blame huddler for me not being up to check  the latest iems because i dont log in anymore.

it looks interesting,i want something to replace the terrible mc5 i have.

Yes, the MC5 are truly awful, I'm having a pair here at the moment. The e-Q5 are pretty much the same as the e-Q7, only a bit cheaper and (IMO) better fit and build quality. Meaning, right up there at the top of the IEM food chain.

Nice, Trentino. It looks like some serious bang for the buck right there. I love the way the Senn HDxx's soundstage just wraps clear around the head.

Got to meet the boys earlier this year, great bunch of folks!

 
Not only am I a huge TPB fan - but seeing Mike Smith / Bubbles wearing a tshirt with my avatar pretty much made my day. Thanks for the pic!

No worries! If you ever get a chance to see their live show go see it, so funny! They are very talented actors. I got to go to the VIP event afterwards and they were really generous with their time even though they had an early morning flight the next day!

What don't y'all like about the MC5s? I was pretty happy with them. They sound pretty good for their price, IMO.

Have them correct me if I am wrong, but I believe they were being sarcastic...

I don;t think they were
 
The best thing the MC5 has going for it is that it has superior isolation and that it has decent build quality. Sound wise there are better options esp at that price range where there are so many options to choose from. I just don't think they are that good although I did get them for $55 at a local store which is better than the $85 or so I would have gotten had it been at full price.

My rig.... RWA iMod U2, ER4S, StepDance

 

 

 

[sluker]

May I ask why you are not using the LOD doc with the IMOD? Does it not sound like a standard ipod 5.5 gen HPO feeding the stepdance?

 

[chowyeung]

It's because my iMod is a 4Gen U2. RWA had already put the cap inside the ipod and disabled the phone out function.
The 3.5mm jack is now serving as a line out jack. Thus no need to buy those over-priced LOD.

Good point. I bought them for isolation though and for that purpose, they are great. I really dislike the microphonics though. Even with the shirt clip, it's still present. I plan on hanging onto them until I have my triplefi's reshelled. Then I'll give them to a friend or something.

I can finally post some pics here and be part of this thread, thanks to my lx5. Just sharing.

How efficient is the MC5? Does the it benefit much from supplementary amplification?

 

[violinvirtuoso]

^ What amp is that? An iBasso... T3D?

 

[SteeleW]

Not really. My ipod and clip+ drive it fine. Lows can get distorted a bit when eq'd up and a little amplification helps to clear that up. Other than that, if you run a flat eq, any DAP will power it fine.
