I received my PM4 and was planning to give a feedback, but there is already an updated version. Bob, I don't know if it is a "bug or a feature", but it seems possible to order several updated PM4 with the trade-up code.

Rillpac ( $27 in june ), but recently hakuzen confirmed that the $18 from XiaoYu was legit so I'm seriously considering getting a backup.

I have both, GR07 is more on the warm side while XE800 is clear sounding, I won't open them to check, but they both are excellent to my ears ( especially XE800 at $20 ).

Thanks crabdog, but I'm not actually looking for recommendations, I'd like to know what is good budget sound for him, since he described YHS 001 as mediocre. Agree on the W1, but now with the ZS3 at $8, competition is really tough.

That's $15+. What are your low cost iems?

Mediocre? What are your picks around $10-$15?

Not on AE, but GearBest has the best deal right now ( except if you're looking for the matte shell ): http://www.gearbest.com/on-ear-over-ear-headphones/pp_436717.html?wid=21

Since you've got some info from MaGaosi last time ( as far as I remember ), could you get a confirmation about the Knowles 30017?

Knowledge that's a big word ( you could also say that for VinceHill24 who got the info ). I don't have time to chat, so I think that my message counter will stay low. Anyway, audio has been a passion since I was a teenager, so I've had time to learn a few things .

Nice. Magaosi gained quite some popularity here with their previous products and if these are using the 30017, with a little boost at 1kHz we may have a great iem if we can get it around $80. On my wishlist.

Interesting. Looks like a Trinity Atlas Delta with an additional BA.

You're welcome. I'd like to see KZ standardizing its connector, those aftermarket cables are pretty expensive compared to KZ earphones.

That's the ZS3 cable. ZST is here: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/2016-New-KZ-ZST-Dedicated-Cable-0-75mm-2-Pin-Upgraded-Plated-Silver-Cable-2-PIN/1825606_32738979652.html

Found it too fancy at first, but after listening to the Series 5 I'd like to hear them. Wood finish ( code 3 ) looks classy.

Same here. I don't understand people stating that these are bad because they're very smooth, overlooking all the pros and focusing on a con doesn't make sense. Personally my main problem is fitting due to large nozzles. If the $20 ones listed on AE are genuine, that could be the best deal at...

What was the problem with the Hisenior you got? I hope bass was ok, since the DD will be used for that. The interesting point is that they clearly advertise the TWFK for the dual BA.   Do we have a volunteer?

Agree. As I said before, budget iem is a fun hobby, discovering cheap earphones and what they can do for little money is the main point on this thread. Recommending users that come here to get a top iem doesn't make sense, you can afford to be disappointed by a $10-$50 iem not a $1000, you...

I remember the QT5 which was supposedly the 8th wonder in iem, a simple look at the FR should disqualify any reviewer giving a positive feedback, there is a limit to "opinion". Any user caught by the patrol hyping a product when the later consensus is mainly negative should at least get a...

I'd like to see moderators doing something about "hypers", I don't like what I've been reading lately, many headfiers seem to overreact when getting a new toy and are posting overly positive feedback without taking their time, just to be the first to post about the brand new iem. If you want to...

Interesting. Any info on frequency response compared to previous version? I'd like to play with my PM4 before ordering this one.

Don't want to open a debate on GearBest, personally the problem I have with GB is customer service which is below average and sometimes really pathetic, but the ZS3 price dropped again $ 8.38 ( excellent sound but fitting is problematic for me )...

Considering the price difference ( less than $4 ), getting it with the cable is a good option IMO.   Someone gave a better deal on the Tingo ( $ 7.82 )...

It is in my wishlist, but no angled MMCX, not the best setup for OTE with DT2.

The treble peak adds some brightness, but the PMV is overall very good and easy to EQ ( I can do it even with the very simple equalizer on the ONN X5 ). I'd like to try the 1more triple to compare those two.

No, I have the same problem with DT2 and that's why I don't think I'll get the 4 in 1, even for testing. Try over the ear, but you'll need angled MMCX ( ear hooks may also help ). Someone gave a link to a cable that seems a good choice ( sadly not available at the moment )...
