I received my Somic Milano M3 last week. Fun, clear, basshead sound that are really comfortable for an on-ear. Problem was the cheap plastic build, finger print magnet and not foldable. I sent it back as the left side was buzzing with the bass.

I had the JVC S500 and comfort was a bit of an issue but they were a great portable. Being a bit of a basshead I felt the S500 was a little under my bass expectation though. Replaced them with the 5500 as I gave the S500 to my dad. The 5500 is a comfortable over the ear, that folded, I could...

Thanks. Looks like I was buying from a different seller.   The KZ-A1 has made me believe in IEM's again. Loving the bass. The highs have to be EQ'd down just a tad for me though. Makes me want to try the KZ-RX. So I just ordered (non-"wheat" version, aka without headset).   Also ordered...

  Is this the updated one? http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1.w4004-4007178109.8.lDTNXB&id=27471656444   Quote:    It's based from company to company. Japan was known for shoddy stuff before becoming a powerhouse in the 80's - 90's (?). China is changing and they are starting...

Thinking of picking these up. Would you classify it as a basshead clarity - phone?   BTW was browsing the KZ Official Taobao site and saw the KZ-RX. $12 USD before shipping. You every try this one?

My wife came with my ES800m and KZ-A1 yesterday. Finally get to listen to them.   The I love the sound on the KZ-A1 and the bass is deep and punchy but workmanship wasn't great as I will have to glue the cover on the plug as it slips up when I pull it out of a contact. Might have got a bad...

Sorry I meant MEE S6. I was just curious if the X3 were sweat proof as they reminded me of the S6.   But I don't think the X3 would make it even if I taped them up. I sweat like crazy when jogging and the S6 (which is "5" star moisture resistant) are starting to deteriorate. Give MEE credit...

Figured as much.  They are selling them as sports phones on a Taobao site though. Was curious.   My KZ-A1 and ES800m have come in but I can't try them until Tuesday. Might check the X3 out.

Sounds a bit like the ME Electric S9. I had to work on the seal also. Then they get bassy. Are the X3 water resistant of any kind btw?

  Check out Trakstar HD5500 or HD6000.

Where at? EDIT:WRONG QUOTE.

Taobao but I was China local when I bought them. Not sure where if they post international.   http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.3.bJshUG&id=27517824017

  I haven't heard either of your mentioned headphones but the 5500 are probably your best bet. With EDM they were great but blew my mind with acid jazz. I haven't had a problem with comfort. If your ears stick out a bit they might touch the grills of the inside of the headphones but from the...

Thanks. I didn't realize they were on-ear. I'm still undecided with with on-ear style. Comfort takes a hit but there are some decent priced and nice sounding cans out there that are on-ear.   You have any recommendations for over-the ear that are considered compact from China? That are Bass...

How is the comfort on the 539? Does it fold up? How would you compare the sound to the JVC S500 or Takstar 5500 (thanks for the info btw). I'm look for a compact over the ear. Just ordered Awei ES800 and KS-A1. If I like either of them, I might buy bulk. Christmas and stuff. China is getting...

I got my Takstar 5500 in the mail today. Got it for $39 USD. Definitely a bass clarity headphone. Nice punchy bass. Comfortable. Chord a bit on the long side but no biggie (2.2 meters). Leakage seems minimal. Isolation will get its test as I fly on Monday.

Sorry wasn't clear. Yes the Taobao agent you used.

Ok "Clarity Basshead" might have sold me. As I think I have similar tastes. That is one reason that I am enjoying the JVC S500 (you mentioned the similarity earlier).  They have the bass but still quite good clarity.     I've been using taobao for some of my orders. Can you send me a...

Yeah, I meant neutral. Leakage isn't an issue really, though the wife complains that I listen too loud while listening to my PX100ii's. I am sensitive to high's though so I might skip on the 2050 if they are a bit harsh. Anyone any experience with the 2000? Just curious I'm siding with the...

Thanks. I'm on a visit in China at the moment and I'm stocking up :) I just bought JVC S500 for $39 USD from an importer but then I was at a local store and saw the Takstar 2000 for $25 USD so I started to look on head-fi for some references. Seemily what some people are paying with shipping it...

Hi, This seems to be the only thread especially related to Takstar. I'm looking for an over the ear headphone that generally gives a nice bass punch (like S500) but still decent SQ. I searched this thread and googled the net but can't really get any confirmation if the following cans are what...

Not sure if it applies to the S400s but from what I searched and read in this huge s500 thread, hd-25 velour or ES-7 pads sound like they help the comfort but  sound changes differently pending on which one. I think the clamp lessens with time also but what do I know, I am still waiting for my...

Yeah I've heard about the delay too. I'll keep you posted. I'm in contemplation between the E10 and the E07K at the moment.  

Yeah. That I am aware of that but my question is more do I get better "performance" with separate specialized devices for each task with an E10 and E6 or with a combined DAC/Amp E07k? Edit: Actually when i comes down to it I want more of a V shape signature. What I have read is that the first...

Hello. I'm an entry level budget-fi and since joining head-fi about a month ago I've learned a lot of new stuff including what a DAC is.   Anyways I am in need of a DAC as I want to bypass my IDT soundcard on my Dell when using headphones but also want an amp to up the volume on my Sansa Clip...
