Just got my Dolphins two days ago.
They are really comfy and sounds very good! but not enough bass for EDM. Other genres sounds amazing.
 
I'm selling it for 60$ including shipping

  Hello. 
I listen Mozart symphony and opera(90%) and Apocalyptica/Other symphonic+genres bands. At home I have Matrix CUBE DAC + HD-595 and I'm hapy with this level of sound. 
 
Now I'm searching for Iriver E50 player a budget(<60$) in-ear headphones. I saw Havi B3 Pro 1 is regarded best at this price, but I don't want any additional amp to add.

Please recommend some models! (I listen music(E50) 100% in public transport, not outside in winter,etc: so to not disturb anyone and vice versa).
 
---
priorities: 1)best for classical music 2)MAX Isolation 3)durability 4)no need amp

Thank you.
 

 
I don't listen to classical music, but I imagine that the Zero Audio Tenore would do good job with it.
 
They are by far my favorite phones in terms of form and portability, since I prefer wearing my phones straight down instead of over ear. Isolation is pretty good too due to the possibility of deep insertion.

I have the Tenore, and they are too dark and lack top end extension to be good with classical music. Decay is very short. Tenore good for vocals and Rock.

Remember, it is a lottery ticket when people are dealing with regarding the tenores.
 
I did not expect the tenores to have such an inconsistent performance.

The Tenore are dark? They don't sound very dark to me. What do you mean by that, elaboration pls ;P

Finally got the KZ-ES. I had a quick listen and I've been listening to the VSD3S for the past 3 days so coming from that the KZ sounds quite bloated in the mid bass, mids sound veiled and recessed. Highs are too rolled off for my liking and there's hardly any sub bass. The build quality is once again top notch like the KZ-ED that I gave away. I think I paid about $10 so no big deal. Sounds about $10

That's probably the last phone I buy off this thread for a while. Gotta save up for a Master 7

Is that the dual driver one?

Yes sir, the Tenore are considered a dark sounding phone. Even joker referred to them as such, and correctly. They are the opposite of bright, since they have VERY LAID BACK treble. The Tenore are a smooth dark sound signature, with relative mid centricity. A fine IEM, but like all ZA phones, leaning on the dark side. The Ostry on the other hand is bright.

Hmm, I've never thought of the Tenores as dark either......

I would pick JVC FXT90 for classical music. IMO, VSD3S is not so good in classical because of its recessed and a bit veiled midrange.

I agree here. The FXT90 is an absolute monster for classical music, and when given the proper 100 plus hours of burn in, the timbre, decay, and speed are simply unmatched at the current selling price.

p.s. Don't try using it for much more, as the recessed mids make it a poor option for rock, metal, pop, or modern music, and this includes EDM ect. Still, for classical music, a beautifully technical IEM.

Listen to your Ostry or B3 or even the VSonic, and then listen to your Tenore, and then come back and tell me they aren't dark...

 

[peter123]

Thats what I'm doing isn't it

I guess we just here then different.

So HiFiMan are resending me the RE-300. Two weeks since my order, and due to their address blunder, still gonna be waiting.
