OK here is my casual observation concerning this "SINKHOLE" of a hobby, IE: Earphones and Daps / Amplifiers. There is now a weird ratio of Cost vs. Diminishing returns. Let me explain. For about a month now I've been playing around with a Pair of what I consider "Budget" Earphones. So Tues. Night I took a pair of what some consider to be one of the TOP Audiophile earphones with me on My Nightly 600 mile Route from Detroit to Cincinnati and Back. They are Sennheiser IE8's I also consider them to be among the best I've heard.
 
Well after Listening to them, about halfway through the Trip I noticed I was "Missing" something in the Senns that the  'phones that were 5x LESS expensive than the Senns Provided. It was most apparent In a progressive Trance Mix of Nadia Ali's "Love Story", however also apparent in Keb Mo's "Everything I need".
 
I came to the scary conclusion that I actually prefer my Budgets to the Mighty Senns. Oh the Budgets?
 
DUNU TITANS. Around $115 USD. Absolutely the best I've heard in quite a while. Now that I have almost 400 Hours on them they are AMAZING. I have High Hopes for the Trinity Titans and the KZ's as well.
 
I think the IE8's have become a pair of White Elephants. Damn China.

It may not rival higher price IEM in technical abilities but it's a special One....the placement and separation is off the chain...you can virtually see the band playing .....too much EZY PZY

Yeah it still surprises me to this day. No matter what I end up getting, I always appreciate the Havi more and more because it is so unique and I haven't heard quite anything like it yet!

Wokei, Have You heard the TITANS? I have the Havi's ( burned in 300+ hours), for me personally, there is no comparison. Just my opinion, but In fact I just listed My Havis bundled with my IE8's on Fleabay.

To coin a phrase resistance is futile
