I have the DN2k coming within a few weeks too.
 
I would rather buy the KC06a through a paypal source like Penon this time, considering my first pair of kc06 being defective and all.
 
SF likes one of the chinese finds that I also like? I'm shocked. Must be a fluke or opposite day

ikr, since you're on a roll so why not try your luck by sending me those Havi B3 pro 1s of yours to see how i like them. hoho
 
DEWITTT!!!

Asynchronous is for wimps!

Btw Nick, you have some spare Vmoda Bliss 3.0 Fittings lying around I'm sure, so get some KC06's and throw the vmoda tips on 'em for some fairly serious (yet still well controlled) bass. I'm always amazed at how those vmoda tips can enhance bass and yet still control it. When they say "Bass Level Isolating Soft Silicon", they are not kidding! Very cool. I'm having fun trying to determine which of the vmoda, TF10 or UE900 tips I like most with the birds (but the kc06's sound good with all of them).

It's 30th April in China now, I hope Shenzhenaudio or Penonaudio get KC06A ASAP.

Edit: Okay, this is interesting

This plug it is our own bloody siege tone adjustable silicone plugs. Transparent, balanced sound external adjustable silicone plugs. You can freely select your favorite high-frequency brightness.

Oh man, I hope the As aren't a big price jump from the originals.

392 yuan on taobao. Hardly a price jump at all

 

[hatefulsandwich]

Excellent. Just gotta wait for Penon or Shenzhen to offer them.

Dangit, this sound like crap straight of my new phone (yamaha chip). Source is hella important for this IEM, wasn't expecting this drastic difference with other device it sounds fine enough on my old phone albeit with audible noise.

I wonder when Ostry will release a headphone with the exact same sound as the KC06's...

The KC06's sounds very musical, and so I wish for a headphone version of it. If only, if only!

...or am I the only one? Lol

So I just got the Ostry and first impressions were fantastic: with the medium wide-bore tips they're well balanced, they've got the perfect amount of bass, a nice airy presentation and I'm definitely hearing more details than I could with the VSD1s. Sound-wise the only problem is they lack some depth in the soundstage so it can sound a bit two-dimensional, otherwise they'd be perfect!
 
However I'm having real trouble getting a good fit with them. The metallic "point" of the housing digs into the back of my ear. Does anyone else have this problem? I had a similar problem with the SE215 so I must have particularly small ears.
 
I've tried tip-rolling to fix the comfort. The large small-bore tips and various small-bore silicone/hybrid tips give a shallower fit which is more comfortable with the large sony hybrids being the best. However all of them seem to warm up the sound, giving the bass a bit of boost and making them much more intimate. I much preferred the airy sound I got with the wide-bore default tips.

LOL... I missed the "headphone" meaning you were saying.  I agree -- I love headphones as well, especially over-the-ear ones.  They are great for cold winters!

If you mod HP100 to be semi open it actually got pretty close to Ostry with the added midbass.

@Telltale
Do you wear it around ear style? Try wearing it top down (or not around ear, whatever it's actually called).
