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

Just got the D4 this afternoon, popped them in some time ago and they sound awesome! They are very comfy as often is the case for barrel-style iems. Soundwise they remind me somewhat of the Einsear T2. Brighter though, less punchy lows but very clear mids as a result. That in itself is refreshing for the really budget stuff.

At first I thought bass was lacking but after some listening I stand corrected. I've done some minimal tip-rolling and so far like using KZ starlines with them. I do push them further back than the actual rim(?) for the tips, almost connecting the tips to the barrel. In my case this results in good isolation, subsequently nice bass.

I will not try to describe them further as others have done so (better than I could). However, the detail and clarity is pretty insane for 8$ iems if you ask me. To be honest, I don't understand how these can do anything but impress.

Sorry. Just ignore what I said.

How’s this: They look very ugly and have a face only a mother could love. Definitely not made of metal. Nothing to see here; move along.

Haha
Can you post a pic of the specs from the box in a spoiler? I’m looking forward to receiving mine, but don’t mind contemplating the specs! :)

Looks like all the stuff I ordered on 11.11 is now in the country and hopefully I'll receive it by Friday or Saturday. I look forward to hearing the lucky bag from niceHCK and the D4. I also got a bigger lucky bad from the banned seller that may contain some pricier IEMs if I'm lucky. That's the package I'm most looking forward to opening. O yeah and I got another 8 core cable wow I just now am realizing how much I got but I didn't even spend $50 on it all. :)

Oh yeah, that’s right! Thanks. I haven’t received mine yet since It usually takes awhile to get to California. Did you order a lot of goodies on 11.11? I ordered this lucky bag, another lucky bag from ********sy, some cables and a Whizzer AH??? (Forgot the letters). I shared my Ali shopping secret with my wife this year. She ordered a bunch of clothes. Now she asks me everyday where her packages are. She’s worse than me! Haaha, but it’s all fun. :)

$20 only on taobao :dt880smile:

No link, sorry
Wonder how they sound though? The XB90EX are bass kings. I have messed around with various bass head type iems but nothing in a poor mans price range come close. The Sonys sell for $250-$300 now. Almost all serious Basshead iems are in the $200-$500 range.

I need a chifi solution, or @Slater o stop what hes doing and make me one :p

I second the BQ3 I just did a review of them on my blog. The link to it is in my signature if you want to read it.

What about this one for $83?

If that doesn't strike you as a good option, PM me and we can talk about a price for my very gently used pair, if you would like.

Added both. BF the BQ3 will be like $45, and the Semkarch will be $67. Really interested in the semkarch as it seems to be a bass monster, with rolled off treble. Also Carbon nanotubes. My JVC SZ2000 headphones have Carbon Nano tube drivers in them, and can take 30DB of bass boost and over 1 watt of power and still not even break a sweat.

Thanks guys!
