Soundmagic e80 from Micca Store. They are in the US

Great. They are receiving quite a lot praise. Seems like this is the deal I'd be opting if I were in his shoes. Well I'll definitely recommend this.
Thanks.

  Guys, friends of mine in US asked me about earphone recommendation and his budget is about $50~$60. He isn't comfortable with AliExpress or other sites shipping overseas. He said Amazon US would be the best option for him.
 
Any quick recommendations pls?


 
Lend Me Ur Ears has an amazon store with Vsonic VSD3, GR02 Bass, Ostry KC06, Havi B3 1 & II in that price range, and get lots of recommends on here. Other amazon importers have ATH-IM50 also in that price range I have read some good reviews of, and the Zero Audio Carbo tenore/bassos are rated as well, at around 30-40 dollars. In that price range I personally have used Fidue a31s which is pretty solid for 30-ish, and the JVC FXT-90, which is also very good., and can still be found for 60-70 from time to time, though it's out of production so the price has gone up lately. Sony XB90 is about 70 and getting strong recommendations from the IEM Bass Club thread lately, and has pretty good reviews on amazon too.
 
The main thing with import items on Amazon, if your friend is concerned with overseas shipping, is to see that they are Fulfilled by Amazon, or to check the vendor listing to see where it ships out from.

Found an interesting review about Edifier H293P by chance http://www.soomal.com/doc/10100005468.htm
 
Seems that it's an improvement over Vivo XE800i, which people have suspected to be made by Vsonic. They can be found for $30 on aliexpress, anyone has tried these?

They look nice, the H293. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://www.edifier.com/int/en/earphones/h293p&prev=search
Maybe a few more reliable impressions are needed but might be a good choice at $30.
 
Also, nice looking Edifier home theater speakers...

You're right, somehow with Edifier being the parent company of Stax, part of my mind always give them benefit of the doubt lol.
 

 
On another note, the TDA1387*8 dac amp that I've ordered a month ago has finally arrived, and boy I didn't expect to get this blown away. Aside from few pops and crackles issue, I really like how fatigue-free it sounds.

Total damage? around $80, still cheaper than Hifime 9018D lol (though not as transportable). I'm probably still in new toy syndrome though.

Edifier is always good but good enough to beat the likes of XE800 or VSD3 might take some more convincing

. The amp looks nice!
