Quote: Oops, forgot that these cost only $9 shipped :)  When I first put them on, I was taken aback at how natural these sounded despite of lacking a little bit bass impact.  I have had other el cheapo IEM's  and all sound veiled and muffled even though they all cost $10 or more.  The...

Just received my 8320's and I must say for $9 shipped, these sounded very nice. The only decent IEM I've owned so far is the PK3's and in terms of clarity and openness, both are equal.  However, bass is a little bit weaker in the 8320's and compared to my D2000, it's no where near as good.  Will...

Quote:   I purchased mine at the same time as LimeANite and got them yesterday too, so it looks like they're consistent.  It usually takes them 1-2 business day to ship orders.  I got my HD598 around the same time frame too.    

I have both D2000 and HIFI 580 and had M50 briefly.  As far as bass impact is concerned, I give it to D2000.  It's also very deep.  However, it's not as fast as HIFI 580.  I find the bass quality of D2000 is better than M50.  M50 has more bloated and boomy bass and is not as defined as that of...

Quote:   Same experience here with my D2000.  Everything looked brand new.  Soundwise, I felt the same too :)  Better bass extension than my HIFI 580 so HIFI 580 will have to go back :)  However, its mid cannot touch that of HD598's.  I'm OK the cable.  It could have been worse.  Comfy...

If you think HD598's are uncomfortable, stay away from HD650's.  The latter has even more clamping force.  However, for me, I find the HD598's to be very comfortable.  After putting them on for a few minutes listening to several songs, I usually almost do not notice I'm wearing headphones any more.

Quote: +1   I found the HD650 to be a super boring set of headphones.  After several songs I usually found myself sleepy... :) even though they were driven by my Nuforce Icon HD, which is known for a little bit bright sounding.  On the contrary, HD598's sound much more "engaging" -...

Almost +1 as I don't think HIFI580's are warm sounding.  They do have good lively mids like Grado. 

Open box like new D2000 is back at Electronic Expo for $200 in case anyone is interested...

Count me in too!  #9322

Quote: Yeah, getting the coupon was a hassle but if I don't have to pay for 4 bucks more, I won't :).  Plus the sale rep was very nice and responsive so I wouldn't mind bugging her :)   Good luck with your choice of can!      

Quote:   You may want to chat with the sale rep about the coupon.  The website has a chat box on lower right corner.  After registration, I didn't get my coupon either until I talked to them so I guess that the coupon might not be automatic but they will give us a coupon if we inquire for...

Asavings.com has it for the same price but if you register with them first, they'll give you a 10% coupon for first time buyer.  I got mine for $36 shipped.
