guys im looking for under 100$ upgrade for my dead vsonic gr06 (3.5 years)
needed more highs, brightness, and detail from my gr06- macaw seems to just have it all
my main option now is the macaw gt100s as the review saying its better than all other iems in the same price.
i really wanted dual driver iem but those just seems to outperform all the others.
to release  the trigger for 69$ from penon audio?

Never heard the Macaws, but GR07 might suit your need.

Ive read e80 can be worn up or down equally. Im wearing mine in gym when i get them. For $54 i had to try them while i consider tpeos 2000j, ckr9 ltd, or fidue a73.


The E80 are just as good as the A73 and ckr9. Can't vouch for the 2000j, which is Dunu, but those are supposed to be special sounding.

Really easily actually. I'm going to take them outside into the sunlight; if they don't sparkle I'll know they aren't legit. That's how I test all my earphones for authenticity.

In all seriousness, the eyes and ears test. The latter being the harder part to fake. I think, worst case scenario it's probably what ds said. I don't think they're gonna be fakes. I'll make sure to post a bunch of unboxing pics when I get them.

 
Vs. the Rockets is a good test. I had the Rockets and also Vlenbo's CKR9 on loan. The LTD's improved mids should hold up better than the regular 9's mids vs. the Rockets if real. Other things as well but that is a good start :)
 
Did you get the Expedited shipping, Selenium?? If so, how much was it?
 
Gratuitous FXT with bi-flanges shot as they look quite cool with them on and sound good as well with them...

As promised, Westone ADV Beta review is up: http://www.head-fi.org/products/westone-adventure-series-beta-high-performance-earphones-78401/reviews/13724

Btw, just read Lachlan's Alpha review from 2 years ago, and his sound description of Alpha aligns with Beta (the same 6.5mm micro driver, alloy shell, detachable mmcx cable, and great response to EQ to correct that bass bloat :)).


I understand that you're reviewing the total package, but my brain is having a hard time reconciling the low-ish sound score with the four-star rating. Great review all the same. :xf_eek:
