aren't these like "beats" clones flimsy and plastic no thank you but thanks for the suggestion

yeah they are plastic as the designers preferred that aesthetics being portable and targeted for commuters but sounds better than the other you quoted(refer tyll's review)......or senn momentums?

Senn Momentum On-ears are a no-no. They sound very "consumer" and very unlike the original over-ear version.

hmm, thats not good....may be HD429s a better option then if hes ok with non-foldable and non RC,but prefers sound more than those and top prority.....its full of plastics and bq is good as well for on the go.....it shines with amp tho.

I didn't like the HD429's. Bass is too light. Highs too wonky.

I´m using a forwarding. www.shipito.com


I shipped using Shipito,  a company that deliver things.


I shopped at Amazon $7,99, sent to my address in the USA $6,00  and Shipito sent to Brazil $5,00.


PM me.

I believe that you will have to pay an extra $12 for shipping. That $5 wasn't for shipping, it was just for their service.

Thank you . You know what, for years I have been an enthusiast, and I have to say to be able to gleam in to the realm of realistic music tonality with a pair of headphones cheaper than 20$ has never been possible before. Very good review, and the S-018 really is a little gem.

Yeah...but the bass is deep if not boom/oomph (gud for long listen) .........and when amped, nice extn on both lows and highs,mids are smooth and so the imaging and detail, fwiw. But sounds very shy with my sources direct.....and btw,not much of a clamping force, good for long listen too.....but yeah he can research more for what hes lookin for under $170......

LOL...   I tried to search on the website but couldn't find any background info. I guess Astell & Kern are just Western names that sound grand to enable iRiver to sell their expensive players without being scoffed at.

I remember back in the day iriver was very respectable where I live. The sales guys were like "you can get the popular ipod, or the superior iriver" lol.

Yepp, my first serious dap was Iriver T10 which was only 256 Mb in 2006. It was like a hi-fi stereo system for me and my friends.

I think a lot of us are using the Comply T-500 tips for the S-018.  They work perfect for me.

Good to know. I neglected to mention, last night I tried cheap Chinese foam tips - 

 
Yup that's my TTPOD-T1E. For the S-018 I cut of the very end so the tip wouldn't close up. This works reasonably well but still need to do some extensive listening.

Yes, I also cut my Comply T-500 tips to fit the S-018 better.  Though I trimmed the rear of it to fit better.
