I've been really enjoying Samson's new Z series studio monitor headphones, and just saw they announced two new IEMs w/BA drivers at NAMM coming in March, in case anyone else is interested. I'll be awaiting these to try out the Zi100...

Was the B50 renamed to B100?

I'm going by the following info provided by someone who appears to be a Brainwavz representative: Originally Posted by razzer001 View Post I loved our B2, they were great, but the new B200 dual armature earphones are just an entire class above, take the B2 with all its pros and without the...

When will the B50 model be available?

I looked at the model you're referencing from Superlux. It does look like a rebranding, but I saw on Amazon there is an HD 662 set from Superlux that looks even closer to the Monoprice. I'm intrigued now. I may have to try some of these out from Superlux now. 

Monoprice has a winner with these. My initial impressions still stand after some burn in. These have a comfortable, retro monitor style with a sound tuned for modern music. These are not tuned "flat" monitors forstudio production. The low bass hits hard without any bloated muddled overly warm...

Check out my initial impressions of their new $30 over ear retro monitors. These are even better than the 12330 in my opinion. They amp up the sub bass that the 12330 seriously lacked and the mids are slightly recessed for a really powerful and exciting V shaped profile, different from the...

These are apparently still so new from Monoprice that there is no reviews anywhere, not even on the Monoprice product page. They are only $29.99 so I took a chance, having purchased many other headphones and earphones from MP in the past. These are my initial impressions:           ...

These look really interesting. Of note is their HiFi Over the ear headphones going for $30. They are normally $70. At $30 they are a steal. Unfortunately they haven't really gotten much attention on Head Fi.

Is this a secret? On the right it says single, dual, triple drivers, and "coming soon."

I have used a ton of budget under $20-30 IEMs, but Sony has never stood out for me. I'll have to look at these. I use the $12 Panasonic HJE125 ergo fit and find them to be the best in the budget category. I'm always up for trying new budget IEMs though.

I have owned the 9927 as well. I really wish Monoprice would put the drivers in a different housing to improve isolation and long-term comfort. I want that SQ in a much better design that I'd be willing to pay more for. But the stuff Monoprice keeps putting out is crap for your average listener...

Have you tried the Soundmagic E50? I think the E50 are similar to the Monoprice but better in comfort. Like the Monoprice, the E50 will not be accused of sounding "warm," but still a very smooth listen. I think the E50 could even sound somewhat thin on certain genres. Definitely not for bassheads.

Purchased these on Amazon recently for $20 including one-day Prime shipping. I wasn't expecting these to be as good as they've turned out to be. These should be on any short list for budget audiophile quality on-ear portable headphones.      I'm going to keep this review short.    Build...

  *Closest competition: Soundmagic E50, mentioned below*   I got these for $15 on Amazon along with the 9100. I think both of these were released late last year. The 8100, pictured here, is an astounding deal. I've used the even more budget-oriented and more popular 3590 as well as the newer...

Another observation: they seem easy to drive with my HTC One A9 phone. Also, to maybe qualify what I said above about the lack of harsh treble, I think this may be source dependent as well as how loud you're driving them. I'm keeping them at just over half of my phone's output which works...

Sorry for the delay. I do have some brief impressions, what I lack is time. So I'll just jump in: the housings are definitely big but I have not found fit to be an issue at all, and they are very comfortable despite their size. Build quality includes cheap plastic, no surprise there. Too early...

Have them coming this week. I'll provide impressions shortly thereafter.

I got that same email. Consider me intrigued.

How bassy are these compared with the Delta?

It sounds like the Brainwavz Delta provides the sound you're after better than S0 or S1. The latter two are more V-shaped versus the warm and balanced Delta.

Just purchased these in Black for $15 on Brainwavz' site. Apparently they are available in white as well and at a bargain price. Been waiting for a black version since receiving the blue-that-is-indistinguishable-from-purple variant back in October.

While I understand that you're trying to explain what a DAC actually does versus what you assumed I thought it was supposed to do, you have really kind of misunderstood the point of this post. Granted, it is my fault for using the word "difference" in my original post, suggesting I was actually...

The option in audio settings reads "32 bit Hi-Fi DAC" with an On/Off toggle. It is only able to be toggled on or off with headphones plugged in. Not really trying to do anything other than hear the alleged difference this phone offers compared with others I have used previously.

I will try that. Appreciate the information.
