thats why i said nearly , but by the way , i have a trouble , i got cc51p , i wonder if xba-1 and ue 600 worth a fight , i got all at nealy $80 each , cc51 is awesome no doubt , but i just wonder if these two worth a go . what happen when i get money i just cant help it , it gets on my head , got to spend it , and spend it nice . or it will get blown .
 

 
I only heard the XBA-1 briefly. It seemed good, I liked the signature better than that of the XBA-04, but not sure where it would rate following proper long-term listening tests.

Finally a great review of the K3003! All the others I've seen around here are always a kind of love or hate review! You done it again, ljokerl... Thanks!

I'm loving the MEElectronics M6. It's so cheap yet it fantastic for the price. Coming from higher end stuff the mids are a little muffled, but overall its an excellent and durable iem for the price. The bass is very nice also, sounds more natural and can feel more air movement than BA style bass.

 
I still have my original red one with copper memory wire

. Terrible cable noise on that old thing but it sounds great.

Is there a review here?  Just got a pair and not  that impressed.

 
Only the J3. I wasn't overly impressed with it.

ljokerl, I enjoyed reading your review on the K3003. How is it compared to the EX1000 in your opinion? Thanks.

 
Thanks. The EX1000 has that headphone-like out-of-the-head presentation that's so different from most IEMs out there. The K3003 is more intimate though it has excellent depth and width still. Signature-wise the K3003 has more bass (esp. mid-bass), similar midrange presence, and smoother lower treble (where the EX1000 has some emphasis). I also thought the K3003 had very good extension whereas the EX1000 didn't impress me in that regard.

do hifiman re0 still worth to buy today?

 
Can't think of anything I'd rather listen to for $79 but it's not quite as far ahead of the competition as it once was.

id America Spark
********************
i just received my id America Sparks today.
unfortunately they don't seem to support my Samsung Galaxy S.
the "Play/Pause" button has to remain being pressed for them
to sound good.
i wrapped a rubber band around it so that it would remain pressed down,
and i just wanted to try and ask if anyone know of a better solution?
and would it be likely that the button will break since it is being pressed down
all the time?
such a shame that this wonderful set of phones has this compatibility issue.
they sound really good, just as i hoped.
as good as my Klipsch Image S4 without the harshness.
thanks

Have you tried the FXT90 with other tips like Sony Hybrids?
The ergonomic FXT90 fits perfectly for me, so isolation is actually very good for me

That's really weird.... a normal IEM should play normally regardless of the compability of the buttons....
Usually if the buttons are incompatible, the buttons just don't work... it shouldn't effect the playback of the phone... 
 
Joker, what other IEM's has similar cable like the FXT90? I really really like them... it's....really soft and memory free...
I believe the word I'm looking for is flexible... you can shape it however you like, it just doesn't fight... It's even more flexible than the CK10 cable
I never found a cable I like as much as this...

AKG K3003i ...... Ummm! i'm thinking in the Vsonic GR08

Depends on how much bass you need - there are decidedly bass-heavy sets with good detail such as the JVC FX700//FX500 and Atrio MG7 as well as more balanced options (that are still not bass-light) - for example the VSonic GR07, Yamaha EPH-100, and Earsonics SM2.
 
 
 
It's rare for heavy bass not to affect the rest of the spectrum but if you're okay ordering internationally there's a number of choices depending on the exact signature you want - Fischer Eterna and Consonance, Xears TD-III, id America Spark, Soundmagic E10, etc. 

 
Thank you for the help. OK I'm thinking of getting the VR06. It's cheaper than the id American Sparks since it has free shipping to Canada. The Spark will cost me an extra $18 to get it to ship to Canada. The E10 looks like it has good value but I'm willing to spend a bit more for going up a tier. Is there a big difference between the E10 and sparks or VR60?

I can't wait to hear about the GR08...I think there's a chance it will be neck-and-neck with the UM Merlin for my next major purchase.

What's your source?
There were rumors about a price of around $320...

 

[imackler]

Didn't ClieOS report it was going to be $320 USD?
