I'm trying to resist the urge but... If you were to pick one...

Smabat m1 pro

Or

Toneking TO400

...

?

(You should all be answering , 'noooo! Save your money!!')

I'm looking for soundstage, clarity, bass extension (decent amount, neutral at least)... I have the Samara, EB2, B40, me80, ...

Thanks!


Thanks!
Not sure about the M1 but the To400 doesn't have anywhere near neutral bass on my unit. Rolls off pretty substantially almost like the Ourart TI7 but with less mid bass warmth. Hopefully my unit was the exception but I think its just not an earbud with a good bass response to match its impressive neutral mids and highs.

You do realize that at least 99% of the people on this forum are addicted and are enablers!!

Are you implying that none of this is normal?

Strange, while the TO400s doesn't have a huge amount of mid-bass (which I like as there's no bleed into mids) I find it to have great extension with good rumble down low, could be units variation definitely. I will see if I can find a frequency test tomorrow and tell you how low mine goes.

Thanks for the clarification. I think I'm barking up the wrong tree...

Save your money...












To buy the M1 pro. Bass becomes audible around 36hz when I checked on a frequency test.

Don't wanna sound like an enabler, maybe Smabat ST10 (big bro of m1 pro)? IMHO the to400 really benefits if its swap with a copper cable instead of the stock (copper/silver plated).

Hanging around here makes me normal.

Guys the KBEAR Knight N52 whorth the money? How about the bass response?
I already have both kube v1 and v2 and Toneking TO600.

Still waiting for my KBear Knight from 11.11 sale. The kube1 is really a phenomenal earbud. Bought the orange and black ones first and ended up getting the blue, purple and another orange also as spares.

So many excellent buds in my little collection...and today I am listening to my music with an oldie but goodie... attached to my desktop dac/amp. My "newest" Sony Ericsson HPM-64 recabled yesterday by my husband @HungryPanda.

I have several colors with various cables. I need new group shot... to include this one, plus I have gifted a couple of my others. Also I need a group shot of my many colors of Kubev1s

The only bud I use without foams. They just disappear into my ears. I can listen for hours and hours.

They do require a recable though...unless you are using them with certain old Sony phones


For some reason there is no writing on the shells of the silver and also the red that we have... even though these definitely have the same drivers.

This one is the first one that he ever recabled.. and so began the DIY buds. Bought a bunch of these pink ones for a couple of pounds each for him to practice on. A few drivers were killed during the process. This was the first successful pair. I was listening it couple of weeks ago.
