 (Feels like a weird EQ, I think Vsonic is still prototyping their sound with this release)

• Etymotic Research - HF2 (Practically a bit more v shaped ER4 with a Mic)
• Mee Audio Pinnacle P1 (Mee's TOTL. Zinc housing)

• Sony MDR 1ABT (one of the first LDAC Bluetooth when paired with Sony Walkman)
• Sony MDR EX1000 (With Japanese market RK-EX1000LP cable. Paired with Spiral Dots / comply mod. Amazing, except not convenient to wear)
