ah ok thanks guys but would u guys say the svara/ebx/lieb are comparable even at different price points? these are all within budget so alls good. lieb ergonomics seems questionable though

comparable in what? SQ? no, not really

Now listening to the mk2 special edition.

The mk1 rev 2 is like a single malt, smooth and refined. The mk3 is like weed , smooth refined and spacious sounding. The mk2 rev 2 is definitely high on cocain, exuberant and energetic - not as detailed as the other two, but super super fun.

My Mk1 Rev2 and Mk2 Ver2 are in transit. Since you have all 3, pls let me know how would you rank them.

No ranking. Honestly, i enjoy them all at different times for same or different music. I like the willsound tuning.

Looking forward to receiving my Willsound MK1 (the red one). I have no idea how long they will take to reach the UK. Ordered one week ago.

I've got these three earbuds, and as far as Bass goes - I'd put them in this order:
1.) Svara-L - (original 115Ω model), $54.00. They have a bit of a recessed Midrange & Treble. NOTE: I haven't heard the current 32Ω model.
2.) MusicMaker ToneKing TO200 - (200Ω), $50.00. They have more Midrange & Treble than the Svara-L.
3.) OurArt Ti7 - (32Ω), $59.00. They also have more Midrange & Treble.
Thank you for the additional suggestions and impressions! I believe I came across that you have a zishan z2 in another thread? Do you have a walnut f1? Basically I'm looking for earphones that can be driven, or rather take advantage of, the power of the amp/dap. I currently have the z2 in hand and it drives my mx 365, h180, and mrice nicely. But was thinking of trying higher impedance earphones as well. It also drives my hd6xx nicely.

Tp16 ohms are in the same range as my other buds now (as is the ourart... Can't remember why it made it to my shortlist)...

Based on this info should I shift my focus? Other possibilities?

Thanks again!

Mine took about 18 days if memory serves me right! :wink: enjoy!
Oh, I just pulled the trigger on the Mk.2s :)

I order from www.rholupat.com , Adhi Rholupat is a great guy to deal with and shipping works out to be cheap on combined orders. I usually receive my parcels within 15 days at New Delhi, India.

Waiting for Willy to finish building the mk1 rev 1, mk2 rev 2, pk32 and mk300 for me now. I've got the older willsounds plus the v friend v master (thai), Audio Varna (indo) and Stix Audio XY (PH) to keep me busy till then.

My MK1 rev.2 are coming from Rholupat. When we ordered them a week ago there was one in stock. Does he only stock a few at a time?

I’m not sure about that, but when I ordered my Mk.1s, he had 2 in stock for ages after that!
Still, they’ll be worth the wait when you get your hands on them! (Don’t forget to give ‘em a bit of burn in) !?!? :)

If the LED is too bright on your Z2, you can replace the series resistor with a larger one - I used a 20KΩ, and it has dimmed the LED quite a bit.

A while back you mentioned building a desktop unit:

"Instead of buying one of the Walnut v3 (Balanced Output) DAPs, I'm checking with the local "Creator Group", to make a case (either metal or copper-foil lined plastic), that will house a Zishan Z2 and a Walnut F1 Balanced Amp, along with a 5000 - 7000mAh battery. :ksc75smile: "

Did you ever do this?
