The perfectly balanced IEM's for Trance?

Quote:

The specs on these are 32ohm and 96 db sensitivity, so they don't look very efficient.  Are they efficient, and how do they sound at low and high and volumes (distortion, clarity)?  thanks

They drive perfectly on every device I have.. By the way take the specs from monoprice.com with a grain of salt.. Their specs are off.. There is no way these earphones are 20hz-20Khz, notice that is the specs on all their headphones? . The dynamics on these are 100% solid. Fully clean and balanced.. Let me tell you guys a little story.. I brought these over to my fathers house.. My father is an old school audiophile..He used to run the biggest record store in Suwon S Korea during the 60s and owns a collection of audio equipment in his basement that will make your head spin. I asked him if he can guess how much these were. He said $150? $200?  He was shocked when I showed him the web site where I got them for.  I am in the process of ordering a pair for him actually. .SO it passed the old man test and his ears are better than mine by a long shot...Low clear as day, and high volumes  no distortion.. These simply can't cost less than $10..  I do notice they need just a tad more volume on the same players I use them with vs my other IEMS.. But not an issue. The clarity, instrument separation, balance, fullness, treble, bass it has all of it in full force..
 
I know there will be guys that will doubt everything I say about these.  I mean it makes no sense. How can a $7.11 earphones sound good? It goes against any type of common sense what so ever. I am 100% certain if these were repacked and was released by lets say Sony or JVC and sold for $150 people here would crap at how great they sound and what a bargain they would be even at that price...                             You guys have nothing to loose in trying one out.          The cost is the equivalent to a cup of coffee and a bagel!

You absolutely crack me up man. In a good way. I think you should start the thread, but wait a second for a few of us to get ours in and tell you that you aren't complete nuts

I went to order a pair of those $7.11 earphones and stopped once they wanted $27 to ship them to the UK.

This will be funny when Monoprice sells out because of head-fi, someone mods them to be the greatest thing ever, then they become unattainable, and sell for $100+ bucks on the For Sale forum.
 
You'll wish you paid the $27 bucks

Yeah I have, not really my cup of tea. I prefer stuff from Andy Blueman, Arctic Moon and so on.

I am listening to AB Everlasting (Emotional Mix) atm.....Good times...

I think I'll buy those Monprice IEMs just for the kicks. Compare them to my Ety ER4P and S, and my Miles Davis Tributes that are coming on Friday.
 
Also, anyone looking for some unbelievable uplifting morning trance should try Solar Fields - Earthshine. It's so good. The best ~1:20:00 of trance I've ever heard. Just throwing it out there.

anadin, do you want to do a mini-group buy? I think I'll be ordering two pairs so you would get yours for approx. $16 if you wanted to go ahead.

Count me in, give me a PM and I will send you the money via Paypal, cheers.

Dsnuts, you're already creating a buzz and no one has heard them yet! Impressive. You should go into creative copywriting in advertising.
 
I'm just as excited for my Monoprice as I am my Westone 4 that are on the way. 

 

[Dsnuts]

Hey now we are talking. I especially like the fact that it will be Trance lovers that will get these first.. Please do compare them to the higher end IEMs.. I am more of a headphone guy more so than in ears and that is my only excuse for not owning more Iems but you guys tell me if I am full of poo... I just can't get over how great these sound..I hope they don't take over your high end IEMs that would be a tragedy. If anything you guys can use these as a back up or for the gym..
 
Who says you have to use throw away cheapo crap and not get your full sounds anymore... I keep on listening to these to try n find a weakness..One clue to the level of sound on these.. How many 14.2mm Drivers you seen in a iem.? I thought 10mm was big in a earphone. Big sound, big dynamics. @ anadin. Go for it man even at higher price I would pay to get these.. I am gonna bet you have never heard anything approaching this quality even at your price.  If anything you will be the first to try one there. .

How do you find these random buys? I mean monoprice.com?!? And then what posseses you to pull the trigger on it? How often do you do this? How often does it turn out well?

Oh yea. I am excited to hear how they stack up to your other higher end Iems.. I have had these for several months now and have been using them on and off.. The other Bass heavy Iem I use is my JVC FX1X.. The JVCs are no joke in the Bass department. Some of the biggest bass I have ever heard in any headphone or earphone. But those are a bit too warm sounding. Lack detail and better balance. These monoprice however are an anomaly. Usually when you have big full bass there is always something lacking. highs not defined enough or recessed mids. 
 
These sound fantabulous for mellow music as much as uplifting trance..Hip hop. RnB.. Vocals. Jazz. Oh man they sound great. I have plenty of great sounding bass heavy headphones I listen to trance all day with that cost infinitely more than these little monoprice but you know what. If you were to listen to how these sound, these stay on top with the others I have with no inclination of how cheap they were.. Which is simply mind blowing.!

I bought a headphone from them the DJ monoprice headphones which turned out to be the Kicker HP541 rebranded. Exactly same phones. I had no idea they carried a full line of headphones at monoprice. Notice how cheap everything is.. I was blown away that you can get a top sounding can in these Dj cans for $20 so I took a chance and ordered several earphones as well. http://www.head-fi.org/t/569454/attention-bass-earphone-fans-can-this-beThis is the thread I started.. I wanted to see if maybe there were some other rebrands that I was not aware of. I mean for the price why not right.. The other bass heavy monoprice sound like the price payed but these 8320s. Wow.. I realized after burn in. Just how much more complete these 8320 sound vs the Sony EX41b.  After getting used to the sound the monoprice I listened to the SOnys. There is no comparison. The 8320 leave it behind in every way.
 
Believe me I go through more turds than finding a gem but I don't know what it is. I have a knack for finding good stuff for cheap I suppose. The HTF600 now these. I actually found these Monoprice before the HTF600s. I just haven't had the chance to bring these up for everyone to try.
 
It is funny. .I can show you guys countless links for guys that wanted " BEST IEM under $50 or Need cheaper IEM or Best Bass under $100 ect ect.  I mention these and throw a pic like I did here, and usually everyone just ignores it and moves on. It makes me laugh actually. Ya who is gonna trust a guy name Dsnuts. Lol!! This guy must be a clown.!

A tad lifeless, owing to it's much too neutral presentation. Not to mention, the W4's low end is much more geared towards quality, than quantity. I prefer a good balance between both, for which there are quite a few competent alternatives.

Well, he can find them indeed, and not everyone ignores your suggestions nutsman...lol.....  After reading nuts' threads in mentioning the JVCs, I decided to try them and I was very glad I did...So glad, I started a thread on them....Just did not remember your username, but I knew you were out there...
