What's dac/codec inside? And what's the connector? Is it a microusb device or usb type-c like Shanling M1? I really got used to type-c in a month or so, one cable for a smartphone and dap will be nice.

Was there this Final Audio earphone available for audition?

I see the new donguri model on the pic! Is it co-donguri? Any impressions?

Beoplay H3 sound really good and are exceptional in the terms of build quality and design but they will make the dac section pricier - it will cost more than 200 $. Bad news. But I really like these earphones so my feelings are mixed.

The same for me.

I know, I believe I am with my donguri-raku (the cheapest one) one of only a few people with ocharaku in my country. Ordered directly from Japan by means of a mail forwarding company.

Kind of off-topic but what a beautiful metal housing colour the new syou iems have! Want to hear them all!

Nathan, thank you so much. My decision to buy donguri-raku (the plastic one) last summer was based on your reviews of flat 4 sui and modified ath-ckm55. I was going to give ocharaku a try and i found them really unique. I have enjoyed this earphones much. I am considering buying flat 4 kuro...

Got donguri-raku three months ago, I think it is a real jem for its price, extremely nice and full sounding earphone with a nice bass and very detailed mids. It has a sound signature which is so rare nowadays. This month also one new model was announced: Donguri-Syou (equalent for Bell in...

There will be no volume restrictions because there are no headphones with this DAP.

There is not too much information in this review concerning sound. Whathifi's review has some nice pics, the player itself looks really great, I think the UI is also convenient enough. Thanks!

Some info as i get it from official ocharaku site: new and much cheaper plastic donguri were announced for July - http://www.trdsn.com/eng/product.html

As for me, durable enogh. I've got mine for a year and and a half and didn't have any problems at all.

And some press-release: http://www.audio-technica.co.jp/release/release_detail.php?releaseId=77

Ok! CKM-series are finally updated. All of them are extremely beautiful visually.

When we are talking about earphones they are always cheap to produce (just in the aspect of production, not the whole cycle including research, etc). So when you earn enough money to cover the cost of reseach you can reduce the price, sorry for some economic truisms. I don't think Vsonic is...

There are not so many tips in the box of classic version, it is one of the points why it is cheaper.

They are not really the best available iems for their price but good ones. Not the best option available really

There were never any plans about them after the new im series were announced.

Sorry for reviving such an old thread. I am very intrested in this old iems. Has anybody the experience of them? I have an opportunity to buy them cheap that's why asking. Thanks in advance. PS I tried to find more lively thread about ep3 but failed.

Thank you for your excellent review.

I am well impressed with this update. And price is reasonable.

Thanks a lot for your review. Sorry, I just do have a question. Where are they made in? Listened to them once and felt these iems are sounding like audio-technica ones. Afterwards i have read somewhere that beo colaborated with at for form 2.
