I don't know what 'Takstar' is doing in the product name, because this earphone cannot be found on Takstar's official page. Quick googling shows nothing for 'ingping' except the aliexpress listings... wouldn't buy these, especially not with 0 feedback. They seem like random aliexpress earphones.
 
If you are looking for great cheap in-ears, go for a Xiaomi Piston 2 or 3, they are around 20 bucks, but amazing sound quality, very good-looking and nice build.

I noticed that some models disappeared from Takstar website. Maybe they are renewing their headphone lineup or just discontinuing some less successful models.

I've noticed that too. I do hope that they start getting back in the action.

Maybe, but there are literally no info on the internet that a Takstar H60 ever existed.

It's the v.2 and it's been around for some time. Supposedly they also put a longer head stretch for those who have bigger heads. But I'm not 100% sure.

Yeah a little bit longer band and straight cable instead of coiled, but those are the only differences.

Anyway i want to get those as my first headphones. We'll see.

anyone using the e10k with their pro 80's and if so does it improve the sound much from your onboard pc audio?

I do.
 
I didn't really try the Pro80 with onboard audio, but tried it with my phone. I sounds really good straight out from the smartphone, compared to Pro80+E10k the bass has the most noticeable difference, it is a bit bloated. Highs become a tiny bit rolled off and mids lose a little bit clarity, but again, it's still a very good headphone.
 
Using PC+E10K, there is definitely more detail, bass is more controlled and overall crisper sound. This headphone is said to scale well with amp/dac, and that is definitely true in my opinion. It is also said that Pro80 is great without an amp/external dac, which is also true, just keep in mind that it can get better.

Sorry I didn't phrase it well. Default for me is PC+E10K+Pro80.
 
Compared to that, Smartphone+Pro80 sounds bit more bloated, etc.

For those whom it may concern now that you are talking about amps, my Pro 80 sounded worse out of my Fiio E07k than my onboard Realtek sound card. Fiio in general is known to have warm amps/DACs, but I'm not sure if this is the same for the E10, but the E07k was way too warm, making the headphone sound bloated and murky.
 
The E07k has the strange quality of lowering the bass the more Gain you add, but I generally don't like doing this since I think you can damage your headphone with higher gain? I'm not sure.
