Well at least we know where they got the housing design from.

LOL, that's what my post was saying D's. Can't slip housings by us ChiFi guys. We've seen it all.

To be fair, they habe been using the same shape on their models for about the last few years:

I'd suggest the Hidizs Sonata for IEM's.

My Venture Electronics Odyssey should be here in a weeks time but according to Lee it's mainly for full sized cans and high Ohm earbuds.
Ok I saw the Hidizs sonata on Aliexpress for USD32.74 witch is bit expensive ( honesty I am not much aware of these things so I think it is expensive)
Actually I just need a type-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter so I found these two adapters , they looks good and solid build quality adapters,

With that bass im not sure you can heard the micro details.

Well, the AKG N5005 is a similar set up (1 dynamic and 4 BAs) with tremendous wonderful visceral bass, and it doesn't obscure the micro details at all. Actually, the N5005 is one of the best micro-detailed IEMS I've heard in a long time.

$32 for the adapter is decently price, because there's a DAC and USB controller circuit inside the adapter itself. Cheap adapter, cheap dac and circuit, your choice.

But the N5005 are in a different league. I heard them briefly and know exactly what you mean. DM5 is nowhere close!

I got my symbio tips and my balanced cable for my HD58x. UNREAL!!

For some reason I have never tried my Shanling M3s and the Ibasso PB3 together. This is the first time I have heard this particular combo of amp and dac with newly acquired 2.5mm balanced cable. It is 5 ft by the way. Perfect length for portable use.

This combo here is just crazy. Crazy I say!

Not something new but I picked up a pair of NAD HP50 for $98 and am very happy so far :). Definitely more balanced sounding than I am used to but a very nice change up from my bass heavy headphones.

I had no idea they had them on Amazon. I have credit on Amazon. There for...Ordered!. Looks like I wont get it for a good 2-3 weeks however.

Will most definitely report.
Those specs look pretty impressive for $139. Looking forward to your impressions.

Listening to this tune

Cus you asked. Best deal in a very nice balanced cable for these cans hands down. These sell for double elsewhere. https://www.ebay.com/itm/XLR-3-5-2-5-16-Cores-Headphone-Cable-For-Sennheiser-HD25-1-SP-HD580-HD650-HD600/222948192204?hash=item33e8bf6fcc:m:m8offLBmxSmfa1Mo0VTYpIw&var=521760375102 Sound unbelievably great sounding with my HX58x and cable.

Definitely look forward to hearing these. Got the black one. Was very close to getting the blues but went with the blacks.

That cable is a frickin' steal!

Lunashops. Been buying cables from them for a while now. Got my balanced cable on my Z5 as well from them and a balanced cable for my ATH-IM03. Which is the exact same cable as the HD58x cable. Same material. This is why I knew these cables were a great deal. I already own one on my IM03. There are some cool Chinese made cables online if you look.

Aliexpress has some nicely made cables too. Ya for $40. These are in deed a great deal.

Ok it appears my poor memory and desire for a good deal got the better of me...

I actually owned the HP50 and sold them lol. But have to admit at $98 I am enjoying them more :wink:. Funny how our expectations change when we don't have to pay a fortune...
