So i bought the wrong amp to join the high impedance earbuds train pretty dissapointed but yeah nx3 is just another entry level amp ...

What kind of earbuds that i can listen to its best with nx3 mate? Should i forget about earbuds that have higher impedance than my current seahf smart 1.0 150ohm?

I'd say with nx3 in theory less than 150ohms earbuds would be driven very well. If you keep nx3, you should look for earbuds that don't require too much power, Shozy Stardust maybe
If you really want very high impedance earbuds, you will have to buy an other amp to do them justice. By example, I know someone has ty400 with nx5 and is very happy with it.

Last night I was listening to Hans Zimmer's Interstellar soundtrack - for the first time with the RX1. I was approaching the end of the first track when something strange happened. I started to hear a strong rattling sound from the left driver. I was afraid my RX1 have gone bad. I have tried that same track with a few other earbuds and it only happened with the RX1. It is noticeable on other Interstellar tracks especially at end when there is a deep monotonic sub-bass sound. It seems that there is something wrong with the left driver noticeable due to some kind of resonant frequency. Maybe it happens on other songs and music but it is drown out by other sound. I should maybe try to open the driver and use blutack as a dampener or perhaps it would be better to talk to Penonaudio for a replacement.

It could be some dust inside. Try blow some air in it and see if that fix it.

practically earbuds doesn't require that much of power because they are efficient (especially modern one) and have small driver so they don't require power as much as headphone by the same resistance and sensitivity
ohm is only resistance, there are still other parameter to take into account if that earbuds could be driven by a particular amp. or not
even my phone could drive Zen 1 properly enough.
But that is my subjective opinion and the word "driven properly" is already subjective for me.

It's not the impedance, but the sensitivity of the earphone. While i don't have the specs of the ty hi-z 400s, if you hear the nx3 + 400s having the speed, dynamics, etc, then you should be fine.

maybe soon i will sell it and save more money to buy more powerfull amp, either i have fun with nx3 with my seahf 150, but still i regret i took a wrong step on amplifier

Yes definitely mate. I aim to buy cayin c5 / fiio e12 that placed in used audio gears market here in Indonesia, i'm feeling like yeah its not going to run it effectively although based on specs of ty hi-z its sensitive enough and i count it doesnt need too much power (based on impedance calculator i know this is not a recommended way to prove its a hard driven earbuds or not lol XD )

My phone is no better than nx3 to run my seahf, XD

Hi guys,
Any recommendations for a budget earbud with mic that have decent sound quality beside ve monk+?

@ClieOS
 
what is the difference between shozy bk and stardust? Is it the same IEM?

  BTW, regarding Shozy Stardust and BK - I have confirmation from Shozy that they are the same thing.

 
...and no, they are not IEM. They are earbuds

Today I test my ty 320 with sinegen and Q1. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong but after a few swipe I hear bass rattle in right driver. Almost give me a heart attack. After calming down I test it with some bass resonance track an it seems fine. Pheww..!

All I read about few seahf based earbud having develop driver problem scared me a little.

320 now at my friend so he can get a taste of it and I'm back at tomahawk. The cable get stiffer everyday so I'm not using it much now.

How about 150 ohm TY? Is it safe to categorize 150 as half as good as 320. Maybe in the middle compares to 32? If it is I might get 1 just for daily driver. How about comparing 150 and MrZ TP16.

Check on the new Fiio A5's impressions vs E12 if the upgrade really worths it, before making a move, and if you can afford it.
Good luck for your earbuds' journey bro.

I have used the Vivo X510 with mic, it works very good even with some Karaoke app.

What is the best seahf earbud (value for money wise)? I'm tempted to give them a try.

Thank you sir. My local retailers have these earbuds. I'll check this out too.

Definitely contact customer service before opening them up.
