Velodyne vpulse and pistons 2
Piston with less than 50 h burn-in. So far it only has less sub bass than the vpulse.
I hope you got a pair of those penon iem with that purchase
I'm not spamming, but just for those who focus on this thread and might miss my mini-review of Brainwavz earphone case I just posted in ATH thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/705687/review-of-audio-technica-ath-im01-ath-im02-ath-im03-ath-im04-ath-im50-ath-im70/825#post_10745693
We talk a lot about headphones, but a lot of these budget IEMs come with no case or useless drawstring pouch. I think a good case to protect your headphones, no matter how much you paid for these, is very important. So, check out that little mini review.
My ttpod t1e have arrived, and yes it sound good even it haven't burned yet, really really good for this price, and its my character, not too far from rha 750 (I will compared it later)
Let's see in the next 50 hours..
I'm wanting to jump on the IEM bandwagon and would appreciate some advice.
The only iem I have is a very old Sennheiser CX 300. I bought this before I cared about how my music sounded.
Since then, I've gotten into mid-fi mroe and have purchased some headphoens and an amp/dac:
- Samson SR850 (almost identical to Superlux 688b)
- Takstar Pro 80
- Audio Technica ATH-AD900x
- Fiio E07k
I listen to a lot of soundtracks (Gladiator, Last Samurai, etc.), classical/instrumental, R&B and pop (especially pop ballads). A little bit of rock, but mostly soft rock. No metal, dance, rap.
I like the airy and analytical sound and open soundstage of AD900x for soundtracks and classical/instrumental, but prefer the Pro 80 for pop ballads, R&B and rock.
I find the CX 300 to be quite bad with bloaty bass and lack of soundstage. So I'm wanting to ditch the CX 300 and get something better.
What can you recommend? Ideally I'd like an 'all-in-one', veering towards 'musicality' rather than 'analytic'. Perhaps something that will be a good complement to the Penon IEM as I will be buying from Penonaudio and will be picking up the 'free gift' $9.99 IEM along with whichever China IEM I choose.
Any advice would be recommended!
I only discovered this thread 2 days ago and have read about the last 50 pages. Am tossing up between the ones being spoken highly of here: Xioami Piston 2.0, T1E (am leaning towards this one), Havi B3 Pro (old version), VSD3S, KC06/KC06A (getting a bit over budget and will have to be significantly better for me to choose to get these).
Budget between $40-60 in preferable.

TBH your best best is probably the Havis especially since you already have an amp available.
TBH your best best is probably the Havis especially since you already have an amp available. For soundtracks these things are freakin unbelievable due to the clarity/separation + soundstage. I haven't got my t1e in yet but I plan on using them as a "fun" iem while I'm doing other stuff and listening to metal probably... Any time I'm listening to anything else I always pick up the Havi over most everything else I have (even my Dunu 2k a lot of the time...)
Seriously, EVERYONE should own the Havis. I (and many oithers here) are totally in love with them
