    On the lookout for a universal IEM

    Thanks again for the suggestions! Will take a look at the Fostex TE05. The Fidue ones are again over the ear, might have to be more open with the over the ear options :p .... Some good stuff out there. They're on Massdrop at the moment. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/fidue-a83-hybrid-iem Will...

    On the lookout for a universal IEM

    Maybe I should start hunting for a pair of NOS Head Direct RE-1s That would be pair number four. :p

    On the lookout for a universal IEM

    @kenpachiroks Thanks! I'm unusually picky about this pair since I'll be using it everyday when on the bus/train and want to get it right the first time around. I've had issues with cables in the past and thus I'm worried about spending a considerable amount on fixed cable versions. One more...

    On the lookout for a universal IEM

    Been a while since I've been on here! Such has been the satisfaction with my two current IEMs. I am however on the lookout for a universal IEM and would prefer a single dynamic driver with removable cables. These would be for everyday use and I'm leaning towards a bassy, warm mids and not too...

    Xiaomi Piston 2?

    @geek0killer I've had them for about 4 months. I got them along with the Mi3 directly from the Xiaomi SG site for about 17 SGD which was the bundle price so I'm certain they're not one of the fakes that are apparently quite common. They're rather larger so I cant get a good seal with them, one...

    Quck update to that Mikros 90 post from here - http://www.techenclave.com/community/threads/random-iem-headphone-rants.106883/page-107#post-1938003 Performed the "bass mod" that was mentioned on head-fi and to my surprise it did make a considerable difference. Not something I expected, after...

    No, but sounds like everything I expected it to be and more. I was looking forward to something similar to the HE4 that's easier to drive, but this is apparently not too far off from HE6 and HD800 levels of "awesomeness". Early impressions are misleading which is why being broke right now is a...

    I love it when someone brings out a flagship product that I don't crave. It's awesome! Unfortunately for every Harmony there's also stuff like the HE560.

    It should still be under warranty. I just checked my mail and the paypal payment was made on 6/6/2013. Mail them, mention the fact that the strain relief broke and you fixed it before you send it in. They have a pretty decent customer service setup and I don't think you'll have a problem.

    Random IEM / Headphone Rants

    I picked up a pair of the Martin Logan Mikros 90s about a week ago. The primary reason behind this purchase was to limit the use of universal IEMs when I'm working or watching stuff on my laptop. I rather like these for everyday use. The build quality is good, the leather lined cups and...

    Custom Art made an announcement about the Harmony today on their Facebook page. Seems like a JH16 type offering, impressive but probably not my kind of thing. I think @toxicdrift might like them though :D .........should have a good bottom end without compromising on details.

    Looky what arrived in the mail today....

    Bottle Head Crack with the Speedball upgrade ;) Is the HD600 on sale too? Don't think my HDFC A/C is operational anymore. These deals are really sweet, the HD800 is cheaper than a pre-owned one on head-fi if I'm not mistaken.

    Sushant! Buy it and sell it to me at a substantially lower price in a year :)

    It is all about Two

    Like toxic says mail him. I've never had to wait for more than a few hours for him to reply. He'll send you a PayPal payment request/invoice.

    Anyone seen these? Never heard about them until today. 1400 USD, single driver iem, probably in collaboration with Final Audio again. :hungover: http://shop.iriverinc.com/index.php/astell-kern-akr02.html http://www.amazon.com/Astell-Kern-Balanced-Armature-Earphones/dp/B00HWZY75K

    Random DAC/Amp Thread!!

    If it's a pure line out like the old iPods then that's reason enough to switch :) Will wait for it to be on the market for a few months at first. Mid to high end DAPs can have some really annoying UI. I thought the Titan was just the AK120 with more internal memory. Not sure though. I can...

    Random DAC/Amp Thread!!

    Does the X5 have a proper line out? Any idea how large it is in comparison to some of the other DAPs out there, especially the AK100. Going to demo the AK240 when I can. I think it's a bit ugly, too large and way too expensive like all things AK. But the features and the UI are unparalleled...
