In Sweden I have the opposite problem. There is an import fee on anything that comes from outside the EU plus 20% of the value, regardless of whether it cost £1 or £100. So I always try to get a few pairs of buds at the same time to justify the ~£10 that will eventually get added to the total...

When I do use my phone I use blackplayer instead. I had Poweramp and used it for ages but the options for shuffle drove me crazy. Now I either have my m0 with me or stream my music to my phone from my NAS. I am quite sure that foobar can easily combine files into one track using the converter...

On mine I am quite sure that there is a mini-pause even with gapless turned on. My advice, if it is that much of an issue for you, would be to rip those albums as one file instead of multiple tracks or basically just accept it. My phone definitely struggles with gapless as well but nothing I...

I actually agree with you. When I realised my ears can not handle IEMs, these were the first decent earbuds I could get hold of that weren't from the supermarket and they have a balanced, pleasing sound. Compared to my Yincrows for example they do sound a bit muddy but their ability brought a...

"blessed are the mids, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5.5) Takstars are on their way, yay

I've got my Denon AH-D1100 as my bass headphones. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it completely butchers a recording. I would prefer something (more) balanced to complement them. I'll do some more research on the Msurs and see what else comes up, if anything. I'm not against getting two or three...

Your review makes the B8 sound so good but the Takstars sound like the better all-round headphones so I think I will just go with my first choice and get those, even if everyone has them now. Goddamn it. Just as I write my reply I check out the N350s (checked reviews for the N650s but not the...

Thanks for the reply! I already have the Takstars in my wishlist and I like the look of them. Some people complain of unnatural treble, which puts me off. Other people think they're better than Jesus so I'm not sure. I will consider both the B8 and the pro 82 and see what I decide. Thanks for...

Hi guys! Are any of these headphones mid-focused? I'm looking for something closed and close to $50 from aliexpress. I looked at the B8, ISK headphones and they all seem either bass heavy, V-shaped or U-shaped. Any ideas?

I'm tempted myself but I only have two ears, one of which doesn't work, so I don't need more.

You'll discover that domestic shipping in China is really fast! I bought on Friday night (in Europe) and all my items had arrived at Superbuy on Monday. You'll also get a picture of your product and shipping options.

No, I am more likely to mess things up than improve anything. Maybe one day. By the way, I use full foams on everything (on the outside). I found it too awkward to put doughnut foams on so stuck with full. But maybe I'll try again soon. I have some these arriving soon though: Audio Technica...

I actually really like both of them but I think the RW-9 gives a more balanced presentation of music. The LLB has really nice mids and detail retrieval but the bass is really lacking, to the extent that sometimes it bothers me. On occasion a song can sound completely different to what I'm used...

The Taobao links are here: Superfire: link Lord.E: link You can just put these links into a buying agent (I used Superbuy and it worked out great) and you get your earbuds from China. Edit: Just tried it with Superbuy and it claims they are not available... Other agents seem to work though.

Not had a chance to listen yet but I have just retrieved a package: inside DQSM Pandas and Yincrow rw-100. Yay!

Trying out my first taobao agent today. I have ordered the new Yincrow rw-100s and the Panda PK2s. Hopefully it all goes smoothly enough.

Wishlisted. Thanks!

Perhaps I should just get something with a PK shell and be happy instead. I won't be opening them up in a hurry, that's for sure.

In that case, I can add them to my wishlist and wait to see how much those new Yincrows cost :D (I have to bulk up my orders to save on customs - in Sweden it's 75SEK/$8 plus VAT, regardless how big the order is, so all those awesomely cheap earbuds that cost $5 end up costing more than...

I had actually completely given up on them arriving (still haven't yet but I've paid customs and they've moved on from there, so perhaps tomorrow or Wednesday) but that was standard China Post instead of Aliexpress Shipping. Are the NiceHCK the Panda Pk2s these ones or are there others? I can't...

Yes, if you have had a bad experience after contacting the seller, or trying to, then cancelling the order is probably not a bad idea. But things with AE can take time. My "lego" dinosaurs I've bought for my son shipped by Air (according to tracking) on the 19th of March and after a month are...

Ordered 25th of February, shipped the 28th, received on the 12th March. This was all via Aliexpress standard shipping.

I got a few buds from that store: yincrow rw-9, k's LLB in black and Headroom MS16. Great service and no complaints. I want to see those new yincrows though!

I found those jacks but it's my left ear that doesn't work so then I have to reverse all my cables, plus the reviews are hit and miss. Is there no cable that can mix stereo to mono and then up mix that mono to "stereo"? That's exactly what I want, just from Europe instead.

Even that sounds beyond me, I'm afraid. Thanks.
