    Absolute best budget earbuds?

    Here is my SHE3800 that I ordered from Fastech recently. Phillips is misspelled. Does anybody have a different SHE3800? These look different than Uncle @golov17

    New- Zishan Z1 DSD player thread

    Interesting. I have been using my Zishan Z1 as a USB DAC with my Thinkpad laptop. I have been very impressed with the quality. Yesterday I listened to a good number of Spotify (extreme quality) tracks and didn't notice anything overly negative. I'd like to try to my Etymotic ER4's to see if I...

    Absolute best budget earbuds?

    Are these branded Glycee or something like that? I bought a couple of these but thought they sounded kind of cheap. I opened one as carefully as possible but I damaged a driver and one ear no longer works. I have one more set...guess I should give them a try. It cracked me up to see the...

    "Straight-style" canal IEM (like Shure E4C)

    Etymotic ER4 seem to fit the profile but they are more than $70. How about the Etymotic MC5, H5 or ER7? It seems like these are all near your budget.

    Absolute best budget earbuds?

While the CD craze was going on, people started dumping records in mass as they transitioned to a new format. I took advantage of this and began collecting vinyl. I massed a large collection and gradually sold...

    Obscure Chinese DAPs

    Absolute best budget earbuds?

    I just received the Faael or Fareal 32 ohm buds in the mail. Wow...after using the Vido's and TY Hi-Z these buds sound anemic in the bass department. They definitely sound neutral to my ears.

    Obscure Chinese DAPs

    Here is the Benjie X1. I think it is a pretty sexy looking DAP and am surprised it hasn't received much love. Perhaps it has been overshadowed by the Benjie S5. Nonetheless, one can be had for around $25 on Aliexpress. I am very close to pulling the trigger on one. To be honest, I've just spent...
