Earbuds Round-Up

  Talks about 1MORE - this just arrived an hour ago:
 
First impression: a small upgrade over EO320, but not by a lot. I'll say it is probably still in the scope of 'Great'. Sound signature is closer to that of EO303, rather than EO320 - that it has a warmer, thicker and smoother presentation., but at least it doesn't feel veil like EO303. Overall I feel quite positive about the new E1008, but it is not the Champion/Contender level earbud I was hoping for. Will burn it in and see how it goes.

bummer... 
BTW, I see you have PT15 in your possession for a while, which category would you put them into? 

I also want to know it :)

Anyway, I have been listening to PT15 ever since I got them. Jumped ship from ER4s, the transition was like from a subtle Saikei to a mini garden, some cunning & delicacy was lost in favor of body & scale. 
 
PT15 did a wonderful job in reproducing soundstage(3D-like, sometimes I get the illusion that something is in the room),  treble is among the best I have listened(that kind of clarity I have been talking about). But the bright nature of them poses a major drawback, vocals tend to have an excess of gloss. I have only used the **** silver cable with them, I think I might open the can of worm, no, cable, soon...

  Usually women do not become as obsessed with technical gadgets like us guys...

I totally agree with you, that's the reason i am still single and unmarried :D
That's why i am able to spend any amount of money on Audio gears ..!

On the other hand, my wife loves music and is pleased that I choose stuff for her. She's happy with her Sony A856 and Monk+ earbuds plus my old Audio Technica ATH ES7 headphones. I think it's fun finding new stuff for her. Right now I'm starting to think what she might like when her A856 dies (battery life isn't what it used to be). Perhaps a Sony A2x?

But yeah, I would be lying if I said that I don't miss, at least a little bit, the days when I was single and could spend as much as I wanted without worrying about anything.  :p

Probably somewhere in the lower end contender to upper end great - won't be 100% sure till I have the time to sit down for serious audition and compare it to other earbuds

@luckyeights I strongly suggest you keep an open mind for when the Masya arrives.  I personally feel the bass is impressive for an earbud, and it responds quite well to EQ.  I'm tempted to hook it up to my Cayin C5 or Fiio E12 and see how far it goes.  I wouldn't give up so easily.
