Monster Gratitudes. Similar sound to the CKN70s, but much more refined.


Good call on these, I had them on my radar all ready and they had the benefit of being available from Amazon.

Sound lovely, just what I was after in that respect, and fit perfectly. Every parts looks and feels pretty damn big, cheap and plasticky though.


Anybody know of other IEMs with a soft flat cable like the XB90EX?

  Anyone that's had the Carbo Bassos care to help me find a pair of IEMs for £150 GBP that are similar sound signature wise but improved / more refined? Looking for a complete upgrade with better sound, comfortable to wear for longer periods of time and better build quality. I probably sound like a broken record but most people in this thread have tried a lot more IEMs than me.

Heaven IV violet and white versions can be had for 130$-135$ from Kakaku by clicking the BuySmartJapan banner:

These are amazing earphones for the price, they are usually sold for 220-250$.
The bass is tight and punchy, mids slightly forward, very clear.

i have some grats on the way myself, hope they live up to expectations. make great gifts too, very nice package.
 
the xba3/30 have a similar cable but thinner. The H1 has a nicer cable than the xb90, feels and looks better made.

Okay, I know I'm not being nice on this Christmas Eve, but the XBA-H3 is so delicious when connected to an DAC-amp (in this case, the Fiio E10). Such a full sweet beautiful detailed sound.



For those who didn't like the H3 initially, it had to be the fit. This earphone kicks some serious a--! I'm just saying. For jazz, it just may be one of the best earphones I've ever heard. By the way, the DN-1000 is still doing a great job with burn in and wonderful layering for a hybrid. It's like the guitar hybrid. Great for the price. But the H3 is standing out in a place all its own.
