swbf2cheater ranked the Paa-1 pro higher than m2c, i will maybe try it out if i cant find other good earbuds or m2c

 

[sh4d3]

sigh thanks, anyway..

 

[mark2410]

may if the wallet can stretch that far, the Blox TM7?

 

[sh4d3]

..or the paa-1 pro ..but..in the other case..how can I purchase the tm7? I ve emailed them, but no answ.. O.o

 

[oopeteroo]

arent the tm7 out of stock? how much does it cost?

 

[sh4d3]

In fact..they re always out of stock

Just keep a look on the hompage of Blox. They have small batches that sell out fast, but hopefully they'll keep on selling the TM7.
 
How about Yuin PK2? I preferred my PK2 to the M2C and sold the M2C. Then I bought the TM7, and I think that one is better than the PK2. Still the PK2 are really good sounding earbuds...

i wanted the live but 99usd seems a lil 2 much for earbuds.

how does Pk2 compare to paa-1 pro? think im going to pick one of them

 

[Danneq]

Actually, I think that the PK2 is better than the Live. The sound is much smoother on the PK2. Live tends to have harsh highs and an overall thin sound.

I have not heard the Paa1-Pro, but it's supposed to be quite bassy. The PK2 has got good bass, but isn't very bassy. I mean, you can hear the bass rather than feel it...

Few posts up there s a comparison..paa doesn t seem bassy O.o

btw found this seller:

Well, perhaps "bassy" is the wrong word when you are talking about earbuds... But as far as I understand, it has got a warmer sound and stronger low end than many other earbuds.
 
swbf2cheater wrote this about the Paa-1 Pro in his earbud thread:

First and foremost, the Bass is clear and clean, there is a satisfying low end compared to pretty much everything I've reviewed in this topic up to this point.  The MX980 has a noticeably less omnipresent low end.  This means that there is simply a solid low end at all times compared to most other earbuds I've used which simply do not.

 

I think that the MX980 has got quite deep bass for earbuds. I have heard earbuds with more bass (TFTA 1101, NW Studio Pro, Sony MDR-E484 & Sony MDR-E741), but still the MX980 have quite strong bass for an earbud.
 
Well, I haven't heard the Paa-1 Pro, so I cannot compare it to earbuds that I have heard (I prefer to find old Sony & Aiwa earbuds on Ebay...).
 
Here's a good comparison between PK2 and Paa-1 Pro:

...[W]hen comparing the PAA-1 Pro and the PK2, one can't help but notice the almost night-and-day difference when it comes to the overall presentation. While the Hisound gives a concert-hall sense of space, the PK2--like the entire PK and OK series--is like an open field. Having said such, one is not necessarily better than the other, and both have their own particular genres of strength.

So apparently PK2 has got a wider soundstage. It might be that the PK2 has got a more airy sound and the Paa-1 Pro a more "compact" sound. That airy quality is what I call smooth or lush and it gives you the impression of a very big soundstage. Still, I have heard much bigger and more detailed soundstage (Blox TM7, Sony MDR-E252 & Aiwa HP-D9).

so what genre will be best for Paa-1 pro and pk2 ?
