Anyone here heard of the Earnine EN120? It's a Japanese iem, unfortunately it isn't in the US or international market yet, but from impressions and some reviews, it seems to be extremely promising. I have spoken to Earnine and they seem to be working on a over ear but also they may start selling internationaly, it's just a heads up, it may be a giant kilker . I gave them an idea of making the iem with a detachable cable, we'll see what happens.

Can anyone compare the following IEMs:

Betnew H1
BGVP DM5

I’d like to try 1 of the 2 for the 11.11 sale.

I’d love to know how either compares to the Magaosi K3 Pro, especially with the DM5’s physical resemblance to the K3.

DM5 seems to be dual drivers, reported to have Knowels 30042 BA + Graphene, but who knows if the Knowles is genuine or not.

Betnew H1 is triple driver (2BA+1DD). Not sure on the driver specs.

Thanks

Cant speak to the H1 but to my ear K3 > DM5 by a good margin. I liked the DM5 but it was nowhere near as resolving as the K3.

This makes no sense to me. You can "focus" them however you want within a certain range of their default signature.

Think of it like this. Take whatever IEM you like best. Now say you can unscrew the nozzle and screw on a different one that will attenuate the treble. Making them less bright. Or screw in one that will cut the treble and mids both a little, giving you a greater perceived bass response.

That's all it is. It's still the same earphone at its core.

I think it's because it sounds like I'm paying for a bunch of crap I don't want. Like it's a $200 product with an extra $50+ of various doodads that modify the sound.

My main concern is that if I have $X00 burning a hole in my pocket, a modular headphone seems like the least cost effective measure, despite the A4 and FLC8 reviewing so well.

Maybe I'll just pull the trigger around Xmas time and get one of 'em. I know you're right, like I totally realize you are, it's just a gut feeling I'm struggling to cast off.

I'll make you an offer, Send me something I haven't heard to review, and I'll send you my Icarus III with the filters to audition. We both pay our own shipping and promise to return after a 2 week audition. That way you can decide if the filters are something worth giving a shot or if they are not for you without being $250 in to find out.

Thanks.

Not looking for a side grade, and certainly not looking for a downgrade :)
