Sweet..Ill order the 4in1 and pianos to try. Just wished Shiping Was faster.

 
Looking to order soon and found a seller that offers these earbuds in different cables. Any difference in sound or quality between black, blue, or silver cable?

The ZuperDAC people ship out fast from HK for about $5 shipping and their support was excellent when I received a faulty one - replacement shipped fast with no questions asked. I wouldn't worry about ordering from them by email from their website; they send you a code to put into their web page and it is all very straightforward.

Yeah, mine got lost in transit, and they promptly sent a new one when neither HK post or the postal service in my country couldn't find it anywhere after two months. No problem, and the second arrived pretty quickly.

Kind of off topic, but I have to laugh at the sheer amount of bass difference tip swapping can create with my Rose Pudding.  I wanted to try out a bi-flange tip I had with a larger aperture than I was using, assuming bass might increase.  Not paying that much attention, I swapped the tips and tried it out, going back and forth a couple times, and the tips I had previously been using, a smaller sized bi-flange had noticeably and without doubt more bass than the larger aperture bi-flange.  So actually paying attention as I swapped tips back and forth just to see what other differences there might be, I noticed that the larger tip slides all the way down the nozzle, leaving the mesh nearly at the end of the tip, where the smaller tip (which this particular tip is easily my favorite tip I've ever tried) only allows the nozzle to go halfway or so through the tip, leaving more space.  I might have to look into spacers before I try the larger tip again.
 
And now for something completely different:  Does anyone have any thoughts on the KZ GR as it's only $6 with free shipping, and allows for tuner swapping like the ED9?  http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/KZ-GR-Metal-Retro-Copper-Gold-Headphones-Stereo-Noise-Isolating-HiFi-Bass-In-Ear-Earphones/1358152_32612691117.html?spm=a2g01.8041047.101.1.xD1d5Z&sdom=101.282758.225819.0_32612691117

IMO, the GR is pretty meh. Bought it only for the nozzles, basically. Both ED9 and GR nozzles work with Sendiy M2 as well.

  @anticute Yep, my main interest in it was mainly the nozzles.  Do they have a similar sound to the ED9's nozzles, or would it give more tuning options?


From memory, they are slightly different. However, I haven't tried in a long time, so take that with a grain of salt.

Which two should i buy? both sellers good?

 
Aug 29, 2016 at 11:04 AM Post #33,506 of 35,472
Thanks,
I'm looking for something around $100 or less to be used with the low budget, high value iems listed in this thread.


Hmm, so if you are looking sub $100 I'd also consider the Topping NX2 or 3

Musky, I have always had good luck with Easy, I know there was all kinds of controversy some time back but Easy has always done me right and come through on everything I've wanted. Just my $.02

Well the top seller is the banned seller though I still go through him. Both will also offer a discount if you message them, then order but don't don't pay, just close the browser until they change the price. Then go back and pay

Lurk is 100% correct and even if your like trigger happy me and pay full price Easy has made up for it with a nice treat in your ePacket

Even though I know how he works a Head-Fi discount in I've popped that trigger more than once and he has done me more than right. When I jumped on my D2's he said you did not wait and I said to much caffeine this morning and he threw the KKTings in to make the difference

This has been said n times, but could we please stop discussing what we're not allowed to discuss? I'd hate to have this thread closed.
