Hi all,
 
some guy in our Indonesian audio forum found this
 
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-diy-handmade-Balanced-Armature-earphone-in-ear-with-ER4P-ER4S-unit-MicroDrivers-se535-Ergonomic/2045036151.html
 
"Free shipping diy handmade Balanced Armature earphone in-ear with ER4P ER4S unit MicroDrivers se535 Ergonomic Housing shell"
 
 
Seller claims it's ER4P / ER4S drivers custom inserted into SE535 shell. Selling @ $135 - $165 each without wire
 
What do you guys think ? Is this legit ?
 
Asking coz we are thinking of making a group buy locally, but still not sure whether it's as good/legit as seller claims. That kind of $ is kinda big for most of us.
 
You opinions/information are greatly appreciated. Cheers

A83 is $300+ :wink:
 
But $135-$165?!?  You get a clear SE535 replacement shell from Lunashops for $29 (http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=2254) and female cable plug pin for $6 (http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=1931), and buy a common Knowles BA driver for $10-$12 (http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/en/rab-series-balanced-armature-drivers/52738).  Solder short wires between driver and connector, glue it inside of the shell and you got yourself a pair headphones.  Probably all together $55 in parts, or maybe even less if you buy it in bulk

Exactly but the listing from Aliexpress is per piece for 135-165$ ( cable not included ) ...that is why me suggested Fidue ..lol

Interesting, the problem maybe is how to set the positions of the drivers.
But for this price... I would wait for the VSD7, Havi B6 or the Dunu DN1k.

Yep, it's not just cut'n'paste, it's the whole science!  But from the picture it looks very minimalistic.  But who knows...

Hi i'm new here! :) I'm trying to find a decent iem (around 50$) for my rockboxed sansa clip+. I'm trying to decide between the Havi B3 pro and the vsonic VSD3S. Not really sure which one is better for a hardcore/metal listener. I probably also need an amplifier with my clip, probably going to get a topping NX1 or a FIIO E6. 
 
I recently found some headphones on taobao but i can't seem to find any information about them (maybe a rebrand?). They are called Sound Knowledge DK80 and are around 50$. They look comfortable though and i'm eager to order them, but for the same price i can get the havi or the vsonic lol.
