Pretty buzzed for this stack to arrive, trying to figure out how my setup is gonna work. So I have my PC > Zen DAC > Balanced 4.4mm > Zen AMP Where do I plug my speakers in this setup? (iLoud Micros') Maybe RCA out of the Zen DAC? Would that also mean I leave the toggle on the back of the DAC...

S500 arrived today. Got some sennheiser hd 25 blue pads on with an effort. these are very tight, very balanced from what I can tell (only 15 mins on them) can't believe the price . prefer these I've my old CALS and V-80's based on first impressions. Clamping is spot on for me, Not hd 25...

This is crazy that they actually make fakes of something with so little value in the first place. Sorry to all who have received the fake ones. I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk AGES ago. I'm always skeptical on eBay nowadays unless I know the same item has been purchase multiple times before.

Hope mine arrive soon, expedited from Japan was only $18.  I'll be buying these more present if they are as good as I hope.  

^ This, most stuff never gets reduced significantly - look into buying from overseas. Usually if you calculate the possible customs + duty fees, and add them on to the cost of the product it still works out cheaper. If you can void in import stuff too then you're a winner.   High end stuff...

Ordered one yesterday, looking forward to this :)

Surprised by these over the past few days. One thing I really like is that there is no fatigue whatsoever. I hate being judged as one of the bandwagon crew for actually listening to them. Haha.

Quote:   Sorry man, not had time to log on in a few days - I really do get pulled in my this genre on the Yams - The beat just sounds so energetic and snappy in comparison to any other IEM I have (including the Miracle) - It reminds me of my VMODA V-80's in a way, which I enjoy insanely...

Quote: Wow man, cheers for this - I've always been a big fan of Lowkey and Akala and their beliefs and public speeches - Seems we share the same interest

Yea I've heard about the M100's, although I think they'll own a bassier sound signature from what I read - For me the V-80's/M-80's bass is perfectly enough :o

If you were going down the V MODA line I'd lean towards the M-80's/V-80's over the crossfades - From what I've heard they're superior, and I went with them, they will not cease to impress - Unless you wanted a bigger can ofcourse.   Shure's line is also worth looking into, the 440's and...

With my LOD I used to think it was plugged into the ZO all the way but it requires that little extra and you'll hear it 'click' -

I sold my Vsonics last week and didn't listen to them for about 3 weeks previous, but from what I can recall they share similarities - Again, the bass on the Yamaha's is noticeably more forward and dominant in the overall sound signature, but saying that I wouldn't call it overpowering - I much...

I'd say customs are worth every penny, though I've not heard the Q's I'd say jump on them if it's not gonna totally break the bank :)

Definitely not neutral like the vsonics, even though I wouldn't call them totally neutral after hearing other IEM's - These have more thump naturally and certainly are more mid focused, though the highs are impressive themselves, I don't notice and sibilance or fatigue after nearly 3 hours of...
