So where's the E60? Dual-BA has always been my favorite set up (UE700 > 900, IM02>03, XBA20 > 30, etc etc).   Also don't like how ATH is following footsteps of Sony XBA series naming convention for each new generation, by adding more zeroes behind the numbers (XBA 1 --> XBA 10 --> XBA 100)...

  Despite the CKR9 and 10's weighty bass and spacious presentation, I feel that the sound at its core still carry many of ATH's traditional house sound traits for their smaller drivered earphones/headphones/IEMs. So if you like that sort of thing you'd enjoy the CKR10s for you!

I don't know about the new XBA A3s, but I hated the H3s. Just a generally sucky pair of IEMs. I heard A3 is a good improvement, but not willing to try Sony again until they have an instant classic like the EXKs.    CKR10 definitely has that bass impact and crisp highs. CKR9 was too screamingly...

  Where did you read those reviews?    Owning both SE535 and CKR9, there is NOTHING in common between those two, except both are IEMs and make sound.

Yamaha EPH-100SL for $91.99 on Amazon, brand new.   "Very Good" sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals, $65   "Like New" sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals, $70.   Excellent price as these have been going between $150-200 forever.

When I purchased IM02 I auditioned 03 and 04 as well. And I have been thinking about IM03 ever since. But then again the IM03 costs almost twice as much as the IM02

  I was very pleasantly surprised by their sound when I briefly auditioned them at a fye store. 

  Get the H3. For $90 more you are getting much much better sound.

I for one loved the sound of the momentums. Bass is deep and assertive but never too much. For reference I really like the sound of my ER4PTs and the Q701s. And I don't feel that the mid and treble of the Momentums are in anyway compromised because of the bass.    I've never been a huge fan of...

  WOW OH WOW boy am I glad to have checked this thread today. It is still there for $249.00. I purchased for $349.00 a week ago. Just got price adjusted.    Was seriously thinking about returning these at $349.00, but at $249, it is a keeper. 

My order of the Accidentally Extraordinary 51st Studios has arrived. I am glad to report that whether it was accidental or intentional, the phones sound extraordinary. There is medium coloration to the sound, warm, musical, and fun. The bass notes will definitely take on a more prominent role...

Unfortunately, most companies are focusing solely on in-ears nowadays. It is difficult to find a quality earbud style earphone from a reputable brand that is widely available and popular.    I would suggest you look into Philips, maybe Yuin, But these are all sub $30 and while they are...

Said seller passing by... check out the discovery thread and joker's multi-IEM review thread. 

I like my single/dual-BA IEMs (ER4PT, UE700) far better than my SE535 and W4R. Less size, more comfort, better sound. 

How creative!!! One could even get a set that hangs on the wall, and just coil the cable inside while leave the earpieces hanging out, so you know which one you are grabbing!    Big earphone companies should design and sell earphone organizer solutions!   Quote:

I must be the only one who have trouble keeping my IEMs organized, since nobody here ever talks about it.    Here is my issue: I often find my earphones scattered all over the place. I would have a set under my pillow, a set on my nightstand, a set in my nightstand's drawer, another one on my...

The iBasso DX50 player freezes constantly and cannot play music correctly. It almost made me go deaf.   My DX50 came running on v1.16, the newest firmware. When I was listening to some tunes, I simply pressed the volume-up button a few times, the audio instantly jumped to 255 (max value) from...

I am pretty sure I will be buying all 3... Been regretting selling off EX600 and EX1000 but now is my chance to right the wrongs!

GR07 sounds warm and full and bass heavy compared to my Ety ER4PTs.  Quote:

Not doubting your own personal experience with Brainwavz, but calling them "generally poorly made" based on what limited experiences you've had with the brand would be absolutely false. And this is based on the collective reviews of Brainwavz products on the forums as well as on Amazon.

I'm a loyal fan of Brainwavz and VSonic. Both have earphones in your price range. Look them up. 

Every Jaben store should have a large collection of lossless files - 2TB+. If you bring a hard drive there they will let you take some since you bought from them. I know this is a standard practice in mainland, not sure about Jaben HK but it's worth a try. 

Yes, you need to get a big and fitting tip, and get a real deep insertion. It may feel uncomfortable or too big at first, but take it slow and just insert them into your ear holes. You will get used to it eventually and start feeling good. 

I have XBA3 , GR07 MKII, and ER4-PT (in this case would be similar to HF5).    I am voting for GR07 MKII, hands down. I do love my ER4-PT as well. XBA3 is not worth $150. Maybe $120. I sold mine for $100 and I don't know who I should sorry for - me or the buyer. 

Those are regular prices. In fact, in the two years since SE215's debut, it has NEVER went over $99. And it goes below $99 quite often.    Please know what you are posting and at least do some research. Sites like camelcamelcamel, or just a google shop search, would help a great deal (no pun...
