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

My one concern with the DM6 is that is has a bit of a laid back treble. It’s fine if you listen to straight rock (I mean who wants to hear the drummer ride a cymbal through the whole song). But....if you listen to bands with jangly guitars, where those high instruments drive the songs (ie: Big Star, Bangles, the Police (Stewart Copeland’s hi-hat stuff), early Tom Petty)) those instruments can sound not up in the mix enough to drive the songs like I’m used to (or how they should, subjective). Just something to think about. Otherwise, great.
Edit: And it really has a lot to do with which DAP you’re using too.

It’s just so ugly and uncomfortable looking.

Do you happen to have any other Estron/EMI/Timmkoo/JoyPlus models to compare? Like the C600, C610, C630, etc?
The look was mainly the reason I didn't try it sooner :D But it fits very well, and seems solidly built. My C630 died a while back, so can't directly compare, but ES670 got more bass and slightly less treble. I like this better than C630, both fit and sound signature.

Since they sound the same as the c630 I’m gonna pass.

I do like the tuning of the c630, and having a better cable is worth it. The c630 are $20, so $7 is a great deal.

However, once I heard the c631 I fell in love! I wish they were still available at the blowout price from a few months ago.

Iagree 100% with that last paragraph. Only wish I had bought 2 more pairs at the Amazon Blowout price.

Isn't it somewhat odd that the original Chi-Fi pioneer is barely mentioned on the Chi-Fi threads.

SoundMAGIC was my very first Chi-Fi in-ear monitor and they were great five years ago but detachable cables have become the norm for Chi-Fi in 2018 and the dizzying number of excellent sounding and well-built IEMs at the $40 price point simply can't be ignored.

Still, a well-tuned single dynamic is always worth mentioning and word on the street is that the single dynamic E11 is the E10 with a shave and a shower (cleaned up quite nicely). Eventually, someone will give us a report (.......errrrr, not me. Too much fun collecting other Chi-Fi).

Wanted to share the FR graph for it, then I noticed the disclaimer below, lol. Why bother putting it in then

while some chi-fi just slap any FR and call it that (maybe its the FR they measured somehow but got distorted, who knows), they've been quite good on showing actual FR recently (the Tenhz and Audbos models comes to mind)

Very cool, Eggnog! Two finds in one night (ZS3E & 1M1).

Keep this up and you'll quickly become the designated go-to guy for what is up and coming.


When I was seven or eight years old one of my favorite places to go was called "The Sweet Shop". When I walked in the door I was greeted with a wall of what seemed like two hundred different types of candy and I wanted to try everything.

Now&Later





Lemonheads





Alexander the Grape



BlowPops



Good&Plenty




JawBreakers




JujyFruits



and those little red gummy fish (Swedish Fish)

These Chi-Fi threads give me that same old familiar feeling.

We've got KZ, BQEYZ (I've resigned myself to calling them BK's), TRN and so many others. Feel like a kid in a candy store all over again.

Love it!

Would you say a BVGP DMG is, being amore expensive ChiFi earphone, worth the upgrade over say a KS ZS6? Aka, really better quality, better possibilities with an equalizer or whatever obvious pro .. or is it just a tastething and somewhat overpriced comapred to the huge amount of chinese earphones in the 30-40$ range?
