Whoo! Thread hit 1000 pages as we were having a power outage for the first time in a couple of years, which meant music by candlelight and an early evening.
 
Luckily power just came on so now I can thank you all for your kind wishes on this milestone, and of course for all of the support I've received through the years. This thread would have died out long ago without all of the feedback and the community spirit behind it, including support from the Head-Fi admins.
 
Going back to bed now, but you guys have made my night

  Joker - you were right! I got a set of HisoundAudio Crystals last week and i really like the sound. They remind me of the Brainwavz in many ways (similar - fun,warm signature) but with added clarity (which is almost on par with the RE-400).
 
Mids aren't as spectacular as the RE-400, however it makes up for it in the low end - which is what i wanted.
 
They seem to be a good match for my music taste.
 
Thanks.

Hey joker, which model of the LG quadbeat do you prefer?

Thanks in advance.

 
I've only tried one - the F420. So that one, I guess.
 
  What about MDR7550? I actually got these iems but thought more people heard EX1000.
All I know 7550 is more relaxed on highs than EX1000 bu what about SD2. That would be even better for me as I prefer highs from very cheap Tenores or even Sony Mh1. 

 
SD-2 and MDR-7550 are actually not very different at all in overall balance or tone. SD-2 is about as sibilance-free as it gets with a balanced sound so it should be a good option - there are a few sets that kill sibilance better, like the EarSonics SM3, HiFiMan RE-400/RE-600, and the MH1C you mentioned, but at that performance level and with a fairly balanced signature I'd say the SD-2 is your best option. It's certainly not as prone to it as the GR07 or EX1000.

Brainwavz R3 and HiFiMan RE-400
 
  Will you review the fxt200

 
Never even heard of it until now. Not in the cards for the time being.

Congrats ljokerl

1000 pages and 10000 posts! Way more than 10000 in fact. The first 7 posts in this thread have more than 400 posts crammed into it. 
And the most important/impressive fact is that around 3000 of those posts are dedicated to help/suggestions.
 
When Head-fiers are asked "What do you think of the legendary joker?", a follow-up question of "which one?" is inevitable

A big thank you from all of us!

RE300H is out with $49 price tag. Do you have plans to get your hands on them?  It seems it is the most bassier model of all RE series so far. Some members say it is on par with RE-ZERO and love child of RE400 and Havi B3. Would like to see your review soon.

I'm sure I'll have them on-hand eventually - maybe from InnerFidelity. Should be interesting!
 
All these reviews and yet no tf10..
