I agree.

A few years ago I bought a NIB vintage Sony MDR-W20G. I liked it so much I looked for another one, and was shocked to see USED ones were going for stupid ridiculous prices ($150-$200). It was obvious the inflated prices were due to nostalgia factor, because no way in heck is the Sony MDR-W20G worth that kind cheddar.

I have some collector Sony stuff , only one I overpaid (xb90ex)

Which one 64? K's 64 ohm or K's Earphone 64U or K's 64s?

There were such K's 64 earbuds in our company of friends. Nobody liked. Recommend skipping this model

PH-10 is a very well made earbud, consider that it only costs $10. It just lacks a bit of airiness and detail to make it to the next level.

Good Day! What's the Sound of the Ocean Pearl OP139? I can't find any reviews/ impressions of this specific earbud. Thanks!

Warm, a bit on the full and fun side of things. A bit like the original VE Monk, but not quite as good. Still, it is worth the $5.7 that I paid for, though the cable does look cheap.

 

[jogawag]

there are different opinions about better or worse .. a matter of taste..
I really like, so I bought a second pair from Japan recently.

An unused vintage model Mdr-e848 (about $ 80) arrived at my house and listened for about 18 hours.
The soundstage is wide, transparent sounding, and the double foams provide ample bass, so I'm very happy with this Mdr-e848 as I expected. And I have listened to Turandot and IMHO the Mdr-e848 is certainly better than Turandot.
In my ranking this Mdr-e848 was ranked second after Docomo's earphones!

Sony has Mdr-e868 (a price of about $ 100) and Mdr-e888 (a premium price of about $ 300-400) as high-end models of Mdr-e848.
And according to two old writing on the net, "if the sound quality of the Mdr-e868 is 100, the Mdr-e868's is 70 and the Mdr-e848's is 50".
So I set my next target to Mdr-e888 or Mdr-e868.

Sorry for the dark photo.

Good Day! I am new here in HeadFi and I am starting my Earbud Journey. So recently I found these Transcend Earbuds here in our online shop. I did not find any sound impressions/ reviews regarding on this specific earbud. Does anyone know the sound of this one? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks!

Good to hear! How's the sound? is it bassy? Warm?

I have a completely different opinion.
I used to have some Transcend DAPs and their Earbuds.
The Transcend Earbuds Shell is the same as the AKG's famous K312 / K314 Earbuds, but the sound quality is different from that of the AKG, they are crisp and the bass is thin.
Unfortunately, the Earbuds were basically just a DAP bonus and not something I could recommend to many people...

I see, the closest earbuds that have the same shell is the AKGs and the TY Hi-Z 300 ohms. Very interesting

 

[Alex.Grimm]

Yep, The sound is a little better than Edifier P180/H180/K180, Philips SHE3800. If the price is very low, you can try.

 

[DAndrew]

Those are expensive now

That particular model really isnt, well it depends on your definition of expensive

 

[DAndrew]

...or maybe they are just fake. Aiwa earbuds were already widely counterfeited before the company went under.

I really doubt they were fake, lets not pretend everything aiwa and sony made are gold, just because its vintage doesnt mean it cant be crap. That particular model is just that, crap.

 

[DAndrew]

Thanks for the information , it would be sad to buy one only to find out that it is fake

You cant really be sure of that, just think of it as that filtering has already been done. Who would keep a crappy fake earbud of all things to listen to for such a long period of time only to sell it on ebay for a profit 20~ years later? If its not a pristine NOS from somewhere in China I would not worry about it too much...

I cant even remember if I ever saw someone complain that they got a fake vintage bud, its not even worth it to think about it unless you are getting the really expensive sony/technics/aiwa buds.
