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

Right now on (MASS) DROP the ALPHA&DELTA D6 are 40% off. This is SUPREME no brainer for people that like bright mid centric sound that is wonderfully tuned and do not forget about bass and details.

Still one of my favorite iem under 100$. At 60$ it would sure rank as the best one IMO

As i have a 3 year warranty im not sure it worth to buy another pair, but its tempting anyhow.

Just took the opportunity to join the drop. This is the type of IEM I've been looking for, and I think a great value at this price. I also ordered the **** ****, but I will have to wait about two more weeks for that to arrive. I figured it was time to add a few inexpensive alternatives to my RHA MA750's, just to see what's out there for a small investment.

if they can keep the price reasonable these may be the first expensive IEM I buy. damn they look nice. seems stupid to include a non balanced 3.5 cable and then include adapters to balanced.

Ah! So I was right a few posts ago (well, almost!) (18055). Planar magnetic. That's very nice!

WOW!! That presentation! That cable w/leather case! Them adapters! Comes with wide bores, small bores and foams. Design looks very elegant and most importantly comfortable.

Okay. Since Im a big dumb dummyface, can someone tell me if planar is drop resistant, sweat resistant ect? Would planar be good in an outdoor summer work environment? Don't know anything about planar.

Yeah, that’s not a real balanced cable (assuming the 3.5mm cable is TRS and not TRRS). You can’t have a shared ground coming from a SE cable, and then in an adapter split the grounds out. The purpose of balanced is that the L and R grounds always stay separate. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Excellent way to explain it simply. I think I have tried in the past to say the same thing, but I wrote a paragraph... lol.

So a friend of mine was looking for a budget earphone and asked me for suggestions. Instead of just telling him i gave him these sets to take away and listen to.

TRN V30, EMI CI880, Renovext QT5, BQEYZ BQ3, CCA C10, KZ ZSN, UIISI CM5 and the TUNAI Drum. He had them for two weeks. He didn't know prices, just names on bit of paper in the bags.

So what did he come back saying sounded best... EMI CI880 lol, kid you not!

I still have mine on the desk waiting for a recable or maybe MMCX re-terminate since the stock cable is quite flimsy and both shell came apart. Still quite fond of them.

I was planning on converting my CI880 to mmcx at some point as well. The fixed cable is its biggest weakness. Other than that it’s a good IEM. Estron makes great stuff.

Could any of you IEM experts recommend me something for music production? I have a set of HD 598's that I love but I'm looking for something with way more isolation for when things get noisy around the house.

Looking for a neutral sound with very good bass extension. I have aftermarket foam tips I'll be using them with.
