UU2 is more at the mid of category 2 (The Good). AS-Feeling is either at the top of category 2 or lower end of category 1 (The Great) - I haven't made up my mind yet.

AS-Feeling has the Sunrise house sound, which is typically warm and sweet with a smooth treble. UU2 is kind of airy but not harsh, good clarity but lacks bass impact.

Well, not direct upgrade at least. M2c is the only earbud that I think can be properly called a PK3 upgrade.

1) do you think the feeling2 is at the PK2 level?
2) did you have a chance to try the OK's series?

1) My last listen to PK2 is way too long ago so I realy don't remember much about it. But if I have to make an educational guess, I'll say they are close.

What is your opinion on the Sunrise Dragon2?
I really enjoy them amped with the JDS O2 amp.
fast clean and detailed, slightly on the leaner side.

Dangon 2 is an excellent earbud, definitely the best Sunrise has ever made and nothing less even compared to that of PK1. I really like it as well.

Glad you think so too, i always use foams with it.
And some people ask how it is compared to PK1, i've not heard PK1, but what are the main differences?

PK1 has a denser, fuller mid range and smoothness over the whole range; Dragon 2 has wider image with better positioning and handle micro detail a little better. Otherwise the two share more similarity than difference.

This is a re-post from the other earbuds thread. But I would like to share my take on the MX-980.
To my ears, the Senn MX-980 is an incredible earbuds. I bought mine used recently for $100 and couldn't be happier. Superb sound in many aspects. By far, the best sounding earbuds in my experience. I wonder how Sennheiser was able to manage to pull this off. Listening to the 980 is like listening to a full-sized phones. What I've found to be most impressive about the MX980 is its rendering of soundstage and the excellent imaging. Heck, my JH13pro can't even best the MX980 in the soundstage & imaging department. Of course, the 13pro is on another level on everything else though.
Compared to my other buds namely Sony MDR-E484, E472, and E888. The MX-980 slaughtered them all. The difference is very noticeable even coming from the legendary Sony MDR-E484. I'm using it out of my Sony NW-F807 unamped using nothing but Flac files. Well done Sennheiser!! Has anyone tried the MX-985?

Yep, the MX980 are great. I'm also curious about the MX985, but since the MX980 are so great the MX985 can surely only have cosmetic changes...
I still think that the sony E484 are great. The sound is much more in your face than the MX980, and the soundstage is smaller, but the music still feels layered. The E282 are slightly better than the E484, and I find the old E252 to be even better and very close to the MX980 (and Blox TM7 which sound as good as the MX980). It's sad that Sony made their best earbuds 30 years ago and then each model slowly got worse.
If you have the opportunity, check out Blox ANV3 or TM7. Those are amazing as well!
