HI2050 and Pro80 became rare, this is why they're more expensive, finding HI2050 for 40$ is a real bargain (ordered mine in November 2011 for 52$), now it's mostly around 80$.

I'm not sure M30x can compare in comfort, build and sound quality, but any source can drive it easily.

I found my Hi2050 for $37 a few months ago barely used on Amazon. Stellar headphones!

you can find HyperX Cloud, a well known rebrand product of pro 80.

I heard that the HyperX Cloud was not actually a rebrand and that it was made by another company. I've read that it doesn't sound nearly as good as the Takstar.

Anyone heard these?

DD + 3BA for $150 and looks like a wooden SE846...

ISK is the younger brother company of Takstar. So, if the Pro 80's are just too expensive for you to afford? Or, hard to get? You can purchase the complete package ISK MDH9000 with better SQ, which best the Pro 80's even the M50's! .....Personally, I'll take these anytime over both!
 
Take a look (overseas).

That's funny about the Pro 80. I just got the Cloud II for my XBOX One a couple weeks ago, paired it with my Astro Mixamp and the sound is amazing. Doing so much better in Rainbow Six Siege now lol. Just listened to them via my portable, not too bad, a bit bright (vocal wise) but they don't have much burn in, maybe 50-75 gaming hours
 
Pretty ridiculous we can't direct link to AE now
 
I have an iBasso D14 for my dedicated but going through all my IEMs again with the X1 (plus E12) and everything sounds much better than my old iPod. Much cleaner sound. Even these DIY IE800 2015 I got from Easy for $13 sound better than I remember (I can actually hear the V-Shaped sound sig now that I've had more experience with earphones)

My 2016 Easy UEs are finally here! OOTB they sound pretty good. I manage to spot the sniper highs but could probably use with a bit more sparkle. Soundstage is slightly smaller compared to my Titan 5. I would say that the sound signature is non-fatiguing. Pretty good for the price I've paid. I am considering replacing the cables that comes with it, really hate the metal wire that causes memory.

Yeah the wire does hold memory and can be annoying at times. I think the UE cables are like $40. I wonder if they will change the sig. Let us know when you change the cable

Woot! Here's hoping they're good, haha. Looking forward to your impressions since you'll probably get them well before I do. The one month wait begins!

they look awesome and wonder what the microdynamic driver can do

Also interested in the UEs. Can you please post more impressions on them vs the Titan 5 when you get a chance, thanks!

MusicMaker's products have been getting great feedback for the most part, but I'm expecting it to have a typical microdriver sound; bright signature with great treble extension, a little on the thin side. Likely with boosted bass to relate to the signature of their other earphones. Slightly recessed mids.

I'm keeping my expectations neutral. If it's as good as the JVC FRD60/80 series I'll be content.
