Tips from Philips SHE3590 works very well for IM50.

That would be nice, but they are little company. I have feeling that Audio Technica this year will release it's first hybrids.

From what i have read it isnt. CK100 has coloured sound unlike CK100Pro.

http://www.pandawill.com/original-xiaomi-brand-new-version-inear-earphone-35mm-stereo-earphone-with-mic-control-talk-p84667.html $18 with free shipping. pandawill is legit site, so i think that these pistons should be genuine.

Ck100 is mid centric, but pros are treble boosted. Ck100Pro also is analytical with more bass and details.

Under $60 i recomend Audio technica IM50, but if you dont have problems with harsh treble on some songs, you can buy Audio Technica CKN50 for $35.

Actually Ck100Pro have half titan half plastic design. Where i live now is -19 Celsius or 2 Fahrenheit and i dont have problem with it. Biggest problem of new IM series fit is that annoying memory cable. Im03 use same drivers as CK100pro, but is different tuned, so it sounds bit better -...

after some time(6-10 months), i believe, that price of IM03 will drop to $200-250 and IM04 to $300-350 shipped with tenso.

amazing thread, have helped me much. Joker - what about Astrotec AX7 and UE700?

I wouldn't bother with these, because i have owned HD595 and they were totaly unimpressive. Only thing what i liked was comfort.

Yeah, but CK100Pro at $290 is cheaper than IM03 and have better cable and titanium housing.

Havent heard much, but will try my best 1.Audio Technica ES700(but sound poor on bright songs) 2.Sennheiser HD25-1 and Audio Technica WS33X 4. Sennheiser HD595 and Brainwavz HM5 6. Superlux HD668B(have harsh treble) 7. AKG K518LE 8. VModa Crossfade LP2

ATH-CK100Pro(Epic)>>ATH-IM50/CKS1000/CKS99/CKN70(but they have harsh treble on some tracks)>TF10/ATH-CKS77(harsh treble/CKM500(harsh treble)/CKX5(also harsh on treble)>XBA4(no bass)=MMDTributes=Westone 2>Sunrise Xcape IE=MH1C>RE0(no bass)>ATH-CKL203=VC02>SHE9700>SHE3590=Awei...

CK100Pro easily wins this followed BY TF10. CK100Pro>>TF10>Westone 2=XBA-4>>>A151>PL50.

Guys - this is 3 years old thread.

Ck100pro is one of the best IEms under $600 - better than W4R, UE900, SE535 and probably even better than XBA-H3 and EX1000 . it has perfect build quality and are comfortable. They have amazing detail level, i can hear microdetails that i dont hear on CKS1000, TF10, XBA-4. Lows are super fast...

Those CK100pro's for $290 shipped is deal of the month! Get them while You can, because they are out of production since October. i have them and after listening to them it is hard to like any other IEM or headphone i own - CKS1000, IM50, ES700, HD25, TF10 because they are almost perfection. 

i found my white IM50 as natural upgrade to Soundmagic E30( i also had these 2 years ago in white). They have similar looks, materials and sound signature. only IM50 sound much better and have removable cables. but E30 have better fit and cable.

About CKN70. yes, in many songs treble is too harsh, but in other half songs which are darker they sound realy good. I found them bit better in SQ than TF10, XBA-4, IE8 and on par with CKS1000 and IM50. Only IEM that beats CKN70 is, of course, CK100Pro. Another big letdown about CKN70 is...

I actually enyoy X3 a lot, because it has exellent sound quality, but newest classic is as awesome as X3 on sound. And i'm not in new territory - i have had 10+ daps in last 3 years, and only few were ipods. Old wolfson ipods and first cirrus ipods are nowhere near X3 or newest Classic and...

i have X3 for 2 months now. And i dont recomend it to anyone. 1) It crashes and freezes a lot. Actual UI is pretty good apart from crashes. 2) It has some weird noises when in song is few frequencies(It isnt hiss) 3) It doesnt sound any better than 2012 Ipod classic 4) It needs 4-6 hours to...

I have IM50. Sound is realy good for $56 - bit better overall than any other $200 iem i have heard- beats CKS1000, CKN70, TF10, XBA-4, MMDT and so on. Of course they are easily beaten by exeptional CK100Pro(same as IM03) They sound best from Ipod Classic and Clip Zip. With Fiio X3 bass is...

These are new GR07 Classics, and they are inferior to old GR07 versions, so not worth to buy.(look at GR07 Classic thread)  With cheapest shipping methods IM50 is $56 and 70 is $101 from Cdjapan. I myself have IM50 - sound is realy good - bit better than any other $200 IEm i have heard - TF10...
