DM no longer exists. The company went bankrupt and was squired by Lefrig audio. They will be releasing more IEMs in the future but there are none available at present.

Wow...I'm not aware that Dynamic Motion has shut down. Strange that their website and online shop is still up. That's a real shame because I was anxiously waiting for the release of their new DM300H dual BA + single dynamic which they have been working on for some time. I really love the sound of the DM200H and I thought they'd be the IEM company to take notice. The DM200H was indeed a masterpiece from Dynamic Motion.

Are the k3 pros the best ~$100 iem in your opinion?

Pioneer CH9T...

I heard the original K3, crisp treble that got hot at times, it was good but passed it to @slowpickr who also now has the LZA4, which I've owned and sold to another member. I now have the Pioneer CH9T and sent it to Slow who has been auditioning it for the past week. He says it beats the A4 in his opinion, which I agree with on memory. A4 already beat the K3, for me of course lol. Ive had plenty of IEMs in the $80-200 range and nothing compares to the Pioneer, it's a simply great IEM. I guess it doesn't get a lot of love bc it's Japanese and a name brand. I gotta thank @jant71 for tipping me off on it.

For comparison, I have the AKG N40 which has maybe a slightly smaller width of stage compared to the Pioneer but has a bit more vivid treble thanks to the BA but the single dynamic of the Pioneer is no slouch and is butter smooth without being dark. The N40 needs a really good source to sound it's best, the Pioneer on the other hand sounds great out of my cheap Fiio 3 but didn't notice much scaling with my Opus#1 (still need to do more listening though). This could be bad or good depending on how you look at it. The Pioneers are my gym phones and I get immersed in the music, it's a great experience. Been using my Simgot EN700 Bass for the past week and while they are good, I can't wait to get my Pioneers back

that's the old story.

After they about to disappear, the dudes from DM made a brand called Refrig Audio and revived the brand name "Dynamic motion".
So Dynamic Motion company is gone, but "Dynamic Motion" brand still lives under the company Refrig Audio.

Best cable-down IEM under $30? I really like the sound from my Tennmak Pro's, but they don't fit the best. So I'm looking for similar sound signature (warmish but not too bassy, decent stage) but in a cable-down form factor.

LZ-Z03A for ~$12 on gearbest. It's quite good.

Has anyone ordered the Musicmaker Nine Tails? Filters and Mmcx

Those look like a good option, thanks. I forgot to mention, it's not necessary but do any of these style have MMCX? It'd be a nice bonus to use my Tennmak bluetooth adapter.

Cool stuff! How do they sound and what do you have to compare them to?

 

[HungryPanda]

Very punchy out of the box, burnt them in overnight. Very good frequency response, quite neutral in sound signature but tight. Go low and the highs are clear and not sibilant, lovely mids, male or female voices sound great. I have listened to Marillion, Zappa, Leonard Cohen, Natalie Merchant, Deadmaus so far today. They are much nicer than pictures show.

Man, I've been waiting for a long time for someone to get these and review!

Looking forward to your impressions...

How do they compare to the HD650/700 and HE400i?

 

[HungryPanda]

sound different from them all, they actually remind me of some of my more expensive iems but better. Probably closest to 400i with more punch and so very easy to drive. A steal at £160 with the discount code

Zircons are crap IMO, hollow + artificial, can't believe they're still being recommend regardless of bass levels - HM7, Moreblue DM8, Boarseman KR49i are all superior there's probably a lot of others if I put my mind to it.

I like my Rock Zircons. I haven't heard the earphones you mention. Maybe they are better. But I like my Rock Zircons. Just did a comparison with my KZ ED9s and I prefer the Zircons. That being said, I'm really looking forward to receiving my KZ Zs5's, which are in transit.

The Parts Express is hard to get nowadays, but there's a number of similar ones for the same dirt cheap price that work the same. I've seen them on ebay, Amazon, Aliexpress, and in dollar stores.
