Here is another one I'm curious about, from another Chinese phone manufacture, Vivo XE800: http://www.vivo.com.cn/vivo/xe800/
 
Any experience with it?  It looks beautiful, adjustable nozzle, wire up/down location, but having a problem with web translator now to figure out other details.

I always listen to evanescence "fallen" as the first album for a new iem because it will reveal deficiency pretty quickly.

I see none. The bass might be too much for people who are looking for "perfectly flat" sound but that's not what sony was going for with these. I can't wait to listen to movies on them. They are so hifi!

Which one has more bass, DM2 or H3?

Which one has more bass, DM2 or H3?

That's a tough question because the seal on the dm2 has a lot to do with bass impact and sound quality on a whole.

When I use a wide bore tip that seals well on the dm2, the sound is boomy and makes the mids muddy and the treble too splashy. In this case the bass impact is about equal, but the quality right out of the box of the h3 is superior quality wise.

The dm2 is one of my favorite phones in the $65 range because I did a lot of experimenting with tips and found the perfect one for them. I use the ear guides and go over the ear with a little extra slack on them. I use a narrow bore tip that fits snug and doesn't seal completely (as closed to sealed with out actually sealing). Using that set up the dm2 is so lovely and the bass is still prominent. The mids are nice and treble actually becomes a strength rather than a weakness. When I wear them this way the bass impact on the h3 is more prominent, and still better sq.

We're talking about a driver that minus the hybrids (ex1000) and used for the whole spectrum sells for over $500!

PS-I only use the red filter on my dm2. Unless you're a bass head the black filter is way to bass, and the silver filter is garbage (no bass at all).

The dm2 is great. The h3 is in a whole other league though. It's like comparing a really good bookshelf 2.1 speaker system to a top of the line tower speaker and sub woofer setup.

Any feedback on this XE800?  Anybody heard it or heard of it?

I know what it essentially is...http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://www.231122.com/e/DoPrint/index.php%3Fclassid%3D10%26id%3D12615&prev=/search%3Fq%3DVivo%2BXE80%2Bmade%2Bby%2BVsonic0%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DW07%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-USfficial
...a Vsonic apparently

Looks like the vsd series but is supposedly same drivers as the gr07 ... And same performance level as well with 50ohm impedance

 

[twister6]

So it's rebranded and updated, I guess?  Looks sexy!

On Taobao for as low as $65 on a quick look. Plus a mic if you need one for phone use. Might be a better buy than the new VSD's or Classics for some people, lol! They look a lot nicer than the GR07 or VSD1 does.

Cost $99.... Whose buying

Yeah, right! A couple of weeks then back on the hunt

It is all about the chase and the thrill of new things!
 
 
 
Hmmm, that Vivo is in my Mistertao cart at $56 shipped, lol. That 110 sens. up from the usual 105 and rating down to 5Hz instead of 7 may just mean a little more easy to drive and a little more bass amount and not quite as tight. Something in between the BE and the MKII sound if that is possible but with a better shape and looks than either and a nice price. Oddly interesting but any better than the Tenore??

Wow, who are these guys? Did you see their phone? It has an ES9018 in it!!!!
