Oxygen Free Copper. Companies normally charge $80+ for the privilege of owning OCC cables, but if you get them straight out of China, you can get them for much less. The KZ, Ostry, Havi, etc use different forms of high core count OFC, and they are all extremely cheap.
 
Shows a lot of how unnecessary markup works in the audio industry.   

Spot-on. I paid exactly $80 for mine of UP-OCC. What a ripper

Has anyone tried out the SondMAGIC Es20's? Been keeping my eye out on them. Penon Audio has them but can't seem to find in-depth review anywhere.

The RE-300! Dr Fang's answer to the Dr Dre Beats generation. Even after 50+ hours of burn in, the bass of the RE-300 is THUDDING, BOOMING, and ever present. Is this bass high quality and articulate? Damn straight it is, but it's also EVER PRESENT like I mentioned earlier. Smooth highs, forward mids, and crazy bass. I think bassheads have something to celebrate thanks to HiFiMan.

Just got the HZSOUND HZ EP001.

I really like it.

Warm-ish signature with forward mids.

The midrange really takes the center stage, and has very good seperation and imaging. I'm hearing elements of midrange I otherwise for the most part haven't heard in other phones. It's a refreshing tuning that is similar the vsd1s but better in terms of clarity, width, transparency and imaging.

It has a considerable amount of rumble that goes down into sub bass territory. There's a nice balance between sub and mid bass, and not much sign of veil presence in lower midrange and male vocals.

Treble is polite and present with zero sign of sibilance. It's not too extended and compliments the forward midrange. It's nicely done.

Thank you for the impressions Hisoundfi. Can you compare it to your IM50 in terms of sound signature? I'm also interested in EP001.

Sound comparison to IM50? Does EP001 have also the great vocal presentation like IM50s?
