BEST Sub-100$ BUDGET EARPHONES - Chi-fi, Obscure brands and impressions sharing-REFERENCE LIST

i have AET07 and tried with Spring 1 too, mids become much more clear with more details (on already very very details IEM) too bad i seems sometimes couldn't get perfect seal, so i need more time to deal to have perfect seal. Wish they come with LL size since L size a little bit small to my ears.

and about KB100 yes, they are very incredible, and Spring 1 is an upgrade to KB100. My review will come out in few days bout this. Writing up a full review about this special Spring of the year.

 

I definitely don't doubt that.

I think if it wasn't ready for prime time, just keep working on development until you have everything dialed in.

Dunu worked on the driver (alone) for their new flagship for THREE YEARS before releasing it. They could have just released a half-baked alpha version after 1 year, but instead they held off and spent more time refining and tweaking, and then refining it some more. THEN they released it when it was ready.

I understand that not every company can do that for financial or other reasons, but I feel it is definitely something to strive for.

 

This looks quite useful. Does anyone know if it may degrade the sound quality in any way?
And the cable connector may stick out a bit with it, so must be careful not to accidentally knock it and cause the 2 pin to snap off inside.

 

The jury isn't out on the last sentence yet. However, I do remember hearing myself say, "This is a bit boring." while listening to my new BQ3 but I've never said any bad comments while listening to the KB100. Hmm. Interesting.

 

Recieved the Blon BL-03 today, the sad part is can't listen to them, sick and at hospital, hoping to get discharged soon.

 

That is horrible. Feel better soon.

 

Get well soon!

 

Everyone should try the Audiosense Copper cable with the Semkarch CNT1. It's the best sounding combo I have found so far.

 

I'm also using the Audiosense cables with the Semkarch, and it's good stuff. The Semkarch stock cables were quite bad IMHO. Super stiff and microphonic. But I think most aftermarket cables should beat the Semkarch stock cables for sure.

 

I'm using the Tin T2 cable on the CNT1, works great

 

just got bit by the Blur bug today nothing super fancy
But I hope to find out what the buzz is all about
I like supporting independent home grown brands like his
VE,Willsound and Revamp Acoustics were all great personal discoveries.

It feels a level up from the typical KZ churn cycle family of mass market options
And a way better feeling than going with the promoted labels or the mass market Beats stuff

No one to blame except myself and threads like this

 

I hear the T2 breaks often when you take the cable out of the MMCX so I am not going to bother trying.

 

I'm also using copper on my CNT-1.

And I like the stock cable that came with the CNT-1. I found it light and durable. It loosened up rather quickly and microphonics were fine for me while working. I just think its just plain silly to not use balanced out if you got it, so I only ditched the stock cable for a balanced one.

Good thing I like the stock LZ cables cuz A6 mini is getting delivered tomorrow. LOL. Provided the thing doesn't suck I will use the stock cable for awhile as I actually like to use stock cables for awhile while acclimating to new IEMS. Then I will move on to balanced.

In my defense though I will say that I grew up with everything having those rubber cables that were on everything and actually still are on most big name brands. I have no problems with those either. HAHA. I guess Im just simple minded or something.

 

I've had that Y brand one (banned) on the Tin T2 for a while and it's basically permanently attached, it won't come off so I don't plan on swapping it. lol

 

half of my earbuds are Willsound's. can't be beat for the price, and i have tried some "TOTL" priced earbuds. the Willsounds are TOTL level sounding earbuds at a really reasonable price. it makes me noy bothered anymore with new earbuds
