There are 61 left in stock, try asking for a quantity over 61 it will automaticly change it to 61 and say that they are sorry.
So lookie what I just got.
So this is very interesting. I can tell the mids on these things are forward and bassy. I like the extended highs on these which adds to the precision on sounds.. However. I would rate these like this
highs
CC51=8320 I can tell the highs are a tad better on the CC51s but not by much and doesn't make the CC51 sound better. The highs are the best part of the CC51
mids
8320>CC51 The mids seem muffled to me. The mids and bass has less separation they bleed into one another resulting in a forward muffled sound. Congested on some more intricate tunes..
Lows
8320>C551 the bass on the C551 is ok but very colored bloomy and there is clearly an upper bass bleed into the mids..The coloration of the bass don't help the mids which is not as defined as I would like.
I prefer the sound on the 8320.. Way better balance than the CC51 and better definition as well. I got a great deal on the CC51 and they sound good.. They are not an upgrade over the 8320s. After listening to the CC51 I can clearly make out what is not right on them.. On no eq I can tell the bass is not as tight or as controlled. The bass is so boosted on the CC51 by default that when I first heard them I couldn't believe how congested they sounded.. Listening to Trance.. Not even close. These are clear in the highs but everything else is not. They don't even come close to the 8320 in trance. The CC51 just don't sound right at all for Trance.
listening to Jazz.. The better clarity balance and detail of the 8320 wins here as well..Will update more once I give these more of a listen.
For the guys what are wondering how the CC51 stack up to the MP 8320? They don't..I can't get over how muffled the sound is on these..These actually sound like good cheaper buds to my ears. You will get an actual upgrade in sounds over the CC51 by spending less...The CC51 to me is a downgrade.
it's a joke that they sell for $7.11.
Just placed an order...nuts with the gems you find I have to wonder how many turds you come across before hitting gold. I didnt like the HTF600 too much but they were nice for the price, hope I enjoy these.

I wondered the same thing. And I too wasn't blown away by the HTF600, but these are incredible to me. I think they are an even much better value. These I will use, I couldn't find a use for the Pannies. But I didn't mod them in any way. I want the velour pads.
It begs the question, Dsnuts. Of your two finds, which do you like best?
They both have their uses and qualities but I think the value and sq you get from the MP wins hands down... .
