Alright well I'm taking more suggestions for the best iem under $50. Currently looking at the ttpod t1-e, Holy Serpent V9, and Tunnmak Ie800
So my Chinese DIY in some garage quad BA driver IEMs are here. Initial impressions are positive, wide sound stage rivaling my fostex cans in the mids and highs, its weird but the bass feels like it is on a different soundstage which is smaller, mid forward, highly responsive, musical, bass is tip dependent, and over all very detailed. I made a quick unboxing video for anyone interested.
WOW that's insane. Even I can't pass on one at that price ($44 shipped in US).
Then again, big price drops on FiiO items tend to be frequent after the initial new release craze dies down. This just seems to soon for the E11K.
How is the bass boost on the e12? Any better than the one on e11k? Is the e12 a step up from the nx1?
Well I modded my IM-02 and don't really listen to it stock. A little better for the stock IM-02 from a quick comparison between the IM-02 and DUNU where the IM-02 is mid-forward vs. the slight recession of the Titan-1 and the DUNU may actually have some more height to the stage from top to bottom. Titan-1 holds it's own nicely and is not far behind. Both are high value phones.
Modded it stomps the Titan-1. Really need to stay away from the IM-02 for a while to appreciate the DUNU again. I appreciate the DUNU for it's quality but don't enjoy it as much as some others are able to. A strange recipe for the IM-02 but it worked out to be probably #1 all on my list. Hard to get too excited about the Titan-1 sometimes but nothing against it
DUNU almost nailed it. Just needed to include a couple of longer tip options like bi- or tri-flanges since they can't fit that deeply for those who may need it.

What exactly have you modded on your im02? I just ordered mine some days ago and i'm curious.
Thats awesome to hear. I was able to hear the CK10 last night and it was sublime. the IM02 is its successor right?
