Is there any where to get a pair of HI2050 for a reasonable price? Or the Pro 80?
 
I bought a pair of HI2050 in 2012 for $45, prices now seem a bit higher...

Perhaps even more a clone of the original ISK HF2010. Frequency response chart, in description, is equal.

Isk hp 2011's are apparantly slightly different from the pro80's, but apparantly still excellent.

Any review for Takstar HD5800?

  Any review for Takstar HD5800?

 
I researched this HP months ago when it was 1st mentioned in this string. Ended up purchasing the very similar-looking HD6000 (currently F.S.).
 
The headband on 5800 looks a bit more comfortable than the one on the HD6000...otherwise seems the same.

Been looking for a budget overear, and so far I think my choice (price, quality & design wise) either Takstar HD5800 & Somic MM185.
For 5800 I read on some Spanish web with the help of google translate, it says more balanced than 6000, sits between Pro80 & 6000, plus with inline mic & more comfy, but damn its hard to find online, not even on taobao

If Somic MM185 only difers on color asthetics to the Somic V1, cannot really recommend it.
Almost decent bass (neither punchy), treble with average extension, but major default are the untrue/unfidelity mids. Vocals and most instruments aren't natural, have a kind of radiofonic timbre.
Soundstage is good for a "closed" headphones, but they are not really closed because the earpads are uneven and you can put a hole finger at the bottom untill the center of the ears. Also the interior size of the earpads are a little small, the external of the ears touch the pads. Good clamp and lightweight (264 g without cable).
Unfortunetly the global signature is a bit artificial, because of those metalic mids.
If 30-35 USD even so (not for me), but no more than that. I have a pair, will try to sell them.

This post really interests me. I checked out the Somic V1 pretty thoroughly ~1 month ago. Couldn't find it anywhere, but read about it. My interest was because the Status Audio CB-1, which I was thinking of buying, is quite obviously a rebrand of this Somic (they look identical except for the branding).
 
So I got the Audio CB-1 and found it to be a very competent, good-sounding pair of headphones. Its sound doesn't really jibe with your description above, which may apply instead to the somewhat different (and apparently cheaper/lower level) Somic MM185.
 
I have my CB-1 F.S. here, not because I don't like it (I like it a lot) but simply because it is quite close in sound to several other inexpensive Chinese closed back headphones I already have (LyxPro HAS-30/Marantz MPH-2); and not too different from the Yenona's, though probably more controlled/acccurate.

I read a lot about Status Audio CB-1, saw the tremendus positive reviews they have, even Zeos at Youtube was amazed by them, but i can not believe they are exactly the same as the Somic V1.
As you say, somewhat is different, it should be in the driver itself (better driver materials?), i don't know. But i wish to know
Can't believe no one detect the subtle lack of fidelity in the mids. Got to be something different, for sure. And i put them in burn-in for more than 50-60h (a little harsh on the highs went gone, the bass just a tad less, but not that unpleasant timbre on vocals and instruments, particularly on female vocals and even more notorious on live acoustics tracks).

Yeah, I also consider Somic because of CB-1 review, as I thought with rebranding, only the logo and some minor cosmetic change.
Btw, so MM185 suppose to be lower level than V1?
