I got a pair of the PK2 bad boys! Love em

Noob here - first post.

I wanted to say that I've joined the PK club & within 15 minutes of listening to the PK2s, I sent them back for an upgrade to the PK1s! The fact that I could hear the squeak of John Bonham's pedal on "Since I've Been Loving You" was what won me over. Maybe that's not a big deal to anyone or maybe other people have noticed that on other headphones/IEMs, but I've never noticed that before in any of the headphones/IEMs that I've used. That probably doesn't say much about my selection of headphones/IEMs, but I'm glad I found this thread & Yuin! I can't wait to pair the PK1s with my Fiio E5 & the D2 Boa I just bought from another Head-fi'er!

I bought UE SF5 pros a year ago, but I never really took to them. I find IEMs too uncomfortable. I want to sell them, but I have to wait until I've been a member for 30 days & have 50 posts.

Anyway, Yuin FTW!

I was able to buy a pair from Head-Direct a month ago. Came straight from China though.

From what I've read in other threads, they're not discontinued. I ordered mine from Headroom along w/ some full-sized headphones.

I loveeeeeeee my PK1!

It sounds like a Triple.fi, but very more confortable!

New PK2 owner here - loving it so far!

I was home sick yesterday, & FedEx was kind enough to surprise me by dropping off my PK1s. I spent hours listening. Nothing like a hot cup of coffee & great tunes to make you feel better!

They're great out of the box w/ my Clip & E5. I can't wait til I'm done burning them in.

Geez... it didn't take long for upgraditis to take hold. Gotta love it!

so what is the difference between PK1 and PK2? If these earphones better than B&O A8? If so I will thinking to get 1 too

PK1 requires and amp to reach max potential SQ-wise, the PK2 does not. On balance the PK1 is the better bud (duh), but the amp is needed.

Seems the PKs are experiencing a second coming. That's good, because they are great phones, and while the OK3s I owned were nice, their rounder shape hurt my ears. The PKs don't. I just have to get my pair of PK3s back from our nephew.

I'm loving PK2s I got. OK1 should be coming, and if it doesn't sound as good (or the fit sucks) as I'm hoping I'm probably gonna swap over to PK1s

Isolation is actually better than I was expecting. Better than KSC75s anyways.

Would I be able to run a PK1 on my Sony? I see that tstarn said that PK1 needs to be amped in order to reach max potential, but will it be able to sound pretty good unamped for me?

 

[tstarn06]

You can use it with your Sony unamped, but for the money, you'd be better off using the PK2 or even PK3 (my favorite) with no amp. Some folks have said the PK1s are fine ampless, but an amp really brings out their best qualities. Just my two cents. Also, the PK1s are a little harder to drive without an amp, so volume could be an issue.

I'd agree that the Sony will go better with the PK2 than PK1.

PK1 is a league above PK2.

when i first heard PK1 i couldnt believe an earphone can sound so big.

if they improve their product design and do some cool packaging ..they could have a bigger market share
