Nice find on the KEF M100! Was a bit curious about those a while back. Might have bit but Amazon Japan has the Elecom CB1000 for around $30(or did yesterday) and I couldn't pass them up.

Got these in today:

Pretty nice presentation. Fairly generic case and silicone tips. Does come with two types of foam tips. One round olive style and the other the more traditional cylinder foam tunnel type. Interesting combo of two sizes of silicone, two sizes of the round foam, and one of the more standard foams. Off to check them out a bit and see what the deal is :)

Curious what those Oomo are all about Jant. They look interesting. It will be curious to find out if the market speak is just that or for real. Looking forward to your take on what your hearing.

Guys!

What's the best earphone I can get for $20?

Come at me broz!

My personal all time favorite iem under $20 is the Swing ie800.

Haven't spent a lot of time with the Audeze, but they seem odd to me. They do some things great... Silence between notes, open, good instrumental timbre. Bass is tight and rhythmic, but not deep. And, while instruments spread out wide, depth seems to be limited (it's almost like they spread all the instruments in a line). What they do well, they do really well! Need more time with them...

You have to play around with the fit, but the bass is there (deep). And yes, it's a peculiar earphone/headphone, but there's nothing else like it out there now except the ME.1, but it does its own thing with a bit of a different sound signature. I like the ME.1 better, but both are outstanding to me. Well, back to burning in the It01 and then the Audeze again. Give it time to burn in with the iSine20 .

Definitely have trouble with the tips included, and the bore on the nozzle is too wide for my other tips. I'll have to keep playing around with it.

I think the shozy zero is still relevant to this thread, being one of the only iems in its price range to deliver a neutral/dark with sweet midrange kind of signature. Also, it's sound signature is adjustable via burn in.

I asked this question over at the zx300 thread too

I have access to a Multimeter however I have never touched one ever in my life. Would some kind experienced member kindly point me to how I can check the 4.4mm (to 2.5mm) adapter to see if the pin layout are the same and check the ground.

I use tips from the Kef M200 on it.

Obviously. I'm not some n00b. I'm just looking for recommendations. Throw crap at the wall and see what sticks.

I know. I was messing with ya. Calm down.

UiiSii CM5 has Bass that only a Graphene can deliver and can take some serious power. Adv S2000 is pretty darn good for the price of $25
