They are epic guys. I own over a hundred in-ears and I rank them third behind the Fidue A83 and Fidue A73. They are a truly addictive sound you guys. Very easy to listen to for hours.

wow, awesome review again hisoundfi. Can't believe Titan's jumped down another spot in your list so quickly... (yea i read the A73 review too.. hehe) i was considering buying titans, but being a satisfied customer of sound magic, i guess ill give up on titans for these

How is the isolation on these? It says it's excellent on the box, but I'd love to hear what you think.. :)

Nice review. I find the bass of the Titan more to my preference but everything else goes to the E80. I also found out with the right source, E80 sounds insanely good.

@eaglearrow the Titan is still an awesome earphone, I've just been really lucky and run into some great gear recently in the A73 and now the E80. The Trinity stuff is coming, and I'm really curious to see how this stuff compares after reading Brooko's reviews

Excellent review Vince!  Now, E80 and A73 are definitely on my radar! :wink:

@Hisoundfi Thanks for the review. How do these compare to the PL50? I will use them mainly without a dedicated amp, with smartphone and a laptop, should I look at something else?

Thanx for the interesting review, I am very excited as my Havi B3 Pro 1 have broken lately and I'm in search of 'that kind' of the sound. Could you give me a small comparison of E80 and Havi please?
I also had SM E30 before Havis and I liked them :)

I decided to order one of the puppies to see if it measured up to the high praise it has received. Looking forward to its arrival.

@becritical I never heard the PL50 unfortunately. I hope to one day get my hands on a pair. 
 
@fractalawarenes The E80 is just as natural and organic sounding, but carries more sub bass, more timbre in the mids, and less upper mids. It's more dynamic with better soundstage and imaging to me. It is more lush and slightly warmer to my ears than the awesome Havi. If you are a fan of more linear sound these aren't it. If you want a Havi with a little more color and sub bass, this is the answer.

@Hisoundfi thanks for the feedback. I see you also reviewed the M9 classic. How do these two compare? Does the M9 include foam tips? And which of the two sounds better without an amp? Which one is more comfortable? Sorry lots of questions but I am pretty much down to the E80, M9, xiaomi pistons 3.

I personally prefer these over the other two mentioned @becritical but also remember the price difference as well. Also, preference plays a part and all three you mentioned are pretty good and punch above their asking price. Hope this helps.

awesome review.. so in term of price to performance ratio what would be the next upgrade to E80?

@fairx that's a tough question to answer, and it comes down to preference. 
 
For me it would be something like the A73. There's something about that earphone that keeps me coming back for more. Still the E80 is fantastic. Some have said and will continue to say they like the E80 more. Some will also prefer the Titan, although I feel the E80 has the edge.

Between these and the GR07. which one is better overall (clarity, separation, soundstage,), im looking for a cheap replacement to the GR07´s, tried the VSD3s but it´s built quality is horrible, the construction in these (e80) seems a lot better, and if the sound is close to the GR07´s, im sold, thanks in advance!
