Don't currently have the EX1000. As for the 20, definitely, need to tip roll to bring out its best sound. And you need to keep in mind it's open. You probably wouldn't hear it at its best at a meet. Amp or a good DAP also makes it sing. I currently use the Sony NWZX100HN and my S8+ the most for it. The sound is glorious!

Thanks for the impressions. Have you tried the 'Reveal' dsp plugin audeze released? I have seen a number of comments saying the iSines are much improved with either a cypher cable or some kind of eq compensation.

You got rid of the Z5? :O Why?

it actually died on one side. Faulty MMCX connection, in my attempt to spread the connectors more open the pin inside the IEM broke off... Needless to say I was not very happy when it happened... Ok I'm still not happy .

On a different note. I also bought a 2nd Adagio Club for $38 since I accidentally washed my first pair!!! The first pair still worked but I wondered if they were working like they were supposed to. The new pair confirms that aspects of the sound were compromised in the wash. This new pair has much better mids like the first pair had when I got them.

If the AF140 up's the ante of the Adagio I think I will be pretty happy.

 

[dweaver]

The Adagio is a steal at $38 gotta look after this pair this time! It might only have 2 drivers but they tuned them mighty fine. I am really surprised these have no following. I know they are supposed to be an AF78 rebadge but I wonder if that is really accurate or not. I am not going to get an AF78 to find out but I wonder...

Hope everyone applicable had a good holiday!!

Cute budget hybrid to try??(not to expect too much but some fun)

Another dual dynamic single armature hybrid...http://173.214.160.182/store/produc...DIY-HiFi-Bass-Headset/119089_32841373137.html

Very much a CKR copy as far as the look. Around $25 with a coupon or whatever even early so it'll drop and might be worth a punt to mess around with.

Annnnd, Sony has more expensive BT stuff. Hey, if a BT cable is $200, if you attach an earphone to it it should be $300 right?

It's will be ready interesting 2DD+1BA and i think you are the first buyer for these because i saw their is only one order ,

 

[jant71]

Nope just saw them but didn't buy them. So, was someone else. Would like to hear how open the back really is first esp. with two dynamics. Certainly what I like for the potentially bigger stage and benefits of improving dynamic bass performance. Why I am interested in things like the Falcon C, new Radius, and others and have gotten back into my GB1000.

Love those vents...

Have you any information about the release date of Falcon C and the other one ( i think the DK 4001)

 

[jant71]

DUNU have been posting some pics of the Falcon C but no date yet. Think we are close but haven't heard when.

Yeah very interesting and excellent products are about to come from LZ, DUNU and Oriveti ,

This is how to take a pic of a cable to show how supple it may be...

Visions Electronics in Canada. They have them on sale as part of their Black Friday sale. Unfortunately they only have them in the stores and most stores are sold out. I got 1 of only 3 left in Calgary.

So I went ahead and got myself a Ibasso It01. Initial reports are very positive and while I was leaning toward the F9 pro. I have a good feeling about the earphone and then there was this little curve ball.

New on Penon audio is this little good looking earphone called the Nabolang F910

@Dsnuts The NABOLANG has been on AliExpress for a while now. I wasn't a big fan due to never being able to get a proper fit, but I think it was Podster that also had them and enjoyed them quite a lot.

 

[Dsnuts]

I remember dual dynamics being somewhat exotic at one point like 3 years ago. I like that the housing is larger for the dynamics, probably gives them some room to breathe. I can see how they can be uncomfy for smaller ears. I thought it was cheap enough to give it a try. Will see how they are once I get em. I can see them being a bass heavy earphone however.

The IT01. Can't wait to get my grubby hands on em.
