Was searching around but found little on this: how would DT150 pair with udac 2?

I've seen (not here) that some now consider the SE425 obsolete.  What would be some more contemporary alternatives with a similar sound signature?  Just curious, not necessarily looking to buy.

Thanks, I'll read up on PL50 & R50.   Isolation didn't occur to me bc I mostly (99%, really) use them in a relatively quiet office environment.  So it's nice to have it from time to time, but it's not a dealbreaker. For the different complimentary thing I have full-size Alessandro MS1 (of...

The part about metallic highs sure doesn't sound appealing to me.  Could you give some more examples of phones where you didn't experience it? 

Old school it is.  If I remember correctly, your review of SHE9850 here was one of the reasons I got them. Thanks, so 750 go of my list then. The Yams have the advantage of being on sale now here. Haven't really thought about isolation, but now that you mention it, I enjoyed it quite a...

Thanks

Does someone know by chance how do the Yams compare to Philips SHE9850?  I'm looking for a quick replacement, and the Yams are available locally.  Although I enjoyed the typical BA traits in SHE9850, I'd fine with a DD as long as its warmish and on the quick side, but still forgiving.  Also, I'd...

Does by chance someone know how do MA 750 compare to SHE9850?  I'm looking for a quick replacement.  Although I enjoyed the typical BA traits in SHE9850, I'm considering MA 750 as they are easily available locally for an OK price.  Plus they look like they're gonna last a while.  I'm looking for...

Thanks! 

That's what I see most people writing, and several reviews emphasize their 'smoothness.'  Yet, there are some who mention sibilance or 'harshness.'  Could this perhaps be a quality control issue?

I'm considering them, but sibilance would be a dealbreaker for me.   What genres and formats did you listen to?

Great, thanks for the info.

Is the single ended version is less likely to develop these cable problems?

Sounds great, keep us posted.

OK.  These seem to go for ~$360 here, that's a bit above what I'd like to spend (and the price of the cheapest locally made customs, no idea if those are any good though).

Yeah, I've seen some really good deals there.  Still, with the post service, customs, and exchange rate movements where I'd prefer to buy something in store in the local currency.   Alright, thanks, I'll look more into them, this push-pull design seems really interesting, and the price...

Hi, thanks, this is really interesting.  Yeah, I'm not using EQ at all and would rather not start.  How are the CKR9 sibilance-wise?

Thanks for the recommendation, they look really interesting.  Unfortunately, they are a bit above my budget.

Thanks for the recommendation, it's great to get an opinion from someone who listens to similar material.  Three headphones ago someone told me "just get the IE8".  Perhaps they were right then and perhaps they are right still, but somehow I didn't.  I don't doubt that all the three models are...

How's the sound compared to SE425?

Let me resurrect this to ask if anoynone knows how does the current Shure line up compare to SHE9850 in terms of the sound signature.

I'm pondering a similar choice as the OP did, and there has been some informative advice dispensed ITT, so let me try here.  For me, it pretty much boils down to SE425, RE600, and IE80.  Plus there is some chance CKR9 could be available.  (I'd strongly prefer to buy it in my city bc of the...

Got them last week as my first BA IEM, convinced by ClieOS's review (thanks!).   The included foam tips seem to work best for me. How are these different sound-wise from comply T100 and shure olive? (and from silicones the medium ones are also acceptable)   I must say I am impressed by...

I am planning a purchase of IEM for max $75 for use w ipod nano 3g and audigy 2. I had akg k324p before ( lost them ) which were noticeably sibilant with these sources.   I would strongly prefer IEM that are not sibilant. I am considering SM PL50, SHE9850, and SHE9800. How are they...
