ahahaha fingers crossed

can i ask what cable you are using for your asg-2?

 

[Cotnijoe]

DHC fusion iem cable. Its honestly kind of an overkill for the ASG2 but i was pretty interested in the idea behind the cable so i though id put in the extra 60 or 70 dollars for it

Abolustley loving this little set up atm.

These new Yamaha HPH MT220 Studio Monitors are super worthy imo! I can't enough of these bad boys.

still waiting for your impression, sir Rudi! 

personally want to know how the ZX1 went agaist the higher ups like Hibino/AK120

 

[CosmicHolyGhost]

my frd helped me to get these from U.S.
have not had the energy nor time to mod these to balance yet... still using the stock cable...
no burn in, ootb beautiful neutral sound... the best synergy so far is using them with kojo km01 brass amp..
maybe the last purchase in 2013

My first IEM setup. Got the W4r some days ago and will probably be selling them. For the price of a pair of HD600 these are proper *****. Guess they sound good for an IEM but i was still hoping for a bit more. 
 
(Shot with the LG Nexus 5. Not the usual fancy DSLR shot but it will have to do.)

There are way better iems out there

  There are way better iems out there 

Well, yes. Sure, there is always something better.
I just impulsed the W4r:s and was expecting crisp, clean and clear tones straight out of my FiiO X3, well let's say that the search is still on.
Have been eying up the Heir 4.Ai. But I'm not sure if i should go for them or not. Kinda feel discouraged from getting IEM:s now.

You could spend $200 and achieve such a sound, with Dunu's DN-1000 hybrid which I rate higher than Westone 4. Or possibly T-Peos H-200. Westone 4 is rather warm in the mid range and a little veiled to protect fatigue, it was never going to be crystal clear and clean,  owning two pairs for some strange reason I always found them more focused for relaxing more than your typical energetic presentation. Something like the Dunu has that crystal clear sound you're looking for without spending a bucket load. Wasn't a fan of Heir 3Ai, won't even go there.......

Goodluck on your search...

NWZ-A828-->Headstage Arrow 4G-->JVC FX700/Monster Gratitudes.
 
The Gratitudes are a smashing combination, I mean DAT BASS!!!
 
Got them from Amazon for only $60,

What do you like more FX700 or Gratitudes?
I was having FX500 lot of years ago(they were super phones to me that time), now my main phones are Gratitudes and i love them, especially with amping and HFM601LE.

Could possibly be. 
I don't know what the X3 sounds like but I know the E11 is awful,
I couldn't even run iem's off it as it made my ears bleed! ( Not literally! lol )
The E17 sounds far better but still wasn't great with in ears.
What DAC does the X3 use???
