I did it the other way round. I ordered the Smabat first and if there's something I can't stand about them I'll try 2 of the cheapers ones that you recommended ;D. Thank you!

ST10 seems very good. Aren't the others you listed below all inferior to them as they are 5x-10x cheaper ??

Oh that's sounds pretty ideal, of course the cheaper the better haha. I guess that some kind of good old midway of neutral/v-shape signature should do fine. The genre preference is: modern/alternative rock, punk rock, pop rock, pop. The earbuds are gonna be used at home as well as outside.

Oh yes I meant earbuds :D. Just didn't know the term. Thank you very much I'll chose something from the thread :).

I am looking for any decent sounding earphones. The only requirements are: - Not ear plug based. Because I want to hear the surroundings - Under 90$ Any recommendations ?

^ gold ^ :D :D :D

@yawg I don't understand why you keep pushing it so tirelessly...

Already after 20 hours of burn-in the sound had become enormously clearer. Treble sharpened, the veil disappeared. Now after 50 hours the sound it truly magnificent. The bass quality is comparable to my DT770 which means just top level :D. Beautiful natural mids, there's just the right amount of...

So they arrived! Out of the box I am unimpressed which I expected. That happened with 50% of my other headphones too :D. Right now the sound is overall muffled, lazy, unresolving. But as I already read 35 pages of this thread I have the best hopes they gain the resolution with a proper burn-in...

Thank you! I ordered them open box with a little discount. Total 193 GBP including shipping. I hope they're just fine :-D. Yeah I already noticed, reading through the thread. Can't be missed. Anyway thanks for recommendation @yawg ;D. Maybe some day I get to them.

So I just pulled the trigger. After reading through this thread and the reviews I couldn't resist. Upgrading from Takstar Pro 82 which had considerably suppressed mids and too analytical/cold highs. Can't wait!

Playback mode: Shuffle Problems: - The player doesn't show the actual number of a track in queue so you don't see how many tracks were already played and how many tracks remain. - Upon restarting the player forgets which tracks from an album were already played and begins to play anew. - The...

Ok I'll see what I can do. But I think I'm going to end up having a professional do it for me :D.

I agree, physically HD50 is absolutely great ! And the case is superb too. I have a long time broken Audio-Technica ATH-ES55 and AKG K450 in my drawer. Should I swap one of those ?! :)

Yeah, looks like it really is. It sounds like Marshall II :/. And thanks for a tip.

So I just got this Meizu HD50 and I am confused about the sound. Compared to ANY of my other headphones the treble on these sounds really really bad even after 15+ hours of burn in. It is seriously muffled. The bass and mids are there and I hear no distortion but the high frequencies seems like...

I tried that. If random mode is set, the album goes on repeat no matter what.

The player plays in repeat mode despite being set to random mode only. How do I set it to play album in random mode and then STOP ???

Great :)

In the survey Note field I asked for stating 25$ custom value so my package doesn't get delayed by a week and charged more. Will the note be regarded ??

Ok so it will not be that heavy , great news ;). I backed the aluminium. Thank you.

Backer #dontrememberthenumber here. Will it really be so heavy - 145g ? I use Plenue D now and it weights only 95g. And Sony NW-A45 has the same weight too.

Ok I just made a pledge. I have only one suggestion although it's probably too late to be relevant. I wear the DAP hanging around my neck for which I need the DAP to include some kind of strap hole in it. For example Sony a45 includes it as you can see when you check point number 9 in the...

Oh man, the HP151 are on my list as well as the DT770 but I just ordered the DT770 to complement my DT990, based on what I read about their bass. Now thanks to you I'll be living with this persistent feeling that I missed something until it forces me to buy the HP151 too :D. But fu.ck it, why...
