Thanx bro. Nope, KS3 is similar to the very story you live right now, it got a crazy good cable but decent sound, not phenomenal one. Under 100$, i'll go BLON BL-03, BQEYZ KB100, BQEYZ Spring1 (ebay=90$), MoondropStarfield

I did see that Drop has the A&D KS3 for $89...hmmm Is the a worthy upgrade?
Cheers
