While they're currently on sale at AliExpress, I ordered a set of the new (w/MMCX) Magaosi BK50. Hopefully, they sound as good as the model with the tethered cable.
Thank you sir! So it sounds like 1More is no longer "The Best Headphones" per Verge? There needs to be a guide somewhere with rankings and sound profiles lol Is there an IEM that is a direct upgrade to the KZ ZSR without sibilant highs and is $200 or below? I'm ready to get out of KZ and Trn territory. Or are we entering substantially less performance per dollar?
BGVP DMG 2DD+4BA is a Fiio FH5 killer according to the Bad guy bad audio reviewsI'm also looking to an upgrade of my Revonext qt2, anybody got an opinion on one of these : TONEKING 5BA, BGVP DMG 2DD+4BA Toneking T4, NICEHCK DT500 or tzf King (Pro)?
Techmanz said they were sibilant and I tend to trust him over Bad Guy on sound frequencies. Bad Guy regularly recommends sibilant earbuds over non sibilant ones. The music he prefers tend to be uncongested and instrumental.BGVP DMG 2DD+4BA is a Fiio FH5 killer according to the Bad guy bad audio reviews
The point of diminishing returns is highly subjective. Depends on money, priorities, and sound preferences, among a dozen other things. So, I don't know where that point is for you. Personally, I think the best bang for your buck is right around $200. The B400, P1, King Pro, are around right around that price and they are fantastic. On the other hand, they don't give me the weak-kneed, slack-jawed sense of awe that my 846s do. Is that worth the extra money? Hell, even I don't know.
What I will say is: if you want to break out of the KZ/TRN level, then look into TFZ and Toneking. Both companies have an impeccable lineup. Some are better and some are worse, but in each case they make IEMs that are very competitive at the price and maintain a remarkable level of consistency. You could pick a TFZ or Toneking based solely on price and very likely end up thrilled.
Thanks so much man! Doesn't hurt that they look gorgeous too. They even look better than top of the line Sennheiser and Sony in ears that go for $300-700. I wonder if they compare tho.
Just got the Estron C610 which is quite a fun little thing. Bass is a bit loose but it's pretty snappy and electric guitars have nice crunch.

Not sure what it was, but I just wasn’t a fan of the C610. Granted, I only gave it 10 minutes of head time OOTB though. But that was long enough for me to feel uninspired, as it was very meh. Especially when I had the C630 and C631, which were far better to me.
And your comparison to the MEMT X5 is interesting, because I have always been unimpressed by the X5 as well. Just something about it. I know other love it.
