If you get this one on sale...the Pioneer CH3...not sure whether it is the best, but it is pretty good. And then there is, of course, the fabulous the ****...(earpieces are a bit heavy).
Difference: timbre is better in the Pioneer, technicalities go to the **** (needs a bit of fiddling with the eartips).
Everybody should be made aware that last year about the same time that BGVP released their DMG model there was an IEM released under the name "Zodic Audio ET2202". It was a 2BA+2D hybrid (approx $100) that looks identical to the TinAudio P1.
NOT THE SAME IEM although it looks identical.
This is the Zodic Audio ET2202:
Just be aware.
The "Zodic Audio ET2202" is a 2+2, not a planar like the P1.
I have the feeling that the Chifi war is being won by the Germans: I have yet to hear a below-$200 chifi product that only remotely challenges the new $99 Sennheiser IE 40 PRO in terms of timbre, homogeneity, and smoothness...and also build, fit, and comfort. I am presently struggling in understanding the pricing of the 6-times as expensive sibling, the IE 500 PRO.
When questioning the price differences between the models, I received the following reply from Sennheiser Germany: "...The market around the IE 40 Pro were already really overcrowded, so that we have decided to enter that price point with a much, much better sound as typical products offer at this price point..."
While the IE 40 PRO hits my sweet spot, the ever growing tsunami of Chifi models is going price wise against infinite, which gets me more and more disillusioned. And the dramatic Chifi sale discounts show the generous markups/profit margins on these.
Hi guys, I've noticed I've not checked the forum much of late, just scroll through the mails from my subscribed threads now and then. This has to do with me liking the CCA C10 so much I think, I love its signature. Next IEM I'll buy would have to be a more refined C10 I feel, maybe wirh slightly more sub-bass.
Right now I'm in transit and listening to 'Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer', wonderfully mastered and a great song with a lot of detail to retrieve.
