Hey all, Thanks for those suggestions so far! Some interesting stuff in there, not familiar with Campfire Audio and didn't know iBasso was making iems. The iBasso look like a great choice at the $100 price point! That said, keep em coming guys, planning to look into all of these further from...

Hey Everyone, So I've been out of the audio scene for a while and am finally looking to pick up some good iems again. Right now I've got a pair of Massdrop X Noble that I enjoy but may be passing on/giving to a good friend as a great intro to better quality gear. This means I'm looking for some...

I've owned the m50's in the past and found that I just couldn't get a good fit with them. Too tight and just rubbed my ears wrong. The Beyers I've owned in the past were very comfy so no worries on that for the DT770's

Hi Everyone, I've been around the forums for a while but haven't been active in the audio scene for quite some time. I know I'm way behind the curve regarding new stuff out there so looking for some help. Hoping for suggestions/advice on closed headphones that can be easily drive (phone or...

Hey everyone,   Well like the title says I'm trying to set up my first audio system. Basically I want a record player and some speakers that do a decent job for the least possible money. I'm on a very tight budget here and just getting into the record and speaker set up.   So far I have...

Quote: That is sort of what I was figuring from what I have heard/read about those various components however just the sheer financial scale of that makes me question the sense in it, but to each his own I guess...    

I'm actually questioning if there is a purpose to that level of excess...

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into the mini3 although my big thing is battery life so other amps might be a better choice...

Hey Joker,   Just wanted to let you know that I got a pair of the HiFiMan RE262's as a replacement for my defective Sunrise Xcape IE's and so far I have been loving them. The sound is just enjoyable and relaxing. I don't think about the fact that I'm wearing IEM's or listening to music. I...

Quote: Yes they do

Quote: Really great description of the CK10's. I found your comment about the CK10's dissecting the music to be spot on, that is precisely how I heard them. They allowed you to analyze your music to a degree I have never experienced before or since. Now granted this wasn't the most musical...

Quote:   I'm positive my safari has a non-standard cartridge. I know when I went to buy refills that the standard refill cartridge looked to be slightly different in size than the actual Lamy brand one's for fountain pens. Pretty sure leftnose is right that Lamy has it's own design for...

Quote: Thanks for the compliments, I simply try to say what I'm feeling honestly, to the best of my abilities.   As for the Xcited, I have not tried them, I have read a few reviews about them and comparing the reviews of the Xcape IE to the Xcited it seemed that the Xcape was more of...

Quote: It is great to find something that works so well for the money, really makes you put the financial aspect into perspective. I agree that this won't be a popular opinion and probably will lead to some interesting debate in the near future but to me all I can do is tell the truth...

Hey headfi!   I have recently received a pair of the Sunrise Xcape Impressive Edition (IE for short) and have felt compelled by these sub $100 wonders to write up a bit of a review. First though a quick shout out to frogbeats audio for having these guys in stock at a great price and for...

Hey ClieOS,   thanks for reviewing the Sunrise Xcape IE. I read your review about it a few times before ordering a pair. I am happy to say that they are great, the sound signature is exactly what I want and the fit is great. Right from the box I knew these were special and have been...

x2 that notion, got my Sunrise Xcape IE's from Frogbeat and they were awesome, top notch customer service all around.

Quote: Care to elaborate on the build issues? Nothing was mentioned in his review of the Xcape v1 in the multi-iem review thread so I'm curious as to what issues your talking about. The build quality to me seems to be fine so far, no chin sliders and a straight plug but other than that...

Really quick impressions/update here for those interested:   So my Sunrise Xcape IE arrived today and although I only got a few hours on them of good listening time I know they are here to stay. Right from the box I can't think of another IEM that has struck me this strongly and caused me so...

I paid $300 even for my Senn HD600's a little over a year ago and have never questioned the purchase. Can honestly say they along with the Schiit Asgard have been the only audio gear purchases that I have not once wondered if I made the right choice. Anything under $300 in my book is completely...

Quote: I seem to be in the same boat as you regarding the fit of the EX600's. I have gotten them to the point where they don't cause discomfort anymore however they are not comfortable either. They always have this mildly annoying "present" feeling.   Also, I agree regarding their...

Oh man mistake, didn't even think about beat audio to be honest. Haven't really heard or seen much of their stuff before so they didn't even enter my mind when thinking of custom cable company's and if they make something for the EX600.

I'm pretty sure a replacement cable would have to be custom made because of the quite unusual screwing lock mechanism the Sony's use for their replaceable cables. I haven't seen a cable on an iem use this type of lock ever before so it might be tough/impossible to find a mass produced replacement.
