I got the Somic MM185 in today too. Very different from the Dolphin and Drama. This is more of a monitor and is labeled as such, with much less prominent but still extended bass. Another $50 winner that sounds much better than it costs.
 
Very linear. 86db, and definitely needs a lot of power. Eats a good 400mW out of 1000mW to get loud.

Today is awesome headphone day it seems. Just got in a new 2014 "Balanced" version of the KZ-LP (looks very much like the V-Moda LP2). Was a little more expensive at ~$65 because of the $20 shipping fee.
 
I used to have the original V-Moda LP version 1, and those were bass cannons. These are not. I'm not sure if they do sound like the Crossfade LP2, but these actually do seem balanced with a warmth mini boost. It also comes with awesome cables just like the M100 type model. I actually think I might prefer this one, despite not being foldable. Has some warmth, but completely shoots past the price point. The Dolphin and Drama actually have more bass than these.

These 4 headphones are just awesome purchases (Don Scorpio Drama, Dolphin, Somic MM185, KZ-LP). Gonna have to take a long time to really dig into them all.

Interesting. So they got more clarity with having neutral bass than donscorpios? Reminds me comparison of Pro80 vs S680. How would they go against pro80? 
[edit] :p 
Thanks

Just wondering, have you tried the Don Scorpio Bass Color?  I saw them on Penon and was just wondering about them since they're within my budget.

This is just marketing talk. B3 have two dynamic drivers (2x2) without any unusual patents.

  Absolutely nothing beats the old Havi B3 Pro pound for pound though, for me. Eats most, if not all >$199 earphones for lunch.

In my opinion, B3 Pro v1 are losing in sq with Audeo, FAD Adagio III or even Somic MH415 (only modded B3 may be better than Somic). Low dynamic and not really good bass (a bit too small impact and little lack of balance between mid-bass and sub​​-bass) significantly reduces their final evaluation.
Havi are cool for $50, but you can find more interesting iem under $100.

What model is the Audeo?

Are they trying to pull of xiami with the ttpod all over again? naaah, I'm not going there. I've had it with Xiaomi Hongmi already. They can either just do normal preorder stuff or go and screw themselves
