I'm thinking before you guys go spending a Couple Hundies on a bright detailed signature phone, you really need to check out the Bette F3 10mm Hybrid. They easily go toe to toe with the Trinity Deltas and DN 2000's, and I'm betting those Dukes as well, (although I haven't heard them), they HAVE to be close.

Just Saying.

I'm happy as a Clam for $43 USD and more impressed with them at every listen. Thanx jekostas.

JMHO You can believe me or not.

TWIN

Where can I get the F3? I'm having trouble finding it.

  Hey guys, after months of constant listening with my beloved Ostry KC06A, it sadly developed channel imbalance recently.
 
I am actually thinking of buying another pair again, since I loved the strong, focused bass, lush upfront mids and crystal clear non sibilant highs. But at the same time I wonder if I missed anything from the last months I should also consider. While I absolutely love my KC06A, it couldn't be helped that I got a slightly bit interested in other phones now that it broke. That said, the KC06A is my most beloved phone I ever had in my possession and I will probably rebuy her regardless.
 
If there are suggestion for phones, which I should try out with the similar qualities of the KC06A, I would love to hear about them. The costs should be less than 100€ btw.

 
 
I had the same issue with my ostries and have been on a quest to find an alternative...It hasn't been easy!
 
The KZ ED10 and Rock Zircons were described as having a similar signature to KC06A. 
I own KZ ED10 which I really like, and the Zircons are on their way.
Both can be found for $10-$15.

I don't think think the Zircons sound that similar to the KC06As. The KC06As have a brighter signature with mids that are more forward. The Zircons have more mid-bass and more recessed mids. I'm happy with both.

I believe he is talking about those: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012D4OX0I?colid=13LXZ1B6FH8K7&coliid=I1ZR43X5NU1MMY&psc=1&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl
 
BTW, I got the 8mm version some time ago along with the Philips Fidelio S2. Given that the Bette are about 1/3 of the price, their sound is impressive. I wish somebody had both versions and could post a short comparison...then again...
 
 
Cheers

I got the 10mm Bette, quite impressed, even without burn in.

Yer welcome. I think that the titan1 or the fxh30's would have similar signatures to what you are looking for. Personally I can attest to the Titan1's sounding awesome (and having a somewhat similar signature to the kc06a's).
 
You can search this thread regarding the reject ckr9ltd's from ebay - most likely authentic ckr9ltd's, but rejected due to small cosmetic issues. So far I know that Seleneium and Jant71 have received them and seem to love them. There is also the ckr9ltd's on aliexpress for under $100 that people figure are probably fakes, but pretty much exact fakes (ie from the same factory), because peeps are swearing by the SQ.

I am deciding between the CKR9LTD and fxh30. Always wanted to try out the CKR series! Not considering the Titans, because of the sound leakage and earbud design.
 
But I have to say, those Aliexpress offers of the crk9/ckr9ltd/ckr10 for 50€ tempt me a lot, but make me really skeptical at the same time. Hmm.....

Some sites call it the F3 some just call it 10mm Hybrid, 32 Ohm. It's THIS one:

jekostas reviewed the smaller sibling which looks a little different. It's 8 MM and 16 Ohm:

Looks like I'm going to have to pick up the 8mm so I can get a comparison. I don't know if anyone has BOTH.

i also have the ckr9ltd from ebay $119. Love them

Think these are good looking cans??

 

[B9Scrambler]

Sure do. Although you could put a Sony logo on them and it wouldn't look out of place.

Those are the ones I thought he had asked for. But rather getting them from eBay --> China --> snake mail, you can get them from Amazon at the same price and two day free shipping if you are on "Prime". I got my 8mm within 3 days in deed....
 
Cheers.

Ok, recieved my CKR9LTD's from Aliexpress today. OTB impressions..  soundstage is MASSIVE.. Mids are just superb (forward).. Bass is deep... Treble, very inoffensive.. treble quality seems to be of top notch quality with no siblance at all. I think its the real deal guys.. Unless you hold a knife against my throat, or challenge me with a $300 legit pair, it would be hard for me to believe that these are fakes..

 
 
Btw i had bought these for $54 (unboxed version) during 25-8 sale...
Also, here are some pics.. (the ones with paint damage)

That is great news. I'm even more pumped for my pair now.
