  I haven't really given them as much time as they deserved. They're not bad, but since you have the Mojito I would probably skip them. They're all over a little less refined in my opinion, and somewhat lacking at the lower end in comparison (listening to them again now, they're better than what I remembered first time around). They do look the part though, and I really like that rubber cover that has a little lip on the inside angling the drivers towards your ear canal - wish I had something like that for the Mojito.

How are the mids and do you feel VX Pro are balanced or v-shaped?

How does this compare to rx-1 ?

MUCH more aggressive! one of the most aggressive sounding buds i know. excellent for rock/metal.... more forward mids than rx-1, or most buds. light bass, can be a little rough sounding compared to rx1, most one of the most energetic buds.
 
 

 
I tried to buy Yinman HiFi (音曼) 醇净2.0 500ohm but bought their 150ohm instead...!

No, not sure I want to pay that much for those earbuds yet.
 


Well, how about you buy my pair of QFred for $200 including registered shipping (that would be about $20). Then I'll buy a new pair of QFred. I'll lose some money in the process, but it would be cool if some more opinions on QFred could be heard.

You might not like it, but seeing that you put Sennheiser MX985 and Blox TM7 at the top of your list we might have some preference for sound signature in common.

QFred is different sounding than MX985 and TM7, but to my ears it's definitely on the same level. Too bad that the high price and lack of feedback keeps people from trying it out...

(The offer above is ONLY for ClieOS)

Haha! I was going to ask Herry about group purchase but forgot. Will try to remember to do that. He's quite nice and does not mind to chat.

Let's see but I guess Herry would rather like to keep the prices at luxury product level. My personal psychological price barrier for earbuds is set at around $150 (delivered). And I have crossed this boarder only once, after fighting with myself for few months and that was with Mojito. In fact, later I regretted it but maybe that's only because Mojito didn't really appeal to my personal tastes.

Well, my barrier used to be around $100. It was completely crushed when I got into vintage earbuds.

I wasn't overly thrilled with Celsus Gramo One ($249). It is technically great and very transparent and natural. It just didn't work for me. Same with VE Zen 2. I would have kept Mojito since it worked great with metal, but to my ears QFred obliterated it when it comes to timbre and even soundstage (much more narrow on QFred but better depth and tallness).
I think Blox TM7 was the first $100+ earbud that was not vintage that I bought. Have not regretted it one second. With QFred I only felt a second of remorse after I just had taken it out of the box and listened to metal. Wrong music genre for QFred and it was before burn in...

Tomahawks for 27 usd. ....should i buy ?:O

Yes, same here. $150 is a good ball park :) He will get many customers if he changes the price !
