How does the Moondrop Crescent compare to the ****?
Moondrop is pretty neutral and very decent for the money. Does nothing wrong.

For me, **** is pure heaven. Just does what I want an iem to do - when my ears, music and mood are all aligned. It’s warm, but clear. Very rounded, not sharp...so more analogue sounding. Quite liquidy and lush and plenty detailed for me. Perhaps not the most professional sound and many would say it’s far from Totl. But I don’t give a monkeys. So far, it’s one of my most enjoyable signatures...and I’ve been through some pretty expensive IEMs. But make sure you get the right fitting tips.

Nice and accurate review. V80 is a very enjoyable iem. Great value and shows up many in the over $100 price range

Yea, the V80s are real technical monsters in my opinion.
Even if they have a very piercing lower treble they're seriously enjoyable and offer a great package between realism, technics and fun.
Sure there are better choices but i found a better technical choice in the ZS7 which costs 50% more.

Guys, I just ran into the JVC HA-FXT90 on eBay for only $22. Should I buy it? According to this thread it seems that even if they are "fake", the sound is virtually identical to the original FXT90. Think imma buy it and see how it goes :grimacing:

Ships from Shenzhen, China. Yeah, assume it’s fake.

My guess is it’s being made in the same factory as the i-into i8. Probably uses the same drivers too.

Which if that is the case, is not a bad thing as a lot of people praise the i8 as a decent budget IEM.

i8 is a decent in-ear if youre into bassier signatures, they have surprisingly good sub-bass. Mids and treble are little "mmmeh" but good enough for less instrument oriented music.

i wasn't a fan of the original fxt90, which sounded kinda boomy and incoherent to me--it's one of those once-revered pieces which doesn't hold up to today's much cheaper chifi faves. that said, alot of these knockoffs are crazy good--it might be a good gamble for $22

I already have the i8, it's an okay IEM. BTW ain't buying it anymore cause it's out of stock :frowning2:

I'm thinking about buying a better JVC IEM though, the one that I hear @B9Scrambler is a huge fan of.
