I just bought this recently and so far  I am very impressed by the quality of this unit. It's a very capable unit capable of many things other than just playing music. The DAC mode is good for anybody wanting to upgrade their sound interface on a laptop. There is 4 ways of output,USB device into PC/Music system, headphone (Low and High Gain) and Line Out and Digital Coax options. It is also capable of decoding DSD in file format using DSF downloads at 2.8Mhz/5.6MHz (64/128 fs) or SACD ISO files through software or on the device itself. Although I...

Background information:   I am a hobbyist, part-time geek, audio enthusiast who likes high fidelity gear (or just whatever I can afford on the day). You'll find me messing around in Sonar Platinum, EWQL Virtual instruments and other wonderful music production programs.    For reference music: I regard Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Mike Oldfield, Brian Eno and other progressive rock as a benchmark point. Also some classical recordings are a good way to evaluate the sound quality of some headphone products. Neutraility suits me best as I can always...

I had these a while back and found them to be pretty good alas they did have a couple things that spoiled them.    Comfort: Finding the best earbuds took a bit of time. Although once you did, they were comfortable enough.   Sound Quality: These have a tight-bass extension, providing enough energy for most music. Some hip-hop fans might not like their politeness when it comes to phat bass however. The treble especially in dance/EDM often sounded a bit bright unless you used an equaliser to take the edge of the sound at 10Khz and beyond.  ...

Ok, I've had these for a while now and decided to leave some feedback on these. First thing, the sound from these IEM's (earphones) are nothing short of excellent with a few minor dislikes.   At times, some music demands a bit more low end although to be fair that is what an equaliser can be used for. Like any good quality headphones, they will reveal any bad traits in your music source; so often, what sounds exceptionable on more tuned earphones will sound flat out trash on these. The fit can be a bit fiddly and it takes a bit of time to locate...

These have nice dynamics and are flatter than some headphones. Despite that the low-end still has enough gusto to bring tracks to life. Another benefit is the detachable cable which uses a 5N OFC (99.999%)  make-up meaning the likelihood of internal corrosion is reduced further. As this cable is long and the headphones uses open back means they may not be ideal for travel situations like the bus or train.    To be honest, whilst these won't replace a good pair of Sennheiser, Grado, AKG, Shure or Audio Technica headphones they do a fairly decent job...
