    New Miles Davis Trumpet (not Tribute) earphones

    Congrats! You make me want to pull out my Trumpets to try them with my iPhone 6! Hmmm.... I think I will transfer some FLAC files to my iPhone and check it out! Thanks for the inspiration! LOL

    HE-560 With 901 DAP - Questions??

    I can drive my HE-560's quite fine with the Balanced Amp Card on my HM-901. Of course every so often I stumble upon a music file that is low gain and I find myself feeling like I could use 10% more juice but that's not the norm. Usually with the Balanced Card there's plenty of gain IMHO. On a...

    You are welcome alucard177. My pleasure! Yeah the Trumpets are bassier but in a good way. They are not loose. Just be sure to run them hard (break-in) for 50-75 hours before any critical listening sessions. I think you'll be happy and for only $99, why not, add the HiFiMAN RE-400 to your...

    New Miles Davis Trumpet (not Tribute) earphones

    So after 'waking up' the Trumpets I have to conclude that I would choose the RE-400's overall. Sadly I am pressed for time so I can't post anything longer but basically in direct comparison the Trumpets have a slightly thinner, more stylized treble than the RE-400. The Trumpet's highs can sound...

    Ok so it's a little premature to say conclusively since I've just began listening, but so far I give the edge to the HiFiMAN RE-400. The Miles Tribute hasn't been used in over a year (don't be shocked by this, I own over 20 different IEM's and can only listen to a couple at a time) and they...

    They parts are metal. As far as a direct sound comparison between the HiFiMAN RE-400 and the Monster Miles Davis Trumpets, that's a great question and I can be of help with as I own both. I will listen to both tonight and let you know in the morning. However since yesterday I have been...

    New Miles Davis Trumpet (not Tribute) earphones

    I think so. Absolutely. I think they are very distinctive and probably not going to be around forever so you might as well get one now before they become collectibles.

    Good for you. Personally I think they will get much better. To speed up the process just assign a source (CD-player, iPod) and let the music rip at moderate levels non-stop for like three of four days straight and watch what happens. Stuff a pillow on them though to not annoy your friends...

    Quote:   Absolutely. And I hope I wasn't taken the wrong way. Syan25 is certainly entitled to his opinion is just that I thought he was coming down too hard upon only having listened to the set briefly or so it seemed. If he would have clearly prefaced his comments as "his first...

    So these are yours then? You don't really specify whether you've just bought a pair or not. But if yours to keep just put in the time (at least 100 hours at moderate volume) and try different ear tips. I think you will be impressed.

    New Miles Davis Trumpet (not Tribute) earphones

    Quote:   If Syan25 just "finally heard them today" don't you think it's a little premature to recommend he go return them after what seems like a cursory listen? I don't know guys (and gals) but I am not one to make a final decision upon a single session. So much could change after ample...

    New Miles Davis Trumpet (not Tribute) earphones

    Well you are being rather vague about it don't you think? Things I would like to know are: 1. What kind of a sample did you hear and where; Did you try a store sample, bought your own, or borrow a friend's set? 2. Did you try it with your own music and/or your own player? 3. How...

    Relax. You just got them! You need a a strong 50-to-75 hours burn-in and all the resolution will be there. These are excellent universals. Trust me. The only reason you could eventually hear differences through your Tributes is because you owned them (presumably) for a long time and had plenty...

    iBasso D-Zero

    The D-Zero isn't bright in my opinion. Many like to listen to products in the context of a few minutes, with a product not broken-in, and or with a headphone or IEM that simply wasn't a good match and they jump to conclusions. Only trust to the opinions of thos of us whom actually own and...
