some use it for "diamond like carbon"
Kanas Pro is "diamond like carbon", Ibasso model is "Diamond-Like Coating"

Those are the same thing. DLC can only be done with carbon atoms and it's not a new process. Same process is used for coatings on watches, metal tools, razor blades, car parts and any other component that needs a protective coating. I don't know exactly how a carbon coating changes the properties of the membrane, but I think the substrate is more important.

There are at least 7 common forms of DLC; Probably a near infinite number of blends actually. The hardest being cubic crystaline like diamonds.
But there are softer forms containing more hydrogen and other impurities.

And then the actual film thickness and how it is attached to substrate changes stiffness of a driver... Lots of variables to play with,

Just saw a tidbit about JVC at CES for headphones. Seems mostly BT stuff for JVC USA.

A new lineup of JVC headphones, centering on Bluetooth®-compatible models for wireless music listening

We will mainly showcase our lineup of new Bluetooth®-enabled models of headphones, which are becoming increasingly popular. Displayed will be a family of products suitable for use in various situations, ranging from completely wireless models that allow users to enjoy music without worrying about cables and models with a voice coaching function for improving running performance to models with noise-cancelling technology that filters out ambient noise.

A couple interesting looking models in the picture but we'll see in a couple of days if there is something too them.

Hi there,
Any experience with the MP-240's?
Listening to them I really liked them and I am fishing for some info here at head-fi regarding comparisons with other iems in the 200-300 euro price range.
I would appreciate some feedback.
Thanx

unfortunately I don't have any experience with the 240 as I made the choice to try the 220 instead and my budget didn't allow for more than the one purchase.

Love my E12A. Still use it on occasion but been using more my new Shanling M5s. E12A has served me well. It has enough power to drive my DT1990 pros with ease. Sounds great with other cans I own too so more versatile than just using them for in ears.

Coming from you, my enthusiasm for getting it in my hands just went up 10 fold! Thanks for that tidbit.

DLC is "diamond like coating" so has to be a coating. Also says on the site that DiNaTT has a DLC coating on the dome.

According to TFZ though better off waiting till the 15th for the King III. The better version over the No.3.

King III, meh design.....

For those who like a good ANC headphone, here is my review of the AKG N700NC

My review of the Whizzer A-HE03 - a beautiful but ordinary IEM.

Wow, wasn't expecting this. Great review, makes me wonder what is going to be my findings. Bacause Linsoul offered me a sample,
you toughts might match crinacle's having in consideration the early impressions of him.

I have these, and I love them. I will say that the bass, over time, becomes less dominant. Starts off like, kaboom! Then, it gets more controlled and is very enjoyable while staying very impactful. It’s a sound signature that I love and will seek henceforth. I personally enjoy it more than my DM6. Dm6, I guess, you can say is like being in the room...Kylin is like being in the booth. I’d rather be in the booth.

Sorry, what does being in the booth means ? google didn't helped me much understanding what you said

What I meant, was that the DM6, you might be able to pick out particular sounds better in some cases... but overall the Kylin is better at portraying the music as a whole.
DM6 like being in the room with musicians...Kylin like being in the Sound Booth with the producers listening to the mix. Just an analogy.
