So... I promised myself I wasn't going to order any more stuff for a while, but as expected I couldn't keep that promise for long.

Got a pair of Swing IE800 today, they were bought at a store that shall not be mentioned. Anyway, they really surprised me. They give clear and detailed sound that I really was not expecting form the price tag. The signature is a bit V-shaped though with a bit extra in the sub-bass for those that like that. It's usually not the kind of thing I go for, but it actually made me listen to some records that I though were totally not my style. And you know what... I love them now.

It's weird how a different perspective (or in this case sound signature) can make you like things you normally would not.

Yeah, I really like them too, and consider that they are not wanna be conterfeit OEM because of the Swing logo...what player do you use with them?
 
They like the little mid-bass bump of my Ibasso DX80 alot!
 
But right now i'm enjoying my LZ-02A with my newly arrive Xduoo X1

I use my HRT Microstreamer, it's one of my favourite DACs. To be honest though, I’m not entirely sure what I think of the Swing yet as far as “sound signature” goes. I’ll have to do a more in depth listening session, because they definitively have the mids as well. I’m just not sure how the frequency response is yet, but they do sound good so that’s something.

The SOMIC V4 is no joke...
Soooo much better than the VJJB V1S imo.
 
Anybody heard them?

I don't think you would or can regret this...but you can DROWN in earphones accumulation with all these buys!
 
 
 
By the way, I think you say on the Benjie S5 forum that you consider it to sound better than Xduoo X3 and other higher ends DAP.
I read this and was like Dammmmmmn....

Just finish my review of the Tennmak Pro dual drivers.

Can't tell enough good words about this ones...
And they sound quite good with my new little baby: Xduoo X1 (extra mids is welcome!)

Yep, I prefer them to the Ownluxe A1.
Deal with it:cool:


Great review and echoes my thoughts on them. Had them for over a week now and they are getting better and better.

Have you opened up the bass ports with a needle? If you haven't, i recommend doing so as it makes the bass more controlled.

Hey what!?! If the bass can became more controlled it will be HEAVEN!!
I see a hole already up the Tennmak logo, what you say is that it isn't venting there already?
 
Can you be just a little more precise on this mod...because I can became dangerous with a needle!
Thanks cause i'm very excited about this!

Check the tennmak thread @raze94 was the one who suggested it.

There is small amount of glue or something covering the port inside.

You can use a thin needle to push it off. Its a little tricky to get it unattached as it just flapped off for me at first. Be careful not to damage anything by sticking it too far in. I was worried that the bits of glue would cause problems when they fell off but they definitely sound better afterwards.

I Just received my Plextone S50, it sounds more open and mid forward compared to the kz ate and ed10. Also has a better braided cable.


Great choice dude! Was thinking nobody but me would try them....I really like their mid fowards sound signature and use them with better memory foam than the one caming with it. It is really a good duo with warm but clean DAP like the Xduoo X3.
I personally prefer them to Ate and ED10, vocals are extremly delighful with them...try them right now with my Xduoo X1: NOT deceive!!
Give more impressions when you feel like it!

Okay thanks, I try it, take me some time to find a needle small enough and i'm not even certain it work properly...very small hole we talk about here.
Anyway, perhaps I hear I slight more clarity and roundness to the bass and deepness to soundstage but not sure, just know it still sound very good!
 
Making venting hole to some earphones is a commun mod and it look interesting.
I myself mod the xiaomi piston V2 and put off the grill and filter sponge and it give more clarity for sure.
