    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    Thanks Chris! Sounds interesting, and the form factor looks like it would suit me. Should be able to get deep insertion, and thus hopefully good isolation.

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    How would you compare the Mini2 to Ety HF3 or Klipsch X10? Pure BA. I don't do hybrids much. Since I use my IEMs mainly on the commute, isolation is one of the most important aspects for me, which more or less rules out anything with a vent.

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    Haven't been here for a while, so I'm just curious - have the Chinese managed to start making decent BA IEM's yet? Looking for something similar to Klipsch or Ety, lots of details and great isolation.. :)

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    Has anyone tried to ask them if they can do something to make the shipping to the EU a bit more.. smooth.. when it comes to import taxes?

    Nah, only found one seller who had them, and it was some unknown store. Didn't think anyone would fake such an unknown IEM, but now, looking at it, the cable is slightly different, including the connectors..   I was going to contact the seller, but it seems the store has seized to be. Good...

    Received a new pair of Tingo FL800 today, based on me really liking my last pair (that I broke). Man, either these are faulty, or I've really changed my preferences and gotten better reference points, but they are sounding really muddy and hollow.. :(

    To Sweden, that would add 25% VAT :(

    Thanks, very helpful. My daily driver is an X10, since my ety died. Let me know when you've had more time with them and got over the new toy syndrome, they sound like something that'd fit me :)   Oh, and how is the isolation btw?

    Interesting! Let me know your further impressions when you've had some more time with them. Also, if you have something like ety or klipsch, I'd appreciate a comparison :)

    I'm waiting for the Chinese to start making good pure BA IEM's. Not a huge fan of hybrids, the ones I've heard tend to overdo bass etc, and I'm not willing to shell out hundreds of dollars on some unknown 8BA model.. :)

    ..except the fact that Oppo confirmed it. You're funny :)

    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    As I've understood it, we're talking about two separate problems. The HA-2 had the interference problems even before 10.3, and after 10.3 something seems to have happened that has started to cause problems with other DACs as well. Which ought to mean that for iPhone users with 10.3 and the HA-2...

    The Stax Thread III

    I have not read this entire thread, so apologies if this has been answered before.   I have the opportunity to buy the "old" Lambda, with a SRD-7 SB (don't know what the SB stands for) for about $300. Is this a good deal, and should I go for it?   Currently, my main headphones are K7XX, how...

    OPPO HA-2 Portable Headphone Amplifier/DAC Discussion Thread

    Then Oppo is lying to either you or me. Based on the symptoms, I'm guessing you. As stated before - a USB driver problem that only occurs when the phone has low coverage, which is repeatable ad infinitum, and that gets fixed if you put the phone in airplane mode just isn't plausible.   Anyway...

    Chinese / Asian Brand IEM Info Thread

    It's a bit of hit and miss when it comes to shipping IMO. Aliexpress is not the right place to order if you are in a hurry. The up side is that if it takes way too long, you can always get a refund, so at least you won't be out of your money. I've had items arrive in everything from one week to...
