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

I got yet another batch of in-ear headphones and earphones today. This time I got the good stuff.

Firs off the cheapest one of the bunch, the VE Monk:
They sound... Quite good actually, they have a clarity to the sound that I did not expect at all. Still there is the inherent lack of lower frequencies bass that most earbuds struggle with. honestly it's a real shame that these are not in-ear headphones, because I truly believe that the drivers are fantastic. They just struggle with getting a seal on the ear like most earbuds do (I can hear a significant difference in sound if I forcefully push them in my ear, but that is truly uncomfortable to say the least), it may just be my ears having an abnormal shape though (doubt it as almost every IEM I try fit with the medium tip straight away). So while the drivers sound really good they are lacking in the basic design aspects. Also I really, really hate earbuds so that might influence my view on these.

 
You should try the TY HI-Z.....the sub-bass is epic!
 
   OK, I'm gonna get one of the Fengyins then... :D
 
Thanks for the info... if only their cable wasn't pink... :S

 
They're actually rose gold cables to match the rose gold housing. But, depending the seller you buy them from, they also come in black! .....I have both rose gold and black cable BK50's.

Long time no see Headfiers! Just came back from a roadtrip in Gaspésie and have some time to listen to my new earphones there!
 
My 4 new babies are the Ownluxe, FengYin, Sendy M2 and Somic V2:
 



 
My favorite of the bunch is the Ownluxe because of his wider soundstage and better bass performance.
Somic V2 are very impressive and nobody talk about them here, imo they beat the VJJB V1S but are quite similar in soundsignature.
FengYin are not bad but I find the soundstage very small, the Sendy are a little harsh sounding but the level of details we get is incredible for the price and the bass is quite big too...
 
Most listen more and will make comparaisons latter.
 
To be honnest, I prefer the Tennmak Pro to the Ownluxe that cost twice the price....that's something!
 
Will read what's going on here and try to put more new good earphones in the list.
 
Cheers!

I can't do a comparison as I've only got the Piano which I'm selling - it's new.
 
When I listened to the Piano I thought they were really good but the cable configuration annoyed me, they didn't have as much bass as the Banjos but were reasonably balanced overall. The sound isn't fatiguing with these, I had them in my ears pretty much all day on one occasion, but there's plenty of clarity. I believe there's a new cable now with all MMCX Tennmaks
 
The **** are a step up in quality I feel, but without being able to do a back to back comparison hard to say what the differences between the two are. The DT2 are currently my primary earphone out of choice from a long list - I like the deep bass and imaging with these.


Hi there, I barely buy the DT2 and just forget about them...how the mids are with these? And what about microdetails?
They use the IE800 housing with other ear nozzle so i'm hooked...but how is the cable, did it make microphonic noise as with the Ownluxe?
 
Will put them in the list anyway.
 
Cheers!

  Rainmaker91 - remove foam pieces from nozzles on Your EDR2 
wink.gif
 It will make them better. But If You are EDM fan, then EDR2 is not Your cup of tea because it has littlebit congested soundstage in middle-front and quite warmish sound signature with somewhat intimate vocals presentation. 
I don`t know why Your got Yourself DZAT DF-10 ? Are You following audiobudget advice? Stay away from that webpage unless You are ready to take all those "leaderboard" impressions with huge grain of salt! 
You want great cheap IEM for EDM? Get Yourself Yinjw wooden "IE800" and use Huawei Honour tips (or some other wide-bore silicone tips that seal perfectly): http://bit.ly/2aq7cRK


Hey there, can you give more impressions about this mysterious and beautifull inexpensive IEM called Yinjw wooden IE800?
because of the small price I pass on them in HCK store thinking it can't sound as good as it look...
 
Bass? Mids? High? Soundstage? Easy to drive?
 
Thanks in advance cause I want to put them in the list with a little description!

I don't think it is the IE800 housing as its too large and the cables detach. The mids are fine not recessed or forward, and they do the sparkley bits well.

I use them with a cable from another earphone that has memory wire so no microphonics whatsoever.
