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

I agree; waiting half a year to save ~$10 is silly for something you want to get right now, IMO.


@x666x ,You can get the T2 right now for $34 if you use the aliexpress app
The only problem I have is with the mic which I require. If you could suggest a deal on a decent mic cable I'll go ahead and try to break budgets(like every other IEM addict does, it is their breakthrough of sorts)
EDIT: or do I shorten the problem and buy the QT2 Revonext

That IEM is banned on HF. Some shady stuff happened in the past with the retailer. Check @Slater signature for more info.

And what do you think about the Cleer Aria? It's not expensive and looks almost like the Pioneer CH9T. I don't know anything about the sound, but the only review is quite positive: https://www.getit01.com/p20180521821868500/

It's exactly the CH5T model:

Buy these and save yourself $30

Called E-MI CI880

Check Audiobudget https://audiobudget.com/product/TIMMKOO/C630

I've already commented on their sound but wow... £10. It's been a while since I've had them but they remind me of the HiFiMan re-400 signature but with more sub bass... when paired with a neutral AMP. I've got the TFZ Exclusive 5 sitting next to me unopened still. Although had some good advice recently about not listening to new gear after spending the day with something else.

EDIT : I'm not saying they are on the level of the re-400, just that they share a similar signature... both having lots similar levels of detail

I love my CI880, too. It sounds crystal clear, no piercing and thick, punchy bass, small and lightweight and very comfortable to wear.

No experience of the swings but if you go for the e-mi's i'd recommend the iaxsee sd-08 version of them on Amazon UK as they have a stronger jack connection. My e-mi's only lasted about 3 weeks before the jack started playing up, i've had a pair of the sd-08's for 6 months now with no problems.

SD-08 looks the same as the C880/C630 but doesn't have a balanced armature. It sounds great though.

I have the SD-08. My husband has the C630. They don't sound the same. I don't have my box. What driver does the Sd-08 have?
