On a prolonged Listen I was finding the Bettes a Tad bit strident in their Treble presentation, NEVER going into Sibilance but brighter EQ nonetheless. I changed from a Wide Bore to a Medium Bore and That seems to tame it a bit. I tried complys but once again they squashed the sound. Honestly, I have yet to find earphones that complys work for me with. Must be the shape of my ear canals or something.
 
Or my Triangular head, which is the norm for people from my Dimension.

Ostry OS 200 or 300 should take care of it...

I posted this before...many have problems with Comply sound if you don't insert then properly. Check out Tyll's take.

This seems pretty intriguing from HzSound....HZ3's over-the-ear,angled jack and larger 12.5mm driver (for OTE iem model!). Never tried HzSound before,anyone had/have budget EP001 cld share.

I reviewed EP001 before, warm/smooth v-shaped sound, a bit veiled (lacked details).  Nothing special, but build quality and packaging was premium.

Congrats! Next you need balanced for your favorite headphones (it does sound great unbalanced, not urgent, but moves up a notch or so when you go balanced)

I've been sort of stalking the Pono for months now. I read Tyll's thoughts over at innerfidelity and he seems to think they're on eye level with the AK240. So perhaps they're a good value. I actually never use EQ so that's a non issue for me. I'm currently using the X1 and to be honest, I don't really like it.

DAPS I've had, in SQ order: Pono>DX90>X3>various "i" devices. (imo, of course).

I hear you. If the Pono was available to me for a price even close to $250 I'd get it straight away......
