Could anyone suggest an upgrade to Sl 1.0+ CE ?

What's lacking in the SL and what source do you use? Anything in particular you listen to primarily? More info will let you get a better response.

My wife isn't into earbuds and she was blown away by the SL 1.0+. More than my other earbuds. And there are others in the same price range as good, maybe better.

A very good side-grade is the Yincrow RW9.

I hope so!

I think a good introduction to earbuds are a Vido $2 and Qian 25 $5. For $7 that's some good quality listening gear to get started!

A great earbud that I think is a bit better is the K's 64

Pretty crazy actually.

If one were to get them, it would lead to the slippery slope of K's earbuds!

Yes I'm lying at the bottom (but have a smile)

Are the Z3 or DSD capable of driving higher impedance earbuds in the 300-320ohm range? I can't seem to find info on their output impedance and ratings.

The DSD has tons of power and can drive the bigger loads for sure. I’ll have to check the Z3. That one has less power, but still very adequate. I find the open sound of these devices to have great timbre for earbuds not just the power. Their analog sound makes buds sound more “real” and have more good bass.

I just saw a picture of a red RW-9 that has a chin slider, which made me curious, because my white RW-9 doesn't have one. Looking at all the colors, they all have a chin slider except for the white ones. This is an outrage, I demand a $.00001 refund for that missing piece of plastic.

I am enjoying the RW-9 today with my brand new Radsone ES100. I'm now looking at getting a pair of MMCX buds that I can pair with a balanced cable for the ES100's balanced output. I don't have any headphones with a balanced cable, and I feel like I should get my full money's worth out of the ES100, right???? I see a high impedance Toneking bud in my future.

The money just keeps flowing out of my paypal account...

Yes, i have it, and a walnut v2 and z1 and a dsd, and they all do all my high impedance buds beautifully throw a burson v5i in the z3 and upgrade the caps and your good to go put i have heard people have problems with theres ( qc isn't that great) i have changed the battery too

Ha ha, I had the same thought! I went through something similar with the former.
Benefit of the doubt, but I'll just observe from now on.

??? Did not get you.

 

[MelodyMood]

Same here. I only buy buds with mics. Just get the Sabia V6 from here (Standard Version) and you will be happy. Never had a better bud with mic.

Ok. Looks good. Silverplate cable is nice looking but seems there is no mic with the silver cable.

 

[MelodyMood]

you mic guys should seriously look into something like the fiio BTR1K. such an awesome little device for about $50.

We are talking about Earbud here and not device. Only if this device is clone of my Smartphone, then only it can be considered

 

[MelodyMood]

What is the difference in FiiO EM3 and EM3S? Seems em3 is new one?
