Hi all!    Grado's Canadian retailer wants 85$ cdn + shipping for the repair. Are there better alternatives out there for that price range?   I have a soldering iron coming in to reterminate 2 pairs of Yuin pk3, a Blox and a pair of Portapros; will that give me enough experience to...

I'm considering buying headphones that cost a decent sum of money for the first time now. I was looking at HD 558s because they seem to get recommended a lot here and the open style's conferring a large sound stage seems like something I would like, especially when gaming or listening to...

I saw a new posting on the PK2s go up and was looking at them online to see if I could find a better deal and found this store selling the below items:   DIY Mod Yuin PK3 DIY Project PRO Quality Professional Hifi Earphone DIY Mod Yuin PK2 Project PRO Quality Professional hifi Earphone  ...

Would love to use these headphones with my Ipod Touch 5G but I do not want to use an amp.Does the 5G have enough power to drive these phones without an amp?How about the Ipod video 5.5 ?Im interested in the Ebay mod of the Yuin PK3 which  replace the cords with a stronger cord that seems to be...

I've been searching for a pair of earbud-style cans for the past few weeks after I got my Zune 8. I've owned a pair of Ety ER6i's for about 2 years and love them to death, but I'm missing some of the warmth and "fun" that I get out of my Grados. So a trek down to Jaben and Uncle Wilson and...

Hi guys, first time posting on head-fi.org I do not know much about audio, but my friend recommended my Yuin Pk3s and I absolutely love the sound of them. Now I want to find an in ear earphone that sounds similar/better to the yuin pk3s for under maybe $60? Btw I live in Canada. Thank you

Hey I'm kind of new to this whole headphone thing. I currently have skull candy aviators which i think are pretty great (despite all the sc hating) but im looking for a cheaper pair of running headphones that are still audiophile quality. I was wondering if the pk3 is still a good earbud for the...

I recently discovered this board while looking for earbuds.... and while I was at this forum also found out about rockbox. So after getting an ipod as a gift, I used the reviews here etc to get an upgraded set of earphones... Well decided on the yuin pk3... and i actually just got them in the...

Hi guys I cycle a lot but can't stand Ear buds and am not keen on IEMs as they never feel comfy ond just end up annoying me as they fall out or hurt... The best and last set of iems I had were JVC XX bass things and were red and black... But have them away and they fit okay but still not...

I have a set of Yuin PK3s and have grown to love their warm, natural sound.    I have been trying to find a pair of affordable IEMs that will roughly match their sound. Open, natural, warm, a bit of bass (but not gobs of it)   For some reason the ECCI PR200s caught my eye on Jokers...

I own a pair of yuin PK3's and just purchased some grado SR80's. I'm looking to get a nice little portable amp for them. My budget is $100 max. I will be using it with my macbook and also an iphone 4 or ipod classic when on the go. When I say I will take this amp out with me, I dont mean running...

Has anyone bought a pair of Pk3's lately? I just received mine today and am a little suspicious of the plug and cable. They look quite different from the ones I saw here. For instance there's "Yuin" stamped in the plastic of the plug and the part where it connects to the cable looks different...

Hey guys.  I tried doing a search but couldn't find all the info I'm looking for. .. I'm really leaning   towards a pair of PK3s after hearing about their sound quality but have heard about their inferior   cable problems.  I would love to attach them to my newer iphone cable with...

Is there a bang for the buck equivalent to the Yuin Pk3 in the category of IEM's?

sorry, found the diy forum...

hi everybody, 2 days ago my sennheiser mx471 broke down, i was planning on getting a new earphone, within my budget came those 2: yuin pk3 soundmagic e10   i might as well be able to get the yuin pk2 if it's better than the soundmagic (i know one is in ear and isolating the other isn't...

I have been a happy user of the Yunin PK3 for the last 5 years, on my second pair. I like the clear high end as I have a hearing loss but I have trouble keeping them in my ears.I am looking for an EIM that has some of the same qualities. Does anyone have any suggestions.   Thanks

Greetings All!   I am looking for earbuds - if that is right name for them - you know the sort that came with last generation ipods. I hit up the usual retail spots - they seem to not even carry this segment - everything they have are in-ear - with little tips that that go in - this doesn't...

Someone posted a link to these in the PK3 appreciate thread but no one's replied, so I'll ask here. There are these PK3's that are apparently legit, except the seller has added a shielded cable. Considering I'm new to this whole audiophile world, I'm completely confused.   From what I've...

I am looking for a nice set of earbuds, not IEMs since I need to be aware of outside sounds. A pair that doesn't leak too much sound would be preferable    I've been looking at the Yuin PK3s as I know they were very popular years ago but I haven't been around on audiophile websites in years...

Hello everybody,   I'm looking for a pair of in ear headphones for around $20 or less (Amazon price, not retail) I had a pair of Pioneer CL24 and I loved them a lot, but they are getting old so I thought it might be a good time to find some replacements. I'm looking for a pair of IEM...

Any Australians here can give some advice on buying earphones here? I don't want to walk into the typical electronics shop and get ripped off on some crap earphones, as what usually happens when people do that...   The cables on my yuin pk2 just got sliced in half by....SOMETHING...(i have...

I recently bought a pair of PK3's from a store, and have been really, really impressed with them. However, I did find the earbuds to be a little to mid heavy. Should I move on to the 580's or will the difference be not worth the cost? (I live in Thailand, and thus I buy from a specialty store...
