My MH755 came today. I wasn't really expecting it to arrive this early (2 weeks) or will it really arrive at all. It was my first purchase off eBay for $2.X something and about $4.X something in total including shipping. I just saw that the seller updated his listing and it now became $8. I think this product is genuine. I inquired from the seller if they are and told them that I will file a refund if the product is fake, and I was told that they only sell genuine Sony products.

Sound OOTB wasn't that impressive but thinking about how little I paid for this, I think it's actually good. There's good amount of subbass rumble, though midbass was quite soft than what I prefer. Mids and treble sounded somewhat dark and lacking.

I decided to do what I did with my LG QuadBeat 3, a mod that was recommended by a friend. So, I removed the sponge/foam filters inside the nozzles by lifting the mesh cover half-way only. As I listened again, the vocals came about noticeably more forward and treble sparkle is certainly better than stock. This deserves a recable job, I think.

(sorry if the pictures are too big)

Does your tag have the ghost numbers of you hold the tag at an angle?

Beyerdynamic Byron: Designed and engineered in Germany. Manufactured in China...imagine it was the other way round. Single graphene-coated DD. $51 CAD...I think they are gone now. Presently "breaking in" while warming up [we are in Canada]...for at least 30 mins.

For anyone interested, I finally updated my KZ guide and added the following models: ZS10, ZSN, ZSA, ZS4, ES4, ED15, ED16, AS06, AS10, and BA10. This brings us to 41 in total.

*Updates were made in Parts 2-5.*

Part 1 - Old, discontinued models
Part 2 - ED series + ES4
Part 3 - ATx, HDx, and Zx series
Part 4 - Armature only models
Part 5 - Top five lists

This great series made "B9 Scrambler" -- a read a coincidentally had recommended to someone today. I wished I could share your liking of the wonderfully designed and built ZSA and the ZS10 but the midrange is so far back for me in each case that I kept on turning the volume up and upper...and although I never loved it 100%, I am glad to own the original ZS5...and wished I had more of the very early models. Well done!

Auglamour F300 arrived along with another bud (SL 1.0).

OOTB listening impressions is that it's really quite clear, smooth sound throughout the range, with punchy bass.

I'll have to do a direct compare with the C10 when I get home, but right now... it seems promising to me, and I think I might like it better than the C10. I'm certain it sounds much smoother to me than the C10, as for the rest, I'd rather not make a comparison based on memory.

For tips, I had to go one size up though, as the medium tips that were initially attached just couldn't give me any kind of seal at all. Since it's quite small (probably smaller than the C10) and nozzle is not too long, it feels comfy.

Time to just enjoy the music. :)

Nice. These may be my next purchase. Mind taking a pic of them side by side with the C10? The ZSN barely fit the concha of my ear so I've been holding off on the C10. IF these sound that good and are smaller they may get added to the list.

Sure, I'll take a picture side by side with the C10 later on. Haha, I might be able to take a picture beside the KZ ZSN in a few hours, as my officemate has one. I might post it in the $100 chifi thread instead though, as I think this thread is dominated by higher priced iems. :)

As good as the initial impressions I have of these ones are, unless you have some disposable income, I would suggest getting the C10 instead first as that one is the safer choice over this one which has almost 0 impressions. :)

I hope this graph is true... but note that vertical scaling is off to create "better image"
Exactly! I adjusted the scale approximating that of the Beyerdynamic Byron...horror FR with the Rocky Mountains monster screamer in the upper midrange. That graph must be made up.
