Okay. I'll bite since you're being a tease. What album?

 
If you don't mind listening to metal in Russian... Tell me what you think of it if you decide to take a chance on this band. My favorite tracks are 3 and 5.

  bought it from shenzhenaudio.com will try to email them later 

 
Mine are from shenzhen too. It was first ever purchase I made from them.

The Russian isn't a problem. I don't bother listening to 90%+ of the lyrics in metal anyway; most of them are trash.

I'll definitely give it a shot and pass it along to my brother. He's fluent and even married to a Russian. If I get curious about the lyrics, I'll just ask him.

There has been an explosion of top quality <$100 iems lately. So much so, that I sold my Dunu DN-2000 because I feel the under $100's provide a much better value and nearly the same quality of sound.

many thanks bhazard, do you recommend those quoted in particular?

KZ-ED Special Edition.

If I'm reading it right, it's using a prototype of the IE800 7mm driver, for $10.
 
Graph looks impressive.

Yep.
 
Get one of those and get the Topping NX1, and you'll have a portable hi fi system that rivals many high priced ones for under $100.

K..roger that. But I said in comparison with price and battery life of 100hrs to fiio's and not its driving force. My E11 easily handles my senn hd600 and philips hpc890 with enough juice...and I wouldnt hate them any given day,though I use my E12 mostly, being more neutral ....

Oh btw, ClieOS said he guessed to be of smsl internals(not confirmed),by looking at the pictures. And I might say, its ok,even if topping used the same electronics BUT with better modifications etc......on NX1 than smsl.

Anyway Im like you that I will not simply buy my gears blind folded and waste our hard earned money....especially the gadgets that are being bought over e-commerce.

I still bet your E11 is a comparable amp (or better) to the NX1 in SQ. But I get what you mean

Still. Best deal on SQ, battery life, and headphone power output is my used C&C BH for $60 in the for sale forum here. (shameless self-plug)

 

[altrunox]

Fiio is releasing E10k, for those who don`t need a portable amp should be great... and I almost bought the NX1 

As soon as it become avaliable on MP4 nation I should buy it...let`s see how B3 will sound with them

If they have diamond cut shell similar to these cheap Bidenuo's, stay away, it's painful!!!!
 

 
though these KZ-ED do have a spacer ring between the body and nozzle, so it might be ok.

Me want kz ed special edition ... Might get it

I got the cogoo t02 in today. It's pretty sweet. Very nice ergonomic housing design, very nice quality plug and cable. I had to use a different tip from my extras. The thing is a cinch cable away from being just about prefect ergonomics. I cinched them with a shirt clip. Sound is pretty balanced with a slight v signature. It extends well on both ends. The sound competes with things in the 30-75 dollar range. Only drawback is a somewhat narrow sound stage. These are a fantastic deal for the $7 usd I paid including shipping. These will be a great pair of beaters for exercise.

I got the Phillips she3590 in today. It's ridiculous how good this thing sounds. Awesome bass and clear mids with spot on (not to hot) treble. Tips are soft silicone and it's pretty easy to get a seal. Soundstage is pretty big. Only drawback so far is that the single dynamic get grainy and smear the sound when there's a lot of sounds coming through at the same time.

But seriously, it's ridiculously good sounding, and competes in sq with things up to the $100+ range. Still, the build quality is on par with most $10-$25 sets of iems, with a somewhat flimsy cable, no cable cinch, and a straight plug.
