To be honest, IMO ugly! What is that wing stuff logo doing there? JH Audio wannabe?

Looks like they're modeling after Fiio, which is weird because these cost more.

Given that u still have the RT-1, the question that is begging for an answer is; where does RT-1 fits in among these iems?

RT-1 would be below the S2000, equal to or slightly above(for my experience) the CH9T and above the CM5 which trails all because it just isn't tuned well like the others but the graphene driver has some ability. RT-1 has good tuning and drivers but the fullest potential will be with a better cable. Compared to my old Ultimate Ears stock cable it is barely better sounding and I upgraded from that cable on quite a few UE that I had(TF10 twice, 5Pro, 3 studio 3 times). They didn't do like and search for the best cable like ibasso did on the IT01. Not that they should be expected to on a $50 model.

Have you heard the M4 or 747?

Have you heard the M4 or 747?

Nope, M4 seemed always a bit too neutral too try out and the graph always scared me away since I was mostly using a Cowon which could brighten their high peak and not match well since both can roll off some on the low end. I do want to try the M5 universal and GT3. Perhaps after the Holidays I can set up get over to them and take a listen since I live fairly close. M5 says coming soon so they perhaps they will be out shortly after CES time?

I believe the "original' brand name for this is moonlight box H1. In chinese its 月光宝盒 H1. You can find them all over different chinese websites including taobao as well, not on aliex though sadly

No love for the Ostry KC09? Any one got a listen? Any impressions?

 

[Wiljen]

I liked the KC09 when I got a listen but I think the space is extremely crowded right now and it just doesn't leap out as being better than something like the Brainwavz b150s, or the Mee Pinnacle P2s at the same price point.

Looks like the S2000 are on Massdrop for $20 with free shipping to the US, but I'm not sure if they'll be offering shipping outside US or not. Pretty good deal if you don't mind the wait (ESD 1/15/18). They are definitely super light and seemingly disappear in your ear. I don't even notice them when wearing them.

Yeah, they seem to ship internationally. Works out $10 cheaper than from the Advanced website shipped to Norway.....

I listen to the E-MI CI880 right now. I can understand some people may like it. Especially the highs and mids are crystal clear and well balanced. Voices are addicting. I can hear many details.,
But what is the bass? It doesn't fit in line. It is like a thunderclap on tracks with bass content.
Ok I like balanced signatures but even if you tolerate enhanced bass this is on the threshold to bassheads likings.
To those who have listened to the E-MI CI880. How would you rate the bass level and might it tame after some hours burn in?

the e-mi are not neutral/referenced tuned--they're a purposely bright, high-energy consumer piece. i actually like its bass--it's got some oomph but is very quick and doesn't bleed over and i don't hear it approaching basshead level, though you might get different results based on source. i'm not sure more burn in will change them much soncially, but you might get more acclimated with further listening (brain burn)

Listening back to the EMI I find it on the 'bass light' side of things compared to other earphones I've been listening to of late
