Hi folks

My trusty Sony mdr 10R were stolen on a recent trip to Prague. The thief came across my more expensive H3 but left them for me. Kind fellow!

I am now in the market for a closed set of headphones similar to the mdr 10R.

Criteria : in order of importance :-

1. Comfort
2. Seal
3. Sound
4. Build / looks

To be used straight from a phone, laptop, tablet or dap.

Max 100$ or 85 euro

Thanks for your recommendations!

Also, Monk incoming 2016

  Toyota, BMW, Ford.
And what about them?

What about xDuoo X2 your "don't support 128GB memory cards"?
ihifi 800 "support" 128GB cards, but cannot use Team Group 64GB/C10, Transcend 16/10?

The best iems of 2015 for me were of course LZ-A2 and Carrott Titta One.
The Carrott is a $50 beast! Bass heads need not apply, mid heads need not apply, treble heads need not apply.
Hardly anyone need apply except neutral heads. These things are coherent beyond belief. Think Havi B3p1 with a smidgen less
warmth. Could test Dacs and amps with these. Big soundstage, good separation, detail, dynamics, freq extension on both ends. No sibilance.
No weakness but the strength is in the cohesion and flatness. One dynamic driver that does amazing work. Not very fun but oh so gorgeous sound all the same!
I don't need fun when I've got these! Seriously they're tuned to perfection...

My thoughts exactly Skullophile. We may be the only ones with them. THESE are what you want in a recording Studio, Neutral beyond belief. I equate these as the IEM version of the Venerable AKG K701 Headphones.
 
Yeah, they ARE that good and precise. But as you said they are more for critical listening rather than everyday wear.
 
IF YOU ARE A TRUE "AUDIOPHILE" YOU NEED TO HEAR THESE.
 
I really need to know your personal  impressions on that LZ-A2 as well, I'm on the Fence about it.

It's not opinion. It's a fact.
You can browse folders, but X2 can't play music from most of them. Even 64GB sd cards are very problematic.

Use xDuoo X2 microSD Lexar 64GB x300 64/10 over 10 months - no problems
Use xDuoo X2 microSD Team Group 64GB x300 64/10 over 1 month - no problems(yes, ihifi 800 cannot play Team Group card, X2 can do it)

 

[Inszy]

I try to use X2 with two Sandisk (64GB and 128GB), one Kingston 64GB and one A-Data 64GB - problems on all of them. And go read threads about xDuoo X2 (not only on Head-Fi) - problems, problems and once again problems with sd cards over 32GB.
Maybe you are so damn lucky, good for you, but most people are not.

Sounds interesting! This is the same way I can only describe the Tingo FL800. I'm definitely itching to look into the Carot One Titta. Thanks for the find and info!
 
There's also the Carot One Super Titta. You can tune it for Classic, Jazz, and Rock!

Maybe you have a defective player or very old fimware? My first X2(firmware 5.0E), the first revision, purchased in Tennmak, in February 2015, my second X2(firmware 5.0), the third revision, purchased in Tennmak, in November 2015, brother's X2(firmware 5.0), the third revision, purchased in Tennmak, in Novembery 2015 - nice work with one Lexar 64GB x300 and two Team Group 64GB x300.

Super Titta for 49,95? This is a good buy. For this price I've seen on eBay only Titta.
Titta have a neutral sound, its the sound of Super Titta different? I not found any reviews for the Super Titta - only in Japanese.
