So I kept listening to the Edifier H285. I was a little skeptical about trying to get into another $19 USD IEM.


There is a small description about the H290 and the Edifier full size H850 headphone in the first post of this thread. i have not read this whole thread but a search of Head-Fi or even the internet has not returned much info on these.


I will make a review in three weeks, as I like to make sure I know what to review.

Does anyone else have these?


 
I purchased the entire Edifier IEM line and I must say that I'm extremely disappointed. They are some of the worst IEMs for any price, not mentioning the price they go for. I was planing to review all of them the moment I'll have some time off the other projects that I'm working on just to warn people to stay away.

So you purchased both the H285 and H290? Wow, I'm no expert but at this point I actually like the sound. In many many ways the signature seems to emulate the Sennheiser HD 202 almost exactly. Now maybe they could burn-in and get crappy sounding, still most headphones seem to get better with age like wine?

I could see people who like the REO by Hi/FiMan not liking these due to the detail of treble. Still I dig them?
Did you pay only $19 USD for the H285?

At any point I will write a review in a couple weeks. I believe in testing stuff for a while before reaching any opinions.
Cheers!

The only models I decided to give a second chance were: H220, H260 and H280. All the rest were discarded by me in the first 10 minutes of listening. They were just that awful.

Looks like LMUE collaborated with an unknown Chinese mfr and a brand they coined them as "Alpha & Delta" with their introductory model AD01 IEM, a dual dynamic and 2mm dc plug RC one with intro price of $81.xx .....

Yes, well like many of us in this hobby we have fun finding those few sonic deals that seem to be out there, it can be a task of trial and tests. I'm not sure which Edifier IEMs I tried. i just liked the H285s. Still I was looking for some bass-centric IEMs?


The first post of this thread seems to regard the H290s in good light?

Look forward to reading your warning/review.

^ Not sure about 215 but EPH100 is well known for fakes.

Modular Design
AD01 also adopts a modular design. This means that that drivers and the wires can be easily replaceable if damaged or lost. The drivers and wires will be made available in the coming future.

Driver too, looks like very modder friendly :D
 
Need to see pic first tho'

You may have a point. I have gone into my reference tracks and the Edifier IEMs seem to maybe be a one trick pony. They just don't do metal well. They take the life out of it and leave it flat like it's in a room next door. Dance is another story though. They do dance music really well. They go low and detailed with some slight but only slight distortion in a couple small places. The low end detail is amazing though. Hopefully more reviews will come in. I'm still really happy for $19.
