Thank you very much! Such opinion from topicstarter is really extremely helpful!
I want to ask only one question. Please, can you describe the frequencies? In comparison with xkdun ck-700 for explain...

Search the thread. There are multiple links to frequency charts and impressions throughout.

Anyone else having trouble with Ugomark lately?

I've opened two disputes with them through PayPal this week. I would not recomend anyone using them anymore. Customer service is truly non existing.

  Check the OP for some good $20-30 recommendations. The Xiaomi Piston 2.0 is my favorite $20 headphone as of now, and the Somic MH415 is my favorite $30 one.

Does this mean you'd put MH415 between the M200 and Piston in your sig?

I ordered on 1/22 and received on 2/12 (USA)

How do they sound?

  How do they sound?

I only listened for a few seconds before I put on burn in, so not sure yet.
 
The fake pistons had no bass and were hollow sounding.
 
Here are side to side pictures of real on the left and fakes on the right (inshoes):
 
Barcodes were different

 
Font is clearer for the real ones.  Fake ones have darker font.

 
The order of the tips is different.  The pins that hold the tips are thicker on the real ones.

 
The real ones have clearer wording.

 
Real ones came with thicker stock tip.

 
Real ones have bigger opening for the stock tip.

 
Real ones have mesh closer to the edge.  Fakes have mesh recessed.

Yes, I opened a dispute with them through PayPal a couple of weeks ago for the Havi's that I never received. Fortunately, I was able to get a refund. Customer service is terrible. Never got a reply to any of the messages that I left them.

When it becomes profitable to forge $20 IEM's, it doesn't bode well for items with larger margins - All the Shure IEM plastic replacement parts that are floating around, I would hesitate buying from anyone other than an authorized dealer - almost as bad as Sennheiser....

Got the ax35 today and first impression is a bit boomy bass other wise excellent, build seems very solid. Let's hope the bass calms down with some burn in.

I don't like the stock tips, anyone got suggestion for alternatives?

Gents: What's the difference between AX30 & AX35 besides $13 difference? Different »» Tuning/internal damping? As i see the accessories,10mm dynamic+single BA, housing are same.

 

[peter123]

If I'm not mistaken the ax30 should be tuned to have more bass. From what I've heard of the ax35 so far it has enough for my semi-basshead needs

 

[SibeiKnowHow]

TBH i don't see why people are claiming the AX30 to be bassy. I've owned numerous BA and IEMs that i can confirm lack bass presence/boominess in comparison to my dynamics, the DBA-02, Ety HF5, XBA-10, etc.
 
I own half of the IEMs being hyped here and i can certainly tell you the AX30 is not at all bassy in comparison to them. Coming from a BA experience is can see how the bass seems boomier, but i definitely wouldn't call it bassy.
 
In fact as a single BA single Dynamic Hybrid, compared to the XBA-H1 (which costs twice as much) the AX30 pales in terms of bass quantity. IDK anything about the 35 so far but i will be sure to grab a pair when i return to china to compare given the stellar reviews i'm seeing so far.
 
Proof i'm not talking out of my ass:

Sony Hybrids. They work very well.
 
I don't find them boomy at all, but I'm a basshead.

Can someone recommend a nice set of over the ears? I do like bass, but want controlled bass, and like lots of treble too! Would appreciate it. Thanks

 

[bhazard]

Some of the best cost effective over ears I've tried all come from Sonic and Takstar.

Somic has a new Studio headphone for ~$50 called the MM185 which should be awesome. Mine is on the way.

The Takstar Pro 80 (Gemini HSR-1000 in the US) is another headphone with the bass and treble you like at $54 that sounds like a $200 headphone.
