Good advice. I've read conflicting things about aliexpress here on Head-Fi...mostly along the lines of "they're trustworthy, but you'll be on Social Security by the time the package arrives."
I've heard some not-so-good things about GearBest, so I never bought from them, despite temptation to do so when I was shopping for my Swan M200 MKIII powered speakers (ended up buying them direct from the mfr). Then again, I also heard bad things about MusiciansFriend (where I just bought the Marantz MPH-2's ~1 month ago), and besides taking 10 days for the package to arrive (excessive for a stateside website), the transaction was perfect.
IMO an invaluable research tool for evaluating websites you're not familiar with is www.ResellerRatings.com. Just go there and put in the name or web address of the website in question, and up pops a summary/numerical rating for that site, based on user/buyer reviews collected from every source out there (ie, Amazon, Google, NewEgg--anyplace that collects lots of user reviews). Check it out.
Anyone else have any thoughts/reviews on the Bosshifi b8's?
I'm trying to decide between these and the ISK MDH9000's. Both seem pretty solid, but I want the headphone with better audio quality, while keeping value in mind (but I care more about sound between these two than value, as the ISK's are half the price of the Bosshifi's)
Hello again, since my very first post on this platform didnt got noticed I just repost it. It also adds some infos to that LyxPro confusion.
Hey there, i've been following this thread and similiar ones to this for quite a while and I am intrigued by these relatively inexpensive mid to high quality china-headphones.
In particular the iSK MDH9000. I'm very new to the headphones-topic and still figuring out the basics but i like to spend some money to buy a new pair of headphones.
Being a user of a HyperX Cloud, which seems to be a rebranded Takstar Pro80 or iSK HP 2011, i'd like to know if the iSK MDH9000 could be considered as an 'upgrade' to the headphones i have.
Furthermore i'm wondering if the LyxPro HAS-30 are really the exact same headphones as the iSK MDH 9000. On the outside they appear to be identical, expect for the branding of course. But on the inside im not sure that they use the same drivers.
iSK MDH9000: Frequency Response Range: 10-30000Hz whereas the Lyxpro has a frequency response of : 15Hz - 26KHz
Can someone clarify that?
My research on the isks, also coming from hyper x clouds have confirmed they have a deeper extension of bass, more balanced, less bright and larger sound stage. Once i receive them soon i will be posting a comparison (if you wish to wait that is lol). Personally i bought them for a changed sound signature which i thought would suit me better since i dislike the peircing and slightly artificial sounding treble at times, aswell as recessed mids on the pro 80s. That said im not expecting better sound quality at this price point since im sure both are reasonably in the same class but just that the aformentioned personal cons that the pro 80s have are rectified.
I was looking for some active noise cancelling headphones, then on amazon there are some that look like these:
they go under different labels. like eonfine, sharkk and zoweetek. Luckily I got to test them in a shop (different label) before buying one for 67$.
The noise cancelling is a joke. I tested in a shop with music, some background noise and a tv on lowest volume 10 meters away.
ok, they dampened the background noise a little so that I now could listen better to sales peoples conversations,also i could listen to dialog on the tv 10 meters away. These should be called voice enhancers.
For comparison I tested 3 versions of bose from cheapest to latest with bluetooth and here everything went away and it was just the music.
Funny reading those "honest" reviews for free headphones on amazon after testing it.
I'd say for noise canceling you are much better off going with mainstream brands like Bose, Audio Technica, etc. I have the ATH-ANC9s and am happy with them. Good sound, good comfort, good noise canceling performance and can be found for reasonable prices. All the reviews state Bose is best for ANC; not so much for sound quality.
Can't help but chip in ... last post god knows when.
I ordered the same(?) one re branded with IdeaUSA S204 AtomicX over at AE for less than 50bucks ... read some reviews over the net and it's not too bad for the $$.
Seller claimed that it's Noise Isolation Earphone ... not noise cancelling. Block some noise BUT still can hear some noise .. background noise, I assumed.
I'm looking for one like it to use on the go.
Still waiting for it though ...

Here's one I read from an phone forum ... most reviews I read seems to agree that it has a decent enough sound. Well, for a few bucks shy of 50, I ordered one to try ... haha!!
