CHIFI LOVE Thread-A never ending IEM-Heaphones-DAP-Dongles Sound Value Quest

the ed16 definitely has a bigger stage and more space between instruments than the e-mi; highs are thicker-textured (though not necessarily superior) on the ed16. i would defintiely remove the cloth screens on the e-mi nozzle, which get gunked up and veil the sound--just crimp the edge with a needle and peel 'em off.

Thank you for your insight. I think I'm going to give the ED16 a try and see how they perform.

Hello everyone,

I'm the proud owner of a pair of E-MI CI 880(aka Timmkoo c660). I like them a lot, everything from the sound signature,soundstage,detail retrieval and instrument separation. treble it's also really good for my taste (all of them very important to me. Not a basshead)

I'm wondering whether anything new has come out from the depths of chi fi that tops the E-MI in overall sound quality.

I've already tried the likes of Tin Audio t2 (felt a bit congested on most of my music) and the kz zs6 ( awesome soundstage and detail, but the treble was a bit too harsh and fatiguing)

Has anyone got any other iem that could be consider as an upgrade to the E-MI?

Appreciate your suggestions.

E-MI CI880 is the same as Estron/Timmkoo C630. The upgrade version is C631 (E-MI CI980). 2BA+DD. You can find it here as JoyPlus JP1: https://www.amazon.com/balanced-armature-microphone-headphones-compatible/dp/B073F866FK
ES660 (C660) has the same drivers as C630, but looks different. E-MI doesn't sell it.

Can you guys recommend your Top 3 or so IEM with MMCX connection? Music: Hip-Hop, R&B, RAP, mainly modern stuff.

Might help get better suggestions if you listed a budget.

If you only want to spend $40, and people recommend $250 gear, etc

Sorry I forgot about that, I'm looking for something under $50. It'll be use for workouts and phone calls, MMCX connector is a must because it'll be use w/ a bluetooth cable

Thank You.

Nice HCK Bro would fit the bill for your genres.

Others will have some good suggestions too.

I've got the earlier version of this $45 WK50, called BK-50 (with a tethered cable), and I really like how it sounds.
Since the nozzles are angled, it's a bit tricky on the tethered version, to get the earphones inserted comfortably when wearing the cable over-the-ear.
With this MMCX version, you can just swap the earpieces, to fit best when the cable is down, or over-the-ear.
