to test sub bass
do check out Avril Lavigne's Skater boy..
certain portions the sub bass is a killer. I listened it to with my QT2 it's crazy.
Same here. I use that track to test sub bass. I noticed that it has sub-bass only after I got some decent headphones.

Interesting. Curious to see where the earbud price point will max out (meaning what people are willing to pay).
Is there even a resonable limit? People are willing to pay 1-3k for high end IEMs and CIEMs. Audiophiles are a mad bunch lol

Folks,

Do you have a list with Blur earbuds? If you have prices, it will help a lot. I need to update my list with them. It's not fair to keep it out of the list.

Can't do that with Blur buds. Often he just makes a few of each model. Sales are made by messaging him on Facebook. This is one guy hand making them... so no useful list of models and prices.

unless they evolve beyond only using single dynamic driver, i wouldn't pay more than 400/500 usd

More drivers doesn't necessarily mean better but I get your point, the price to produce single driver earbuds doesn't warrant such a price tag.

Honestly I think $400+ is pushing it with these new releases. It's not like we are getting some crazy planar earbuds or electrostatics.

These are little dynamic drivers with better build quality and tuning than the $10-50 models. Not sure if that warrants $350-390 premium over them.

But it's not really about what they cost to produce or are worth, it's about the limited numbers they will sell which drives the price up.

So the more popular earbuds get the better value for money we should get in theory.

ok early impressions for Ourart ACG, polite, mid centric, no sub bass, clean but gentle treble, big soundstage and nice positioning, the mids are very special, they have some sort of sweetness to them and are very effortless, need boost at around 4db from 10 khz and up, not analytical at all, very detailed but not bright
