the cable from the Y split to the bud might be a bit too short to wear around the ear for some people.

A "bit" too short? :) It is way shorter than any others that I have. I doubt it is meant to wear over the ear. I don't think anyone could. On the other hand the new cable with the new KZs is ridiculously long above the split which makes it really prone to tangling.

I really hate putting cables over my ear but I have several really good iems that require me to do so. Once I get it situated it is there to stay for awhile... so no a-b comparisons!

Great idea - will post to that thread once I got mine :) Regarding C700 I got the best seal by angling it downward a little when inserting. So the outside end would be higher. They're very comfortable for me, although the cable from the Y split to the bud might be a bit too short to wear around the ear for some people.

usually if the cable from the splitter is too short, i put the splitter behind the neck, then the split cables goes over the ears, kinda like wearing J cables

Well it's just enough for me to do so :dt880smile: The Y ends up about an inch from my chin

I prefer wearing cables down. When I do wear the over ear type, it needs to have a curve or a wire that I like. I would not be able to tolerate the Y being an inch from my chin. I would feel as if it was getting ready to choke me.

Oh that would be really fun with long hair...and don't even get me started on how I feel about J cables.

The “-“ means, what bothers me.

i have it--afaik no one else here has taken the plunge. beautifully built and packaged. soundwise, u-shaped and a bit bright, with good extension at both ends. these are not analytical/neutral--they are energetic and hyped-up and match well with uptempo genres.

I'm surprised the ie800s are so low. I thought for $15, they were supposed to be heavy hitters. I was planning to buy them to replace my lz z03a. I guess my research continues than. The Uiisii do get alot of praise for the price point as well.

Which IEMs $5~$20 are the most neutral without recessed mids? Preferrably with decent isolation and a microphone
I ordered the GGMM C900 *ahum C700* because it might live up to that promise. Otherwise the TRN V20 is a great deal.

It'll take a while, as they'll have to make it first :beyersmile: I believe you meant C700.

On an unrelated note: graphene 9mm driver, wooden shell, whirlwind style tip http://a.co/4lQMCxM, what more can one asks for :darthsmile: I'll keep it on my list for now.

Modded BlitzWolf ES1. Metal body, graphene dynamic drivers, 3-button mic, and chin slider. They are flat as a pancake neutral. The mods are easy DIY.
