Good luck with them! Sort of interested but never the biggest fan of the Vsonic housing or that L plug. I like the look of the little CLM10...http://taiwan.tmall.com/item/45050606769.htm?spm=a220o.1000855.0.0.l5SnMq&id=45050606769&abbucket=_AB-M72_B13&acm=03066.1003.1.291486&aldid=xISs0jEe&abtest=_AB-LR72-PR72&scm=1003.1.03066.13_45050606769_291486&pos=5&sku_properties=5919063:6536025



Of course B9 will want them cause they are another microdriver to try:p

Pioneer is not strictly China is it :p
Mmmmm microdriver. Been very very impressed with microdrivers.
Have been discussing with my mate about microdrivers and the reason they are good is they have less standing waves making for a less peaky experience. Nice!

Yeah, there is something about these tiny drivers I really like. They can be exceptionally quick while still putting out wicked detail and great bass. JVC FXH30 is still my favorite example of this (and favorite earphone period).

Just saw your finding on the JVC FXH30's, and they got me interested! Pity i didnt read this while in japan, although i tried out the FXT90's and was really surprised by it!

I forgot to mention earlier that te **** UE (although not on the same level) reminds me quite a bit of the CKR9. It could easily have been it's smaller brother. Not bad for $20
wink.gif




It also reminds me about the Soundmagic E80.

 

That is quite impressive comparison. Do you feel that a cable upgrade is needed for these IEMs? I'm not sure if I have to get them with or without stock cable.


Although I think that they share some characteristic with those IEM's they're not quite up to par (especially with the CKR9). They also have a slightly birghter signature with a thinner upper midrange but yeay, they're really good for $20 :wink:

I've tried my pair with the silver coated cables from my Onkyo IEM's and didn't hear any significant difference but YMMV.

Edit: added picture with the Onkyo cable and the Ostry red tuning tips:



Adele - 25 sound crazy good with the **** UE......

I've never heard any pistons, but they both use beryllium drivers so I assumed they may share similar characteristics. I'm currently using the **** with stock cable and I don't feel that the mids are recessed at all. At my normal listening level the bass is a little emphasized but it is very clear and separate from the mids and treble. Currently listening to them at very low volume and the vocals are still very clear and audible.I'm not a big fan of v-shaped iem's either.

 


I am really intrigued by the **** since I always enjoy forward mids! Do you feel that the soundstage is wide enough or recessed? Are they suitable for Classic/Hard/Alternative Rock? Also I've seen that a seller on Aliexpress has 2 different versions of "stock" cables. I don't know if it's worth to buy them with stock at all or go straight to the upgraded cable. Would a 4 core silver cable do justice? The price is almost the same as the ****.


I think the **** UE is great for rock! Think of wide soundstage and airy sound with very good soundstage. i've mostly used it with silver upgrade cable though. A quick comparison with stock is that the silver cable gives an obviously clearer sound. It also makes the treble more present and emphasized. I used the silver cable on MR3 and it sounded brighter than what I prefer. These are all from memory though so take it with a grain of salt.

in summary:
Stock cable : neutral/darker backdround
Silver cable : bright background. makes the cymbals bigger and more present
Bluetooth cable :) : ok for casual listening. Lower end and higher end are a little rolled-off. But this is the cable that gave me that love at first hear feeling. The vocals are amazing. The placement of the buttons is awkward though since it gives weight to the cable and pushes the cable toward one side since it is not placed in the center.

So in the end it is based on your preference if the cables are worth it.

I just noticed that the cable is currently more expensive than the earphones itself without cable ●﹏●

After a month of waiting I just received Sender DT3. Right out of the box it's so-so. Good for dance, R&B and so on, but metal or classical music? Blah...
Dynamic driver is ok - bass is strong, peak on mid-bas, little bloated mids.
BA... I don't know which BA they are using, but they doing it wrong. Recessed mids, peak on uper-mids and where are highs?!
 
I'll give them burning for 50 hours, but I don't think they be way better.

I bought the tingo silver plated cable for 10$ if that helps. Waiting for it to arrive.
 
On the other hand, the VJJB K4 sounds pretty lovely. Slightly dark but it sounds pretty nice.

Haha! Don't worry Twin. You are all safe.

It's all okay Scrambler, the FXH30 is very close to the top of my list of "Next buys", it won't be long. In fact I just found one for $58 on Fleabay.
