    @esanthosh - Thanks! There's a significant price difference. 260 SGD vs 156 SGD on lend me your ears. I'm curious about how vsonic goes about their whole baby brother thing with quite a few of their IEMs, is one supposed to be a cash cow and the other just to show off technical abilities? Are...

    Sorry about deviating from the current topic. I heard the Vsonic GR01 for a couple of minutes and they sounded quite nice. The whole range confuses me a little, partly because of the nomenclature used and me not being very interested in their products until I heard this pair :D I just wanted to...

    Some quick impressions and points for potential buyers to note, all based on some very limited time with the TDK IE800. Build quality is average. It doesn't feel badly made but there are certain gripes I have with it; 1) The housing is fairly large and tends to stick out a bit, if you cant get...

    The UI on the AK100/120 is quite alright. I hear they have full screen prototype that was on display here at the Mook Headphone Festival. They're grossly overpriced though. I like mine quite a bit, much nicer that the old iMods and far easier to carry around when compared to a three tier stack...

    Ah so it is the Music Two. Looks quite nice on paper. I just want something that's a bit more musical than my two previous iems, the Tzar 350 and the RE400 and with a better seal. I cant seem to get a good fit with most universals.

    The weird part is I don't know yet, getting impression made tonight based on blind trust in a friend who promised me a pair of customs, in silicone with a fun signature at under 400 USD. He's getting a pair too so well ship the impression out together. Custom art is polish isn't it?

    Lol no JH13 couldn't bring myself to buy it again. Have the ALO International already, but won't go cable crazy. Not a big believer in cables altering signatures or brining out finer details :/, have a couple of balanced cables from the SR71B days that will suffice. The TDK IE800 arrives...

    Haven't tried the RE600 but the 400 seems pretty good straight out of a decent DAP. Used it with the clip+, iPhone 4 and the AK100. The RE-1 is still my all time favorite IEM and I loved the 262 as well. Both of which I fell need an amp, the RE-1 more so. I think they discountinued a lot of...

    One thing Hifiman seems to have done with the RE-400 is create an IEM that doesn't have quality control issues (at least none that I've read about). It's the first of their IEMs that hasn't given me a problem. I have 3 to 4 RE-1s lying around at home as well as a pair of the RE262s with one...

    The 1plus2 is the one with that 1000 USD optional cable isn't it!! Crazy how expensive the high end universals are these days but they're up there with customs in terms of sound, and from what you see on various forums their second hand values don't drop much which is always nice if you're not...

    Didn't know it made a difference to the sound. Still on the comfort and isolation fronts alone the silicone seems to be a winner. The acrylic CIEMS do start to cause a bit of discomfort after a couple of hours, especially when you end falling asleep with them on and happen to roll on your side...

    and @ kenpachiroks The JH13FP the one I want the most. Not going to be tempted by the Heir BF sale, buying a used one and getting it reshelled by them for 99USD is still cheaper. Noble 4C interest me, the 4S is the silicone version right? Quite a markup there. But I think I will hold off...

    I agree, even though I'm using the AK100. The DX50 and perhaps the Colorfly c3 and the X3 as well, think the lower priced DAPs with card slots would sell better in India. The only reason I'd be willing to spend a bit more on the AK is its half decent user interface, which is not so common on...

    Santhosh, I know you don't want people saying it, but I'm really sorry for your loss. Can't imagine what that's like. It's been a while since I last checked out the forums, work has left me with little time to enjoy my full size cans and even carrying a 3 tier stack of the iphone + CLAS -dB and...

    The X3 is currently 200 USD with Free Fedex shipping and a free Brainwavz R3 that's normally 130 USD. If it's what you want now would be a good time to get it.

    Which one is better ? Ultimare ears UE900 or Westone 4R or Shure 535 ?

    At about 300 USD the Heir Audio 3.Ai is another option. Was a fun, warm sound with plenty of bass. I ended up buying the Tzar 350 which is quite different but had a chance to try the 3Ai as well. Seems to be in the same price range as your other options. If its hard to source then the IE8 is an...
