Not looking for straight up balanced armature. I am leaning towards a dynamic driver/balanced armature. I am assuming that is the hybrid system? I looked at the Shure se215 but I am not interested because it has a single dynamic driver. I would also prefer the dynamic driver to be at least 10mm, preferably at least 12mm.
I resesrched the chi fi thread but am very skeptical of Chinese quality. I know some gems are in there but after not seeing much piquing my interest I moved on. The 1more triple drivers is on sale for $60 . That is on my radar. I don't know how big the dynamic driver is though it seems the bass is not lacking. When I was looking at the Chi Find stuff the Simgot interested me but they have not been around long to draw a reasonable conclusion on quality and longevity and the drivers are only 10mm, well the EM2 and EN700 at least. There are 10% off coupons so I am looking at ~$95 and ~$130. I have not made my Amazon order because now I am on the fence about applying that 1more $60 to the Simgot. If the drivers were at least 12mm I would probably have pounced on it already. I am not a basshead but who does not love bass? The Simgot reviews irk me because either one seems to be up my alley but I know if it does not exceeds my expectations I will continue spending money to round out my ear bud collection.
Any thoughts or insights for the 1more, EM2 and EN700 somebody could share to help my decision?
Oh and some comments were made in this thread that confused me about the balanced port on the ES100. Is it not a 2.5mm jack and if the cable that comes with either Simgot is 3.5mm can I get a MMCX that supports the balanced port on the ES100. Any clarification would be much appreciated.
